The sensations were intense but I didn’t come—Goldie had told me that I wouldn’t be able to until I had my lover inside me. That would be Kael—if only I could form the portal and bring him to me and then somehow keep him here.
Closing my eyes, I gave in to the delicious pleasure that was building inside me and began to recite the spell Goldie had taught me.
“Spirits Three, I call on Thee:
Cupid, Eros, and Aphrodite
My love is gone, my love has flown
I need your help to bring him home.
Form a portal. Form a gate
Bring him home my lusts to sate.
Bring him here, I beg you must
And then I swear to feed your lust.
All my pleasure, it shall be,
Dedicated all to thee.”
When I finished the spell I felt a tingle of lust rush through me and I heard a kind of deep, gong sound to my right where the wall was. But I didn’t look yet. Instead, I chanted my mantra three times.
“Kael, I call on thee. Come home, come home, come home to me,” I said over and over.
Finally, I dared to open my eyes and look at the wall.
The portal was there and the same barren Hellscape from the iron door met my eyes. I saw many horrible creatures—one looked like an animated skeleton of some prehistoric creature dragging itself across the cracked ground, another appeared to be a woman who had been literally turned inside out, writhing in torment. I didn’t look at those any more than I had to. Instead, I scanned for Kael.
At last, I spotted him. He was wandering in the Hellscape dessert, with a wild, desperate look in his red eyes. Because yes, he was still in his demonic form, just as Goldie had thought he might be. I recalled what she had told me before she left.
“He’s going to be in a state of mental confusion,” she’d explained. “He might not even know you at first but that doesn’t matter. The minute you get him through the portal, you’ve got to lock him down. He’ll be stunned at first by the passage—you have to use that time to your advantage. Put the spelled cuffs at the corners of the bed around his wrists and ankles.”
“All right—so what do I do once I have him cuffed down?” I asked her.
“Have sex with him, of course,” she said. “Sharing pleasure is a powerful thing. You can use Sex Magic to bring a confused or amnesiac person back to themselves, to break a spell, to ward off a curse—all kinds of things. Right now though, you’ve got to concentrate on bringing Kael back to his angelic form and tying him to the Earthly Realm so he can’t be sucked back through the portal to Hell.”
“Could that happen?” I asked. “I thought it was going to be a one-way portal?”
“That’s your intention, of course,” she told me. “But whether you can make it come true or not is up to you—it depends on how strong a pull The Pit has on him and how strong your will to keep him with you is.”
“I’ll keep him,” I swore grimly. “No matter what I have to do, he’s not going back to Hell once I get him over here.”
“That’s the spirit!” Goldie had nodded approvingly. “Just keep repeating your mantra and keep your intention fixed in your mind. Visualize what you want every step of the way—manifest your will. Humans think they can do that with all their silly ideas about ‘the power of positive thinking.’ But only witches can truly make it happen—we are the only ones who can make our will reality. And I can tell you’ve got a lot of power—both as a Medium and a witch. You can do this!”
“I can do this,” I repeated to myself now. “I can bring Kael back to me—I can bring him through the portal. Kael—come to me,” I called. “Come now to your Mistress—come to the one who loves you!”
A hot, dry wind suddenly rushed out of the large round window I had created between Hidden Hollow and The Pit and sucked my breath away. It carried my words through the portal and I saw Kael’s head jerk up as he looked in my direction.
His burning red eyes focused on me and I saw a long, forked tongue shoot out of his fanged mouth and lick his sneering lips.
A cold chill ran down my spine. Was this really a smart thing to be doing? Goldie had said he probably wouldn’t know me at first and I knew how incredibly strong he was. He could break me in half with one hand if he wanted to.
I forced myself to push those thoughts and doubts away. I knew Kael—he wanted only to love me and pleasure me. He had gone out of his way not to hurt me in the past—I believed that I could bring him over to me. I also believed I could get him back to his angelic form before we consummated our relationship and made the sexual sacrifice I had offered to the three deities I had called on to help me.
