Echoes of the Past

Chapter 4

David’s pale skin contrasted nicely with the bubblegum-pink gown he was wearing. His red hair was pulled back in a tight chignon and he wore an amulet around his neck with a deep purple stone in its center. It seemed to glow softly as Eric watched him from across the room. The candlelight danced off his skin and gave it a soft glow.

“You going to stand so far away all night?” David asked with a smirk in a small husky voice Eric never heard before.

“Just admiring the view.” But Eric felt his body drawn to his beautiful friend and his legs complied, moving toward the smaller man in a slow and easy gait.

When he reached the redhead he stood before him in awe. David was more beautiful than any girl he’d ever seen … and he was still wearing clothes, too. Sexy clothes. Eric reached down and gently folded back the skirt of the gown to reveal David’s long legs … clad in dark stockings. Not pantyhose, like most modern women wore, but stockings fastened to a garter that wound around David’s hips. His pink pumps matched the gown and Eric was pleased that they only had a two-inch heel. He thought it was sexy as hell that David was smaller than he was.

“You dressed especially for me?” he asked the small man, his voice deepening an octave or two on its own to match his growing arousal.

“Just for you,” David laughed. “I figured you would only touch me if I looked like a girl.”

“Whatever gave you that idea?”

“All the big-chested women you date?” the redhead shrugged. “And their friends you kept trying to force on me.”

Eric’s face twisted sheepishly. “That was just a ploy for the rest of the world,” he sighed, noting that as he and David got closer, the amulet glowed brighter. “So they would finally leave us the fuck alone!”

“They are getting tiresome, aren’t they?” David scowled. He touched the amulet he wore briefly and it hummed. “Do you want me to get rid of them all?”

“They’re still our family, despite their bullshit,” Eric smiled. “Besides, you never were an evil sorcerer, love.”

“After what my bitch sister pulled in the last few lifetimes, I could be,” David replied. “Do you really think this diminutive size will keep her away? She almost recognized me, you know.”

“She didn’t. She was just asserting her bitch side … as usual. Besides, she’ll never guess who I am, so I’ll always have the element of surprise on my side.”

“But would you use it?” David asked warily. “After all this time together, would you choose me … or to fulfill your ‘obligation’ to her?”

“I have no obligation to her,” Eric sighed. “You broke her spell when you took me from her.”

“And you forgive me?”

Eric reached out and touched David’s elf-like face with his fingertips. “I not only forgive you, I love you more for it. You saw through her evil plans and saved me from them. As long as I stay with you she has no power.”

David moved his cheek into Eric’s hand with a soft sigh. “If only we could remember this in our waking hours,” he lamented. “All we need to do is consummate our bond in the real world just once, and she’ll be destroyed.”

“I know,” Eric replied. “And I want so much to remember so that I can touch you. The magic be damned, I don’t really want to save the world … just us.”

“Me too. The rest would just be a by-product of that”

Not able to help himself anymore, Eric pulled his friend and soul mate against him and kissed him hungrily. David responded in kind and soon their tongues were battling for control, but each was willing to give the other his time to explore the willing mouth attached to him … to taste the love and desire burning in them. Soon, kisses were no longer enough. Eric slowly moved David back to the bed, which had been calling to them from the corner of the room. He laid the redhead down upon it and looked down at him in satisfaction. David’s lips were swollen with his kisses and his chest rose and fell quickly with the deep breaths he took. Deep because Eric had intentionally kissed him breathless.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look more beautiful,” he said as he covered the redhead’s small body with his own larger one.

“In all of our incarnations, you like this one the best?”

“In each one you become more precious to me,” Eric smiled. “And I have to confess, I like the illusion of me being the one to protect you for a change.”

“Silly man,” David giggled. “You have more power than you realize.”

He reached up then and pulled Eric’s mouth back down to his own, effectively cutting off further questioning. The dark-haired man gave in easily to the desire building between them and quickly lost himself in the familiar dance. He lapped and laved every area on David’s body, relishing the slow teasing way he removed the pink gown, corset and stockings. David had also been wearing white lacy panties, which Eric removed with his teeth. Looking down at the delicious redheaded morsel beneath him, Eric smiled predatorily and let his hunger show in his eyes.

“You look like a wolf,” David pouted.

“I feel like one.”

“You want me to turn you into one?”

“Not tonight, love,” he laughed. “I want us to be who we really are when we spend this time together.”

“Okay,” David whispered.

Eric moved over him again and their mouths joined as their bodies moved rhythmically against each other. Eric was desperate to pull David’s hair from the tight chignon. As it came down he buried his fingers in it and pulled David as close to him as he could. The smaller man whimpered with need.

“Need … to … prepare you,” Eric gasped out.

“I’m a sorcerer,” David said and his blue eyes glowed in time with the amulet. “There! I’m prepared and you’re lubed. Get … inside of me … NOW!”

“Yes, sir,” Eric laughed as he lined himself up with David’s orifice and pushed inside.

“Oh, yeah,” David whispered with his eyes now closed in ecstasy. “Oh, fuck yeah!”

“Holy … shit!” Eric cried as David’s walls immediately clamped tightly around him like a vise.

“You’ll never get that feeling with a girl like Annie,” David winked up at him.

“Annie who?” Eric demanded as he began slamming into his lover at a fevered pace.

“Harder!” the redhead demanded.

“Your wish is my command,” Eric chuckled.

And he picked up the tempo, wrapping a large hand around David’s member and pumping it in time. They moved in unison for long moments, the exertion bringing a sweaty sheen to their skin.

“You’re … using your spells … to delay … our climaxes … again,” Eric accused David with a wry smile.

“Makes … it … that much … better … when we cum,” the redhead replied with a smirk.

Eric couldn’t deny that. The buildup was exquisitely pleasurable and painful all at once, causing him to arch his back at time. He directed his aim so that he hit David’s prostate with each stroke and was rewarded with whimpers and moans, as well as sharp little scratches to his back.

“You love it,” he hissed to David. “You love what I do to you. Admit it!”

“I always admit it,” the sorcerer retorted. “You’re the one dating females.”

“They only make me hungrier for you!”

The sharp stroked eroded David’s concentration and Eric knew his hold over the spell controlling their orgasms was slipping. Determined to completely obliterate it, he angled his next thrust to hit home just as he pumped hard on David’s cock, and it worked. The redhead erupted into a molten hot white stream and his walls sucked Eric’s own shaft like a lollipop. He felt his own orgasm take over and he threw his head back and screamed.

----------------------------

Eric awoke with a start, screaming David’s name into the dark room and feeling the sharp pain of scratches on his back. He was still shuddering from the painful orgasm he’d just had and the sheets were wet and cold with his sweat and seed. He looked himself over in horror as he recalled every detail of the dream. 'Fuck you, psychic bitch!' But his heart refused to curse the woman even as his mind demanded it. This had to be her fault! He’d never had a problem before he went to see her.

He shut his eyes tightly and tried to erase the memory of his best friend lying sweaty and hot beneath him, begging and demanding that Eric fuck him harder. Damn, but the guy had looked beautiful! Eric felt his mind finally obey his heart’s command to replay the dream, and found himself soon shaking with arousal again. As he shivered and whimpered in the messy sheets he begged the dream to stop … but it wouldn’t. He sucked in a breath and bit down hard on his lower lip to keep from screaming out as he found himself cumming again with a vengeance.
