“You don’t want to play this game, my love. I will have you begging for release in less than a minute.”

“That sounds like heaven,” she breathed.

Gods, this woman was perfect.

She smiled at me as I leaned forward and took her mouth with mine, my tongue dominating hers. Thea was a whimpering mess when I pulled away. Then I shoved her mouth back down to my cock.

“Open,” I demanded. She listened, and I filled her mouth, but I was losing control of myself. I pulled out quickly, then slowly glided back into her throat, making her gag. Thea moaned around me, making my sanity snap. My hips surged forward at their own pace. She took it eagerly.

“Look at you, so eager to please me,” I ground out. My words only fueled her enthusiasm as she whimpered around me. Her hands reached forward and scratched my bare skin on my stomach. “Fuck, you’re such a good girl,” I praised her. Her fingers dug into my flesh, and I knew it would bruise. “Do you want me to cum in your mouth or inside of you?”

I yanked her back so she could answer.

“In me,” she begged.

I forced her to stand so I could reach forward and yank her trousers down. Thea took control as soon as she was naked from the waist down. She straddled my hips as she grabbed the back of the throne and sank onto me quickly. I had to hold her hips so she couldn’t move. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I was not going to last long.

Thea gripped my hair and pulled my face back so she could kiss me. When she pulled back, her hands yanked her tunic up andover her head, so she was naked.

“I need your mouth on my skin,” she demanded, and she yanked me against her breasts. She slowly slid up my length as my hands grabbed her breasts, sucking and teasing her.

“Oh fuck,” she moaned into the silent room.

My arm wrapped around her back and pulled her closer to me. Her fingers ran through my hair and pulled on it as she rolled her hips into me.

“Fuck,” I muttered when I stared into her black eyes. Her soft pleas were echoing in the space. “If I could only hear one noise for the rest of my life, it would be this.”

“Cassius…” She was close. “You feel so good.”

I leaned my head back against the throne and watched her face as she fought her orgasm. She never wanted this to end. She never got enough of us. Her mouth parted as she stared down at me, her hips moving at an unbearable pace.

“Cum for me, Thea,” I begged. “I need you to cum.”

She leaned down and took my mouth with hers as she clenched around me. Thank the stars. I moaned into her mouth as I buried myself deep inside of her and came. Neither of us moved. Our labored breathing filled the silence around us. Thea pulled back, and I always worried she would regret this, but she gave me a heart-stopping smile.

“Every time I see Jesper, I’ll picture fucking you on his throne. Fuck, we should have done this in Cerithiatoo.”

I smiled at her. I loved her so fucking much. Thea’s eyes cascaded over my face before she hesitated.

“I love you too,” she whispered.

I froze. Not because of her words, but because I know I didn’t say that out loud. Thea watched the confusion mask my expression. Then she smirked at me.

“I didn’t say that out loud.”

She stood and started getting dressed so nonchalantly. She smiled at me when I pulled up my trousers and stared at her.

“No, you didn’t say it out loud, but I still heard it.”

“What do you mean?”

“I can read minds.” She shrugged like she was talking about the fucking weather.

“Since when?”

“I don’t know. It happened when I first escaped Exile. I heard Jesper’s thoughts. At first, I thought I was losing my mind, but then I realized I could turn it off and on.”

I was at a loss for words. Thea smiled at me innocently.
