Page 69 of The Princess and Her Grand King

He slid a finger inside her wet heat.

A long, trembling moan followed, echoing off the cave walls. Her libido, which she was sure had died after him, was alive again. And onfire.

"Never realized you were the breath of fresh air I needed until that new moisture vanished, leaving only dead, stale air behind," he whispered into her ear.

Her heart bloomed, like roses unfurling to sunlight.This male… how had she lived without this? Without him?

Carefully, he worked a second finger into her tight, hungry channel, beginning a slow, rhythmic glide.

Aekeira was suddenly glad she wasn’t standing, her weak knees wouldn’t have been able to support her. Tremors broke out, goosebumps not far behind. Gods.Gods.

She was already fighting an orgasm.

Teetering on the edge. It was right there, demanding she give in.

But she bit her lips hard, digging her toes into the ground.I need this to last. I need this to go on forever.

"And even across universes, your blood called to me," he growled, his deep voice like gravel. "It gladdens my soulless heart that tonight, I finally get to answer."

He sank his fangs into her neck.

Holy…!

Back arching off the rock, Aekeira wailed as she came. It barreled through her defenses, flooding her with pleasure after pleasure.

Lord Vladya’s furry hand held her writhing body still as he thrust his fingers into her starved body.

His grip possessive, as if Aekeira’s private place were his right. His to invade, his to open up. His to claim.

Fangs withdrawing, he took the thoughts right out of her head. "This is mine," he snarled, plunging his thick fingers deep and scissoring. "Every part of you ismine,my sweet,pretty little Aekeira."

Her body convulsed as she was submerged in ecstasy. Drowning.

At last, she slumped against him, boneless and utterly spent.

Only then did he withdraw his fingers. Giving her a raw, heated look, he brought them to his lips, licking them clean before letting out a guttural groan of absolute undisguised hunger.

"Hearths, it almost feels like my sex drive isn't asleep." He growled, staring pointed between her open legs, to her exposed core, a savage look in his eyes. "The things I want to do to you…"

She felt completely exposed. Open to his eyes. But she forced herself to keep her quivering thighs parted for him. To let himsee.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled away. Rising, he lifted her from the basin, carrying her back to his makeshift bed. Lying her on the soft surface, he began toweling her body.

His manhood was still hard and proudly erect, tenting his pants.That must be uncomfortable.

“Are you alright?” Aekeira voiced in a small tone. “Do you want me to—”

Her grand lord shook his head. “I’m fine. I told you tonight is for you.”

Looking up at him dreamily, she reddened.

"If I had my soul," Lord Vladya’s voice was low and gruff. "I would attempt a bonding ritual."

Aekeira’s drowsy eyes flew open. Had she heard him right?

He nodded, his expression solemn. "I would."

"Really?" she couldn’t help how small, how hopeful, her voice sounded.
