If you boys need a reminder of the Tsantsibon setting for this serial you can check the scene-setting post โThe Aquamages of Tsantsibonโ; while to head back to the very first scene in this serial, read โA Barberโs Destinyโ. Today, the apprentice Parad is sent to represent the Metons in a neighbouring state, accompanied by Orouan, one of the most powerful of all the Aquamages. Thatโs him above and I donโt know about you but the vibe seems pretty Alpha.

The eastern sky bleeds crimson as I secure the final bundle of night-blooming frostflame to the wooden sled. Dawn in Annamakt arrives like a sword cutting through darkness, swift and merciless. Around me, the delegation bustles with purpose - water bearers filling the massive leather reservoirs, apprentices checking the bindings on plant specimens destined for distant lands, Orouan standing tall amidst it all, his golden hair catching the first rays of sunlight. His presence commands attention without effort, his voice carrying across the loading area with the natural authority of one who bends elements to his will.
"Tighter, Parad," he calls, noticing my work without seeming to look directly at it. "Those plants won't survive the journey if they shift with every dune we cross."
I nod, retying the bindings with greater tension, my fingers working the rope with the precision I once reserved for the most delicate seedlings. Three months into my apprenticeship, and still his attention sends a flush of heat across my skin - part pride, part something deeper I dare not name.
The ground trembles beneath my feet, a rhythmic vibration that announces their arrival before I see them. Cheyun's camels - though calling these magnificent beasts by the same name as their smaller cousins seems an insult to their grandeur. They round the corner of the eastern cliff face, and as always, their appearance steals my breath.
Three times the size of normal camels, their massive frames block out the rising sun as they approach in perfect formation. Their fur - thick, luxurious, the color of burnished copper - sways with each deliberate step. Most remarkable are their eyes - large, liquid, impossibly intelligent. They regard us not as masters but as partners in this venture, their gazes assessing our preparations with what can only be described as critical interest.
Cheyun walks beside the lead beast, his hand resting casually on its foreleg - a limb thicker than my torso. His dark skin gleams in the morning light, his pink and silver robes immaculate despite the red dust that coats everything in Tsantsibon within moments of exposure.
"Beautiful morning for a journey," he calls, his white teeth flashing in a smile that transforms his serious face. "My friends are eager to begin."
Orouan strides forward to greet him, the two men clasping forearms in the traditional manner of respected equals. "Your timing is perfect, as always," Orouan says. "The final specimens are secured. We leave as soon as the sleds are attached."
I watch with fascination as the camels kneel with surprising grace, allowing workers to secure the massive wooden sleds to their bodies. The harnesses are marvels of engineering - distributing weight perfectly across the animals' powerful frames, padded where leather meets fur. The sleds themselves are laden with our precious cargo: plants from the Gardens of Annamakt, each specimen carefully prepared for the journey, each representing months or years of cultivation.
My chest swells with unexpected emotion as I recognize specimens I've personally tended - the blue desert roses that bloom only under three full moons, the whispering palms whose fronds carry messages on the wind, the blood orchids whose nectar can heal wounds that would otherwise prove fatal. Each plant contains magic of its own, different from yet complementary to the water magic I now study.
"Thinking of your gardens?" Orouan asks, suddenly beside me. His voice holds no mockery, only understanding.
"Yes," I admit. "It feels strange to be leaving them behind. As if I'm abandoning old friends."
He nods, his eyes - impossibly blue against his tanned skin - regarding me with unexpected warmth. "You never truly leave them. They become part of you, as all living things do when we truly connect with them." His hand squeezes my shoulder briefly. "Besides, you bring their knowledge with you. Your understanding of growing things will serve your water magic well."
The caravan forms with practiced efficiency - Cheyun's six massive camels in single file, each pulling a sled laden with plants, water, and supplies. Orouan takes his position at the head, his figure commanding despite the vastness of the desert that awaits us. I fall into place behind the second camel, not quite believing that I've been chosen for this journey, that my skills - still so raw, so untested - are deemed worthy of inclusion.
