Her hand wrapped around my cock and squeezed.
I groaned.
“Listen here,” she continued. “I know you’re not the Noble-born boy you claim to be. How can you be, with the dark hair? And all the other girls say you look a lot like the king and the little prince. I’m notstupid.”
She squeezed again. But it was hard for me to focus on the threat when it felt so fucking good.
“You’re not stupid” was the only thing I could push out.
She smiled more ferociously than Zariah had in his dragon form.
“I want to protect my own.Yourown. We work together with the prince to protect and save those who we can. We find somewhere for them to go, whether that’s here or elsewhere.”
Sure, fine, whatever she wanted. As long as she kept touching me just like that …
I shook my head. “I can’t leave the palace,” I argued. “I have my research, and my studies. I?—”
Her hand stroked up and down my length, making any further thoughts impossible, let alone speech.
“You’re selfish. And I still want you. What does that make me?” she whispered fiercely, then crashed her lips to mine.
It was night and day compared to Clover.
Clover was a cool breeze across your face, soothing a hot brow and whispering sweet nothings into your ear.
Shava was a burning fire, scalding herself into your flesh as you thanked her for the honor.
And for her, I’d happily burn.
Chapter
Sixteen
When we finally broke apart for air, our gasps echoed off the water and the stone walls. Shava pulled away, but I grabbed her wrist and yanked her back towards me.
“Where are you going?” I growled, my voice rough and gravelly.
Her eyes flashed in the semi-darkness.
“Away from you. I don’t know what this is, but I don’t like you and I don’t trust you. Or myself, for that matter.”
Beautiful, brave, andsmart. Perhaps I had to give a little in this scenario for the greater good. After all, I could already see multiple ways such an agreement could benefit me in the long run.
“I agree with your terms. I’ll help you and Zariah.”
Her gasp of surprise was immediate, followed by her lips crushing to mine again with much more enthusiasm. I laughed inwardly at her quick capitulation. Her body melted into mine, every curve built to fit into the hollows of my chest and arms.
Yes, I could get used tothis.
I’d been kicked down my entire life. It was time for me to take, for once.
Hot desire and thrill shot through me as I wrapped my arms around her hips and throat, spinning her to shove her belly first up against a rock that sloped upward out of the water. Grasping her hips and pushing both of us up onto the rock’s edge, I entered her from behind in one thrust.
The noise that burst from her throat was half a cry, half a moan of desire, and it unraveled an overwhelming urge to dominate and claim within me.
My patience broke as I snapped my hips hard against hers, uncaring for anything other than my own pleasure as she writhed underneath me.
I reached my pinnacle far too quickly, coming undone inside of her with a groan and final push. My mind was nothing more than a fuzzy haze as I collapsed on top of her.
