Page 53 of Keeping Sarah

“Understandable.”

Jac suddenly gasped. “The oil…tingles.”

I licked all the way up him, then asked, “Good or bad?”

“Fuck,” he growled, shifting restlessly beneath me. “Verygood.”

I grinned at him as I slicked my cock with the oil, then his, before I pressed myself against his ass. I sucked in a quick breath, too, as the tingling hit rather fast. A cold and hot sensation prickled to life and made me wish for a bottle of the magical oil to take home.

Everything was heightened, and as I penetrated my companion, an astounding blissful feeling took control. I leaned down to him, but kept a hand fisted on his cock, stroking him between us. Our kisses were rabid, and I could not contain myself as I slammed into his ass.

Lost in pleasure, he snarled against my lips, demanding more. I loved making his eyes flutter backward with every driving thrust. The fit between us was suddenly electric and Jac roared, “Fuck, now!”

I gripped him tighter, jerking his cock harder in my grasp, and he shot onto his chest and shoulders. Just as my own orgasm crested, I pulled out, combining my mess with his, our wild animal sounds mingling. We shared panting breaths as we recovered, then I wiped us each down with a random clothnearby, hoping it was of no importance to our host. Not that I really gave a fuck if it was.

Once our show was over, I turned our attention to our audience, only to find that it was only Tolkabern who watched. Our companion was nowhere to be found. Foreboding slithered up my spine.

“Where is Sarah?” I demanded.

The magician looked at where she had been standing beside him just a short while ago. “That is an excellent question. Contra?” He peeked beyond the corner, then he glanced back at us. “That is odd. She’s not here.”

Jac sprang out from under me and ran full speed at the magician, fury radiating off him. “What did you do to her?” he roared.

But the magician lifted his hand, and Jac immediately fell to his knees near the fire. He writhed in pain on the cave floor, but no sound came from his mouth. I stared at the scene playing out before me, horrified.

“Do not rush at me, boy,” the magician snapped. “I do not know where your contra has gone.”

I got up and strode toward Tolkabern far more slowly. He was angry and I did not want his ire to worsen whatever he had done to Jac. As calmly as I could manage considering my heart was in my throat, I asked, “Where could she have gone?”

“There is no exit from this end of my cave, aside from…” he rolled his eyes in annoyance. “Oh, bother.”

“What?” I demanded.

He shrugged. “She may have taken the portal to Rex’s manor.”

“What?” I hissed, not believing what he’d just said.

The magician gestured to a framed space on the cave wall. It was blurry, but also moved. He walked to it and put his hand onthe frame, like he was listening to it. “Yes, that’s where she has gone.”

I was half-dressed before I asked Tolkabern, “It will take us directly there?”

“No.” He gave me an odd look. “Don’t you know anything about portals?”

I jerked on the rest of my uniform. “I am afraid not.”

“You there, dress yourself.” He waved his hand at Jac, releasing the hold he’d had over him.

Jac stumbled back to his feet, gasping in pain. Much slower than I, wincing in agony, he began to get dressed.

The magician looked at me. “Portals arestrongmagic. Strong magic must be recharged. The portal will not work again until midnight tomorrow at the soonest.”

My brain could barely process that thought, that we would not be able to reach Sarah for an entire night and day. That she’d once again be in Rex’s clutches and there was nothing we could do to protect her.

With a feral growl, Jac ran at the magician again, but this time, he did not make it three steps before he was writhing in pain on the cave floor, just like before. I hated to see him so tortured, but this time, I was also annoyed with him for being so rash.

Helplessly, I watched him twitch and groan from whatever hold Tolkabern had over him. “Fuck, Jac, you knew better than to do that.”

Tolkabern laughed in amusement. “Yes, he did. But he is a man in love and those are not particularly logical, as I am sure you know.”
