Page 59 of Finding Love with the Fae King

Dear Gods, she wanted me to lead this.Fuck, fuck, fuck.

I pushed her down, and she bobbed back up, only to repeat the process over and over. As she was fondling my balls and sucking me dry, my ability to last was gone, and I was going to explode everywhere. Hell, had she done this before?

“Darling, get up.” I strained, but she was unmoving, well, not moving off my cock, anyway. There was a slight hum, and I released everything I had. Melina continued to bob up and down until I was spent.

Her sultry eyes stared up at me, and I saw her neck strained back, and I watched her swallow my seed. We were both hot and sweaty as I hauled her up to my chest. Her nose nuzzled into my neck as I pulled the sheets over our bodies. Letting out a sigh, she kissed my neck, and my heart almost exploded.

“Darling” —I petted her hair— “you didn’t have to do that,” I whispered like it was some big secret between the both of us.

“I wanted to. I’m just worried about other things.” The blush went from her face down to her chest, and I squeezed her tighter. My cock was already hard. She feared my ten-inch beast. Chuckling in her hair and cupping her cheek, I sucked on her bottom lip.

“We won’t do anything until you are ready, darling. No rush. I promise you this.” I used my fingers to tickle up her arm. “I will make slow love to you and make you so wet that it won’t hurt the first time.”

Her doe eyes glanced up at me and raised an eyebrow.

“Much,” I added quickly. I cleared my throat. “So, how uh…” I trailed off, and she started giggling.

“How do you know all that… what you just did?” She kissed my neck again. “Well, let’s say my adoptive family was very sexual. I may have been scared to do things at first with you because you are my first everything, but I was told how to get down to business. Tulip wouldn’t let me be that innocent.”

“I should send her a gift then,” I mumbled into her hair.

Melina snuggled up against me again, and I could feel her eyelashes tickle my neck. She was falling asleep, and I had an entire date planned out. I would continue to ‘date’ her like she wanted until she was comfortable mating. Just knowing she wanted me and she loved me would have me sated.

My thoughts still strayed as to what would happen to her once the claiming officially happened. Fae, like werewolves, bite or mark to ward off other males or females. There was no record of a human and a fae pairing, and that concerned me the most. The Goddess wouldn’t have paired us if it was dangerous, but Melina could be out for days if the process were to be the same. I could feel my face contort in anger at the thought of anything happening to her.

Some scholars that I had spoken to were still researching, but all efforts were fruitless. We would have to continue to take it a day at a time. Right now, claiming her would be stupid. The rebellion was in six days, and I couldn’t afford one day off from training myself and preparing the remaining shifter armies arriving.

However, keeping Melina safe would be number one. I had felt the heat of their stares from the upper west side of the palace. Every single one of them was pissed. They wanted the Court to have the upper hand and thought they were in the lead. In two years, I had to take a queen; now my destined was here and would take the place of Daphne.

I grunted silently, and Melina remained still. Petting her hair and tickling her arm, I could feel the warm breaths bathe my chest.No one would have her. No one would have my queen.Over my dead bloody body.

Lucca was another to worry about. Lucca was one of the siren princes and had a nasty streak of stealing women from beaches and putting them in his harem. Once they were sucked into that whirlpool of madness, there was no escaping unless he let them out. He told people he saved them, but he was a crazy fish that even his own parents stayed away from him. Luckily, he was the youngest of the princes and would have no way to access the throne. Having twelve brothers would do that.

Melina slept right through our date and on into dinner. I didn’t sleep a wink, just staring at her like the obsessed fae I’d become. Who knew I would end up like the sap I was? Once she stirred, I could hear her stomach growling, and I couldn’t help but laugh. Her eyes darted straight-up to mine, and she whispered a small “Sorry” before peeling herself from my body.

“Where do you think you are going?” I pulled her back to bed and pinned her down.

She giggled and tried to push me off. “I have to go to the ladies’ room! Let go!” She laughed as she playfully shoved me.

Taking the torn dress off the floor, she tried to hide her body as she tip-toed to the water closet. I’d seen all her body, yet she still tried to hide from me. I smirked as she closed the door while she gave me a warning glance.

A banging on the door woke me from my stupor. I grabbed my Elven silk robe and walked to the door. Everett stood with a hand on his blade with a formidable expression on his face. “Cosmo from the Court is here to see you, Your Majesty.”

I gritted my teeth as I opened the door wide and headed to the living room quarters. He sat on the couch, rustling through some parchment. I cleared my throat, and his eyes whipped to mine. Standing up, he took a bow.

“Your Majesty, most congratulations are in order for you and your destined.” His voice strained. Returning to his stoic features, he handed me the stacks of parchments. “Here you will find your destined’s new schedule. Since she is human, she will need to undergo rigorous training. The Court demands it, and I’m sure the Parliament would agree.”

I ripped the papers from his hand and studied them. She would be gone from sunup to sundown, and even then, she would be forced to sleep in different quarters than I.

“The hell is this?” I growled.

Cosmo stood back and fixed his cloak. “She is human, Your Majesty. She has no previous training; she doesn’t know the land or the cultures inside it. It is highly recommended, even demanded. She needs to understand what her duties will be. I’m sure you understand.”

“My own mate is not to sleep in the same room as me? Care to elaborate?” I snarled at him.

Sweat was beading on his brow. “We don’t know what will happen once a bond is cemented in place with her being human. It is just for precaution. She will be under constant guard. No worries about that.” Cosmo waved his hand and turned his back to me as he walked to the door.
