reason, his eyes intense and cold. Then again, the disguise was perfect

considering Josh was his crush—before he met Adrian, of course.

Seemed Adrian coming to Hans’ rescue during the fire foiled the dark

magician’s plans. A hunch he would soon have confirmed, no doubt.

The next words out of the magician’s mouth proved his thoughts.

“So glad you found your coven, Hans. I have tried to get you to be a

part of mine, but I have underestimated your own lure, your own

attraction when it came to getting that fireman. I started the fire to get

you to run to me—disguised as your little crush Josh, of course—as I

was sure you would have been blamed and you would have needed

someone who understood. But no, you worked your magic and got

yourself someone who could have proven your innocence. Now, I’m

going to have to give you one last chance, Hans. Join me now or die

by my hand.”

Adrian got up, as quick as any man could physically do

considering he’d just been fucked good and hard. “Who the fuck are

you? And why the hell are you in my home?”

“I am Gareth,” In that moment, the magician’s true features were

revealed. No longer did the handsome form of Josh greet Hans’ eyes.

Instead, a man, old, crusty and wrinkled and about as ugly as a stewed

pig, morphed into existence, “magician of the fires of hell itself. And

you, Adrian and Hans, have been chosen by me to join my cause. To

be a part of my coven because your magic, the magic of fire, will

enhance mine, making me more powerful than any other magician

who has ever lived.”

“And if we refuse, you’ll do what?” Hans blurted, coming to hold

his man, an action which was twofold, to stop him from doing

anything foolish, and to let him know he would protect him, no matter

what. “I know magic, too. I can defend myself against the likes of

you, dark magician.”

“My patience is wearing thin… join me now or watch your lover

be killed before I dispose of you as well.”

“Fuck off!” Adrian barked.

“If you don’t join me, I will do this!”

“Go ahead. Do your worse,” Hans said, standing firm,

determination and the need to protect Adrian overwhelming him. He

stood in front of his lover.

“Have it your way. Prepare yourselves for your own deaths then.”

The lights in the room flickered. In an instant, everything ignited. All

of Adrian’s beautiful things were ablaze within a heartbeat.

Adrian bolted forward, screaming out something incoherent.

Unfortunately for Hans, too much went on too quickly for him to

make sure he could prove effective in stopping the intruding

magician. Aside from the fact he was naked, the other magician had

levitated Adrian, slamming him against the ceiling, over and over.

Hans had to concentrate.

He summoned up all the strength his could muster, a strength

enhanced by the love Adrian gave him moment’s ago. In his mind’s

eye, he imagined Adrian being released from the dark magician’s

clutches, thinking of how he would be placed out of harm’s way. Of

course, when a magician thinks such things, it becomes a reality.

Adrian was indeed pulled out of the other magician’s hold.

“Ah, you are powerful. Pity my timing was off, giving you the

chance to obstruct me at every turn. If I had caught you before you

consummated and cemented your coven, I would have had an easier

time converting you both. Never mind. I will still achieve my goal.

You can’t maintain your magic for as long as I can, you haven’t had a

coven that long, dear boy.”

“Don’t call me boy,” Hans said with such anger he saw red.

Forces within him stirred. Forces which had to be released, especially

when he glanced over to Adrian. His lover was unconscious, the

bashing against the ceiling doing more damage than Hans would like

to admit. His back was covered in bloody scratches.

The dark magician cast another spell, a fireball aimed directly at

Hans. He managed to dodge the energy in the nick of time.

Thankfully, he could retaliate straight away, his power available, built

up enough to utilize in an effective manner.

Hans imagined his enemy being flung out the window.

A scream of disbelief echoed over the roar of flames all around

Hans. The dark magician left with no choice but to cling onto the

window sill Hans had opened only moments before with his magic.

Desperation struck Gareth’s expression, a sight which pleased Hans.

“I’m more powerful than you think, and you know why?”

Don’t Read in the Closet – volume four 31

Surprise soon replaced that desperation. “Why?”

“Because my Adrian has accomplished something I haven’t been

able to do with any other man up until this point in my life,” he began.

“He has made it possible for me to be what I want, a man who loves

to be joined with other men in the most intimate way possible. He has

completed me.” With those words, Hans slammed down the sliding

part of the window onto the dark magician’s fingers. With another

scream, this one from pain, he let go of the window sill. A fatal

mistake. Gareth was magically flung away to a far off land, having no

choice but to submit to Hans’ magic. “That’s for Josh,” Hans spat.

A beam from the ceiling crashed down around him, ablaze and

deadly. In that moment Hans knew what he had to do. He had to get

Adrian out. Much to his chagrin, he couldn’t use magic. He was spent.

The power within him subsided for the here and now. Battling with

the dark magician had drained any benefit Adrian had given him

during their love making.

Hans cursed himself. He should have saved some magic for after

the battle. His Master would be disappointed in him. Strategy just as

important as attack and defence.

A moan knocked Hans from his thoughts.

“Adrian!” he screamed, rushing over to his man. He looked

terrible, the beating he received must have done more than create a

few nasty cuts across his back. “I’ve got to get you out of here.”

