Another Magician

Trying to get back to posting with some kind of regularity, but we'll see. I may do a sequel to this one if I can come up with a good trick for the main character to use. I have another story written and I am working on another one, so I should be able to post another one fairly soon.

Luciano failed to restrain an impulse to run to the front door where a package was waiting. The package was from Silver, more an acquaintance than a friend, but someone who was willing to support his amateur interest in magic. Silver had demonstrated his own expertise and Luciano was ready to become his student. The result had been a few slight of hand tricks that he had gotten really good at, however he really wanted to do magic. Silver had been very patient and after further instruction had promised to send a kit to get him started, with further assurance that instruction would continue. Now with the box containing the kit in hand Luciano was eager to return to his den to open it, when his wife, Zhi blocked his path. Smiling he spoke.

"Yes, my love." She glanced at the box, but failed to comment.

"Xun is coming to visit." He caught himself quickly to avoid dropping the box.

"When?" She shrugged as she slowly turned to return to their bedroom.

"Some time in the next couple of hours. She'll be here till Monday afternoon." Luciano nearly continued to the den when he stopped to call after her.

"Wait, what about your retreat?" Zhi had been going on a retreat with some friends, which included a full spa treatment, for five years now, just longer than they were married.

"Oh, I'm going of course, it's all paid for. I'll leave tomorrow morning and be back Sunday evening as I usually do." He quickly crossed the distance she had made.

"And your sister?" She folded her arms.

"I'll spend tonight with her and the rest of the time I leave her to you." He spoke quickly before she could walk off.

"Your sister is twenty-four, she doesn't need a babysitter and I have plans of my own." Zhi shook her head.

"Out with your friends doesn't count. I don't want my sister left alone." This time she walked off quickly and he stood a moment longer before continuing to the den. Once at his desk he opened the box, his enthusiasm cooled, but still eager to see the contents. Inside there was a small box and two translucent boxes folded up. Included with these were a set of instructions. The small box was to be used with a card trick, a note inside strongly encouraged the use of a new deck of cards. So the audience wouldn't think it had been prepared. Luciano whistled as he considered the complexity of the tricks. At that point he was not completely certain he could do the tricks, well possibly the card trick, but not the other. Despite these misgivings he practiced the hand movements and the words, separately as he wanted to get them right without risking a botched trick. He was in the midst of this practice when his phone rang. A glance told him it was his friend Zahi.

"Hi, Zahi, how goes it?" He still looked over the instructions as he listened.

"Luciano, my friend are you ready for the weekend?" Luciano groaned as he dropped the instructions and leaned back in his chair.

"Change of plans. The wife's sister is staying the weekend and her retreat goes on." Zahi's groan matched his.

"So, you just going to stay home?" Luciano considered this for several moments before responding.

"Well, you could join me, but yeah I'm stuck here till she gets back on Sunday." He slowly returned his attention to the instructions as he awaited Zahi's response.

"Sure, I'll be there tomorrow night. I'll bring the beers." Luciano grinned.

"Sounds like a plan. See you then." They hung up and Luciano finished emptying the box. The packed boxes proved easy enough to unfold and snap into place before setting them into their bases. He turned to his computer, dealt with some emails and generally kept busy until he heard the doorbell. Assuming it was his sister-in-law Xun, he rose and walked toward the door. As expected his wife was opening the door to reveal a young Chinese woman, who was clearly Zhi's younger sister. The two embraced and after a short time Xun turned to embrace him as well. After a moment she stepped back and smiled.

"Hello, Luciano, so you're stuck with me tomorrow?" He nodded.

"Looks like it, but I'm sure we can make the best of it." Xun laughed softly and shook her head.

"I'm sure you have things you would rather do than hang out with me all day." Before he could consider a response Zhi spoke.

"I'm sure Luciano will find something for you two to do." At this he merely nodded. Xun quickly looked from one to the other, but didn't speak as her sister led her to the guest room. Xun did her best to make dinner a lively affair, but in practice it proved to be her and Zhi catching up with only some input from Luciano. Afterward he returned to his den and after some further consideration of the package from Silver he decided to simply head to bed. Zhi followed soon after.

"I hope you will be a better host this weekend then you were tonight." He sighed as she got into bed.

"You had so much to catch up on, it didn't make sense for me to break in. Besides I think I have been very graceful about you derailing my plans." She gave him a sharp look, but hesitated before speaking.