We depart as the sun clears the eastern cliffs, casting long shadows across the red sands that stretch to the horizon. From this vantage, the Gardens of Annamakt look impossible - a fever dream of green and blue amid the relentless crimson-gold landscape. Water falls from heights that should contain no source, feeding pools that shouldn't exist in such an arid realm. I feel a surge of pride knowing I once contributed to that impossibility, and now journey to extend its influence.
The procession makes a striking sight against the desert - giant beasts walking with stately grace, sleds filled with greenery sliding smoothly over sand, robed figures moving with purpose between the immensity of earth and sky. For a moment, I allow myself to see us as an outsider might - magical, mysterious, messengers of life traversing a realm of beautiful desolation.
We've traveled perhaps two hours, the sun now high enough to burn away any lingering coolness, when Orouan signals the first halt. He beckons me forward as the others begin checking harnesses and offering water to the camels.
"Watch," he commands, kneeling in the red sand.
His fingers move with practiced precision, drawing a pattern I recognize from my studies but have never seen performed - an irrigation rune, ancient and powerful. The lines he traces seem to sink into the earth of their own accord, the sand parting willingly for his touch. As he completes the final stroke, he places both palms flat against the center of the design.
"The secret lies not in the drawing," he explains, his voice taking on the cadence of formal instruction, "but in the intention behind it. Feel the water deep below - ancient, patient, waiting. Your call must be both command and invitation."
The sand beneath his hands begins to darken, moisture seeping upward as if drawn by an invisible force. Within moments, a perfect circle of dampened earth surrounds the rune, expanding outward in concentric rings.
"Now you try," he says, moving aside to give me space. "Remember - intention shapes result."
I kneel, my heart quickening with anticipation. My fingers trace the pattern carefully, mimicking his movements. The sand feels hot and insubstantial beneath my touch, nothing like the rich soil of the gardens I know so well. I complete the rune and place my palms against it as he did, closing my eyes to better sense what lies beneath.
At first, nothing happens. Then - a whisper of sensation, like the memory of water rather than its presence. I push deeper with my awareness, seeking the source he described. There - far below, a pocket of moisture trapped between layers of rock. I reach for it with my mind, with my magic, calling it upward.
The response is immediate but uneven. Sand darkens beneath my left hand but remains dry under my right. The moisture rises in a lopsided pattern, pooling awkwardly rather than spreading in the perfect circles Orouan created.
"Not bad," he says, and I hear genuine approval in his voice. "Your awareness is strong. Your control needs refinement."
We continue this pattern throughout the day's journey - traveling for a time, then stopping to practice. Orouan shows me how to enrich soil with minerals drawn from deeper layers, how to mark paths that will remain visible despite shifting sands, how to create small pockets of fertility that will expand with each rare rainfall.
My successes are inconsistent. Once, I manage to create a perfect small oasis - a depression filled with clear water, ringed by suddenly fertile soil where dormant seeds spring immediately to life. Orouan's nod of approval fills me with pride that outshines the desert heat.
An hour later, my spectacular failure draws laughter from the entire caravan. Attempting to replicate Orouan's technique for finding subterranean springs, I miscalculate both depth and pressure. The resulting geyser erupts with enough force to drench me completely, sending sand and water thirty feet into the air. I stand dumbfounded in the aftermath, water dripping from my sodden robes, red mud coating my face and hands.
Orouan approaches, his expression stern, but I catch the twitch at the corner of his mouth - amusement barely contained. "Perhaps," he says, his voice suspiciously even, "a bit less force next time."
Then he does something unexpected - reaches out to wipe a smear of mud from my cheek, his thumb lingering against my skin. "But impressive power, nonetheless. Better too much than too little. Control can be taught; raw ability cannot."
The simple touch, the casual praise - they affect me more than they should. I feel my magic respond, water droplets rising from my soaked clothing, hovering in the air between us momentarily before falling back. Orouan notices, his eyes narrowing with interest.
"Yes," he says softly, "very promising indeed."
