Paul is a dream walker, he is able to enter other people's dreams and help them. He can change the real world through the dream. And so he helps Kian, an incubus helds captive by a wizard. But after he disappears and Kian is eager to find him again.When Kian manages to find Paul, he is puzzled: unlikely every other human who is sexually aroused standing near him, Paul seems to be not affetcted. But when Kian touches Paul, all the sexually energy he has always denied, spring free. Paul helps and cares of people during dreams, but in real life he takes the others far away from him. He fears attachments and considers himself not worthy of love.
Kian is a thousend years old incubus but he has never really loved noone. He is warm and friendly and easy to be hurt, cause he lifts no barrier between him and Paul. Both Kian then Paul are "virgin" in matter of loving and grew together in this new feeling. Even if Kian is an incubus and usually this means a lot of sex, in Paul's Dream sex is not the main argument, the fear of loving someone else and the journey to accept this fact is far more important than sex.
The first long story I read by Rowan McBride and a very good one. Her fantasy is, as always, fresh and enthralling, the plot is complex and she manages to make me cry at one point (you have to read the story to know what point).
