Page 10 of The King's Mate

“Where are you going?”

“To get some nourishment for us. It’s going to be a fucking long night, and we need to keep our strength.” He grabbed his dressing robe and left the room to find a servant.

When he came back, Piper was finger-combing her hair at the end of the bed. He had a plate of food and a bottle of wine for them and set it on the table beside the bed. She looked so damn beautiful that he stopped mid-stride to stare. Something about her always caught his attention. It didn’t matter what she was doing. Clothed, she was alluring enough, if not defiant. Naked, she was fucking mouthwatering and completely vulnerable.

Piper glanced over at him and then back at the bed. She crawled onto the soft mattress, naked, and turned to face him. Spreading her legs, she laid back, arching her back as her fingers slipped along her slit. Boldly, she met his gaze and parted herself for him with two fingers.

“Is this what you wanted?”

Aleo stared at her pink pussy. “Yes.”

She stroked her clit with one hand, while using the other to squeeze her breast. The last thing he expected Piper to do was put on a show for him. He folded his arms over his chest, watching the little minx work.

“You don’t act like you want it.” She stroked her clit a few times before sliding her middle finger inside her and bringing it to her lips to suck clean.

Aleo scratched the stubble growing on his chin. Everything she did made him hard. That was her power over him. He could control himself for the most part, but he couldn’t control his reaction to her. His cock had a mind of its own, and it fucking loved it when Piper teased.

He closed the distance between them and leaned over her for a kiss. Surprisingly, she wrapped her arms around his neck as he devoured her mouth, kissing her like his life depended on it. She felt so good beneath him. Right. All the bullshit about mating ceased to matter with her. He could never take a mate now because all he wanted was this woman.

“No biting or slapping?” He dragged his mouth away from hers. “You’re giving me complete compliance?”

She lay back, smiling up at him. “You only annoy me when you talk. It’s far easier for us to get along with your tongue inside my pussy.”

“I knew there was a catch.” He glanced down at her. “I wish I could say that it mattered, but it doesn’t.”

He pushed her thighs wide and kissed along the flat expanse of her belly. She liked provoking a reaction out of him, and he knew it. If she really was indifferent toward him then he wouldn’t waste his time. Instead, she liked to push him. Any other person would have different consequences for going against him like she did, but he was fairly certain that Piper could do anything she wanted to him without real consequence. She knew how far she could push him, too. It was what made her different.

And he liked it a lot.

He buried his face in her pussy, and she arched against him, reaching out to hold him to her while he licked and sucked at her juicy cunt. There were few things he liked better than eating a woman out, but the fact that he had Piper before him, begging him, made it better than any time before. He licked and sucked her wet slit, loving how she rocked her hips against him, forcing his attention to where she wanted him to go. He gave her that freedom for a moment before pressing his hands on her inner thighs and holding her down.

“Do you want me to tie you to the bed?” He glanced up at her. “Stay still.”

Piper swallowed hard as he returned his mouth to her cunt. Hell, he didn’t expect her to obey him. That was half the fun of fucking her. Soft little gasps came from her lips as she held still, letting him do whatever the hell he wanted. He inserted two fingers inside her, working the tiny hole to drive her closer and closer to madness. She dug her fingers into the sheets beneath her, soft little whimpers leaving her throat as he continued to torture her.

He loved it.

“I can’t do this,” she dropped her head back. “I need…”

“What?” he asked, pulling back from her. He let her clit go with a pop and stared down into her eyes. “What do you need?”

She panted, each breath rushing from her plump lips as she stared at him. He waited patiently, gently stroking her clit with his finger. It was a matter of wills. Piper didn’t beg, and neither did he.

“You know exactly what I need.”

He smirked. “I want to hear you say it, though.”

Frustration filled her beautiful face as she contemplated what she wanted to do. He could do this all night with her. Eat her pussy. Make her come. Make her beg. Give her his cock. Repeat. Hell, he wanted to do it all night. He wanted to do it for all eternity.

“I want your cock.” She didn’t quite meet his eyes when she said it.

“What?” He moved over her so that he could stare into her eyes. “I didn’t hear you.”

He rubbed the tip of his dick against her clit. Piper’s sharp intake of breath was music to his ears. He loved it when he had her full attention. She was stubborn and sassy, but there were little moments when she let her guard down and allowed herself to be needy and vulnerable. Those were the moments he cherished with her.

She leaned forward and bit his earlobe. “I want your cock,” she whispered. “Now.”

“No.” He grinned. “Get on your hands and knees.”