"True. But this retreat is not something that I can cancel and get a refund. I can't reschedule either. She won't complain, but I don't want Xun alone. I promise to come back earlier on Sunday." He turned to her and she accepted his kiss. He lay back and they were soon asleep.

He briefly stirred as Zhi rose to make an early start. She planted a kiss on his lips before leaving and he settled back down.

Later he woke, not late, but still a good long sleep. He dressed and headed to the kitchen. There he found Xun eating breakfast. She smiled when he entered.

"Good morning, sit down. I'll make you breakfast." Luciano hesitated, but soon sat down.

"Alright, I don't feel like starting this weekend off with an argument." She playfully punched his shoulder.

"No argument." Luciano relaxed in his chair while she assembled breakfast for him.

"So, Xun is there a particular reason

this

weekend and not another, given you won't really see your sister?" She spoke without turning around.

"Actually I have to meet someone for lunch today. Nothing too serious, work related." He nodded slowly then remembered she couldn't see it.

"Fair enough." Before he could speak further she turned around with a plate that she quickly placed in front of him. "Thank you." She nodded and sat across from him as he ate.

"So, what plans did I ruin?" He nearly choked on his food, but managed to swallow and drink.

"Don't feel too bad. We both know Zhi." She nodded, but still looked expectantly. Luciano nodded.

"I was planning to meet up with some friends at a hotel a little distance from here where we could meet. We would drink and only have to walk upstairs afterward. I was going to show off the magic kit I just got." She brightened.

"Magic? Really?" He nodded. "Maybe you could show me later?" He looked thoughtful as he ate a few more bites.

"Well, my friend Zahi is coming over later. Maybe we could make it dinner and I could do some magic after." She nodded vigorously.

"Cool. Well, I have things to work on before my meeting. See you later." He waved and returned to finish breakfast. For the rest of the morning he focused on ensuring that he thoroughly understood the tricks. When he realized it was time for lunch he went back to the kitchen. While eating he called Zahi. Zahi picked up right away.

"Hey, Luciano, what is it?" Luciano leaned back.

"Not a lot, just a small change. How do you feel about dinner and

then

some magic?" The response was quick and Luciano could imagine his friend becoming animated.

"That sounds good. Should I bring some wine instead?" Luciano thought about this.

"Well, certainly a bottle as Xun is joining us."

"Understood. See you around five." They hang up and Luciano returned to finish his breakfast.

Five in the evening found Luciano preparing dinner and confident of his ability to do the tricks. The doorbell rang and he went to the door, but to his surprise it wasn't only Zahi, it was also his wife, Hadiyah. However Luciano refused to let this affect him.

"Hadiyah, so good to see you. I'm just about finished with the preparations, then we'll need about twenty minutes. Zahi, why don't you open the wine and bring the glasses to the living room." Hadiyah rolled her eyes.

"No need to pretend that I was expected Luciano." He held out his hands in an effort to placate her.

"Please, Hadiyah don't confuse the surprise of your presence for a lack of welcome." She shrugged and went to the living room, where she was soon in an animated conversation with Xun. As promised the meal was soon ready. The meal proved to be delicious and any anxiety Luciano had been feeling at the many changes to his plans were soon evaporating. When they had finished eating they soon returned to the living room, Xun and Hadiyah with wine, while Zahi and Luciano a beer each. Hadiyah soon broke the post meal quiet.

"So, Luciano, Zahi continues to tell me about your interest in magic. He hinted that you planned a demonstration. Care to show us?" Luciano shrugged noncommittedly. Xun soon spoke.

"Come on Luciano, you said you would." Luciano grinned and quickly left the room to retrieve the accoutrements of his tricks. The boxes he left behind the couch where Xun and Hadiyah sat. In his hand he carried the small box and stood in front of the couch. He handed the box to Hadiyah.

"Examine that carefully before I begin the trick." She did so in an efficient, businesslike manner. Satisfied she passed it to Xun, who made a far more cursory inspection before passing it back to Luciano. Luciano turned to Zahi and gestured to the others. "The cards please." Zahi passed the deck to his wife. Hadiyah soon passed it to Luciano as she was satisfied that it was unopened. He deftly opened the pack and thoroughly shuffled the cards before fanning them out to Hadiyah, who rolled her eyes before pulling out one. She showed it to Xun and attempted to hand it to Luciano, but he instead handed her a pen. "Now, if you could both mark that so that we will know it's your card." They shrugged and both wrote their names on the face of the card. They nearly handed the card back, but Xun decided to draw a small design on the card. She grinned as she handed it to Luciano.

