down, I saw his eyes roll back as if he could feel what I was feeling.
Everything seemed to be moving around me like I was floating through a galaxy of comets and smears of light. Kole’s apartment was far away, and it was just us in this place. I was inside of his mouth, feeling the warmth of his tongue exploring the length of my cock, and I was so close to coming. Any effort I made to hold on became the most difficult thing in the world—I could hardly keep my head straight, and suddenly I was gasping for breath and moaning that I was about to come. I heard Kole moan, too, before the ringing in my ears covered everything else and my climax hit me like a fucking train. My cock throbbed and throbbed, my balls emptying the biggest finish I’d probably ever had. And as I continued stroking Kole, I felt his cock pulse at the same time as mine, and the warm gush of his come on my palm.
All I could do was lie there, gasping for breath, the thrums of pleasure continuing to drown out all other thoughts. I was slowly coming back to reality from the spectral realm, and my senses were returning to their usual levels. The stars cleared and left me staring up at the leaves of Kole’s house plants. He was lying next to me, breathing just as hard, and he looked over at me with wide eyes like he couldn’t believe what had just happened.
I was worried he was going to move away from me and regret what we’d just done, but instead, he said, “May I hug you?”
“You may,” I said with a laugh, and he snuggled up to me. “That’s...not how a reading normally goes, right?”
“No!” he said. “I don’t know what happened. That’s never happened to me before. I drew us towards the spectral realm, and then all of sudden it was like… it was like…”
“It was like something had taken over us?”
“Yes.”
“It was like I could feel everything you were feeling,” I said.
“A reading binds our energy together. It’s how I’m able to bring you to the spectral realm. I’ve always had a strong ability to do that, but it’s never manifested like this before. I’ve never done anything like that before. But it felt so natural. Like, I needed to do it.”
“This might come as a surprise, but I’ve kinda had a thing for you,” I said, smiling at him. “I hope that’s alright.”
He did look surprised, and I wondered if Kole had been thinking about me like how I’d been thinking about him. He thought it over for a moment and then smiled back at me. “Yes, that’s alright. I like you, too. It’s important that you know about the vow I took, though.”
After cleaning himself up, Kole got dressed and fetched a towel for me. He blew out the candles and incense and turned the lights on before going to the kitchen to boil water. I lounged on the floor, my head still a little woozy from a combination of the incense and what we’d just done. When he returned with tea, he sat back down across from me and explained everything about why he hadn’t been in a relationship before.
“So, that was really the first time you’ve ever done anything like that?” I asked.
“The very first.”
“And it’s okay?”
He sipped his tea and said, “I think it’s fine. We’re attracted to each other, but it doesn’t mean we’re in a relationship.” He smiled.
“No,” I said, feeling a thump of disappointment. “That’s right, we aren’t. There’s no reason we need to take it any further than this.”
He nodded, and I said, “So…would it be alright if we continued? Not a relationship, but…since we both were wanting that, and I like spending time with you.”
Kole thought it over. “Yes, I think I would enjoy that.”
He picked up his glasses from where he’d left them and pushed them onto his nose. Then he sat down next to me. I was still in a bit of shock—in a good way—and I could tell he was feeling the same, too. What we’d just done…neither of us could’ve honestly expected it to happen.
I looked at the time on my phone and was startled to see almost two hours had passed, even though it’d only felt like at most thirty minutes from when we’d started. “Shit,” I said, standing up. “I need to get going.”
Kole nodded. “Time can be