Adrian didn’t reply, not while Hans tried with all his might to pull

his lover up from off the floor. A task easier to talk about than do.

Adrian was a dead weight. Sure, muscles and height was an advantage

when it came to courting, but to lug such a massive frame out of an

apartment about to be burned to a cinder was another matter.

After Hans struggled for a few moments, unable to accomplish

anything but put strain on his own body, Adrian finally said, “Fight

fire with fire, handsome. Create a break we can get through.”

Don’t Read in the Closet – volume four 32

“But I can’t carry you, Adrian, even if I could do as you’ve said.

Besides, how the hell do I create a fire break? I don’t have any fire-

fighting equipment.”

“Yes you do.”

“Say what?”

“Come here. Let me get you worked up. That’ll get you sprouting

fire in no time, especially when I get my lips around your tasty dick.”

Hans paused to think for a moment. “Sure, that might work, but it

still leaves the problem of me not being able to carry you, doesn’t it?”

“As I understand it, my loving will give you power. Right?”

“Yes—oh, wait, I see. If you get me to cum, not only will you get

me off so I can burn us a path out of here, you’ll add to my magical

powers as well. I could then cast a spell and levitate you to safely.

You’re a genius, Adrian. A genius.” Hans kissed his lover, square on

his forehead and with all the relief he could muster.

“Hey, were not out of here yet. Now, get that tasty foreskinned

cock of yours over to my mouth. I’ve got some work to do if we’re

going to get out of here alive, that’s for damn sure. I just hope I can

get you off real quick, my apartment’s going to be an inferno in a

matter of minutes and fire break or not, we’ll be trapped.”

Hans obeyed, coming so he was seated as safely as he could

considering the room about him was being consumed by flames, and

Adrian could suck him off without too much bother. Then again, the

second part wasn’t a problem. Even the thought of his man sucking

him off got him hard. He just hoped he didn’t burn his tongue on his

pre-cum. He would hate to have his lover’s mouth and lips out of

commission for too long.

Adrian was fantastic, working his hand along his length, urging

him to hardness in a matter of seconds. He even kissed his foreskin to

add to the sensation. Hans was rock hard, balls as hot as the room

itself in a heartbeat.

Don’t Read in the Closet – volume four 33

Soon, he was in raptures of ecstasy, the feeling of climax seeping

though his body. His man worked his lips and tongue along his cock,

heaps of saliva and enthusiasm added into the mix. Hans jumped

when something fell onto the floor not too far away, but didn’t let

such a thing hinder what they were doing. Adrian kept at his mission,

making sure Hans didn’t go flaccid, encouraging him even more by

looking up at him, cock deep in his mouth, eyes so wonderful. He

even rubbed his stomach, gently and with care. Nice touch.

“I’m gonna cum!” Hans said with both relief and joy.

Adrian came away, pushing him so he was turned, facing the only

exit. A great wad of fiery lava-like cum burst out of Hans’s piss slit.

He moved forward as he came. Another spurt, another move forward.

By the time he was spent, he had indeed created the fire break they

needed to get out of the building, his cum burning a path so the real

fire which threatened them couldn’t be fuelled where they needed to

tread. He had orgasmed just in time.

“Now cast your spell, handsome,” Adrian bellowed, struggling up

to his feet.

Hans could feel the power within him rise up. The power Adrian

had given him while he sucked on his cock. The feeling was

enlightening, empowering, wonderful. He closed his eye lids,

imagining his man floating across the room, following the path his

ejaculate had created.

When he opened them, they were down the hallway next to the

fire escape. All Hans had to do was shoulder his lover’s weight, help

him keep his footing while they descended the stairs.

“We’ll be all right, Adrian. We’ll be all right.”

Adrian hadn’t answered. He couldn’t. He had sunk back into the

unconscious world, the effects of the dark magician’s treatment finally

getting the better of him. Thank goodness the fire department had

arrived. Then again, being rescued naked from a burning building was

becoming habit. A couple of comments he caught, proof of that. Still,

Don’t Read in the Closet – volume four 34

he had saved his man. That was all he cared about. He didn’t care how

many people saw his dick. Only Adrian could ever touch it in any

meaningful way from now on anyway. Their bond sealed.

He was indeed complete.

hospital, Hans visited again. If he could have stayed in the hospital

with his lover, he would have. Unfortunately, he was in a public ward.

The nurses wouldn’t have cared one way or the other, but other more

narrow-minded, patients, might have. They could go to hell as far as

Hans was concerned. Yet he abided by the hospital’s wishes.

“I see you got some clothes on, handsome,” were Adrian’s first

words as soon as he entered his curtained cubicle.

“An arrangement I could change very easily.” Hans kissed his

man.

“You bet you will. Next time I get to suck you off, it won’t be

under so much pressure.”

Hans sat down beside him. “I got some good news.”

“You have?”

“Yeah, my brother said he’d be glad to have us stay with him, you

know, while your apartment gets refurbished and the college isn’t

holding any classes over the summer break. Your chief told me

you’ve got enough leave, too.”

Adrian smiled. “And what about any other magicians who might

want to show their ugly faces? What do we do about them?”
