Magic's Love

by Alexandra Von Burg

  “Evan, it’s beautiful!” she breathed. She put her arms in the sleeves, trying it on. It reached her ankles.

  Evan laid back and put his hands behind his head to watch Lila enjoy her gift. She was trying to look at every scene while wearing it, and contorting herself to see the back.

  “Did you know that cranes mate for life?” she asked him.

  “I did, my love.”

  The low pitch of Evans' words made Lila look at him. He was gazing at her through half lidded eyes, and he was hard again. His cock stood long and proud above his belly.

  “Take your bra and panties off, Lila, but leave the kimono on,” he ordered in a growl. HIs sexy voice sent a shiver down Lila’s spine, and she unhooked her bra. She used her trick of slipping it off without removing the outer garment. It made Evan smile every time. She turned to face him, the robe covering everything except for the middle four inches of her torso. He sucked in a breath at the site and let it out slowly as her hands went to the waist of her panties. She hooked her thumbs into the top elastic and slowly, so slowly, slid them down her legs. Evan made a sound in his chest that sounded like a satisfied growl. When the panties reached Lila’s knees, she let them fall and stepped out of them. Then she stepped over Evan and stood straddling his hips. The bottom of her kimono brushed his cock and tickled his balls. Evan groaned again and grabbed her ankles.

  “Sit on my face, Angel, I want to taste you.”

  Lila’s cheeks pinked upon hearing his words. No one had actually ever done this particular thing to her, and she felt woefully inexperienced. Then she remembered that she and Evan were already mated, and he had plenty of experience. Still, she should probably tell him.

  “What is it, Angel?” Evan asked gently. He’d picked up her distress through their bond.

  “I’ve never done this before,” Lila whispered.

  “What, been on top?”

  “No. Cunilingus.”

  Evan stared up at her.

  “Never?”

  Lila had to smile.

  “No. I haven’t had that many boyfriends, and I never asked them.”

  “Why the feck not?”

  Lila laughed.

  “I don’t know, it seems like a very intimate thing to do. I guess I didn’t want to do it with them.”

  “Do ya not want it now?”

  “No-Yes! I do, I just wanted to tell you.” She looked down at him unsure.

  “Come to me, Angel, give me your sweet ambrosia and I will make you see stars.”

  Lila knelt and Evan guided her into position above his mouth. With the first lick of his tongue Lila shuddered and nearly fell over.

  “Hold onto the headboard,” he instructed as his hands found her breasts and he licked her again.

  “Oh God!” Lila cried.

  Evan smiled.

  “And maybe try not to let the team downstairs hear you.”

  “Evan! You didn’t tell me they were still here! We can’t do this now!” She tried to crawl backward, but Evan gripped her ass and held her where she was. He laughed.

  “Now is exactly the time to do this. We can test your control.”

  Just Evan’s breath on her pussy was arousing Lila more.

  “No screaming, and no shakin’ the house. But if you have to, scream my name so James can hear it loud and clear,” Evan chuckled, and mirth danced in his eyes.

  “And if I have to shake the house?”

  “Don’t bring it down on their heads,” he grinned.

  “That’s not funny-Ahhh!” Lila cried as Evan closed his mouth on her clit and sucked it gently. He smiled and let it go. There was no way Lila was going to be able to not scream his name, and that was going to be the best revenge against vampire prejudice that he was ever going to come up with.

  Evan pulled Lila down on top of his mouth and held her in place with one arm around her waist as he made love to her pussy with his tongue, lips, and teeth. It wasn't long before she was crying out and rubbing herself all over his face. Evan watched as her light began to show, and he slid two fingers into her channel and curled them to rub her G spot.

  “Fuck!” she cried.

  “Control your magic!” he ordered, and then he sucked her clit hard.

