The Boyfriend Cruise

by Deanna Wadsworth

  And the song had been perfect.

  “I never thought anyone would love me enough or understand me enough to do that,” Josh quietly admitted.

  “If you let me, I’ll make you feel that way every day,” Nathan promised. “But can I ask you a question, Josh?”

  “Sure.”

  “Maybe this is moot since I asked you to marry me and you said yes, and I have hundreds of witnesses, so I won’t let you get out of it, but are you sure you’re okay with me being a demon?”

  “Yes,” Josh insisted quickly. “I mean, it’s awesome and weird all at the same time, but that’s not what I needed to think about.”

  Nathan stared at him in shock. “It’s not?”

  “No. I was worrying about you giving all this up.” He made a grand sweeping gesture. “A magical ship, other paranormal people like you. I don’t want to give up my family, so how can I ask you to give up yours? And more importantly, why would you be willing to give that up for me? How could someone like you love me? What if you regretted giving all this up for me, but you were stuck, bonded to me the rest of your life? How is that fair to you? Or to me? All of those things were bouncing around in my head, and I just couldn’t come up with the answers. Not until Dad told me about Mom’s dining room table.”

  “Dining room table?”

  Josh shook his head. “It’s not important. What’s important is that I trust you. Yes, you’re part demon, but I’m not afraid of you. I completely trust you. And you must trust me because you weren’t going to let the captain wipe my mind about all this paranormal stuff. So if I trust you, then that means I have to believe you when you say you love me. Even if there’s risk and uncertainty. I like having a plan, I don’t like surprises, but everything about you has been a surprise. Even how much I love you. So if we love and trust each other, then all the complicated stuff will just figure itself out.”

  Nathan was quiet after Josh’s monologue for so long, Josh began to worry. He was leaning against the rail, both arms crossed over his chest. Then he pushed off the rail and his shining eyes captured Josh’s gaze. “So you weren’t worried about me being part incubus?”

  “No.”

  “You just didn’t want me to give up my friends and family? And you thought you didn’t deserve me?”

  “Yes.”

  In two steps, Nathan stood in front of him, grabbing Josh into a fierce hug. “I didn’t think I could love you more than I already did.”

  Josh quickly hugged him back.

  “You’re not afraid of what I am,” Nathan murmured against his neck. “You were only worried about me.”

  “Of course I was! I love you, but I don’t want you to regret giving up anything for me.”

  Nathan drew back, eyes glistening with tears. “I thought you were rejecting me because I’m part demon.”

  Josh brushed Nathan’s face. “Are you kidding? That’s one of the coolest things about you. I still can’t understand, out of all the men you could have, why you chose me.”

  “Because you’re cute when you blush, you love your family, you make me laugh. And you accept everything about me. But most of all, you understand me.” Nathan started walking Josh backward toward the giant bed. He nuzzled Josh’s neck, inhaling so deeply that Josh shivered. “I love you, and I want to be with you forever. I want to give you everything.”

  “I love you too,” Josh said, cupping Nathan’s face and kissing him.

  The passion roared to life and they were yanking at jackets, popping buttons, and pulling at belts. They only ceased their fervent kissing to pull shirts over their heads, desperate to be close and connected once more.

  “Right now, I want to be inside you,” Nathan whispered between kisses.

  “I want that too,” Josh insisted, but then he paused, and their eyes met. “Are you going to bond to me?”

  “Do you want that?”

  “Do you?” he countered. “I mean, you’ll never be able to be with anyone but me. What if…?” Somehow he managed to get the words out, though his voice cracked. “What if I’m too boring for you after a while?”

  Nathan licked and rolled both lips but kept his hands on Josh’s bare shoulders. “Don’t ever think that. If I was fully human and married you, I wouldn’t sleep with anyone else anyways, right? What’s the difference?”

  “That’s different than magically being unable to do so.”

  “Love and magic are very intertwined. It’s my love for you that tamed the demon. It only wants you. I only want you. Demon or human, I love you, Josh Gilbert, with all my heart, soul, and magic. So will you bond with me?”

  Josh smiled, all his worries washing away. He tapped his chin play-thoughtfully. “Let me get this straight. My sexy demon fiancé loves me so much that he won’t ever have sex with anyone else? And if I let him come inside me, then I’ll be forced to have amazing sex with him forever?”