"Just to make a little harder for you." He returned her grin as he accepted the card in the deck, while Zahi handed the small box to Hadiyah. Luciano turned to her.

"Just double-check that the box is locked while I shuffle these cards." She nodded and he began to shuffle. Once he was satisfied he fanned out the cards for them to see. "So, do you see your card, ladies?" They both stared wide-eyed, momentarily unspeaking, Hadiyah was the first to speak.

"Alright, Luciano where is it?" Xun also chimed in.

"Yeah Luciano, I admit it, I didn't see." He grinned as he handed them each half the deck.

"Be certain." They dutifully checked, although Hadiyah sighed as she accepted the cards. In short order both set the cards aside and Xun spoke.

"Okay Luciano, finish the trick." Luciano handed a key to Hadiyah and pointed to the box.

"Right there." She blinked momentarily, but quickly used the key to unlock the box and opened it. Inside was their card, right down to the design that Xun had made. Both gasped as they simultaneously reached for the card. As they lifted it Luciano noticed a slight coloring and a sharp gasp of breath, but it was brief so he ignored it. Hadiyah suddenly shook herself as if from a stupor and spoke.

"Okay that wasn't bad, but the way Zahi talks up your prowess I was hoping for something more." Luciano looked momentarily uncomfortable as if he had been hoping she wouldn't ask this, but he suddenly grinned, and gestured for Zahi to follow him. The two circled the couch to retrieve the other boxes. These were placed in front of the couch. Luciano frowned and quickly glanced from Hadiyah to the blue box in front of him. However he shrugged and decided to continue. He opened the side of one box and signaled for Zahi to do the same with the green box.

"So for the next trick I would like Xun to stand in front of the blue box and Hadiyah the green one." Xun eagerly complied, but Hadiyah glared at him. Zahi looked pleadingly at his wife who in a short time nodded and moved to stand by her husband. "Good. So if each of you would be so good as to get in the box behind you." Xun looked briefly at him, but she moved to climb into the box. Hadiyah turned to him, glaring once.

"Are you serious, playing in boxes?" Zahi tensed, but Luciano signaled him to relax.

"Please Hadiyah, I promise this isn't a joke at your expense. Trust me a little and you won't be disappointed." She hesitated, but ultimately nodded and like Xun entered a box. Luciano waved his hands over the boxes as he spoke.

"Abracadabra, alakazam." Zahi glanced over to him and Luciano shrugged. "Now, lift up." Together they lifted a box each and nearly dropped them as all realized that Xun and Hadiyah had swapped places. Xun broke the silence.

"Wow, Luciano now that is some magic." For once Hadiyah didn't comment. Luciano quickly rallied himself.

"Voila. And now if you're will, for my next trick." Xun nodded eagerly.

"Oh yeah, what's next?" Hadiyah seemed dazed, but soon she spoke.

"Fine. Let's see what you got." Zahi blinked and looked over to his wife as he had heard something in her voice as well as her choice of words. However he shook his head, certain he was imagining things. Luciano's confidence seemed to grow as he continued.

"Back in the boxes for the next trick." They complied, although Hadiyah was a little reticent. Once they were positioned Luciano and Zahi placed the boxes back in place. Luciano again waved his hands over the boxes.

"Abracadabra, alakazam." This time Zahi struggled not to laugh. Luciano remained focused on the trick. "Zahi, if you would." Still struggling not to laugh Zahi nodded and the two lifted the boxes. This time it took an even greater effort not to drop them as they saw that Xun and Hadiyah were naked. They quickly set the boxes aside to stare in astonishment. In moments the other two realized their state of undress. They quickly moved to cover themselves and Hadiyah returned to glare at her husband.

"What the hell, Zahi? What kind of trick is this?" Luciano fumbled in his pockets for the instructions. He soon found the last section and raised his voice to interrupt Hadiyah's tirade.

"Alright, alright this should fix everything." He waved his hands, not realizing one hand was waving over his own crotch while the other was waving over Zahi's. "Open sesame." There was astonishment and Luciano's embarrassment only grew as the result of the trick became clear. Not only Luciano's pants, but Zahi's as well opened and as a result dropped to their knees, this included their underwear. It was then that Luciano noted that he was fully erect and he wasn't sure if that was simply due to the naked women on their knees or if the trick had fully hardened him. In the end it really didn't matter as Hadiyah was now raising her voice, but it occurred to him that she was still kneeling. He was no longer paying attention to what she was saying, his mind was far more on the fact that not only was she still on her knees, but

her

focus appeared to be on his cock. The more he considered the more he realized she was unwavering in her attention. It took him several moments to realize that she was no longer speaking as her attention remained on his cock. Xun spoke at last in a quiet voice.