We continue our journey as the sun begins its descent toward the western horizon, my failures and successes alike now part of the knowledge I carry forward. The red sands of Tsantsibon stretch endlessly before us, but I no longer see only barren waste. Now I sense the hidden life beneath, the potential waiting to be awakened by water and intention combined. My hands tingle with awareness of this new power, this new responsibility.
Tonight we will make camp, and tomorrow will bring more lessons. But already I feel changed - my connection to water deepening with each attempt, each failure, each small victory. I glance ahead at Orouan, his figure straight and proud against the setting sun, and wonder what other lessons await under his guidance.
Night descends upon the desert like a lover - slow at first, then all at once, consuming the landscape in darkness punctuated by stars that hang impossibly close. We've found shelter in a valley between two massive dunes, their curved slopes offering protection from the night winds that scour the open desert. The temperature drops with alarming speed as the last light fades, heat escaping into the vast emptiness above. I work quickly, helping Cheyun unharness the camels, my fingers still tingling with residual magic from the day's lessons.
"They like you," Cheyun observes, his voice carrying the melodic lilt common to the northern reaches of Tsantsibon. He strokes the neck of the lead camel, a beast so massive its kneeling form still towers above us. "They sense the water in you."
The camel turns its great head toward me, intelligent eyes reflecting starlight. Its breath warms my face as it exhales, the scent reminiscent of desert herbs and something else - something ancient and knowing. I reach up tentatively, placing my palm against its muzzle. The fur feels softer than it should, like velvet rather than the coarse hair of ordinary camels.
"How do you communicate with them?" I ask, watching as Cheyun removes the elaborate harness with practiced movements. "They seem to understand you perfectly."
He smiles, white teeth flashing in the gathering darkness. "The same way you communicate with your plants, I imagine. Respect. Attention. The knowledge that what appears simple to others often conceals great complexity." He pats the camel's flank affectionately. "These friends have carried the fate of Tsantsibon on their backs for generations. Their ancestors remember when the great waters receded, when the red sands first claimed our lands."
I absorb this wisdom silently, continuing to help with the evening's tasks. The camels arranged in a protective semicircle around our camp, we turn to other duties - unloading necessary supplies, checking the plant specimens for signs of stress from the journey, preparing the evening meal.
At the camp's perimeter, Orouan works alone, his concentration absolute. He moves in a wide circle around our position, his hands tracing complex patterns in the air. With each completed gesture, a shimmer appears briefly before fading into invisibilityโprotective wards taking shape under his command. I watch, transfixed, as he draws water from seemingly nowhere, creating barriers that will alert us to any approach, that will turn aside the desert's more dangerous inhabitants.
The precision of his movements speaks of years of practice, of power honed through countless repetitions. There is beauty in his discipline, in the economy of each gesture. Nothing wasted, nothing excessive. His magic works through water, yet contains the unwavering nature of stone - resolute, patient, enduring.
By the time he completes the protective circle, the others have kindled a small fire at the center of our camp. The flames cast shifting patterns across the sand, across our faces, turning the ordinary into something mysterious. We gather around this heart of warmth, passing simple food between us - flatbread, dried fruits, preserved meats spiced with herbs from the Gardens.
Conversation flows easily among the caravan members - tales of previous journeys, observations about the plants we transport, speculation about conditions in the eastern settlements. I participate minimally, my mind drifting back to Annamakt, to the Gardens, to Birardo. The thought of him brings an unexpected tightness to my chest.
"You're quiet tonight," Orouan observes, his voice cutting through my reverie. The fire illuminates his features from below, casting dramatic shadows that emphasize the sharp planes of his face.
"Just tired," I reply automatically, then hesitate. Something in his steady gaze invites honesty. "No, that's not entirely true. I was thinking of Birardo."
Interest flickers in Orouan's eyes. "Your friend who became an Aspirant."
"Yes." I poke at the fire with a stick, watching sparks rise toward the star-filled sky. "He's still my friend, but everything's different now. I'm learning to be a Meton while he serves us." The words taste bitter, unexpected in their intensity. "We worked side by side in the Gardens for years. Shared everything. Now we pass each other with formal nods, as if those years meant nothing."
