But hadn’t the odd little wizard said, “Oh, he does love you so”? Why would he say that if it wasn’t true?
Shouldn’t Josh give this a shot?
No matter what happened on Sunday, Josh cared for Nathan.
He didn’t want to throw away what they could have together.
“Please.” Nathan’s voice had changed, gone softer. He reached for Josh’s hand, and Josh did not flinch this time. Their eyes met. “Let me show you how much I love you?”
“Like sex?” His heart skipped.
“It is how I feed, but also a major part of what I am. When you came without me expecting it at St. Thomas, it was like a gift. I want to give that back to you. Show you with touch that I love you.”
Nathan sidled close, and Josh’s dick hardened. “We probably should talk more.”
“Sex first, then talk?” Nathan said hopefully.
Josh was already in way over his head. He’d fallen in love with a partial sex demon. Witches and dragons were real. The captain of this magic ship was a demigod. Josh had so many more questions, but he couldn’t think of one. And when he gazed into Nathan’s hopeful green eyes, he let out a sigh.
“Oh, what the hell. Let’s get naked.”
Chapter Fourteen
THEY’D RETURNED to Josh’s stateroom, neither saying much on the way back. The door had been fixed, and the second it closed behind them, Nathan pulled Josh into a kiss. His demon roared, needing to possess every inch of Josh’s body, to plunge inside him…. No one’s ever touched him before!
He’s all mine!
But Nathan held himself in check and withdrew. “What do you want?” he whispered, cupping Josh’s face.
“I want….” Josh was breathless, eyelids drooping. “I want anything… whatever you want.”
“No,” Nathan said, caressing Josh’s flushed cheeks until their eyes met. “Tell me what you want. I want this to be special for you.”
Josh’s eyes rolled in lust and confusion. “I don’t know, honestly. Please just… anything.”
The sincerity and trust in those eyes were almost a more powerful aphrodisiac than the sweet musky scent of Josh’s arousal.
Nathan pulled Josh’s tank top over his head, caressing his chest, pausing only to tweak a nipple. He traced the outlines of sunburn on his shoulders, nipping and kissing his neck.
Josh’s hands were all over Nathan’s body, tugging his shirt out of his pants, yanking on his belt, squeezing his ass.
His little virgin was definitely assertive.
Nathan wasn’t upset Josh had managed to keep that secret. His growing love for the man in his arms had made his orgasms delicious, but the taste of trusting innocence was the richest icing on the most perfect cake.
He should’ve known virginity caused that extra sweetness in Josh’s release. But he hadn’t had a virgin in years, and none of them had tasted as delicious as Josh.
Yes, his initial assumptions had been correct.
Josh tasted like honey and heaven not because of innocence, but because Nathan loved him with his whole heart.
Fumbling, they landed on the bed in a tangle of limbs, kissing, groping, grinding, and touching everywhere. Somehow Nathan managed to get Josh’s shorts around his knees, and that erect cock called his name. He drew it into his mouth, sucking with vigor.
Josh bowed off the bed and thrust deep into Nathan’s throat, crying out, “Oh God, yes!”
Those hands that Nathan never tired of holding in his own coiled in his hair, squeezing tight, pulling and sending shots of hunger through Nathan’s body.
When Nathan pulled off his cock, Josh whimpered. He sat back and quickly removed Josh’s shorts and underwear. Then he shed his own clothing, eyes soaking in the wanton display of trust and desire sprawled across the bed, Josh’s legs spread, arms out, waiting for possession.
No one has touched him but me.
Mine! His demon growled.
Their eyes met, and they both grinned.
Wearing a sleepy, seductive smile, Josh held out his hand, but Nathan’s gaze dropped to his cock and the sweet crevice below his balls. He recalled how easily Josh had come from fingers inside his ass, and he wondered….
“Roll on all fours,” Nathan commanded, voice husky with authority. His demon wanted Josh to melt from passion until he never wanted another man but Nathan.
Josh looked nervous, but then he was on all fours, his round bubble butt and the slightly hairy crease of his ass crack making Nathan’s mouth water. Crawling across the bed, Nathan took ahold of Josh’s hips.
