Page 30 of Elemental Love
“But Iamafraid, Evrain. Regardless of what you say you are, I’m terrified of the way you make me feel and that has absolutely nothing to do with the supernatural.” His voice was so soft that it barely registered, but he didn’t pull away from Evrain’s grasp.
Evrain just smiled, released him and carried on eating. When they were both finished, he loaded the tray with their crockery and stood up.
“Get some sleep. You need to rest. This has been an emotional day and I don’t think we should carry on this conversation until the morning.”
“You don’t?” Dominic’s pout was adorable.
Evrain resisted the temptation to take that sweet lower lip between his teeth and give it a punishing nip.
“I don’t, because if I stay in this room any longer I won’t be able to control myself, and much as I’m looking forward to fucking you through the mattress very soon, now is not the time.”
“Oh!” Dominic managed shocked innocence so well.
It made Evrain even harder than he already was. If the tent in the bedclothes was anything to go by, Dominic was equally aroused by their conversation.
Evrain grabbed the laden tray and retreated. Back in the kitchen, he put the tray down and leaned against the sink, digging his nails into the palms of his hands. Resisting the temptation to bruise those soft, sensuous lips had been close to impossible and his cock was not amused at his willpower. He sat by the fire and tried to calm his thoughts. The flames were spitting and sparking, mirroring his agitation as he unzipped his fly and allowed his aching cock some freedom. He gripped the arms of the chair hard and closed his eyes. With Dominic so close to him, he found it easy to focus. Light wisps of breeze caressed him, spiraling around his rigid cock with tantalizing delicacy. Heated fingers of air squeezed and released in time with his pulse and as his heartbeat quickened so did they. The soft touches were torture, and eventually Evrain gave in to his own need and grasped himself firmly. In the hearth, the fire rose and fell in time with his movements until finally there wasa crackling explosion of smoke and flame as he came with a strangled moan.
“Oh God, that’s so good.” There had to be some benefit to being a powerful warlock. If he had to settle for magical masturbation then that might just be enough.
Happily sated, Evrain had a wicked thought. He washed his hands, then crept up the stairs as quietly as the creaky old boards would allow. He stood at the door to the guest bedroom and pushed it open just far enough that he could see Dominic lying in bed. His eyes were closed, the lashes fluttering against his cheeks.Fuck, he’s so beautiful. I could jack off to that image quite happily.But that wasn’t why Evrain was lurking outside Dominic’s door. The tiniest pang of guilt hit him, but he brushed it away.I need the practice. This benefits both of us.He began to twist his fingers into intricate shapes.
Dominic’s eyes snapped open, his lips parted in a silent gasp. Evrain had to bite his lip to stop a chuckle escaping. He flicked his fingers and sent spikes of heat toward the bed.
“Oh!” Dominic whimpered, the sound one of pleasure rather than fear. He rolled onto his stomach then kicked at the bed covers until they slipped to midthigh.
Evrain licked his lips. He directed his warm spears at Dominic’s exposed ass, probing, penetrating just as he might have done with his fingers given the chance.
Dominic stretched his arms over his head and gripped the rail of the headboard. Face down, it seemed to Evrain that Dominic had his teeth embedded in his pillow. He was holding the metal headboard so tightly that his knuckles bleached. Evrain sent licks of heat to brush Dominic’s skin, slowly moving closer to his virgin entrance, pushing apart his creamy cheeks. He applied gentle pressure to the small of Dominic’s back, holding him firmly in place, and increased the heat. It was nowhere near hot enough to burn, but Dominic would feel every touch.
Dominic gasped and spread his legs wide in wanton abandon. He wasn’t attempting to escape—rather he seemed to have given in to sensation. He drew up his knees, sticking his ass in the air, and Evrain took up the invitation eagerly. He filled Dominic’s channel with pulsating waves of warmth. There would be no pain, just a tingling pleasure spreading inside Dominic’s body. Evrain’s fingers moved almost of their own accord, faster and faster. Dominic groped for his cock and managed to take hold. He’d barely made contact when he came, producing streams of creamy cum with a hiss of pleasure.
Once his body was drained, Dominic rolled onto his back and stared blindly at the ceiling. He appeared emotionally and physically exhausted. Evrain could only imagine the terrifying exhilaration of giving in to something he didn’t understand. He froze in place, determined not to give away his presence.
“Hell fire, Evrain, are you trying to kill me with pleasure?” Dominic muttered.
Evrain choked back a laugh. He was so busted. Dominic might not have seen him but he knew he was involved. Evrain couldn’t wait to tease Dominic the next morning and make it clear that he was guilty as charged.
Chapter ten
The next day, Saturday, dawned with the threat of more rain. The sky seemed to boil with dark, rolling clouds tumbled by the gusty wind. Evrain’s mood always seemed to reflect the weather, or perhaps it was the other way round. He’d slept badly, something he put down to spending the night in his grandmother’s bed. He felt unsettled and impatient, his thoughts a jumble of confused images. He needed to vent but hadn’t yet explained the process to Dominic.The poor love’s freaked out enough as it is.
Evrain paced around while Dominic pulled together a makeshift breakfast of honey-sweetened porridge and herbal tea, then sat and drummed his fingers on the table as he waited to be served. Dominic brought everything to the table and set a steaming bowl in front of Evrain.
“I don’t know what’s it’s going to taste like—I’d normally make it with milk rather than water.” He took the seat next to Evrain.
“Thanks, I’m sure it will be fine.” Evrain dipped his spoon in the viscous mixture and gave it a stir. “I’ll get groceries later.”
“You’ll need to bring all your things over from Portland, won’t you?” Dominic asked.
“Yep, and you must have things you want to move too.”
“Oh, I’m not sure that’s necessary, is it? Aggie didn’t specify that I had to move in here, it was just a suggestion.”
“A suggestion that you will follow,” Evrain said, unblinking.
“But you can’t tell me what to do, Evrain.” Dominic’s voice shook a little as he said the words, as if he didn’t quite believe them.
“Oh, I think I can.” Evrain stroked Dominic’s thigh beneath the table, enjoying the jerk of muscles. “Did you sleep well last night? Any interesting dreams?”