Across the fire, Cheyun rises quietly, signaling the other caravan members to give us privacy. They drift away to their sleeping rolls, leaving Orouan and me alone with the flames.
"Change always brings loss," Orouan says after a thoughtful silence. "The question is whether what's gained outweighs what's surrendered."
"And what have I gained that's worth losing my closest friend?" The question emerges more sharply than intended.
Rather than taking offense, Orouan leans forward, his expression serious. "Power, certainly. The ability to bring life to barren places. To sustain communities that would otherwise perish." His eyes reflect the dancing flames. "But more than that - purpose. A place in a lineage that stretches back to the founding of Tsantsibon itself."
He gestures toward the darkness beyond our circle of light. "Every oasis, every settlement, every patch of fertile ground in this desert exists because of our sacrifice. We spend our life force so that others might live. Is that not worth the price of changed friendships?"
Put so plainly, I cannot argue. Yet the ache remains. "I understand the importance of what we do. I've believed in it since I was first tested. But understanding doesn't make the loss any easier to bear."
"No," Orouan agrees, his voice softening. "It doesn't. Which is why we never walk this path alone."
He moves around the fire to sit beside me, close enough that our shoulders nearly touch. Heat radiates from his body, distinct from the fire's warmth. "The path of a Meton is never walked in isolation," he continues. "We lose some connections, yes, but gain others equally profound. New friends to be made - including, of course, myself."
His hand settles on my shoulder, the touch casual yet deliberate. His fingers press lightly against my skin, thumb finding the hollow where neck meets collarbone. "Bonds between Metons run deeper than ordinary friendship. We understand each other's sacrifices, share each other's burdens."
The firelight catches the intensity in his eyes as he speaks, turning the blue to molten gold. His fingers linger on my skin, a touch that speaks of something beyond mentorship. My breath catches, heart suddenly racing beneath my ribs. Heat rises to my face that has nothing to do with the nearby flames.
"I don't understand," I say, though part of me does - a primal, instinctive part that responds to the weight of his gaze, to the deliberate nature of his touch.
"I think you do," he replies, his voice dropping lower, intimate in the night's silence. "Life burns briefly for those who wield water magic. We age as we work, trading years for power. This knowledge lends urgency to our connections, strips away pretence and hesitation."
His fingers trace a line from my shoulder to my jawline, tilting my face toward his. "Why waste precious time denying what we both feel?"
My body responds before my mind can process his words - pulse quickening, skin flushing with heat that spreads across my chest, up my neck, to my face. His touch feels right, inevitable. My lips part slightly, drawing breath that suddenly seems insufficient.
"I've watched you today," Orouan continues, his thumb brushing lightly across my lower lip. "Your determination. Your power, still raw but genuine. The way you connect with water speaks of a rare sensitivity."
His eyes hold mine, searching for response, for permission to continue. "Would you explore a different kind of connection tonight? One that might ease the loneliness of your chosen path?"
The question hangs between us, weighted with possibility. Beyond our circle of firelight, the desert stretches vast and empty, a reminder of how small we are beneath the infinite sky. Yet here, in this moment, nothing exists but his proximity, the heat of his skin near mine, the invitation in his eyes.
My answer forms not in words but in movement - slight at first, a leaning toward him that could be dismissed as accident if unwelcome. But Orouan reads my intention clearly, his hand sliding to cup the back of my neck, drawing me closer with gentle insistence.
"Yes," I whisper, the word barely audible above the soft crackle of the fire. "Show me."
His smile transforms his face, softening the severe lines, revealing a warmth I hadn't glimpsed before. "Come," he says, rising in a fluid motion and extending his hand to me. "The night grows cold, and our tent offers better shelter for what I wish to teach you."
I take his offered hand, allowing him to pull me to my feet. As we move away from the fire toward the largest tent at the camp's center, I feel as if I'm stepping across some invisible threshold - leaving behind not just the warmth of the flames but something of my former self. What awaits on the other side of that tent flap remains unknown, yet I move toward it willingly, drawn by curiosity, by loneliness, by the magnetic pull of Orouan's certainty.