Tentative and nervous, Josh looked over his shoulder.
Nathan gave him a smile. “Trust me,” he said, trailing his thumb up and down Josh’s crack in promise.
Josh trembled, and he sucked in a gasp. “Are you going to…?”
“I’m going to eat your ass. Tell me no if you don’t want this.”
“No,” he cried. “I mean, yes!” He paused and his voice lowered. “I just… um, please?”
Nathan grinned. “I’m going to rim you until you come, screaming my name.”
Moaning, Josh dropped his head onto the mattress. “Oh my God… please.”
Nathan didn’t have to be asked twice.
He dipped his head and ran his tongue up that sultry crack, delighting in the whimpering sound Josh made. He pulled his cheeks apart with his thumbs, revealing that dark pucker. He didn’t hesitate to kiss Josh’s ass like he kissed his mouth. He savored the flavor, the rich fragrance of Josh’s desire washing over him, stronger than before.
Nathan sucked it all in, knowing his sex magic belonged only to Nathan.
Josh wanted this rimming more than anything they’d done before, and Nathan could feel his desperation and hunger wrapping around them. So he devoted himself to Josh’s asshole, licking, tasting, nipping, kissing, and probing his tongue deep. He made love to that hole, french kissed it for everything he was worth.
“Oh God, oh God,” Josh moaned. “You’re gonna make me come.” He rubbed his cock, the wet, slapping sound fueling Nathan’s fervor. “I’m so close.”
Not wanting to waste one drop of Josh’s precious orgasm, Nathan pushed Josh onto his back.
Writhing and convulsing, Josh threw his head back, tossing side to side in ecstasy. Josh jerked wildly on his cock. Nathan pushed his thighs apart, then thrust his middle finger deep inside Josh’s ass. He was so open and willing from all the ass play, it slid in easily.
Then Nathan gripped Josh’s wrist to stop him, and he drew that cockhead into his mouth.
Josh screamed and his body shook as he came. Nathan sucked in every ounce of cum that filled his mouth. Powerful waves of heat and desire pulsed against Nathan’s skin, filling him and making his cock throb as he experienced every second of Josh’s release, from the tightness in his toes to the sweet burst of nectar filling his mouth.
Even when it was done and Josh was quivering in the bed, aftershocks fueled Nathan with strong and powerful magic. He crawled up Josh, drawing them close and wrapping him in a full-body embrace. The euphoric waves of pleasure and the thumping of Josh’s pulse throughout his body created a heady power Nathan fed from like dessert.
Cheek pressed against Nathan’s chest, Josh let out a soft chuckle. He raised his chin and ran his hand down Nathan’s chest, making him shiver. “So that’s an incubus orgasm?”
Nathan chuckled. “No, that was just me. Well, your orgasm is better because I’m absorbing it and enhancing it. But no, that’s not even half of what an incubus orgasm feels like.”
Josh’s face went blank. “You mean, it can be better than that?”
Nathan cupped his cheek and smiled. “You have no idea.”
Chapter Fifteen
“ARE YOU hungry?” Nathan asked, lying in Josh’s bed, snuggled up and naked. Nathan’s hard dick was pressed against Josh’s thigh, an elicit promise of more to come.
Josh propped himself up on an elbow and walked two fingers down Nathan’s chest. Then he t
ook ahold of Nathan’s cock and gave him what he hoped was a seductive smile. “Hungry for you.”
Nathan chuckled and removed his hand. “Don’t play with it, or who knows what will happen.”
“That’s what I was hoping for.”
“I’m serious, did you eat breakfast? Are you hungry?”
Now that Nathan mentioned it, Josh hadn’t eaten breakfast, and with the events of the morning, he hadn’t even realized he was hungry. He shrugged. “I could eat.”
“You need to eat,” Nathan reiterated. “You have to keep your strength up… if you want to keep having sex with me.”
There was a nervous waver in his voice, and Josh studied him. “Why wouldn’t I want to keep having sex with you?”