  “In a nutshell.”

  “Well, that’s even more fucking romantic than that song.” Confidently, Josh pushed Nathan back until he sat on the rose-petal-covered bed, gazing up at Josh. Then he straddled Nathan’s lap and pressed their foreheads together. “I’m finished with all this talking. Let’s start forever right now.”

  Chapter Nineteen

  JOSH’S HUNGER and aggression made Nathan’s demon roar in triumph. He struggled and tugged on Josh’s remaining clothing, desperate for them both to be naked.

  When Nathan hatched the scheme to serenade and propose to Josh, he hadn’t known what to expect. After talking to Dr. Gilbert and Darrius, he’d been confident that he and Josh were not over. Though he had feared Josh was nervous about being bonded to a demon, after Dr. Gilbert told Nathan that Josh loved him, he’d been willing to take the risk on a grand proposal. To learn that Josh had simply felt insecure and worried about Nathan losing his paranormal family blew his mind.

  Josh trusting him as an incubus was the headiest aphrodisiac he’d ever experienced.

  With Josh straddling his lap, grinding and kissing, Nathan couldn’t get enough of him. He grabbed Josh’s hips and thrust up.

  Josh moaned and wound his fingers tight in Nathan’s hair.

  “Pull my hair,” Nathan told him in a growl. “You can’t hurt me.”

  When Josh kissed him next, he pulled on Nathan’s hair, as requested.

  Nathan let out a shuddery gasp. He could feel his magic rising in ebbs and flows. He had control over it, but he didn’t want to keep it reined in. Tonight he wanted to let go and give his demon what it needed.

  What Nathan needed.

  Josh.

  Josh climbed off his lap and shoved his pants and underwear down. While Josh yanked off his socks, Nathan did the same, then shimmied out of his clothing. As he folded down the covers, the scent of roses and sea air filled the suite with an intoxicating aroma. He crawled toward the nightstand, where a large bottle of lube sat. For a moment, Nathan wondered if another para had set all this up, or if the Pride had taken it upon herself to prepare this romantic suite for them.

  “Do we need condoms?” Josh asked.

  “Nope, we sure don’t. Perks of being with a para.”

  The grin on Josh’s face was raw with hunger. “Awesome.”

  Nathan popped open the bottle and squirted some into his hand, then slathered his dick. He was eager to release the power building up inside him and ravenous for the energy Josh’s orgasm would give him.

  “Your eyes are glowing,” Josh whispered.

  “Are you afraid?” he panted.

  “Nope. I’m gonna ride you,” Josh declared, surprising Nathan when he pushed him onto his back.

  “Are you sure?”

  Josh gave him a cocky smile. “I can take it. I may not have been with a man, but I have toys, ya know? Big ones.”

  “Fuck, that’s hot.” Nathan shifted to the middle of the bed so Josh could straddle him and they’d have plenty of room.

  Less predatory and more eager, Josh crawled across the bed and straddled Nathan’
s lap, their hard cocks close.

  Nathan gripped their shafts, and the lube let his hand glide easily.

  Josh’s head fell back as Nathan stroked them. Josh’s desire was so potent, so all-consuming, Nathan let out a feral groan as the intensity washed over him, waking his demon fully.

  A moment before Nathan would have flipped Josh over, Josh pulled out of his hold on their cocks. He reached for the lube and rose up on his knees. Nathan watched, enraptured, as Josh squirted some into his hand and then pressed it into his hole, all the while his gaze never leaving Nathan’s face.

  Nathan took ahold of Josh’s hips and used his fingers to stretch his asscheeks open farther. Josh moaned and pushed more lube inside himself. Then he tossed the bottle to the side and dove down to kiss Nathan with a hunger that just might match Nathan’s own.

  Nathan’s slick cock slid across Josh’s fiery organ, and they writhed together, gasping for air between kisses. Nathan could taste the desperation of Josh’s arousal, but there was something else there now. A new fragrance, a new sensation.

  Magic.

  Nathan stilled and put his hand on Josh’s face. “I can feel your magic.”

  “My magic?”