Behind us, the fire burns lower, its light dimming against the vast darkness of the desert night. Ahead, the tent glows from within, a beacon of warmth in the gathering cold.
The tent's interior defies expectation - an oasis of luxury amid the desert's austerity. Lanterns hang from the central pole, their flames contained within polished glass that scatters soft golden light across the space. Rugs woven in complex patterns of blue and gold cover the sand floor, their pile deep enough to sink into with each step. Against one wall, a bed of sorts has been arranged - plush cushions covered in silk, furs from northern beasts spread atop them, inviting rest or other pleasures. The air inside carries the scent of cedar and something sweeter - incense burning in a small brazier, its smoke curling in lazy spirals toward the tent's peaked ceiling.
I stand just inside the entrance, momentarily overwhelmed by this unexpected splendor. Outside, the desert night grows increasingly cold, but in here, warmth embraces like a physical touch. Orouan moves to the center of the space, watching me with that same intensity I noticed by the fire. His hands rise to the fastening of his outer robe, fingers working the complex knot with practiced ease.
"A Meton travels in comfort," he says, noting my surprise at our surroundings. "The body is our instrument. It must be maintained, cared for... indulged, when circumstances allow."
The robe falls open, revealing the simpler garment beneath. This too he removes with deliberate movements, never rushing, his eyes holding mine throughout. The final layer slides from his shoulders, and I catch my breath at the sight of him.
His body testifies to years of discipline - broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist, muscles defined without excess, skin bronzed as if permanently touched by sun. A dusting of golden hair covers his chest, thickening as it descends in a line down his stomach before disappearing beneath the waistband of his final garment. He is beautiful in the way of statues carved by master craftsmen - proportions perfect, every line suggesting power held in precise control.
"You've shown great promise today," he says, his voice dropping to a husky whisper as he approaches me. "Let me show you another kind of connection."
His hands rise to my face, cupping my jaw with surprising gentleness. "Water magic flows through pathways in the body," he continues, his thumbs tracing my cheekbones. "Pleasure opens those channels, allows power to flow more freely."
He leans forward, his lips brushing mine - testing, questioning. I respond instantly, pressing forward, eliminating the hesitation between us. The contact sends a current through my body not unlike the sensation of drawing water from deep earth, a pulling from center that radiates outward. His mouth is warm, tasting faintly of spices from our evening meal and something else, something distinctly his own.
His hands move to the fastenings of my robes, deftly undoing knots I struggle with myself. "Your body remembers what your mind has yet to learn," he murmurs against my lips. "Trust its wisdom."
Layers fall away beneath his skilled fingers until I stand before him in only the lightest undergarment. I should feel exposed, vulnerable, but instead find myself expanding into his attention, my skin sensitizing to the air, to his proximity, to possibility.
"Beautiful," he says, stepping back to look at me properly. "The raw material is excellent. We will craft something extraordinary from it."
He guides me toward the cushioned area, his hands never leaving my body for long. When we reach it, he turns me to face him once more, his fingers tracing patterns across my chest that echo the irrigation runes he taught me in the desert. Everywhere he touches, heat blooms beneath my skin, a response beyond ordinary sensation.
"Your magic responds to mine," he observes, watching as moisture beads on my skin where his fingers have passed. "A promising sign."
He removes his final garment, revealing himself completely. His arousal is evident, impressive in its proportion, unashamed in its display. I follow his example, shedding my remaining covering, allowing him to see my own response to his touch, his presence.
We come together on the cushions, bodies pressing from chest to thigh, skin against skin with nothing to separate sensation. His kisses deepen, becoming more demanding, his tongue exploring my mouth with the same precision he brings to magical workings. I respond eagerly, my hands learning the terrain of his body - the smooth planes of his back, the hardness of muscle beneath warm skin, the textures that change as I venture lower.
"Yes," he encourages as my fingers wrap around him, testing his weight, his heat. "Just so."
