Lust Turned 02 [MM*]

The next day was a blur for Steven as he went through the motions of work and school. He had trouble processing what had happened, and was in minor disbelief that any of it was real. He started wondering if there were drugs in the candles as they burned and they gave him some kind of hallucination that felt real afterwards. Running the events of the previous night over and over again in his head, he couldn’t believe that he actually summoned a demon, and that he let the demon give him a freaking blowjob.

Eventually the day came to an end and Steven once again found himself in his small efficiency apartment. The book was still on the kitchen table and he hadn’t bothered to clean the pentagram off the floor yet, leaving it temporarily as a reminder that last night was real. Spending an hour to tidy up the room, Steven wiped all evidence of his witchcraft from the apartment, leaving just the book and the candle on the kitchen table.

Sitting on his bed in the open room, Steven stared at the candle intently, his gaze not breaking for several minutes as his brow furrowed. Eventually, he stood up and walked over, lighting the candle with a safety lighter.

Closing the door to his apartment, Steven pulled the ancient book he had procured from the oddities store on the kitchen counter, his excitement bubbling over as he started pulling out reagents from his kitchen pantry. He’d been going to the store since his freshman year in college, and he finally discovered something worth trying.

Hedge magic, or practical magic, was a hobby of his. Sure, most of it was just mumbo jumbo and likely didn’t work, but he kept in good standing with a few virtual coven communities around the college, people who liked to think they were doing magic but were just having fun between classes and studies. Yet Steven always thought that deep down, hidden between the layers, there was a chance real magic existed. You just had to know what you were looking for.

He’d bought several older tombs (he avoided modern magic books like the plague) and read through various references, and a few things kept coming up over and over again. Of particular interest were mentions of an old book called “The Lesser Key of Solomon.” Originally written in the 1500’s then later reproduced in the 1800’s, it was said to contain references to demonology, spell incantations, and various other rituals of particular interest.