  “Yes, it’s not much, but you have it. That’s how you felt the heat on the ornaments.” Red flashed in Nathan’s vision, his sudden need to feed off Josh’s magic like a bolt of lightning. “I’m so hungry,” he said, voice guttural and deep. “I need your magic… I need your fucking orgasm.”

  Rather than be frightened by Nathan’s demon hunger, Josh gave him a challenging grin. “Then how about we get your dick in my ass and make that happen?”

  Nathan took ahold of his aching prick, and Josh reached behind him to aim it at his asshole. Nathan held still, resisting the desire to thrust up hard and fast. He didn’t want to hurt him.

  Josh’s ring was hot and tight, and Nathan took deep breaths, forcing himself to let Josh control how much he could take. Josh moved up and down slowly, gasping and clenching. Nathan held the base of his cock as pulses of need crashed over him. He soaked it all in, fighting his instinct to thrust.

  Then with a strangled cry, Josh let his body drop all the way down, pinning Nathan’s hand between them.

  “Fuck!” Nathan shouted, body convulsing, hips jerking. On Josh’s next upstroke, Nathan freed his hand and grabbed Josh’s hips, body shaking as Josh slowly rolled his hips and finally began to ride Nathan’s cock faster.

  “Unh, unh,” Josh grunted each time he lifted up and slid back down. “You’re so… warm.”

  Nathan gazed up in awe at the raw abandon on Josh’s face, his passion charging the very air around them with the electric energy of sex magic. As Josh picked up speed, his hard cock slapped Nathan’s belly, leaving a streak of wet behind. Nathan gazed at where their bodies met and at the steady stream of precum trailing from the tip of Josh’s hard dick. He caught that string of precum and lifted it to his lips, savoring the magic of sex, the taste of love.

  Bouncing harder now, Josh leaned forward and their eyes met.

  There were no more secrets. No more conversations to have and no more doubt.

  Pulses of desire and arousal throbbed off Josh, and every beat of his heart amped up Nathan’s hunger, increasing his need.

  Nathan began to thrust, meeting Josh’s passion and matching his movements. Nathan used his feet and legs for leverage, and Josh moaned for more. They were both so desperate, they lost their rhythm, Josh moving faster than Nathan’s thrusts, riding him in a wild frenzy. He was crying out, gasping and whimpering, his passion all-consuming.

  Those must be some toys Josh had at home.

  The image of Josh, alone in his bed, riding a dildo, jerking his cock, the sounds he’d make, the look on his face because no one was around, flashed through Nathan’s mind. His demon growled, jealous of every orgasm Josh had spent without Nathan.

  Well, no more.

  They were all his.

  “Don’t hold back,” Nathan whispered under Josh’s passionate assault. “Show me how hard you fuck your ass when you’re alone. Lemme see the secret Josh. The one no one else has ever seen.”

  Mouth gaped, lips red, Josh looked at him. Then he stilled, one hand gripping Nathan’s chest, the other his own cock. Never looking away, he rose up, then dropped back down, grimacing as he ground his hips, bouncing a little. The passion and intensity in his gaze, the torn-open intimacy made Nathan gasp. With tiny grunts, Josh jerked his cock in time to his grinding bounces.

  “That’s how I do it,” Josh whispered. Then he rose up again and fell down, hips pulsing in more short jabs, hand wetly running along his shaft. When he pulled on his own balls and cried out, Nathan trembled.

  Watching Josh was electric. Nathan held on to Josh’s hips as Josh took his pleasure from Nathan’s body, but soon it wasn’t enough. Nathan pushed himself up to sit and used his demon strength to flip Josh onto his back, his cock driving deeper, hitting that spot deep inside Josh to send him over the edge.

  “Fuck!” Josh screamed, grabbing Nathan’s shoulders.

  Nathan felt the powerful surge of magic pulse beneath Josh’s skin. His own body throbbed in response, aching, his balls pulling up tight. Nathan’s belly was coated in Josh’s precum, their torsos pressed close. Josh’s cock slid back and forth over their bellies as Nathan thrust up and into Josh, both meeting in that place of passion, lust, and magic.

  “I’m gonna—” Josh grunted a second before the power of his orgasm hit Nathan. Spunk sprayed Nathan’s chest as shock waves of magic and pleasure pounded into his body.

