Thoth by Alessa Thorn

Kema sighed as Thoth touched the blossoming bruises on her skin, sending more of his power through her to soothe her aches away.

“Who would’ve thought that you had such a jealous side?” he said.

“I wasn’t jealous. I only wanted to get the job done,” she mumbled. Thoth bent down to kiss her shoulder and unclipped her bra.

“I’m not the only one getting naked,” Kema complained, turning and catching the buttons of his shirt. Thoth’s gaze went to her bare breasts and stayed there.

“I was wrong,” he said, eyes wide.

“About what?” Kema asked, surprised he would ever admit being wrong about anything.

“Maybe your breasts do hold the answers to all of the universe’s secrets.”

Kema’s laugh echoed loudly off the marble. “Well, you can search for those answers in a moment. Help me undo this braid, will you?”

Thoth was gentle as he unraveled her mangled hair, somehow managing to get rid of the rest of their clothes at the same time. He was as beautifully made as Kema imagined. He was all lean brown muscle, glimmering tattoos, and scars.

I am going to touch you everywhere before this night is over, she silently promised.

“I can’t believe you never told me that this was hiding under our feet,” Kema said, trying to hide how affected she was by his gorgeous body. She walked down the steps into the steaming aqua water, her skin tingling all over at the sudden heat.

“With everything that has been going on in the past few weeks, I didn’t think to mention it,” Thoth admitted, stepping down into the water.

Kema skimmed her fingers over the steaming surface. “You should have. Maybe you wouldn’t have been so stressed out if you were having a soak every night.”

“I still would’ve been stressed. You have disrupted my life significantly,” Thoth replied. He pushed his wet hands through his hair, and Kema’s belly fluttered.

“I have zero regrets about that,” she said, slowly swimming closer to him.

Thoth smiled. “I didn’t say I regretted it. Maybe you were needed to get things moving again.”

“Sounds an awful lot like you’re believing in that fate theory more and more,” she couldn’t resist saying.

Thoth stroked her cheek with his thumb. “Hermes’s blood. Who would’ve dared imagine?”

“I know, I’m just so irresistible. An old man like you didn’t stand a chance.”

Thoth rolled his eyes and pulled her closer. “Such a smart fucking mouth on you,” he said and kissed her.

Kema’s arms went around his neck, and he pressed her up against the marble edge of the pool. Kema’s legs wrapped around his hips, needing him closer. Under the water, his hands stroked her breasts, her soft belly, and hips in slow caresses that stoked her desire.

“Going after the djinn like that tonight was reckless,” he said between kisses. “I swear my heart stopped when you hit the water with her.”

“Well, she shouldn’t have ground up against you like you were a stripper pole. I was standing right there,” Kema growled. She didn’t regret throwing the djinn into the pool one bit.

“I’ve never had anyone do anything like that for me before, try to protect me. Be possessive of me,” Thoth whispered disjointedly, resting his forehead against hers. “Please never do something dangerous like that again. As you said, I’m an old man. I can’t have my heart getting such shocks.”

“I’m not going to promise that, Thoth,” Kema replied fiercely. “I’ve never had anyone protect me either like you did the day of my wedding or when the demon attacked me on the street. So how about we protect each other’s back from now on, instead of making silly promises?”

“My fierce Kema,” he said, holding her a little tighter. “It’s a deal. Damn it, I need to give you some more training after all.”

“Yeah, you do. Lucky for you, I’m an excellent student.”

Kema held his shimmering gaze, her hands tracing over his broad shoulders, the curve of his collarbone and circled the golden ankh in the center of his chest. She placed her palm over it, felt the power in it, her magic rising and heart pounding in response.

“Can you feel that?” Thoth asked, and Kema nodded.

“What is it?”

“It’s a link to the power of the Duat. Hermes is a psychopomp. It’s possible you have a connection to the Underworld power as well.” Thoth let out a soft, helpless laugh.

Kema poked him in the side. “What now?”

“You just…” Thoth seemed to struggle for words. “Just fit. The more I try and fight against it, the more I find that convinces me…”

“Convinces you of what?” she pressed, unsure of where he was going.

“That you’re meant to be here,” Thoth settled on and repeated. “You were always meant to be here.”

Love is a con, remember?Kema’s inner asshole whispered to her. He was staring at her, raw and unguarded, and it slayed her.

Maybe it’s not, she told it.

“When you talk like that, sorcerer, it makes me want to give you whatever the hell you ask for,” Kema said with a sigh.

Thoth’s grin turned wicked. “Then it’s a good thing the night is still young.”

“That's some fine confidence you have,” Kema teased.

Thoth’s hand went between her thighs, felt the evidence of her desire despite the water. “With good reason it would seem.”

Kema couldn’t think of a smartass reply, her head tilting back in a gasp as he stroked and teased her. Her nails dug into his shoulders, slid down his chest, before clasping his already hard dick.

“Looks like I’m not the only one,” she managed to say, before he was hauling her out of the water and onto the pool’s edge. Thoth looked over her glistening body, eyes hazing with a desire that made Kema tremble. No one had ever looked at her like that before, and it hit her core like a blow.

“You really were made for sin,” Thoth said, stroking her wet breasts with one hand. “Now, where were we?” He slid his hard body down her front, mouth leaving fire wherever he went.

Kema’s legs went over his shoulders, and he lowered his head between them. She wrapped her hands in his dark curls as he spread her lips apart and licked her in one hard stroke.

