“You sucked me dry.” I spin him so his head’s on my chest.
He throws a leg over my thigh, claiming me. I can’t help pulling him in closer. Most of the time, I just want to run to the next partner, but Gabe makes me want to stay. Want to talk. Want to know him even more.
“Whatwasyour first experience with anal?” I’m too curious not to ask.
He rubs his head against me and circles one of my nipples. “Painful. Not enough lube. We’d been making out every day after school. Little bit of frotting, hand jobs, blow jobs. He wanted togo to the next step, and I’d agreed, but I’m not sure I was ready, you know?”
“I don’t, but go on.” I kiss the top of his head.
“We both brought condoms. He didn’t want to bottom, and I was curious, so again I agreed. He slipped on a condom and just… tried to ram it in.”
I still his wily hand. “No. Fuck. That’s horrible. No prep or anything?”
“Not even a make out sesh. He just wanted to go at it. There was a lot of shouting. Eventually, I relaxed, and he finished, but we never made out again after that.”
“He’s a jerk.”
“He was. But he was hot.” Gabe giggles. “The next couple of guys were much the same until college. Most of the guys said I was too femme to top. Who the hell says that?”
“Humans are such assholes, and that’s me saying that.” Because I’m the ultimate asshole.
“By the time I graduated high school, I was ready to experiment with chicks, too. And tits are truly delightful.”
I snort and pull him closer. “You’re full of so many surprises.”
He shrugs. “I like trying new things.”
“Speaking of. Let’s talk magic.”
“I might be too tired now.” He yawns, but there’s a smile in his eyes.
“It won’t take long. Magic is… easy. Like breathing air. It’s something you don’t need to think too hard about. That’s why the humans never get it right in their silly little forums or whatever.”
“But I’ve gotten it to work with those techniques.”
“And you’ve had how many blow outs because of it?” I rub a hand down his back when he tenses. “Let go of all those ridiculous teachings. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes and just follow my voice.”
He nods and settles in closer. “Ready.”
“What kind of magic do you have?”
“Dunno really. I can probably fly, but I’ve never tried.”
“You’ve never tried flying?” It’s one of the best feelings in the world.
Gabe pushes to his elbows to look me in the eye. “Wherewould I be able to fly where humans won’t be able to see me?”
“You’re in Hex now, angel. So everywhere.”
He nibbles his bottom lip and dips back into my chest. “Right. Forgot.”
“So probably flying. That’s an entirely different type of magic. But what else can you do?”
“I can do some random things, like I got you mostly in my apartment with magic before I needed Pike’s help. Mostly, I bend things to my will, but you saw the fall out when I try too hard.”
“And I’m saying the effort should be effortless, just a thought.”
“It’s really that easy?” He whispers.
