I wrap my legs around his strong thighs, savoring the savage, hungry rhythm that tells me he has been just as hungry for this as I have.
Without slowing the ravenous pace, Bard pulls his mouth away and stares into my eyes. His expression is hard, like a man torn between not understanding what’s happening, but also not giving a crap.
“I fucking love you,” I say.
He closes his eyes and leans his weight into me, letting out a deep guttural groan. The act of him coming inside me, of him taking me like I’ve always wanted, sends me spiraling into my own orgasm.
I come so hard that tears form in my eyes, and I swear I feel my heart beating again. I’m not sure if I’m imagining it, or if it’s really happening.
“Oh God. Don’t stop.” I move my hips, savoring the slick, warm hardness of his long cock rubbing against my inner walls, pushing against my clit. I feel the heat of his cum bathing the entrance of my womb. The contraction sends erotic flutters to my core and makes my muscles and nerves roll with euphoric waves.
I breathe in and exhale, the need for air transcending my need for blood.
I feel…hot. Not just from his skin and touch, but from the inside out.
He releases one final groan and collapses.
I lie there panting, staring at the cracked ceiling, him still inside me. “What was that?”
He starts coughing, and a white wisp of steam cuts through the air.
“Bard?”
He’s gone from the room before I have a chance to talk to him.
Gabrio rolls off me, onto his back, and stares at the ceiling. His face looks like his again. “Sonofabitch. Did my brother just fuck you, using my body?”
I nod. “Yeah, I think so.” And I want him to do it again.
Gabrio doesn’t say a word after our…whatever that was, but the look on his face when he exited the room was that of a man in deep turmoil.
I can’t blame him. He thinks I’m pregnant and worries about what’ll happen if it’s true. He also let me treat him like my personal foodbank, followed by him being possessed by the No One king, who had sex with me.
I shake my head. I still don’t know what that was. I assume Bard went inside Gabrio to heal him since I’d overdosed him with venom, but things took a huge turn.
At least when Gabrio left, he looked okay. I mean, not high, not depleted of blood, not jonesing for another bite.
My stomach gurgles, and I place my hands over it. “Come on. Not again.”
I put my clothes back on and open the door to look for Master and Gabrio. I find a red-haired naked beast waiting for me just in the hallway.
“Hello.” He bows his head. “I am told you requested a story time?”
“If that’s what you call giving me all the information you have on a particular topic, then yes.”
He gestures to his side. “Right this way.”
“Where are Gabrio and Master?” I ask.
“They are telling their stories.”
The vocabulary here is beginning to annoy me. “Can I see them?”
“After you make your own payment.”
I exhale. “Can you at least tell me what you want to know?”
“I am particularly interested in the intercourse you just had with the No One king and his brother.”
Gabrio told him? Why? “That’s private.”
“We record history. Nothing is private here.”
“Yes, I can see that.” I glance at his dick. I really hate this place. “But I’m not going to talk about that.” Besides, what’s there to say? I have no clue what happened.
“Then I shall interview you about your marriage to Alwar and your time with the Blood King. We must make a record of this.”
“Don’t you want to know about something less complicated?” I have to get back to the palace and make my address. “What about how I got here? Or my life back home?”
“Master takes meticulous notes. We have no need for that.”
That furry little asshole. “So he’s telling you guys all about my life.”
The beast nods.
“Awesome. Well, I guess I’ll answer your questions about Alwar, then.”
“Very good. Oh, and I also understand you would like to review the addresses given by prior rulers?”
“Yes,” I reply, “but what interests me more is the history of that wall.”
He looks shocked or nervous suddenly. “Why would you want to know that?”
“As ruler, it’s important to understand all vulnerabilities. Especially anything that might threaten our water supply.” Sounds like a perfectly reasonable explanation to me.
He stares hesitantly.
“Fine. What’s it going to cost me?” I say.
He smiles. “I want to hear what just happened in that room. I want to know everything.”
I avoid looking down at his crotch, because I would bet my left fang that he has a boner right now. The Scholar People apparently like dirty history.
CHAPTER NINE
Redheaded beast takes me to a big room with stadium seating that reminds me of an old, indoor colosseum, with stone benches that encircle the floor in the middle. Torches on the walls illuminate the space with an intimate vibe. Completely out of place.
