I established a rhythm, my hips rolling against him, one hand gripping his hip while the other reached around to stroke his neglected cock. The dual stimulation had him writhing beneath me, pushing back against my thrusts, wanting more.
“Faster,” he begged, his voice thick with pleasure. “Please, Neptune.”
I obliged, picking up the pace, driving into him with more force. The sound of skin against skin filled the room, punctuated by our heavy breathing and occasional moans. I could feel myself getting close, the tight heat of him threatening to push me over the edge too soon.
“You feel amazing,” I groaned, my fingers digging into his hip. “Such a good boy taking my cock like this.”
He responded with incoherent sounds of pleasure, his body trembling as I continued to hit that spot inside him with each thrust. I could tell he was close too, his cock pulsing in my hand as I stroked him in time with my movements.
“I want you to cum for me,” I urged, tightening my grip slightly. “Cum for me, Theo.”
My words triggered something in Theo. He cried out, his entire body shuddering as he came hard across my fingers and onto the sheets below. The sight of him coming undone, combined with the rhythmic clenching around my cock, sent me hurtling toward my own climax. I gripped his hips with both hands now, driving into him with abandon as pleasure built at the base of my spine.
“Fuck, I’m gonna cum,” I growled, my movements becoming erratic as I chased my release.
When it hit, it was like being swept away by a tidal wave. I buried myself deep inside him, my body tensing as I filled the condom. For a moment, the world seemed to blur around the edges, nothing existing except the pulsing pleasure and Theo’s warm body beneath mine.
As we both came down from our high, I carefully pulled out, tying off the condom and tossing it into the trash beside my bed. Theo collapsed onto his side, his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath. I lay down next to him, reaching out to brush a strand of hair that had fallen across his mask.
“You okay?” I asked, suddenly concerned that I might have been too rough for his first time.
He nodded, a lazy smile spreading across his face. “Better than okay. That was... probably the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
I felt a surge of pride at his words. “Good. I wanted it to be special for you.”
Why had I said that? This was supposed to be just another hookup, another body to warm my bed for a night before we went our separate ways. But something about Theo made me want to be...gentle?Caring? It was unsettling.
“Can I...” he began hesitantly, “can I stay for a while? I know this is just a one-night thing, but I don’t think I can walk straight yet.”
I laughed, the tension in my chest easing slightly. “Of course you can stay for a bit,” I heard myself say for the first time. I wasn’t a ‘cuddle after sex’kind of person. But with Theo, I found myself not wanting to let go just yet. “I’d like that.”
I pulled him closer, wrapping an arm around his waist as he nestled against my chest. His breathing slowly evened out, becoming deeper and more rhythmic. Was he falling asleep? I should probably wake him, send him on his way before things got complicated. That’s what I always did.
But I didn’t. Instead, I found myself studying what little I could see of his face behind the golden mask. His lips were slightly swollen from our kisses, his skin flushed with the afterglow of sex. He looked peaceful, content in a way that made that strange flutter return to my chest.
“Who are you, Theo?” I whispered, not expecting an answer.
He stirred slightly, murmuring something unintelligible before settling back against me. I sighed, closing my eyes and allowing myself to enjoy the warmth of another body against mine. Just for a little while, I told myself. Just until he woke up.
But the enchanted punch and the exertion of the evening were taking their toll on me as well. Despite my best intentions, I felt myself drifting off, lulled by Theo’s steady breathing and the comforting weight of his body against mine.
My last thought before sleep claimed me was that I should have asked for his real name, for a chance to see him again outside of this magical night. But that would have broken all my rules, wouldn’t it? No attachments, no feelings, no risk of love that could turn me to seafoam.
Still, as consciousness slipped away, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something about Theo was different. Something that made me want to break all my carefully constructed barriers.
And that terrified me more than any curse ever could.
Chapter 11
Teddy
The bed was warm and unfamiliar as I slowly roused from my sleep. I’d been dreaming about something sexy, though I couldn’t quite remember the details. They slipped away from me almost the moment I realized I was no longer sleeping. However, the pleasant ache in my ass remained. And there was something else there too, something I didn’t recognize.
I shifted slightly, feeling the hard warmth pressed between my cheeks. With a jolt I realized it was a cock and suddenly my memories of the Halloween party the night before came flooding back to me. I remembered sucking Neptune off at the fountain and him returning the favor. I remembered dancing, our bodies pressed so close that we were practically inside one another. And I remembered how I’d let him take my virginity, fucking me for the first time in his dorm room bed.
And that must’ve been where I was now.
I’d meant to merely rest for a few moments before leaving. But as I cracked one eye open, I realized I’d slept there nearly the entire night and my heart began to race. Outside the window I could just see the first hints of pinks before dawn. Mymask, somehow, was still magically attached to my face. And Neptune’s soft snores told me he was still fast asleep.