  “Evan!” Lila screamed his name so that the neighbors three miles away would hear, but she did control her magic. As her orgasm crashed over her, there was a flash like heat lightning, but no booming thunder or shaking of the house. Instead Lila’s magic burst out of her in a rainbow of colored light and curled back in and around them both. Evan swore as the magic hit him fast and sudden, and in the blink of an eye, Lila was on her back and he was inside of her coming harder than he ever had. He stroked into her riding the orgasm, his body trembling just as much as hers did. It was so intense it was almost unbearable.

  “Fecking Heaven,” he panted in Lila’s ear.

  Lila made a sound half way between a laugh and a whimper. Evan drove himself into her one last time and stilled, and she wrapped her legs around his waist to hold him to her while she panted. Evan relaxed his lower body and sank into her warmth. He was starting to understand why she liked to hold him inside of her after they came. It brought him a feeling of belonging that he’d never felt before with any other lover, not even Fallon…

  Downstairs in the kitchen Lila’s team worked on identifying what shifters were involved in the plot to kill the Chosen One. A phone call from Alexander to the shifter council head revealed that shifters had their own prophecy about what the Chosen One would do for Magiques. Just like with mages, there were shifters who believed that the Chosen One would bring bad changes to their world, and apparently they were willing to do anything to stop it.

  James and Adam were researching online, and Sebastian and Alexander were following phone leads when they all heard Lila scream Evan’s name. Then every man at the table experienced the discomfort of a spontaneous erection and the arousal that came with it.

  “That FUCKING vampire,” James groaned, and pressed his forehead to the table.

  Xander looked at his watch.

  “I think we should call it a day, gentlemen. Come James and Adam, I’ll give you a ride back into the city. We can continue all this on Monday.”

  “I need to get laid,” James said to the floor.

  “Drop us at the Main and Tail,” Adam suggested. The popular tavern was one of the few in town that allowed all Humans and Magiques in. It was on Main Street, and it was also close enough to the office that Adam and James could walk to the garage afterward and get their cars.

  “Sebastian,” Xander said and stood.”I would invite you along, but under the circumstances, I think it would be best if you stayed home to lend your skills to the security of the Chosen One.” Xander smirked at his friend.

  “You do realise that I see Lila as a daughter, don’t you?” Sebastian asked irritably.

  “Not for much longer,” Adam laughed.

  James gave him a dirty look.

  “Jesus, James, get over it,” Adam said. “Even if you could touch her, Lila would never have chosen you.”

  “Why not?” James asked incensed.

  “Because she thinks you’re a dick.”

  They headed for the front door.

  “Fucking vampire,” James muttered again, making Adam snort with derision.

  Evan rolled off of Lila and began kissing her, his hands caressing her everywhere. He really couldn’t keep his hands off of her. She felt so good next to him, acres of naked skin to explore and kiss. He was going to make love to her all night until they were both completely claimed by each other. In the morning, he’d let the rest of the world have the Chosen One, and he would stand behind her and protect her. Then tomorrow night she would be all his again and he could love her over and over till they were both sated and she fell asleep.

  Christ, where did these thoughts come from? Was it their bond? Her magic? Or was this what a true mate felt like? True mate, fated mate, soul mate. They were different ways of explain
ing the bonding of two people who were meant for each other. Most talked of them as if they were mere fairytales, they were so rare, but Evan was old enough to remember when even humans found their true mates. These days there were so many people, and the world moved so fast, that it was nearly impossible to find one’s true mate. Again he had to wonder how he’d gotten so lucky.

  It had to be Lila’s magic. Either her magic was solely focused on finding her true mate, or it’s most powerful component was love, and it acted like a magnet, pulling them together. He had, after all, wondered at the beginning why he was so attracted to her, and nearly begged to be her guard. And what of Lunal’s interpretation of the prophecy? Was Lila fated to have three mates? Consecutively, or all at once?

  Lila’s wandering hands brought Evan out of his reverie. They started their own explorations of Evan’s body as if she felt the same need to know every inch of him. Her soft caresses felt so good, even if they sometimes tickled. He knew when she was ready for more by the way her magic felt inside of him. It became more effervescent, urging him to do more. Evan lowered his lips to her breast and began to tease one with licks and the other with light touches. She arched her back and moaned in pleasure. The sound made his cock ache to be back inside of her.

