Magic and the Pagan

Evan Bartholomew lives life as a gay pagan with a deep interest in magic. Not wise choices in the small town where he resides. When he comes across a book of magic in an old bookstore, he fantasizes about the portrait of a man within its pages.

The first time Evan attempts one of the spells in the book, he finds himself in a world he never knew existed, completely clueless. A world of demons, magic, a queen who wants to kill him, a king who lusts after him, and the man of his fantasies, Aidan Loriel.

 

Enjoy the following excerpt for Magic and the Pagan:

A dark hunger radiated in the mage’s eyes as he stalked toward the bed. He stopped briefly at the foot of it, his gaze gliding over Evan before he sank down and crawled on his hands and knees. With only the lightest touch from the mage, Evan spread his legs. Aidan leaned down and started at Evan’s thigh, right above his knee. With every upward inch, Aidan placed another soft kiss to the inside of Evan’s leg.

Whatever remained of the nervousness evaporated and a deeper tingling radiated through Evan. He needed this. Gods, he needed this—needed this man more than he thought was safe. Every kiss, every touch Aidan made was pure, torturous pleasure, and it was all Evan could do to hold on and pray he wouldn’t combust from the inside out before they even got started.

When he reached Evan’s cock, Aidan took it in his hand and slid the tip of his tongue slowly up the shaft. Evan’s breath caught and he dug his fingers into the bed. Aidan moved back down and licked softly over Evan’s balls, sucking first one and then the other gently into his mouth, and Evan nearly died—or at least that’s what it felt like. He’d never felt anything remotely so good, and dear gods, the mage wasn’t even inside him yet. Aidan stroked his hand up and down Evan’s cock as his tongue drifted back up the shaft. Then he licked the flared head before closing his lips around it.

Evan’s hips jerked upward of their own accord, the heat of Aidan’s mouth pure bliss. When Aidan’s mouth closed around him, Evan damn near forgot to fucking breathe. He tangled his fingers in the mage’s long hair and the exquisite texture slid over his skin, much like those lips moving over his shaft.

Aidan swallowed and relaxed his throat as Evan’s cock slid in to the root. Then the mage moaned softly, creating a steady vibration Evan felt from his head to his toes. Oh, gods… Aidan’s other hand slid under Evan’s ass, squeezing it gently as one finger teased at Evan’s hole.

“Aidan.” Evan spread his legs even more, the urge to push onto that finger threatening to overwhelm him.

More…please, Aidan, more… Evan moaned and began to writhe, head tossing from side to side as Aidan’s lips moved up and down his shaft, the mage stopping long enough to suck the tip before swallowing him down again. Fire. That’s what Aidan’s mouth felt like: silken fire. Evan arched and Aidan groaned, and the whole damn world exploded behind Evan’s eyelids. He shouted Aidan’s name, tears pricking his eyes as the pleasure slammed into him with enough force to leave him breathless. Aidan swallowed, then pulled slowly off of Evan’s cock. He sucked a finger into his mouth as he spread Evan’s legs farther apart. Teasing Evan’s hole, he gently pushed his finger inside. “Push back against it.”

Evan felt positively boneless, but gods, he wanted to feel Aidan and not just a finger. He bore down, a soft moan escaping him. “Aidan…more…”

Aidan rose and added a second finger and spread them both apart. Evan gasped, eyes wide as he stared at the mage. Aidan’s gaze smoldered, and Evan’s breath left him. He rocked his hips downward and groaned. “Now, Aidan. Oh, gods, please…now.”

After a moment, Aidan withdrew his fingers and stretched his body over Evan’s. A small jar suddenly appeared near Aidan’s hand, hovering in mid air and Evan couldn’t help but think such powers would be beyond awesome. He chewed on his bottom lip as Aidan dipped his fingers in the liquid then coated himself with it. Propping himself on one hand, Aidan positioned his cock at Evan’s entrance. As he slowly pushed inside, he caught Evan’s mouth in a kiss.

Oh, sweet… Evan’s moan filled the kiss and he wrapped his arms and legs around Aidan, desperately trying to get the man closer, deeper. Aidan filled him until Evan was aware of nothing but the mage and the sensations coursing through him.

“Relax around me,” Aidan murmured against Evan’s lips. “I won’t hurt you, Evan, and I won’t move until you’re ready.” After he buried himself slowly in Evan’s body, Aidan stilled. The touch of his hand along Evan’s side sent a warm current through him, helping him to relax.

Evan drew his head back to rest on the pillow. A slow tremor ran through him as he inhaled deeply. Pain and pleasure edged at his senses with the fullness of Aidan’s cock inside him.

Aidan stroked his fingers over Evan’s cheek and smiled down at him. He cupped Evan’s face and brushed their lips together. “So warm and tight.” His tongue snaked out to lick at Evan’s lips. “Slick…hot.” More energy flowed into Evan from Aidan’s light kiss, and Aidan shifted.

Evan just wanted more. He threaded his fingers through the mage’s hair, combing through it, letting the strands fall over them as he whispered, “Fuck me until I can’t see straight, Aidan. I want to feel it all.”

Aidan groaned low and started moving his hips, his cock stroking in and out of Evan’s ass in long, easy thrusts. Keeping his weight off of Evan’s chest, he gripped Evan’s hip with the other hand, pulling Evan up with every thrust.

The slower rhythm made it easier for Evan to follow and he soon found his own demanding pace. With the friction inside him building, he stared up into Aidan’s eyes. A soft whisper escaped him almost like a prayer, “Sweet Cernunnos, I’m lost in you.”

“Aye,” Aidan murmured. With every stroke inside Evan, Aidan rotated his hips, grinding their bodies together in time to their rhythm. “Come for me. When you are ready, do not hold back.” His fingers dug into Evan’s hip as he pulled Evan up to meet his increasing thrusts, pushing deeper. Releasing his grip, Aidan wrapped his fingers around Evan’s cock and began stroking.

Evan needed release from the strengthening tension created by each motion in him and on him. The racing of his heart echoed Aidan’s as he kept his eyes tightly closed, lost in the feeling. A rising moan took over before he started to shake. It was too much. His back bowed and he cried out, lost in pleasure he’d never known before. It filled his entire being, leaving him dazed and breathless.

“Yes,” Aidan purred. Seconds later a deep growl erupted from Aidan, and he buried himself in Evan as his cock pulsed with his release. Evan’s name fell from his lips in a whispered benediction with every tremor.

Evan held on, aware of Aidan’s orgasm as it filled him. His eyes flew open to watch the play of pleasure over the mage’s face. Aidan chanted Evan’s name, and the sound burned into his mind. He relaxed slowly beneath Aidan, far too aware of the warmth blossoming somewhere deep inside him. Aidan kissed him softly and pulled out. He rolled onto his side, pulling Evan to him. “I wish…” His words trailed off as if he was unsure of what he wanted to say.

Evan burrowed against him, closing his eyes again. “Don’t talk, Aidan. It’s not necessary.” The words were muffled against the mage’s chest.

Laughing softly, Aidan kissed Evan’s hair. “Aye,” he whispered. “Sleep. And know that I’m here.”

Somewhere in his heart, Evan understood this was only temporary, and the knowledge hurt.
