Born Magic

Nev blinked several times, trying to get his brain back to functioning again. ::Wow.::


Jamal ran his fingers through Nev’s hair. ::This makes being with you so amazing.::


They lay entwined, slowly kissing and touching until Jamal’s stomach began to growl.


Nev giggled. “Sounds like you need food. I have some fruit and olives and pitas.”


“That would be good. I got so focused on seeing you, I didn’t go to the mess hall after I got through with my courier assignment.”


“Let’s put some clothes back on and go out to the other room.”


Jamal sat on the padded bench and leaned back against the wall. He opened his mouth and let Nev feed him a chunk of pita.


“I can’t have you going hungry just to spend time with me,” Nev said. He sat with legs draped over Jamal’s lap.


“I would endure many things to spend time with you.”