“Fuck me, Thoth,” she gasped, hips jerking. His strong hand gripped her hips to keep her from sliding back on the marble.

“I intend to. All night long,” he replied, and with a wry smile, he gave her clit a hard suck. “Now be a good girl and play with your breasts for me.” Kema laughed breathlessly and did as she was told.

Pressure was building inside of her already, her senses in overload with the combination of the slick warmth of their bodies, Thoth’s mouth, the hard marble underneath her. Thoth pressed two fingers inside of her, bronze eyes glowing, watching every second while he circled her clit with his thumb. She shattered, her fingers tightening on her breasts, and she erupted with a cry that amplified around the baths.

“That’s it, that’s the sound I needed to hear again,” Thoth said, kissing her inner thigh.

Kema didn’t have a second to get her mind back together before Thoth was out of the water and teleported her into a bedroom. Bronze light danced on their skin, drying them with impressive speed.

Thoth ran his hands through her long hair, pressing his face into it. “So lovely. I’ve wanted to see it out again for days.”

“And here I thought I was the only one that was caught up in lusty thoughts,” Kema said and kissed his muscled chest.

His grip on her hair tightened. “Lusty thoughts are a polite way of saying what was going on in my brain. Did you think about me when you touched yourself, little sorceress?”

“Yes, and I’m delighted that you’re living up to my expectations.” Kema took over while he was distracted by her words, guiding him backward towards the bed. He fell back on the indigo sheets and tugged Kema down on top of him. Her hair curtained around them as she kissed his smiling mouth.

God, she couldn’t get enough of him, her tongue pushing into his mouth to steal and savor the spicy and sweet taste of magic and magician. She was going to get addicted to him, and like everything else, her appetite was going to be voracious.

Kema’s hand went behind her, stroking his silky warm dick and making him buck against her touch. He grabbed her ass hard, and she groaned, rubbing herself against him.

The sound undid him, Thoth sitting up and pressing her back so her wet core slid over his shaft. The tip of his dick brushed against her, and Kema’s kisses turned wilder. She opened her legs wider for him, guiding him to her entrance.

Kema’s teeth closed on his bottom lip and lowered herself slowly over him. Thoth made a sound between a moan and a sigh.

“What was that? Go faster?” she teased, and his grip tightened on her hips.

“Don’t you dare. Let me savor the feeling of you so tight and hot around me. Fuck, Kema, you’re going to kill me,” Thoth admitted huskily.

Stars flickered over Kema’s vision when she finally got him all the way inside of her. She had never felt so tight and full, his dick hitting every one of her nerves.

Thoth clasped her face in both hands, kissing her once. His eyes were pulsing with his power, his godhood coming to the surface and making her breath catch. Kema’s inner walls tightened around his cock in response, her own magic rising and sending red glitter over her skin. Thoth licked the magic and sweat from her neck with one hot swipe.

“Fuck me until you scream, Kema,” Thoth commanded, his voice metallic with divine authority.

Kema thrust her hips against him and drew back with slow intent. Her arms went around him, nails digging into the muscles of his back to grip him tighter. Her pace grew with every thrust until she was riding him hard, the driving need for the slick hardness of his cock inside of her overwhelming every other thought in her head.

Magic crackled between them like static, but Kema didn’t stop. Every part of her wanted him, wanted this.

“You feel like heaven inside of me,” she groaned against his lips. Her fingers twisted in his silky hair, tugging hard enough that his head went back, and she ravaged his throat.

“Do whatever you want to me. I’m yours,” Thoth said. His calloused hand cupped her breast, thumb and forefinger kneading her hard nipple. He matched her pace, driving his hips up to meet hers in hard, forceful thrusts that made her orgasm hit her so suddenly, she screamed his name.

Thoth groaned, pulled out of her, and rolled her onto her hands and knees. Kema was still coming as Thoth drove back into her.

Kema cried out, the onslaught of him reducing her to a wet, aching mess. His cock glided in and out of her, powerful and controlled, sending jolts of electric pleasure through every one of her nerve endings.

Sex had been good but never this good. It was pure fucking bliss that she had never experienced before. Another orgasm was approaching, and in a daze, she wondered how many she could have in one night.

Thoth dragged her hips higher, and with her ass in the air, Kema surrendered any scrap of control she had left. His pounding grew faster, flesh slapping hard against flesh until Kema was crying out wordlessly into the mattress.

Thoth grabbed a handful of her hair, pulling her head up so he could kiss her roughly, and his dick swelled further. He groaned her name helplessly against her mouth, coming hot and deep inside her and sending her over the edge with him.

They clung together, both of them trembling, magic pulsing and hearts pounding together in a relentless rhythm. Thoth slowly pulled out of her, lying down beside her. Neither of them said anything, both overwhelmed by the intensity of their mind-blowing fuck. Kema reached out to stroke the damp hair from his face, touching his swollen lips reverently.

“I didn’t hurt you, did I? I got a little carried away,” he said, his tattooed arm draping over her.

Kema shook her head, smile dazed. “You can get carried away whenever you want. Who knew studious bookstore owners fucked like that?”

Thoth chuckled softly, dragging her closer as he countered, “Who knew fortunetellers could be this much trouble?”

Kema bit his shoulder. “You knew from the moment you met me. That’s why you kept me at arm’s length.”

Thoth placed a tender kiss on her lips. “I was a fool.”

“And now?”

“Now, I think I’m just going to be a fool for you.”

Kema wrapped her hand around his, pressed her lips to his knuckles. “Then we’ll be fools together.”
