W hen Aiden woke up, he was alone in the hotel
bed. He sensed Liam was close; rolling over
he wasn't surprised to see his lover sitting in the lotus
position on the dresser. He was eating ice cream from
a pint carton. "Hey you're alive." Liam grinned
around a spoonful of ice cream. "I was getting worried
and then I remembered your age."
"Brat." Aiden smiled though, Liam looked so
comfortable sitting up high. "Why in hell are you
perched on the dresser?"
"I can see you better." Liam said and ate another
spoonful. "I like to watch you sleep. It's kind of my
thing."
"And the ice cream, is that your thing as well?"
Aiden propped himself up on one elbow.
"No, that's because I like ice cream." Liam
jumped down from the dresser, unfolding himself like
a sinuous cat before landing on the floor. "Want
some?"

Aiden laughed. "I don't think so. You do know
it's hardly the right time for eating that shit."
"There's always time for ice cream." Liam was
now straddling Aiden; he loved it when his bare ass
touched the other man's skin.
"Keep that shit away from me." Aiden protested,
but not too strongly.
Liam put a spoonful of the cold mixture in his
mouth and then leaned forward to kiss Aiden and
share his ice cream. He kept his lips on Aiden's as
they both swallowed, turning the taste into a kiss filled
with giggles. It set the pace for the next few minutes
as they took turns with ice cream kisses.
When the last spoonful was eaten, Aiden flipped
Liam over on his back; it was his turn to take over the
seduction. For seduction was what it was. Gone were
the worries they both had about things that were
unfolding in their lives back in Vancouver. All that
was left was the touch of their bodies, hot with
passion. Their nerve endings, so sensitive that the least
breath, the tiniest of whisper, and the moisture their
bodies produced, all were felt, relished and enjoyed.
"Is this your way of apologizing?" Liam asked,
lowering himself on Aiden's latex clad organ. "Cause
it's a good one if it is."
"No." Aiden gasped, his cock buried balls deep
inside Liam. He gasped again when Liam clenched.
"Maybe." Aiden admitted.
Rising back up on his knees, but keeping the end
of Aiden's dick firmly in place, Liam leaned forward
and kissed lips swollen from ice cream kisses.

"Mmmmm, sweet." He whispered, falling back down
his own cock becoming even harder with the sharp
intake of Aiden's breath. Liam alternated his rhythm
with kisses to lips, nips on rigid nipples, all the while
riding up and down. He was fascinated with the array
of emotions that Aiden's face portrayed. More than he
ever thought possible and more than Aiden was aware
he was showing. Aiden Mac Ruaidhri had lived his
life keeping his emotions in check. But when he was
with Liam, in the quiet of the night, or the throes of
lovemaking, Aiden Mac Ruaidhri revealed his inner
most self. It was a secret Liam treasured and one he'd
never share with the man he adored. He was sure
Aiden had no idea.
"Liam." Aiden finally gasped, his eyes wide open
letting the red head see deep into his soul.
"LIIIIAAAAMMM."
His own balls tightened and he shot his load all
over Aiden's chest at the same time as Aiden himself
came. Liam collapsed forward.
Twenty minutes later, Liam felt Aiden's cock slip
out of him. Aiden managed to remove the condom and
tie it off discarding it on the floor for the trash later.
He kept one arm on Liam to make sure he didn't
move. It was not something he would have admitted
out loud, but he did like to hold the red head after
they'd had sex. Wet and sticky wasn't really a
problem. After all, wasn't that what showers were for?
"Aiden, I had to get away. I knew you'd find me
if you wanted me." The words were spoken and hung
200 Magical Moonlight
in the air for Aiden to listen to and take whatever
meaning out of them he wanted.
"You know I want you." Aiden began. "And you
knew it was Daniel who left the loft unlocked and the
alarm off. Yet you said nothing."
"What was I going to say?" Liam shrugged. "He's
an ass."
"I suppose, but he's human, you can't expect a
lot." Aiden brushed Liam's hair off his damp
forehead. "Why didn't you go to Frances?"
"I thought about it." Liam tried to turn his head
away. "Aiden, I'm sick of having someone watch
every move I make. It's been like this as long as I can
remember, though I suppose with Frances he's a little
less intrusive than some watchers."
"I've never had anyone care enough about me to
assign a watcher." Aiden replied. "You should be
happy that you're loved."
"I know I'm loved in a way. I mean my mother
probably loves me and maybe my sister. Dakota too I
suppose." He looked at Aiden through his eyelashes.
"I'm not taking the bait Liam." Aiden snickered.
"My father assigned a watcher to keep me a
virgin."
"Apparently that didn't work well."
"No it didn't, but that wasn't Frances' fault. I'm
pretty good at making myself lost when I want to. You
only found me because we have a connection that's
stronger than any magic. Whether you want to admit it
or not."

"I want you to come home." Aiden said changing
the subject. "We'll put this all behind us."
"And what?" Liam asked. "I have school and I
have responsibilities to Shay. I can't risk Zane
Chambers taking you or Shay from me because I want
to fuck you and he has some perverse idea of revenge.
Revenge for something that happened so long ago that
who really cares now. Not to mention it had nothing to
do with me."
"You think shit like this hasn't happened before?"
Aiden held him tight. "Of course it has, same shit
different names. If you're uncomfortable living with
me, why don't you stay with Lisa for a while? It'll
confuse the hell out of everyone. You and I, we don't
need to actually use the front door if we don't want.
We'll still see each other."
"Aiden Mac Ruaidhri is suggesting he use a spell
or two for his own gratification. What is this world
coming to?"
"It's not for me, it's for my son, for you, for the
people around us. I'm not going to give up the first
thing that's meant something to me without a fight."
Aiden couldn't resist leaning forward and kissing
Liam's nose, which led to kissing his mouth, his
cheeks, and finally rolling so the he was leaning down
over the red head, his eyes saying more than his voice,
but knowing Liam could read every unspoken
syllable.
Liam, eyes closed to better feel every tiny bit of
emotion Aiden was emoting, sighed in contentment.
One part of his mind continued to worry about Brad
202 Magical Moonlight
Chambers and his family, but the rest was devoted to
his lover as he continued to do his best to make
himself unforgettable to the overly sensitive, stubborn
Wahjee.
