play.”
“Nice.”
He reaches down and gently squeezes my sack, and we both erupt into giggles. I look into his eyes. It’s funny … so much of our lives are spent coming up with tales of Kazala. I spend so much more time thinking about magic spells and swords and evil orcs than I ever do about homework or current events or whatever the hell we’re supposed to be thinking about. If there’s a story with no magic involved, it feels pretty boring.
But lying here naked with Jesse, our legs wrapped around each other, kissing and touching and feeling each other’s body heat …
… well …
… I’d say this is pretty magical.
As the sun set on Kazala that day, Dathiel found himself sitting once more beside his greatest and truest companion Hathor. They had been through so much together, and Dathiel knew they would face many more adventures side by side.
Hathor’s Claymore and Dathiel’s bow were laid out on the ground, intertwined like a pair of lovers resting on one another. Dathiel smiled.
“You fought so valiantly this day, my friend,” he said.
“As did you,” Hathor said softly. “You mastered the spell and saved us both.”
Dathiel looked into Hathor’s eyes, the tiny light of the fire flickering within them. He gently caressed Hathor’s fingers with his own. The human man looked down at their hands.
“Elvish skin is so soft,” he said. “The perfect bit of gentleness, after such a hard journey.”
He reached up and tenderly stroked Dathiel’s cheek, then slowly leaned forward and brushed his lips against the elf’s. The kiss was soft and sweet and beautiful, and Dathiel savored the taste of Hathor’s mouth.
The human man gently pulled away, and smiled widely. “And now we begin a new adventure,” he said.
The End
About the Author
Tim O’Leary is a writer for TheBacklot.com, and first gained attention (which, really, is all he wants) by writing a very revealing and comical look at his dating woes in the column SGM Seeks LTR in NYC, which he originally wrote under the pseudonym JT Riley.
This led to him writing the weekly advice column on sex and relationships, Ask O’Leary, in which he hopefully gives some decent advice in between the utter deluge of genital-related jokes.
Tim is also a playwright and screenwriter. In June of 2014, the Screen Actors Guild produced a staged reading of his television pilot, Wolf Island, an action-horror-comedy script about pool-party-loving werewolves on a sun-drenched tropical island. Seriously.
For two years, he taught playwriting at the Harvey Milk High School, a school in New York City that is a haven of LGBTQIA teenagers.
He recently completed his first novel, a young adult contemporary fantasy titled The Dream Seer, which features Adrian (the main character of Conjuring the Shroud) as a supporting character.
