Jason gritted through the sharp pain in his side as he walked their bodies toward the bed. He’d suffer through all the pain in the world to be wrapped up in her arms. Her legs hit the edge of the bed, causing her to fall onto her back. Jason winced as he crowded her body with his.
“You’re hurting… we should stop.” She arched against him, trying to get out from under him.
“There is no amount of pain that would compare to stopping. I. Am. Fine.” He pressed his lips to hers as he ground his hips into her center. “If you don’t want me… or this, you need to tell me to stop.”
“I want this…” her hands tugged his face to hers.
Jason slipped his hands beneath the thin cotton t-shirt she wore. His fingers traced the lines of her ribs, reminding him she’d lost weight since being here. Her skin jerked under his palm, making him smile against her mouth. He dipped his head, licking the flesh beneath her ear.
Dimitra ran her hands down his neck and looped them behind his neck. She couldn’t get close enough to him. “You have on too many clothes.”
Jason laughed as Dimitra unbuttoned his pants and shoved at them. He eased his way off the bed and kicked them the rest of the way off. He held his hand against the bandage as he kneeled between her legs. Brushing his fingers over the worn material of her panties, he pressed his thumb against her clit.
Dimitra moaned, her body lit with energy that thundered through her veins. Every touch was electric. Jason brushed his finger beneath the elastic and plunged his digit between her folds. Her channel clenched around his knuckle as he drove it in and out.
“Fuck… you’re so tight.” Jason stroked his cock as he watched her writhing from his touch.
He withdrew, licking her cream before snapping the material from her body. His hands traced her belly, drawing the sweetest noises from her lips. He palmed her tit, squeezing it as he continued pleasuring himself.
“I need you inside me,” Dimitra wrapped her legs around him, tugging him on top of her. Jason pressed his lips to hers, his dick rubbing against her swollen nub.
“Dimitra… as much as I want to drive myself deep inside you, we don’t have any protection.”
“I don’t care. Please…” her eyes begged him to make her his in every way possible.
“Are you sure?” He braced his arms around her frame, keeping himself above her body. She nodded, pushing against his ass with the heels of her feet.
Every muscle in his body strained to go slow as he lined his cock with her opening. With one last glance at her face, he closed his eyes and pushed into her entrance. Her core clenched around him, squeezing him like a glove. Once he was utterly seated inside her, he froze, relishing in the feel of her wrapped around his cock. Her tiny mewls of pleasure prompted him to move. He bucked, easing his cock out almost entirely before pressing back in. Her body responded like they were meant to be one. Jason grabbed her hands, pressing them over her head as he continued to pound her with a feverish need.
Dimitra laced their fingers, arching her back as he ushered her towards the edge of bliss. Jason jerked, his body seeking solace inside her warm wet center. Her pussy drew him in, tightening around his shaft. Tingling coiled in her belly, her cunt demanding release. Crying out, Dimitra burst. Her sex spasmed around his member as he pistoned through his own release, spilling his seed inside her womb. Jason eased himself from her cunt. Their combined juices dripping down her thigh. Both breathless, Jason rolled to his side and tugged her against him.
His eyes stared at the ceiling, replaying what they’d just shared. As the thoughts ran through his mind, he noticed something on the ceiling of the cave.
“Dimitra,” Jason pointed toward the rocks above them, “What is that?” Dimitra tilted her head up. Her breath caught as she took in the marks. There, burned into the rocks, was a perfect circle. “Do you know what caused that?”
Dimitra smiled against his bare chest, “Yes… even light will burn through the darkness.”
Chapter 9
Helix hid in the shadows. He couldn’t take his eyes off the Amethyst gardens. Every Queen but one sat unsuspecting of his presence. It would be easy to eliminate them, giving him full access to the six kingdoms. His eyes followed their movements, trying to control his lust for revenge was hard. As much as he wanted to spill their blood, it must wait. The plan he’d concocted was viler than merely killing them now. No… he wanted to watch them crumble, destitute.
Slipping back into the woods, Helix quietly moved away from the castle. He hadn’t gotten far when the sound of crunching stopped him in his tracks. Someone was in the woods with him. Listening to the rustling of leaves, he waited. Whoever it was had made a severe mistake coming into the forest while he was there.
Helix shrouded himself behind a huge oak tree as he waited. Sure enough, one of the Amethyst guards had come to search the grounds. Helix wondered if he’d been spotted or if this was a common thing. He held fast, giving himself the prime opportunity to strike.
Helix nearly gave himself away when he stifled a chuckle at the guard. The idiot hadn’t come into the woods looking for him. No, he’d come to relieve himself. As soon as he saddled up to a nearby tree, Helix waited until he unzipped his pants.
The guard never knew what hit him. Helix burst from the tree as he slid his knife from his boot. The metal blade slid across the guard's throat, gouging his neck. The blood spurted as he gagged on his own blood. Helix wiped his blade on his pants before sheathing it again. He released the guard and watched him crumple on the muddy ground. His body jerked as he drowned in his own fluids.
Helix turned and walked away. The rush of killing a man left him feeling a high he never wanted to lose. He knew exactly what needed to be done.
Helix headed toward the cave. He had a Queen to kill.
Chapter 10
Dimitra sat with her back against the frame of the bed. Jason paced the floor, “You’re saying that your power burst out of you while we were together?” He ran his fingers through his short hair.
Dimitra watched him closely. Even in his weakened state, Jason was handsome. He stood well over six feet tall. His body was well defined and toned. While he obviously kept his hair short, it had grown out some, causing strands to fall around his eyes. The once cropped sides had also grown in, but nothing compared to his eyes. Jason had the most beautiful blue eyes she’d ever seen.
