“I know. The entire time I carried you away from that place, my mind thought of nothing else – well, that and your safety.”
“There has to be some way I can signal the others…” Dimitra turned to face him, “they need to know I’m alive.”
“If you signal them – you’d be putting yourself at risk. That’s not something I am willing to wager right now.”
“Helix stands no chance against me now that I have my magic.”
Jason palmed her cheek, “I cannot lose you, it’s too risky alone.”
Dimitra covered his hand with hers and closed her eyes, “It’s my duty, Jason. I know you’re scared – hell, so am I. I have to do this, for them and for us.”
Jason brushed his thumb across her bottom lip, “I never thought I’d love again. When my parents were murdered, and my sister was taken, my heart darkened. Your light has given me purpose. It’s given me hope for the future. If something happened to you, I’d have no reason to live.”
He pressed his lips to hers, claiming her mouth in a searing kiss. Her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer to her chest. Jason ran his hand down her side and cupped her ass. Dimitra moaned into his mouth as he ground his erection into her center. Gripping her bottom in his hands, he lifted her. Dimitra’s legs wrapped around his waist, placing her needy center against his rigid cock. Reaching between their bodies, Dimitra slipped his dick out of his boxers. Pulling her panties to the side, she gripped his erection in her hand and guided him inside her channel.
Jason held her body as she eased onto him. Her pussy wrapped around his shaft, blanketing him in pure heat. Placing her hands on his shoulders, she began to bounce in his arms. Her cunt sucking his cock in and out as she held on. Jason nearly lost his balance in the stream but widened his stance so he could buck his hips harder. He licked and kissed her neck, suckling her flesh as they took what they needed from each other.
Dimitra leaned her head back, her eyes closed in ecstasy as she raced toward her release. Her body felt alive in ways it hadn’t in months as currents of electricity ravaged her soul. Locking her feet behind his back, Dimitra pulled him deeper into her channel. She ground her hips, rubbing her clit against his pelvic bone. The prickles of her orgasm began to build, signaling her release was near.
“I’m going to cum…” she said breathlessly.
Jason pounded harder, digging his fingers in her ass as he drove himself into her pussy again and again. His balls tightened as his stomach coiled, and he grunted as his orgasm ripped through him. Dimitra screamed out, her cunt clamping down on his shaft. They toppled over the edge together as Jason filled her womb with his seed.
“Fuck…” Jason held on to her body as he fell backward into the water.
Dimitra scrambled from his hold, grabbing his arms to pull him up from beneath the water.
“Oh my God… Are you ok?”
Jason leaned onto his knees, the water at his chest, “Yes… that was…” he tugged her against him, causing her to straddle him again, “I love you, Dimitra. Whatever it takes to be free of this nightmare, I’ll do it.”
She ran her hands through his wet locks, “Good… I already have a plan.”
Chapter 17
Helix stood inside the woods beyond the Ruby Castle. He was trying to decide where the attack he was planning would have the most impact. The Ruby kingdom was the smallest of the six kingdoms, meaning the number of guards was significantly lower than the rest. Plus, with her being pregnant, he would have an advantage.
Drifting back into the cover of trees, Helix nodded to no one. His plan would work this time. The six kingdoms would be his soon. He traipsed his way through the forest, making his way back to his hideout. There was no doubt in his mind the Queens would find the cave where he’d kept the Diamond Queen, but there was a surprise waiting for them when they arrived.
He was confident they’d received his gift by now. A gift that was certain to drive them mad with rage. A rage that would cause them to react without thinking. That’s just what he was hoping for… because when they finally made a move, he’d take them down.
Pulling a small vial from his pocket, he twirled the milky liquid around his fingers. His contact had finally figured out how to make the suppressor used in the Diamond Queens bracelet into liquid form. The tiny glass container was his secret weapon against their magic. Merely getting the contents on their skin would disable their elemental ability temporarily. In that instant, he would strike, killing them.
His need for justice was consuming. A bastard born to the king – even if it was before he was crowned, meant he had a right to royalty. At least in his mind, it did. He laughed out loud as he remembered his mother’s words right before he killed her.
She’d begged him to let this hatred go and live a healthy life. So many times, she’d explained how wrong he was and that he didn’t deserve anything from the Emerald King. Helix hated her for her lies and inability to see his righteousness. Once upon a time, he loved her, but as he got older, that love turned to hate. Even as he pressed the cold steel blade into her neck, he felt nothing for her. Watching her eyes stare up at him as her blood ran free, he hated her.
Helix slid the bottle back into his pocket. Everything was coming together. They might have bested him thus far, but this was going to be the ending of all endings. He needed to hurry. He had preparations to make for his attack on the Ruby Kingdom. He was sure, after all, that they would be forming a plan of their own. By attacking the Ruby Kingdom, they’d be caught off guard.
Chapter 18
After more deliberation, the Queens agreed to send a team of guards to the area they believed the cave to be located. If that were really Dimitra, she wouldn’t be at the cave, and they agreed that their presence would be stupid and a risk. Well, everyone but Onika. She refused to listen and left with the convoy anyway. Luca has been furious and chased after her.
With Rory having minor complications with her pregnancy, it was decided they would move to the Ruby Kingdom to continue their efforts in bringing Helix down, while the others searched for the cave.
Everyone was on edge. After the box was opened, everything changed. Emersyn was still holding out that it was a ruse to get them angry. Still, Onika feared they had failed Dimitra – another reason she put herself at risk and went with the guards.
“Have you heard anything yet?” Sarifena paced the library, “surely they’ve made it there by now.”
