Adam's slender fingers wove through the humid air of the arcane chamber, summoning crackling tendrils of violet light that danced across his bare chest and slender hips. Sweat glistened on his smooth skin, tracing paths down his taut stomach as he chanted softly, the scent of burning ozone and his own musky exertion filling the room. His cock twitched faintly beneath the thin fabric of his robes with each surge of magic, the raw power stirring an undercurrent of restless heat in his core.

A sharp knock shattered the trance. The door swung open to reveal a panting courier, whose hurried words struck like lightning: Jack had returned from his mission, already striding the marble halls of the capital. Adam's heart slammed against his ribs. Without a second thought he bolted from the chamber, robes flapping against his thighs, his slender legs pumping as he rushed through torchlit corridors toward the grand entrance.

His breath came ragged by the time he skidded to a halt at the sight of the towering diplomat. Jack's muscular frame filled the archway, broad shoulders gleaming with travel dust, his commanding eyes locking onto Adam with an intensity that made the younger man's cock swell and his hole clench in sudden, aching need.

. But the grand palace gates loomed shut between them, cold iron bars sealing off the archway where Jack stood, and Adam muttered curses under his breath for having left his tower only to be thwarted by this ridiculous barrier after racing all that way. Refusing to turn back, he summoned his spiritual energy in a focused surge, the air warping around him with a low hum as a glowing rift tore open; he pictured the palace's resonant corridors, stepped into the dimensional path, and dissolved into pure arcane essence, reappearing moments later in a shadowed hallway inside. No one noticed. Heart pounding with excitement, Adam hurried through the vast marble halls, slender legs carrying him past tapestries and echoing chambers until a small smile curved his lips at the sight of his best friend, the Twilight Titan himself.

Jack turned at the soft footfalls, his commanding presence filling the corridor, and they fell into low conversation about the months apart—Adam's grueling spellwork, Jack's brutal diplomatic missions—yet the older man's gaze kept dropping to the younger mage's lithe body, his mind consumed by raw hunger to claim the little mage's tight cunt. They kept talking as they walked, the conversation stretching longer with every step toward Jack's room as Jack's voice grew rough and desperate until they reached the door and entered.