  Evan repositioned Lila on her back and draped her leg over his hip so he could run his cock head through her wet sex from underneath. He pulled her close and continued to tease her nipples. Lila’s hips moved with him as she moaned and sighed out her pleasure. Her sounds and her soft sex sliding up and down his length were an exquiste torture. Lila must have felt the torture as well, because she reached down, took hold of his cock, and guided him into her cunt.

  Now it was Evan’s turn to moan with pleasure. He slid all the way inside Lila’s tight channel, the new position allowing him to go even deeper. She cried out at the sensation, her muscles gripping him tighter, as his cock head rubbed the back of her womb. Her magic intensified, and began to move through him in a feverish manner. He ground himself into her, activating the nerves all around her cervix. Her channel pulsed around his length and his sensitive head rubbed against her depths.

  Evan dropped a hand to Lila’s clitoris and began to stroke. Lila cried out again and lifted her leg higher to spread herself wide for him. Her channel began to tremble around him and Evan pressed himself as deeply as he could, rotating his hips to continue rubbing the nerves at the back of her womb. Her whole body tensed and she reached down to grab his ass, pressing him into herself as deeply as he would go. They were both panting and grunting, rushing towards a climax.

  Lila fell over the edge first as her whole core contracted and pulsed with the deep orgasm. She’d never felt anything like it in her life, her whole body shook uncontrollably. Then Evan’s cock swelled even bigger and thicker inside of her and she felt him come. She cried out again and gripped his ass as if she could press him in deeper. Evan groaned and wrapped his arms around her and held her just as tightly against him. It took some time for them to relax and catch their breath, but eventually they sank into the mattress and calmed.

  “Is it always going to be this intense?” Lila wondered out loud.

  Evan just smiled and nuzzled her neck. Intense indeed. It had been their third spiritual joining of the day. He had never before experienced anything close to this kind of intense sensation. It had to be a true mate thing. It occurred to him that Lila probably didn’t think that a true mate was a real thing, and he went up on his elbow to look at her face.

  The light through the window was fading to dusk, but Lila could see something flash in Evan’s dark eyes.

  “What?”

  “You are my True Mate,” Evan said with quiet reverence.

  “True mate? You mean true love?” Lila whispered, catching his mood.

  His whole face relaxed into a soft smile.

  “True love, fated mate, yes,” he said, and leaned over to give her the gentlest of kisses. When he pulled back his expression looked awed.

  “You're serious,” Lila said, and her hands framed his face. “You believe in that.”

  He nodded, and wondered if she needed convincing.

  “What would you call it? This intensity between us?” He whispered the questions as if he wasn’t sure he wanted an answer.

  Lila stroked her thumbs over his cheeks and looked into his eyes in search of...something. Did he think that she felt less for him?

  “I would call it Soul mates, I guess, but I never thought it would happen to me.”

  Evan sank back down so that his head rested next to hers. Lila wrapped her arm around him as he sighed.

  “Neither did I, Angel.”

  Evan closed his eyes and let himself float on Lila’s emotions that came through loud and clear, both through their bond, and through her magic.

  Sebastian woke to a quiet house on Sunday. He was surprised to feel the anxiety of the night before lingering. He had thought that having Lila home safely would appease his fears for her safety, but apparently, in the last three months he had developed fatherly feelings for the young mage. Instead of being grateful for the vampire’s help with securing and soothing her, he felt anger towards him for taking Lila away from his care. These were not rational feelings; the girl was nothing more than his student. Yet he felt a certain ownership over her that he could not explain. What had James said? ’I saw her first?’ It felt like that, juvenile, irrational, but there none the less. So what would he do about these possessive feelings?