His own hands are not idle, mapping my body with deliberate attention to detail. He finds places I didn't know could produce such pleasure โ a spot behind my ear that makes me gasp when gently bitten, the hollow of my hip that sends lightning up my spine when pressed, the exact pressure that transforms ordinary touch to extraordinary sensation.
Our bodies align naturally, finding complementary angles, creating friction that builds heat between us. His weight settles partially atop me, his greater size and strength evident but never threatening. There is something profoundly right about his solid presence, about the way our limbs entangle with increasing urgency.
"We need not be alone in this," he says suddenly, his voice roughened by desire. He raises his head, calling toward the tent entrance without fully separating from me. "Cheyun! Join us, if you wish."
The tent flap stirs, admitting a brief rush of cold desert air before falling closed again. Cheyun stands silhouetted against the entrance, his powerful frame unmistakable even in dim light. He remains there, watching silently as Orouan's hands continue their exploration of my body.
"Come, friend," Orouan says, beckoning. "Share in our pleasure."
Cheyun approaches slowly, his movements carrying the same deliberate grace he shows with his beloved camels. He disrobes as he comes, revealing a body different from Orouan's but equally impressive - dark skin stretched over powerful muscle, broader through chest and shoulders, a body built for enduring strength rather than quick agility.
"He is lovely," Cheyun says, his voice carrying that musical northern lilt even when hushed with appreciation. "You choose well, as always."
Cheyun kneels beside the cushions, his hand hovering above my chest, seeking permission. I nod, unable to form words but certain in my desire to experience this new dimension. His palm settles against my sternum, warm and slightly calloused, the touch of a man accustomed to physical labor despite his elevated status.
What follows transcends ordinary experience - three bodies moving together in configurations that shift and evolve as desire dictates. Orouan remains the center, the authority, directing our pleasure with the same confident precision he brings to magic. Under his guidance, we explore combinations I've never imagined, sensations that blur the boundaries between bodies and selves.
Cheyun's mouth is different from Orouan's - fuller lips, more yielding pressure, equally skilled but with a different emphasis. His hands are stronger, their grip more secure when he positions me between them. They work in tandem, these two men, communicating with glances and subtle gestures born of previous shared intimacies.
"Take him," Orouan instructs Cheyun at one point, arranging my body to receive this new connection. "While I use his mouth."
The sensation of fullness, of connection at both ends, overwhelms ordinary thought. I become pure sensation, pure response, a conduit through which pleasure flows like water finding its natural course. Sweat slickens our bodies, turning skin to silk, eliminating resistance. The scent of our exertions fills the tent, primal and intoxicating, mingling with the sweeter notes of incense.
Orouan whispers instruction throughout, his voice never losing its authoritative edge despite his own mounting pleasure. "Yes, like that... deeper... feel how the body opens when approached with proper technique... the same principles apply to water and flesh alike..."
His words become part of the experience, guiding not just our physical movements but my understanding of what transpires between us. This is not mere coupling but another form of magic - bodies connecting, energy transferring, power flowing through channels opened by pleasure.
Cheyunโs cock is large, blunt at the tip, a forceful presence that never leaves me once deep inside. He builds speed gradually, and at first I struggle to appreciate his rhythm, fail to understand the relentless building of speed; until suddenly the pistoning of his hips is driving me forward and he is fucking not only his own cock into me but ensuring Orouanโs cock too is deep inside. Deep inside a throat stretched to rawness around the mageโs golden cock. They co-ordinate, making sure that with every thrust my holes are as full as possible, fucking me to a point where, I know, I would struggle to stand. My arms and thighs feel weak, and they have fucked me to a place I have never been. I collapse away from Orouanโs crotch, but in a second he lies beneath me, his cock positioned once more at my lips. And I can take its base in my hands and guide it as I wish, my tongue slathering its entire length, dropping down to savor each ball on my tongue, allowing my spit to drip from the lilac head of him, and down along the golden flesh. I feel Cheyunโs fingers inside me, spreading the pulsing hole wider; and I sense at last he is inside completely. And he is ready. They are both ready. Co-ordinating with signs above my back they prepare to flood my body with their cum.