  “Josh!” Nathan cried out, and his vision went red, black on the edges as he absorbed the power. As he soaked in that magic, he’d never experienced anything so pure and clean. With a roar, he thrust one last time and emptied his load, filling Josh with power and spunk.

  The sounds Josh made were somewhere between a sob and a scream as he held on to Nathan’s shoulders, legs tight about his waist, riding out the tidal wave of magic and euphoria, the powerful exchange hitting them both at the same time.

  Every amplified sensation Nathan experienced during sex, every tingle of pleasure throughout his skin and body, Josh now felt it too. Josh convulsed beneath Nathan as cum continued to spurt out of his dick, slicking their skin with magic and passion.

  But still it didn’t stop.

  Josh’s entire body shook, and he gripped Nathan so tight, he surely left bruises behind as orgasm after orgasm tore through him, his cock drenching Nathan with waves of cum.

  Buried deep inside, Nathan held them both still as the throbbing magic worked through their bodies, dancing around them, inside them, uniting them for life.

  And then the silence came.

  The euphoric sensation of floating on a cloud or underwater surrounded Nathan. His soul was at rest, his mind at peace. He was aware of nothing but Josh wrapped around him, beneath him, warm skin against his own.

  And Josh’s powerful gift of magic that fed Nathan’s heart and his very soul.

  Slowly Nathan could breathe again, and his ears began to hear sound. Then his mind came back to the present.

  Josh’s legs dropped to the side, and Nathan shifted his weight so he wouldn’t be too heavy on him, but he didn’t pull out. Josh’s breaths were short and ragged on Nathan’s neck.

  “That was…,” Josh muttered. “I don’t know… but I’m….”

  “Shhh,” Nathan cooed, stroking his cheek, down his arm, understanding the intensity of an incubus orgasm and how much it took from Josh. The traces of magic he possessed were tingling bright on the surface, his aura glowing. But to a nonmagic user, the sensation was so raw, and Nathan could see it had left Josh utterly spent.

  Nathan, on the other hand, felt full of life, energy, and love. No orgasm before could compare with the strength and power true love brought to the table.

  And to think, they would have a lifetime of this.

  Smiling, Nathan kissed Josh. “I love you so much.”

&nb
sp; “I love you forever.”

  “MERRY CHRISTMAS,” Josh whispered in Nathan’s ear.

  Nathan purred in his sleep and rolled over to pull Josh against his naked body.

  When Josh had gotten up to pee, he’d realized it was 3:00 a.m. Christmas morning. The Caribbean breeze and the sound of the ocean splashing against the hull filled the room. The cruise ship was quiet except for the hum of the engines, all of the activities and bars long since shut down.

  “Merry Christmas, fiancé,” Nathan said, his white teeth gleaming in the dark. The magical candles had twinkled out as they slept, the stars and moonlight their only source of light now.

  Josh nuzzled into Nathan’s chest. His skin was soft where Josh had painted him with cum. Josh had never made so much cum, or had an orgasm last that long. It was like he’d had seven or eight orgasms, hitting him in continuous waves of rapture. And Josh’s body had felt like he’d come that many times when it was over.

  No wonder incubus sex burned so many calories!

  “You think we should get out of bed and wash off?” Josh whispered, the prospect of soaping up his demon stirring his cock.

  Nathan shook his head. “I don’t want to move. I just want to stay like this.” He hugged Josh closer.

  Josh tickled the soft hairs on his belly. “But we’re both covered in cum.”

  “I know. I want your cum on me.”

  “That’s kinda gross,” he said, giggling.

  Nathan raised his head and looked down his chest at Josh. “Nothing about sex is gross,” he said very seriously. “Every stage is vital for me. From the scent of your skin when you start to get aroused, to your kisses, and especially when you come. But it doesn’t end there. Every drop of sweat, cum, and spit is imbued with the magic I need to live.”

  Shifting onto his belly, Josh laced his fingers under his chin on Nathan’s chest and studied him. “So when does the magic in my cum wear off so we can shower together?”

  Nathan chuckled, his body vibrating beneath Josh. “You don’t think cum is gross. You just want to shower together.”
