Exiled.
Forgotten.
Cursed.
Stoned.
Throw to the side like common filth and left to rot. Orion lay splayed out on the parched, jagged earth next to the rest of the putrid waste thrown over the city walls, broiling beneath an unforgiving sun.
If the sobs weren't enough to labor his breathing the cloying humidity mixed with the sour-sweet stench of the waste would certainly do the trick. He was broken, alone and cast aside without mercy or pitying glance for something over which he had no control. His magic.

Accepting Fate
"If I want to tie you to this bed you are going to let me. Because it's what I want." Orion felt how her body relaxed. After all it was what he commanded of her. He rocked his body for a moment inside of hers just savoring the feel. Feeling the sweet heat and the way it gripped him. He didn't think ecstasy was the right word for what it felt like to slam himself into her and have his release. Just thinking about doing it again made his gut clench in anticipation and his cock throb almost painfully inside of her. "If that's what you want then." She stretched her arms up above her head and her gaze just daring him to do it. Like what he wanted didn't really matter to her, she'd do as she pleased. Just the sight of her stretching out below him, daring him with her gaze and clearly asking for it, made him lose control for a moment. Which had not happened before with anyone. Mindlessly wanting them like he wanted her right then. It was just really exciting and arousing seeing her offering herself like she did. *fully available on inkitt subscriptionComplete

As I lowered my head to look at the hand clutching my wrist, he used his other hand to grab my chin, turning my face toward his. Then, he pressed his lips to mine. I stood frozen for a moment. Then, I let myself go. For a fleeting instant, he seemed to let himself go too. And then, just like that, he was gone. In an instant, he had vanished. The hand gripping my wrist, the lips pressing against mine-gone. And I was left standing there, completely stunned. It felt as though I had forgotten my own name. I started to tremble. My legs gave out beneath me, and I collapsed to the ground. Sitting there, shaking in shock, I finally understood what he was.
