With a grunt, he pulled out a bit and then drove himself back into me, deeper.

I moaned as he began thrusting into me. Gods, he was so big, I could feel every inch of his cock. My body burned with the delicious pleasure-pain stretch of taking him. Over and over, his thick girth stroked across my inner walls, stoking my need higher.

But when I leaned back to see his face, his eyes were wide.

“Are you—” I started.

“Fine.” Breaths came fast through his nostrils. “Who…” Another choked huff of amusement came from him. “Who knew the… focus techniques… of the Order… could be used to last longer… for you?”

My mouth moved in surprise. But my words turned into a startled whimper when his hands clutched my ass, crushing my clit against him.

“Gods…” he groaned. “Fuckinggods…”

I nodded. “Remind me—” I bit back a moan as he rocked against my clit, “—to thank you for studying those focus techniques.”

He gasped out a short laugh. His thrusting sped up, making my spine bump the bookcase. But before I could hit it again, he spun me away, supporting my weight while his thick cock kept pounding into me.

I clung to him, every nerve in my body lost to what we were doing. But gods, why hadn’t we stripped down completely? My breasts were scraping against my blouse and not his chest. Myhands gripped his sweater and not his skin. My flesh burned with the desire to be completely naked with this amazing man.

Because once, he’d been so restrained.

Now he was ravenous.

“Tell me.” His fingers teased at my back entrance as he kept thrusting into me, sending whole new waves of pleasure coursing through my veins. “What do you need? What does this beautiful body crave?”

My muscles tightened, my entire being chasing a release just beyond my reach. “You.” My head fell back. “I… I need you.”

“You have me. Forever.”

The word stole my breath. I squeezed my eyes shut against the burn of tears of relief and desire.

He grunted with desperation. “Come, princess.” He shifted his grip on me, shoving one hand between us and flicking my clit. “I want to feel you… when I…” A choked groan escaped him as his hot cum hit me deep inside.

Fire roared higher in my core. It tangled between my legs like a ball of lightning and exploded in a rush of sheer ecstasy. My legs clenched around his hips. My hands and pussy clamped down on him at the same time. In a white-hot rush of pleasure, my release washed over me, blinding me to the world.

Rivers of light coursing beneath us. More rivers in the distance, but dark vines wrapped them, poisoning them.

And the dark vines were starting to head this way.

I lurched back, my eyes flying wide. The vision faded, leaving only my shaking body and the feeling of Byron gripping me while my pussy milked his cock of the last of his cum.

His eyes found mine. “Did you?—”

“See that?” I finished at the same time.

He nodded. “The queen’s magic is coming.”

OZIAS

We had too many enemies in this temple that was anything but silent.

Invisible in the shadows, I scanned the corridor. Small creatures crept through the debris. Stones shifted and settled, sending dust whispering to the ground. Far below my feet, water rushed along, newly freed of its prison in the earth.

And down the hall—in a library, from the smell of it—my mate was finally finding peace with my obstinate friend.

I adjusted my aching cock, breathing slow and steady while sunrise began to lighten the dark sky beyond the window at the opposite end of the corridor. I was happy for my mate and my friend. Of course, Ialsowould have liked to join in. But I understood giving them both space while they addressed the tension that had been building between them ever since the seven of us met our beautiful treluria.
