“I want you to come on my cock,” he says, his voice raspy in my ear as he rocks his hips harder and faster.

The bite of the edge of the pool into my skin only turns me on more. I’m aching as he drives deeper, each thrust sending him rubbing up against my clit until it feels like I’m about to explode.

Xander’s hand drifts up to the side of my throat, his thumb drifting over my pulse.

It’s the casual and possessive touch paired with a hard roll of his hips that sends me crashing over the edge of another orgasm, pussy clenching around him as he throbs inside me.

Xander comes a moment later, his cock stiffening and pushing deeper into me, where he holds himself until we’re both spent.

When he pulls out and looks down at me, my heart starts crashing.

“I don’t think I can go back to my chambers without you tonight,” he says.

Biting the inside of my cheek, I run my hands up his chest, wanting to spend the rest of the night wrapped around his body. “Take me to bed, then.”

His grin spreads wide as he takes me by the hand and leads me out of the pool area, stopping long enough to grab towels from the loungers before we race up the stairs.

Laughing, we stumble into his chambers, losing the towels as we move through the sitting room and into his bedroom.

As we fall into the bed, all I can do is hope that he’s still next to me when I wake up in the morning.

CHAPTER 13

XANDER

“Ihave to go to a meeting,” I say, though I make no move to climb out of bed.

Amy laughs and rolls over, grabbing my pillow and hugging it to her as she closes her eyes. “You should go. They’re going to want to talk about the interview, along with the pictures that you know people were taking in town yesterday.”

“Which sounds like yet another reason to stay in bed.”

Getting up, I stretch before heading for the closet, the towel from my shower earlier still draped over the back of the door. Trying to get dressed was a little difficult when Amy seemed to prefer the idea of sending my clothing sailing back to the floor.

I grab some slacks and a black polo shirt, hauling them on over my boxers. After rooting through the drawers for some socks and a belt, I finish getting dressed and step back into the main bedroom.

Amy has the silk sheet gathered against her, the deep blue fabric making her hair glow like flames flickering against the night. “Have fun at the meeting.”

I pause, still staring at her. “I think you should start staying in here with me. I could take the couch if you want, but if it gets out of the castle that we still have different chambers, people are going to ask questions.”

“I thought it was normal for kings and queens to have separate chambers.”

Shrugging, I grab my watch from the nightstand and put it on. “Maybe for some of them, but I don’t want to be the kind of man who spends every night away from my wife. It might work for some people, but I enjoy connecting with you at the end of a long day.”

“And if I asked you to sleep on the couch or to take turns on the couch, you would be okay with that?”

I nod. “Whatever you feel is best. I don’t want to push this too far, and despite recent events, I know this is just business between the two of us.”

Except it doesn’t feel like just business anymore.

There’s no way that I’m going to tell her that, though. Not when this arrangement is so new.

“Sure, I’ll move into your chambers,” Amy says, a teasing smile on her face as she gets out of bed with the sheet wrapped around her, heading over to the books on the mantel above the fireplace. “But right now, I think I’m going to stay here and read before Daphne hunts me down.”

“You have a good time with that.” I fight the urge to walk over and kiss her before leaving, instead heading for the door.

What I feel for her could just be a combination of fascination and lust. She treats me like a normal human instead of someone ruling over a country.

She doesn’t seem to care about the fame or the fortune, but I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know her well. We’ve only known each other for a couple weeks.