“I don’t know,” Nathan said, the dominant lover replaced with nervous human. “The paranormal world is a lot to take in. I know the sex is amazing, it always is, but—”
“Oh, brag much?”
Nathan sat up in the bed, his muscled arms bronze against the white sheets. “Guys don’t take me out on their yachts in the Mediterranean because the sex is average.”
“All right, no more mentioning of guys with yachts,” Josh said, trying to sound funny, but incredibly insecure all of a sudden.
Josh had a modest two-bedroom condo and his tabby cat. He had a good job and made a fair amount of money, but… men on yachts?
“Don’t,” Nathan said at once, putting his hand on Josh’s chin and forcing him to look up. “None of them held a candle to you. No one does.”
Beautiful sentiments, but Josh’s insecurities battled within his mind. Yet Clare’s and Aaron’s voices were there too, telling him to not worry so much and have fun.
Their voices won.
Determined to listen, Josh pursed his lips and smiled. “Okay, deal. I won’t worry about all your other lovers.”
But even as he said it, he heard the bitterness in his voice.
“Does it bother you?” Nathan asked softly, trailing his index finger over the shell of Josh’s ear.
“Would you be disappointed if I said yes, or disappointed if I said no?”
“Meaning?”
“Yes, I absolutely hate the thought of you with another man, but….” Josh hesitated, his cheeks flaming. “But I also really like all the tricks you know, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.”
Nathan threw back his head and laughed. “Damn, I love you. But first, I’m ordering you food.”
Smiling, Josh watched Nathan’s porn-star body walk across the room and pick up the phone. He could hardly believe someone so gorgeous wanted to have sex with him. Or would say he loved him.
It was unreal.
But dragons, demons, and fairies were real, so why not this?
“I’d like room service, please,” Nathan said into the phone. “We’ll have scrambled eggs for two, with sides of bacon and sausage on each, and a fruit platter. A selections of breads, June plum juice, and some pastries, and a cheeseburger platter with french fries. Oh yeah, and send up a pepperoni pizza. Large thin crust.”
Josh gaped at Nathan when he hung up the phone. “That’s a ton of food. Are you planning on inviting thirty people for brunch?”
Chuckling, Nathan crawled across the bed and plopped down next to Josh again. His cock was no longer hard, but it was thick and impressive, even soft. “I’ll let you in on a secret. I eat three times the amount of food a normal person does, even more if I haven’t fed from sex. And every time I absorb your orgasms, I’m taking a ton of energy out of your body. When Bartholomew fed from me….” His smile faded, and darkness crossed his face. Then he forced his smile back into place. “Let’s just say I lost fifty pounds during the time he kept me.”
Josh’s face softened. “I’m sorry. How terrible.”
Nathan shrugged, his nonchalance reinforcing that it probably was as terrible as Josh imagined—or worse.
“Yes and no,” Nathan finally said. “I mean, the sex was scary at first, then awesome, and then terrible. But in between, he told me things Darrius doesn’t even know about our kind. In the end, I needed Bartholomew, even if he hurt me. I never pushed my magic on anyone again. Understanding what it’s like to be compelled made me a good man. Well, a better man, anyways.”
“Compelled?”
Those bright green eyes went wide. “I have magic, Josh. And I can literally make you walk across this room, get dressed, and go to the kitchens and get me food.”
“Really?” Josh’s pulse quickened.
“Yes, it’s called compulsion, and all demons can do it. My power comes from the other person’s desire to have sex with me. If I push my magic onto you, your desire to have sex with me will be so powerful, so all-consuming that you’ll do anything I ask. And I’m only one-quarter incubus. Bartholomew was full and very strong. He wanted to bond with me, keep me as his sex slave. But he didn’t, because that would’ve drained me of my very life force. I’m not sure how many years he drained off my lifespan as it is. Darrius says not to worry about it. I’m young and healthy. But I wonder about it sometimes.”
“So you’re slowly aging me?”
