“Sorry.” Dominic instinctively knew that defending himself was pointless. Even though Evrain had no right to reprimand him, he found his body responding to the curt tone. Evrain stood and approached him. He moved with sinuous grace, a wild animal stalking its prey.

“I don’t like to be kept waiting.”

Dominic took a nervous step backward, then another until the door halted his retreat. He froze as Evrain moved closer.

“You’ve been a big problem for me today, Dominic. I’ve been…distracted. I couldn’t settle to any of the jobs I needed to do because I kept slipping into daydreams about all the things I would like to do to you instead.”

Dominic swallowed and pressed against the solid wood behind him.

“The question is, will you let me?” Evrain seemed to be talking to himself as much as to Dominic.

“I suspect there may have been bad experiences in your past. I’m pretty sure you’re a virgin, but you seem to be sending the right signals.

It’s not in me to pretend to be something I’m not, I’ll just have to make it clear what I want from you and see what reaction I can provoke. ”

Dominic’s mouth was as dry as dust. His cock rose, pressing hard against his zipper. He felt for the door handle.

“Trying to run away again?” Evrain reached forward and stroked Dominic’s face with a finger. “I think we need to break that habit, don’t you?”

He grabbed Dominic’s wrists and pushed them roughly back against the wood at shoulder height, muttering under his breath as he did. The grain shifted and the wood seemed to bulge outward, growing two small branches that twisted around Dominic’s wrists then rooted themselves back into the door.

Dominic gasped. His head jerked from side to side as his mind attempted to assimilate what had happened. Evrain stood back and admired his handiwork, ignoring Dominic’s futile attempts to get free.

“Stop struggling. It’s a pointless waste of energy,” Evrain snapped.

“How did you…? My God, it’s true, isn’t it? You really are a warlock.”

“Ten out of ten for observation. Isn’t that what I’ve been trying to convince you of? What Agatha told you? Perhaps this demonstration will finally get you to admit that there are things in this world that defy explanation.”

“Let me go, Evrain.” Dominic pulled against his wooden bonds until his wrists ached.

“You’ll have bruises. I like the idea of my marks on you.” Evrain ran one finger along the inside of Dominic’s waistband and undid the button. “Did you do what I asked and decide on a safeword?”

“Stop!” Dominic twisted his hips.

“You see, that’s why you need the safeword. I know you don’t really want me to stop. With a safeword you can protest all you like but I’ll just keep going. Use your safeword and everything ends. Immediately.”

Dominic panted, his breath coming in rapid gasps. He couldn’t get enough air into his lungs. “Salem! My safeword is Salem,” he managed to get the word out.

“Oh, very droll.” Evrain slowly pulled down Dominic’s zipper. His cock sprang free. “You naughty boy. Going commando! I like it.” Evrain raised one eyebrow and grinned as Dominic moaned in embarrassment.

“I didn’t have any clean underwear with me to put on this morning. I don’t tend to keep fresh shorts in my pocket, okay?” The cool air on his overheated flesh was torment. Dominic jerked his pelvis, seeking contact.

“I can’t believe you’re worried about that, considering the position you find yourself in. Though this”—Evrain gripped Dominic’s rigid shaft firmly—“seems to suggest you rather enjoy being restrained.”

Dominic thrust into Evrain’s hand. He couldn’t deny how turned on he was, it was patently obvious. When Evrain took his hand away, Dominic wanted to cry from frustration.

“Please…” He wasn’t too proud to beg.

“Don’t worry, I’m not done with you yet.” Evrain’s eyes gleamed. He grasped Dominic’s pants and yanked them down to his ankles. “That’s better.”

He slid his hand up and down Dominic’s dick until pre-cum slicked the head. When Evrain dropped to his knees, Dominic forgot how to breathe. He became capable of nothing more than needy moans and whimpers.

Evrain took a long, protracted lick. He swiped his tongue from the bulbous head of Dominic’s cock all the way to the root.

“Fuck!” Dominic’s thighs tensed and he pushed his ass away from the door as Evrain took him into his mouth and compressed his lips.

With one hand, Evrain fondled Dominic’s balls, then he pushed a finger between Dominic’s ass cheeks and probed at his entrance, all the time lathing Dominic’s dick with a hot tongue.

When Evrain pulled away, Dominic sobbed. From his position on the floor, Evrain glanced up. “Would you like me to stop?”

“Please…”

“It’s the last thing I want to do. Stop that is. You taste amazing, earthy and sweet at the same time.”

Dominic shook his head frantically, he couldn’t articulate what he wanted but he was desperate for Evrain to continue.

He had a magical tongue, literally, though outside Dominic’s strange bonds there was no hint of any spells at work.

Dominic had never thought that being dominated this way would be such a turn-on, but despite being bound he felt less restrained than he ever had. He gave up all control.

“God, please…”

“My wish is your command.” Evrain continued to suck and lap at him.

“Coming!” Dominic stuttered.

Evrain released him, and Dominic almost screamed.

Evrain cocked his head to one side. “Well, just this once, I’ll let you come without permission.

But you need to understand that these are mine now.

” He took hold of Dominic’s balls and gave them a firm squeeze.

“So is this.” He flicked the head of Dominic’s cock with the tip of his tongue.

“You’ll only come when I allow it from now on. ”

At that moment, Dominic would have agreed to anything. He nodded. “Yes, yes… Please don’t stop.”

Evrain got back to work, sucking hard. Dominic thrust his groin forward but Evrain allowed him no control, he held all the power even on his knees.

That thought pushed Dominic over the edge.

His orgasm overcame him in a rush of heat and intense pleasure.

Evrain didn’t pull away. In fact he smiled as he swallowed everything that Dominic shot into his throat, then licked his lips.

Dominic sagged in his bonds. The wood around his wrists was the only thing keeping him upright.

“You are stunning like this, shocked by your own ecstasy.” Evrain stood. He took Dominic’s softening cock in his palm as if testing the weight. “Mine now. Don’t forget.”

He made a slight gesture with his free hand and the door reverted to its normal state.

Dominic sagged against it. The gentle kiss that Evrain pressed to his lips was almost as shocking as the magic Dominic had witnessed.

Evrain took a step back. Dominic gathered enough sense to pull up his pants.

He massaged his wrists, rubbing at the soreness.

Evrain gave him a contemplative look that had him fidgeting anxiously.

“I think you are going to enjoy being spellbound.” Evrain smiled a wicked, knowing smile. “And as Grandmother continually reminded me, I do need to get plenty of practice.”

Dominic ducked his head. Just the thought of what ‘spellbound’ could mean was enough to have his dick straining to rise again. He had a feeling that it was going to be an enjoyably arduous afternoon.