My own release, when it comes, arrives with the force of desert flash floods - sudden, overwhelming, transformative. Cheyun is first, his powerful body tensing against my back, his cry resonant in the enclosed space. The pulsing heat of his climax triggers my own, pleasure cresting and breaking in waves that seem endless. Orouan follows moments later, his control maintained even in surrender, his hands gripping my shoulders with bruising intensity as he finds completion.
We collapse together on the silk cushions, limbs entangled, breath gradually slowing. Orouan arranges us with casual authority - Cheyun on one side of me, himself on the other, our bodies forming a living barrier against the desert cold that cannot penetrate this sanctuary of warmth and satiation.
"The body remembers what the mind forgets," Orouan murmurs against my temple, his arm heavy across my chest. "This connection will strengthen your magic, open channels that might otherwise remain closed."
On my other side, Cheyun makes a sound of sleepy agreement, his large hand splayed possessively across my hip. "The ancestors knew this wisdom," he adds, his voice thick with approaching sleep. "Power flows more freely through bodies that know pleasure."
I lie between them, suspended in the aftermath of revelation. My body hums with residual pleasure, with new awareness of its capabilities, its responses. Beyond our tent, the desert night grows increasingly cold, stars wheeling in their ancient patterns above red dunes that have witnessed countless such encounters throughout the long history of Tsantsibon.
Tomorrow we will continue our journey, resume our official duties - Orouan the respected Meton, Cheyun the camel master, myself the apprentice still learning basic techniques. But something fundamental has shifted between us, a new layer of connection established that will inform all future interactions.
And yet this is only the first of our nightโs games. Orouan licks Cheyunโs cum from my ass, and drips it into my mouth, and slicks it along his own rapidly growing cock. In words of endless seduction and encouragement he draws me to him, and I crouch down above him. Gentle hands take mine and together we guide his cock inside me, and I believe I am full, until the probing of Cheyunโs fingers tell me that I am not. And the heat of the man burns me, hot as he crouches over me and presses the blunt head of his shaft at my spasming hole, huge in his weight and his force as the cockhead stretches me to an impossible width. The two cocks slide in an ever hotter friction against each other, and my chute wraps tight around them both, and my sweat drips and splashes down onto Orouanโs chest. Cheyun reaches round to slide fingers into my mouth, and he croons reassurance into my ear until I am silent, and their relentless determined fucking can proceed in a still and intense place of purest concentration.
I close my eyes, surrendering to the warmth of bodies pressed against mine, to the profound contentment that follows complete abandonment to sensation. This too is magic, I realize - the power of bodies joining, of boundaries temporarily dissolved, of connection forged through shared vulnerability. Different from water magic, yet complementary to it. Another path to understanding the fundamental forces that shape our world.
I shoot onto Orouanโs beautiful body, cum pooling into his navel.
My body is theirs, until dawn. I cannot remember or describe the amount of times they have used me. I crave more and more and more. Two beautiful cocks in my hands. Two beautiful fountains of cum on my lips, two cocks growing once more beneath the delicate slip-slide of my fingers, two men smiling in delight as I kiss them once more into my mouth.
In the last moments before sleep finally claims me, I feel Orouan's lips press against my forehead - a gesture unexpectedly tender from one so commanding. "Rest," he whispers. "Tomorrow brings new lessons, new connections, new power."
I drift into dreams filled with water and light, with bodies moving like currents beneath the surface, with the certainty that I have found another kind of home in this most unexpected of places.
A subscriber sent me the most rewarding note of his reaction to my stories this past weekend and I share it because it creates the most beautiful image. He wrote: โGreat to have found you, and listening to your erotic stories as I drive across France heading south. Boner all the way, buddyโ. I just couldnโt be happier to learn of that reaction because of course as a writer of erotic fiction, the ability to provoke you guys into a totally turned on state with my work is exactly what I want to do. Let me know if I succeed, wonโt you?
With love

Would love to have been in that tent!
Beautiful imagery. The way you have pressed magic into the spiritual is truly amazing. Transcending bones into the ether.