"May I?" Both Luciano and Hadiyah looked over to see what she was talking about. They saw that her hand was poised as if to grab Zahi's cock and she looked up intently at him. Hadiyah spoke, but it seemed from a distance, as if it was lacking conviction.

"Zahi...what is this?" He seemed to pale as he responded.

"Nothing my queen. I-I didn't encourage her or anything." Hadiyah's attention slowly drifted back to Luciano, or more accurately to his stiff erection. Xun spoke again, now sounding almost plaintive.

"Please, let me." Zahi looked over to Luciano and mouthed 'what the hell?' Luciano shrugged and suddenly pointed to Hadiyah whose own hand was drifting toward the cock in front of her. Luciano spoke softly, but neither Xun nor Hadiyah seemed to notice.

"Do you want to fight it?" Zahi shrugged. They returned their attention to the naked woman kneeling in front of them. Xun didn't wait any longer for Zahi's permission, but closed her hand around his cock and began stroking. He moaned softly. Luciano's attention was soon completely captured by Hadiyah's hand closing around his own cock. Both women were soon stroking at a swift pace, only pausing occasionally to add some saliva by licking the hand that was stroking.

However Xun suddenly switched to licking Zahi's cock directly, producing still louder moans from him. Hadiyah paused momentarily at the sound, but instead of speaking or returning to the handjob she opened her mouth to engulf the head of his cock. This time it was Luciano's turn to moan and it was as if he was competing with Zahi in volume. Hadiyah slowly moved her head forward taking more and more in her mouth. When her lips reached the base Luciano let out another loud moan and he thought he would cum down her throat. He was distracted by a sudden whistle. Luciano looked up to see Zahi's surprised expression.

"Wow, I didn't even know she could deep-throat." Luciano shrugged, unable to respond. Xun suddenly took Zahi in her mouth. Soon both women were bobbing away on the hard cocks in their mouths. While they weren't in synch, especially as Xun was only about half-way down Zahi's shaft as she wasn't quite as skillful as Hadiyah, but with similar speeds. Luciano felt his eyes slowly close as Hadiyah once more took him all the way in. However just as he thought he would cum down her throat, she pulled off. She looked up at him sternly for a moment, before grinning.

"Your turn Luciano." He stared for a moment as she laid back and spread her legs. He wasted no time in lowering his mouth to her pussy. He planted a kiss on the top of her pussy before rubbing her lips with his fingers. She moaned softly and encouraged he continued until he was satisfied with how wet she was. Luciano spread her lips and instead of lowering his head, suddenly turned his head to kiss her thigh. She made a yelp of surprise and stared hard at him. He made eye contact with her and turned as if to kiss her thigh again, but suddenly lowered his head to her lips and kissed hard. He wasted no time in pushing his tongue between her lips to thrust hard. She moaned louder and wrapped her legs around him. She moaned louder still as he thrust his tongue even harder. Luciano reached around to squeeze her ass in order to thrust all the deeper. Hadiyah practically screamed as she thrust her hips hard into his face. She shuddered and tensed as he continued to thrust his tongue between her lips. At last she collapsed with her eyes closed and breathing hard. Luciano licked his lips and glanced over to the others.

Xun had moved to the couch and Zahi was between her legs. Zahi was sucking her clit while he thrust two fingers between her lips with one hand and with the other he rubbed against her ass. Xun moaned softly and writhed under him. Zahi thrust harder and began working his tongue as he continued to suck on her clit. Zahi redoubled his efforts and she writhed more, but her moaning remained soft. Closing his lips tighter around her and switched to thrusting three fingers between her lips as well as gently inserting the tip of his finger in her ass. Suddenly Xun thrust her hips into his face and held that position, but again her moaning only became somewhat louder. At last she relaxed into the couch and closed her eyes, breathing softly. Meanwhile Luciano scooped up Hadiyah and carried her to the couch and lay her next to Xun. In moments she opened her eyes, her attention on his still hard cock. She grinned as her eyes slowly rose to his face.