  As his student and ward, Lila could not leave his house until the council deemed her a Mage, and that could not happen until she had full control of her magic. The vampire would not leave her side, he knew, even if the team fired him as her guard. Xander was right, there was no better guard. In spite of the fact that mating might be a distraction, Sebastian was sure that Evan would literally guard her with his own life. Which left Sebastian “rooming” with a pair of lovers whom he had to see every day.

  Sebastian would gladly give up privacy for safety where Lila was concerned. This house had been set up for maximum security even before Lila moved in. There was no safer place for her, and if he had to listen to the lovers at night, he would in order to be another layer of safety for the Chosen One. Still, they could add soundproofing to Lila’s room, and maybe wards to contain her magic when she...got carried away.

  Sebastian sat at the kitchen table drinking his first cup of coffee and making a mental shopping list for the soundproofing project when Lila strolled in, showered, and dressed for the morning workout. Evan was ten steps behind, also showered, dressed in black, and wearing his sunglasses. When Sebastian looked at Lila’s face, he saw a serene happiness he’d not seen before. Sebastian glanced directly at Evan and caught the slightest upturn in one corner of his mouth. If he’d not known Evan for centuries, he would have missed it.

  “Good morning, Teacher.” Lila flushed as she filled her own coffee cup.

  “Good morning Lila, Evan,” he answered. “Care for some breakfast? There’s cake.”

  “There is?”

  “I brought it home yesterday, but you never came downstairs for dinner, so…”

  Lila guiltily looked at her Teacher.

  “I’m sorry, Sebastian,” she said quietly, her regret obvious.

  “It’s all right, Lila, birthdays should not be traumatic. Have your cake now. Would you like us to sing?” Sebastian pulled the cake box out of the fridge.

  “No,” Lila laughed, “Mom and the gang sang to me over the phone yesterday, I’m good. But you could take a picture for her.”

  “I’m afraid I forgot candles.”

  “No need for those either, my wish already came true.” Lila blushed, glanced at Evan, and then blushed deeply.

  Sebastian had to choke his laugh back. Instead he took the cake out of the box and put it on the table in front of Lila. Evan took his preferred position, straddling the bench seat and Lila. He leaned into her and kissed her cheek as Sebastian went for his phone as fast as he cou
ld.

  “All my wishes have come true too, Angel,” he murmured into her ear as Bastian clicked a photo.

  Lila threw her arms around Evan’s neck and kissed his lips, which Sebastian caught on camera.

  Sebastian got a bunch more photos of Lila and Evan for her mom and he texted them to her phone. Then he served her a large piece of cake and sat opposite the couple with his own slice. He scrutinized them as he ate, making Evan think he could sense the blood bond.

  “Are you sensitive to bonds, Bastian?”

  “Not particularly,” he answered pensively, “But I can see…” He looked between them, and then his eyes went wide as his gaze settled on Evan.

  “What?” Lila asked.

  “Lila, you put your magic into him,” Sebastian said with awe.

  Lila stopped chewing and turned her head to look at Evan. He looked normal on the outside. Then she looked through her magic and saw what Sebastian was talking about. Her magic surrounded Evan’s heart with a blue light, like a force field. She reached out and gently placed her hand on Evan’s shirt over his heart.

  “Is this not done?” she asked hesitantly.

  “I’ve never seen it before,” Sebastian answered.

  “But Mages bind to each other.”

  “Not like that, and a mage can only bind to another mage.”

  Evan covered Lila’s hand with his and looked at her with great love.

  “Can you feel it?” Lila asked him.

  He nodded.

  “What does it feel like?”

  “Like you, wrapped around my heart.”

  Lila smiled at him.

  “That’s what it looks like.”

  “There’s something else we need to talk about,” Sebastian said.

  Lila and Evan looked at him.

  “We are all concerned with the power that Lila has demonstrated recently. I’m sure that you didn’t mean to kill those two shifters. We need to continue working on your control over your magic, your emotions, and...”

  “And what?” Lila asked.

  Sebastian didn’t know how to broach the subject of her sexual magic.

  “Yesterday, when you and Evan were upstairs, your magic...got a little out of hand.”
