“Evve tah, Aria,” he said again, heat dripping from the words. “You’re perfect.”

My hips jerked.

Triton wasn’t releasing that hand, so I slipped the other one into my skirt and gasped out a curse as I touched myself again.

“Let me taste you, Sweetheart.”

“No,” I whispered.

I was so, so close to my release. I had never felt this hot or this needy before.

I circled my clit again, and again.

I arched. Bucked. Swore.

But I couldn’t climax.

“I can make you come. Let me,” the king growled.

“Fine.” I pulled my hand from his grip and yanked his head toward my center.

Triton had my skirt up to my waist in a heartbeat and parted my legs wider. His gaze was molten as he took me in.“Arre vah.”

“What does that m—ohh fuck.” I gasped as he dragged his tongue over my clit. Then, I dug my fingers into his hair.

He circled my clit once, slowly. Then again, faster.

I shattered with a cry, but he didn’t pause. The man played my body like an instrument, taking me back to the height of my pleasure before getting me off again on his mouth.

After I came the second time, I finally had the self-control to push his head away. He let me stop him, his gaze dark in a way that made my toes curl.

I wasn’t supposed to be attracted to the man. Letting him make me come on his mouth was so much more intense than that.

Then again, there was no getting around the fact that we were going to have to seal the bond.

“That was…” I trailed off, not sure how to finish the sentence.

Incredible.

Intense.

Surreal.

Unintentional.

Insane.

I felt deliciously sated, in a way I never had before. There was still a whisper of magic inside me, telling me that I needed to screw the king, but it was quiet enough that I could ignore it for the moment.

“Thanks,” I finally finished.

His eyes narrowed. “Don’t thank me for kissing you, wife.”

The title made me suck in a breath.

How had I forgotten how complicated things were between us?

I couldn’t let anything sexual happen again. Not until I had wrapped my mind around everything that was going on and figured out exactly what I was going to do about the situation.
