By removing the threat that it sensed was attacking Tarek, it completely purified the field and the surrounding area. The Codex was dangerous and appeared to be a purveyor of both light and darkness. Cleanup went rather quickly since the Codex did most of the heavy lifting.
"That book is confusing," Ismael said as they made their way back to the SUV. "But it could be of benefit if we learn how to use it.”
"Tarek has an understanding of its uses, even more than he has shared, I suspect," Silas added to the conversation.
“He will continue to share. As trust grows, he will learn that he is no longer alone. He has a beloved who adores him and a Coven who will always have his back. It will take time, but that young man is worth it." Master DuCane stated. "He has a lot of potential and more courage than I ever expected."
"Cal's a lucky man, but he's going to have his hands full with that one." Ismael laughed.
“Full in the best way possible.” Silas quipped.
"Yes, the best." They agreed, each one thinking of their own precious beloved.

"We can move to the Palace tomorrow. I have a large apartment there on the fourth floor." Cal said as they entered the cottage through the back door. "This is our last night here in our private cottage." He pulled Tarek into the living room and placed a long, deep, lingering kiss on his plump, red lips.
"I was so scared when they took you, Cal. I feared I'd do something wrong and lose you forever." Tarek teared up, and Cal immediately pulled him into his arms and rocked him gently.
"We will always take care of one another. Nothing and no one will ever come between us. I will never doubt you, my love." Cal followed that with another heart-stopping kiss.
"I will never let you down, Cal." He pulled him down for another kiss, frantic and needy. "I haven't always beenhonorable, but I swear to you, Cal, that I will never let you down."
“I know my love. I know the man that you are, and I love every inch of you." He picked him up into his arms, holding him much like he had that first day. He then carried him to the bedroom. He needed his beloved desperately. After the scare, he had to have him in every way his vampire demanded it.
First, he had to get his clothes off. Tarek had dressed in layers for this mission, so Cal worked fast, but it still seemed to take forever to reach that soft, tan skin he so ached to touch. Finally, Tarek stopped mauling Cal and helped him get his clothes off.
Cal dropped to his knees and rained kisses around Tarek’s hip bone and across his abdomen before taking his hard cock in hand. Tarek was trembling and moaning so delicately that he was waiting for more, and Cal did not make him wait long. He took him quickly down his throat to the base, swallowing to accommodate his length. The moans grew more urgent, and suddenly there were hands in his hair holding him still.
Tarek began thrusting with gentle, shallow thrusts that gradually increased in speed and intensity. Cal sucked hard and took everything Tarek was giving, and then he gasped a sweet guttural sound that stirred Cal's erection, making him ache. Tarek came, filling Cal, thrusting and holding on until he was spent. Cal finished licking him clean and then sank his teeth into the large vein running the length of his gradually softening cock.
Cal held him as he cried out and came a second time, covering Cal's hand with his seed. Cal drank, taking his fill and feeling the rejuvenating properties of his beloved’s blood. Tarek shook, grasping onto Cal, and came again.
“Oh, fuck.” He ground out the last word and then slumped slightly forward as Cal pulled out and licked it closed. He looked up at Tarek and smiled at the total blissful look on his handsome face.
“You are gorgeous.”
“You have talents that are unmatched in this world.” Tarek teased with a half grin.
"You haven't seen anything yet, my love. Vampires are known for pulling every possible sensation and thrill out of their lovers, and you and I have only just begun." Cal said and raised one salacious eyebrow as he stood and quickly took off the remainder of his clothes.
Tarek got onto the bed and lay back, stroking his hardness for a few seconds, giving Cal a delightful show. "You make my blood burn," Cal stated, and Tarek smiled, knowing full well what he was doing. Cal let his vampire surge to the surface as he grabbed his beloved and quickly and fluidly flipped him onto his stomach. Cal then lay on top of him, pressing him into the thick blankets.
"Feels good, Cal. Feels so good." He mumbled and pressed his luscious, round ass against Cal's throbbing cock. Cal rocked his hips, sliding his cock up and down that beautiful ass nestling within his tight crevasse. They moved in rhythm, heightening their sensitivity and stimulating the heated nerve endings.
Cal then abruptly retreated and flipped Tarek onto his back. The move had the man gasping and crying out, “Don’t stop.”
"Not stopping my love." Call lifted Tarek's legs, pushing them forward to Tarek's chest, and suddenly plunged inside his tight little hole. The move caught him by surprise and caused arange of moans and groans, but in the end, it was pure bliss and a salacious smile.
“More, Cal, more.” The chants were music to Cal’s ears. He held him by the thighs and thrust inside over and over, varying his speed and force on Tarek's responses, teasing, pushing, and then pulling back just as he reached his peak.
Cal’s eyes were burning red, and his face had taken on the sharp angles of his vampire. Tarek stared at him with longing and desire, no fear, no hesitation, just need, stark pure need. "I love how you look at me, Tarek. I love the craving and the want that shines from your eyes. I love you." He said and continued hammering into Tarek, sensitizing and pushing him to climax.
“Again, I’m coming again.” He sounded shocked.
"I can make you come a dozen times, my love." Cal boasted and then thrust inside deep and hard and came, emptying his essence and marking his beloved once again. He continued to pound inside Tarek's hot, velvety embrace until he was thoroughly spent.
They were both panting, and Cal could hear his beloved's heart beating fast and loud. He pulled out carefully and lowered Tarek's legs back to the bed before moving up to lie beside him. He pushed the hair out of his eyes and looked down at the totally satiated expression on Tarek's face. It was a very satisfying image.