“No, that’s what a full incubus does. Orgasms create life, you know? Sperm and eggs make babies. The orgasm is a powerful, magical part of that, so incubi suck more than just blood and orgasms, they suck life. It’s how they stay immortal. But since I’m mostly human and mortal, when I absorb the magic from your orgasms, I’m only draining your energy stores.”
Josh scrunched up his face. “So sex with you is like a CrossFit workout or something?”
“Oh, it burns more calories than that.”
“You mean to tell me that if I keep having sex with you, I’ll get skinny?”
Nathan frowned. “Yes, but I don’t want that.”
“Oh my God,” Josh declared. “Let’s fuck right now. Maybe you can have me in size thirty-twos by Sunday.”
“No, no, no. I like you just the way you are. I don’t like skinny guys. It just means that for every time we have sex, you need to eat an extra three thousand calories.”
“Sex means an extra three thousand calories? I can definitely handle that. But maybe we could have sex three or four times a day so that I can just be a little thinner?”
Nathan rolled his eyes and hit him with a pillow. “I’m not gonna win this, am I?”
“I just wanna lose twenty pounds,” Josh insisted, grabbing the pillow to stop him. “Then I’ll eat whatever I’m supposed to.”
A knock on the door ended the discussion. Nathan climbed from the bed and hopped on one foot as he slid into his shorts before answering the door. A tall woman with orange hair wheeled a heavily laden serving cart into the stateroom, and the powerful aroma of food made Josh’s stomach rumble.
Nathan signed a tablet, and the woman left.
After selecting a soft wedge of bread, Josh scooped out some butter with it, then asked, “What was she?”
Nathan joined him, grabbing a slice of pizza. “Human. She’s Roxy’s girlfriend.”
As soon as the first bite of warm bread and cool butter hit Josh’s mouth, he realized he was ravenous.
The two of them managed to kill the pastries, eggs, rolls, and half the pizza. Nathan was tackling the burger, but Josh was stuffed—not Thanksgiving-undo-your-top-button stuffed, but satisfied.
There were definitely some awesome perks to dating a one-quarter incubus.
But that didn’t necessarily change the human realities.
Like what would happen when the cruise ended?
No! He didn’t want to think about that right now. He just wanted to enjoy the moment and make the best of the time they had left.
And he knew just the way.
Smiling, he inched closer and inhaled the scent from Nathan’s neck. “I want to feel you inside me,” he whispered. “I want to feel what it’s like… to have a man deep inside me.”
“My little sex pet is insatiable.”
“Sex pet? I should be insulted, but I like
the sound of that.”
Nathan smiled at him. “As much as I want to see about correcting this virgin business, maybe we should go into Aruba first? I want you to experience it.” He caressed Josh’s cheek. “If we stay in here, I’ll just keep making you come so much that the fairies on board won’t get anything done.”
Josh swallowed the sudden lump in his throat, and his cock throbbed at the suggestion. While he wasn’t all that surprised how sensitive his asshole was, he hadn’t expected rimming to feel so amazing. How much better would it feel with Nathan’s cock up there?
But something weird about Nathan’s comment made Josh ask, “What do you mean the fairies won’t get anything done?”
“Fairies are highly susceptible to incubi and succubae magic. When we orgasm, they’ll spontaneously orgasm if they’re close by. Which made for some pretty embarrassing moments on board before I learned not to come when I fed. But even if they were clear on the other side of the ship, they’d sense my magic and feed off it themselves. In fact, when I do come, even nearby humans get super horny.”
“That will make staying at the in-laws awkward,” Josh joked.
Nathan chuckled. “For sure. So what do you say? You wanna go check out Aruba? We might never get another chance.”
The echo of finality in his statement was like a shock to Josh’s system.
Sunday is only three days away….
Nathan’s face was alight with happiness as he ate several french fries, his gaze never wavering from Josh’s face. “We could go to this beach with flamingos and go snorkeling?”
Josh pushed his worries away and smiled at Nathan. “Sure, that sounds awesome.”
Chapter Sixteen
“DID YOU sleep with him too?” Josh whispered as they climbed the gangway back onto the Pride.
“Who?” Nathan wanted to know.
“Cameron, at the hotel.”
