Damn.
“I never had any friends,” I admitted, hoping he felt less alone hearing that. “My mom was always hard on me whenever I misspoke, letting me believe I was constantly saying the wrong thing and offending people. It was just easier to be quiet and keep out of everyone’s way.”
Silver took my hand in his. “I was bullied for having no magic and my first kiss was a bet. It was with my crush which only made it hurt even worse.” I tightened my grip on his hand, hating I wasn’t there to share his first kiss with him.
“If only we’d been friends back then,” I said, meaning all of us.
“Life would’ve been much easier,” Niam agreed.
We spent the next hour getting to know Altair better, sharing stories we hadn’t shared until now. I hadn’t had this much fun with other people before. I guess I’d better get used to having friends. I smiled, or rather, having a family.
Chapter 28

“Are you sure it’s working?” I asked. My eyes were closed so I could concentrate better, but not being able to see was proving too difficult.
“Well…” Julie said, proving it wasn’t truly working. I sighed and opened my eyes. We had made a thing with a shimmering effect in the air, but no portal.
“Maybe we need the locket?” Niam suggested, taking the locket out of his shirt.
“You need to use it on Altair before we can search for Tino,” I reminded him.
“Oh, right!” Niam went back inside the RV to free the locket from searching for Altair. A few seconds later Niam was back.
“Wasn’t he sleeping?” I asked, raising a brow.
Niam shrugged. “Not like I was hurting him.”
I just shook my head and got ready to work on the portal again. Julie was our enthusiastic helper, or she had been, around an hour ago, now she was more like our observer.
“Let’s all picture Tino while you hold out the locket with your free hand,” I suggested to Niam, as we all fell into place. They nodded, ready to try this new thing. A flicker of a portal began to show up, but just as we started to get excited, it vanished.
“Damn! I thought we had it!” Xari cursed, kicking the innocent ground.
“We’re getting closer,” I reminded them, ready to step in and offer positivity. “We might just need some rest. Our magic is still new to us, and we have no one to teach us how this works. But what we just did was so close. Tomorrow I’m sure we’ll have it.”
“I love how much faith you have in us,” Wilston whispered, hugging me from behind.
“He’s a little doubtful,” Xari said, exposing my lies to the others. I shot him daggers with my eyes, daring him to say anything else. His hands came up, protecting himself as he slowly backed away from me and Wilston.
Wilston chuckled behind me as soon as they were out of sight. “I love when you scare Xarius.” I laughed, too, feeling drained but also damned happy. We were close. I just knew it.
“Would you love a bath as well? Because I’m feeling all dirty,” I whispered, rubbing my ass back against his hardening cock. It had been way too long since I’d had him inside of me. And now. Now we had much more space to fuck around in.
“Lead the way,” he replied, taking my hand in his. I laced our fingers together and moved us as far away from the RV as possible, then felt my pocket and breathed with relief when I felt the lube packet was still inside. I’d snuck it in there earlier today, ready for whenever we’d manage to have a moment alone. I was almost certain Xari and Niam were doing the same thing as us, they just had a room for privacy.
“Make a wooden wall here,” I ordered, holding his hand so my wind magic could help him build faster. As soon as the wall was up, we made another one so we had a triangle shape we could hide inside. We made a silencing ward around the triangle, hoping it would be somewhere we could escape to again in the future if we had to stay here for longer than planned.
I held onto the wooden wall, letting him undress me. He didn’t waste any time tugging my pants and panties down in one movement and kissing my left cheek.
“Lube in pocket,” I said, proud of myself for formulating the words. I was stroking my dick slowly as I waited for Wilston to join in on the fun. When I heard his zipper, I dared a peek over my shoulder, loving every time I had an unobscured view of his cock.
“I really want to take my time with you, darling,” he whispered as he stepped up behind me. “But I fear it won’t truly happen until we’re back in the Realm of Mages. I just need to be inside of you right now. But please know that when time allows it, I’m going to lick every part of your body. I’m going to kiss you everywhere, map out every single part of your entire body, and only after I’m satisfied that I’ve shown love to every piece of you, then you’ll get my cock.”
I whimpered, way too needy to hear about a future where we’d have all the time in the world to worship one another.
“But that ain’t today. Today I’m selfish and greedy. Today I’m fucking you.” He breached me with one finger. “Hard and fast.” His finger worked me open, not painfully, but as fast as he could, his words matching the urgency of his movements. “I’ll make the stars seem brighter as I work your hole open for me. Only when they shine so bright you can’t take it anymore, only then will I allow you to come.”
