Karin squeezed his hand. "I do."

Fifteen

"Please."

"No."

"Please."

Pause.

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"I already said no. Have you become deaf?"

Karin flinched.

For the past few weeks, Korrev had been incredibly gentle. She had gotten used to gentle words, not his sharpness.

Korrev sighed, which was his version of an apology. It had been a few weeks since her visit with Alice, and Karin was barely getting out of bed. Karin had heard, though, that Alice had a bouncing baby boy who weighed eleven pounds at birth. Poor Alice.

She still felt a bit tired, but the nasty tonics she had been forced to consume had done their job. Now, she was heading to Azis to have one final appointment.

"Sorry," she responded meekly. Karin knew Korrev had had a difficult few weeks and she shouldn't push. He had a lot of workto catch up on because he had missed so much trying to catch Karin.

He still hadn't said much regarding a punishment for running away and Karin hoped it remained that way. She hadn't been punished in weeks and she liked sitting down on a rear which wasn't stinging.

"Karin, I do not mean to be short-tempered, but you have been asking me the same question for weeks, and the answer is still no." Korrev sighed. "I will not fuck you until Azis tells me you are well enough for me to breed you again."

Karin tried not to sulk like a little girl. For months, Korrev had been constantly touching her. The one thing she wanted him to do, he actually refused. A week ago, her sexual appetite had come back after she had been bedridden.

After months of not having sex, it was the only thing she could think of. She wanted him. Badly. She wanted him to fuck her as he used to. Long. Hard. For hours on end, until she felt like she was out of breath and her lower body was sore and achy.

If she got pregnant, then it would certainly be a bonus. Korrev had told Kyvan that Alice had made his queen eager for a baby, which had made Kyvan roar with laughter.

Karin wanted Korrev to act like he had in the past. Possessive. Dominating. Instead of treating her gently like he currently was. Who knew the brash king had the ability to be gentle?

She touched her neck. The pink bow collar had not been brought back, but it had been replaced by something else. A diamond and pearl choker now adorned her neck. The choker was beautiful and made of the finest gold, which Korrev said could only be found on one planet. The diamonds and pearls had been brought from Earth so she could have a little piece of home with her.

Korrev had explained that even though he wouldn't go back to the bow collar, he still wantedsomething he could use to track her down if it was ever needed. Karin thought it was silly, but if it gave him peace of mind, she was fine with it.

Sometimes Karin thought she was in a dream and Korrev would tell her he was joking and she would no longer be queen. But so far, he had kept his promise. He told her they would hold an official ceremony when the weather got warmer and she would be recognized as the first queen of Krotev.

She wondered what a queen did. Probably some sort of charity project, even though Korrev didn't seem like the charitable type.

"Don't pout," Korrev scolded her as he opened the door of the infirmary. "Serves you right. After all, I didn't lie with anyone else while I was searching for you. It serves you well for you to go through the same pain I went through."

Karin scowled. She was tempted to tell Korrev she'd give up her queenship if it meant Korrev would just fuck her.

Azis greeted them with a slight bow. He didn't seem surprised they were here. It seemed Korrev dragged her here twice a day, to convince himself she wasn't dying.

Karin had told him teasingly at the last appointment that she was going to be queen. Azis, being Azis, had not responded, but she had a feeling he disapproved.

Azis was not a man who liked change. Not to mention, he was probably worried he would have to deal with both Karin and Korrev daily.

He led Karin to the back of the room where he usually provided his services.
