“What do you want in exchange?” His voice was more even than I expected.

Then again, he had probably anticipated my rejection.

What did I want?

The most obvious answers flashed through my mind.

Freedom.

Safety.

Security.

Happiness.

Ravv couldn’t really give me any of those things, though. I didn’t know why he’d come to find me, but it was safe to assume that he would have to answer to someone—his king, at the very least—when we got there.

And that person might want to use me for something terrible. Or they might want to kill me.

Veil, they might even want to send me back to my old kingdom, which sounded even worse than the other options.

So I couldn’t ask Ravv for those things.

But there were other things I wanted, weren’t there?

I bit my lip to stop myself from blurting out my answer.

Ravv was old, and that meant he was experienced in basically every way.

That meant he wouldn’t have any moral issues with giving me what I wanted, hopefully.

I held his gaze. “I want you to make me climax.”

He blinked.

I could’ve explained to him that I had never had the privacy to explore my own body. That I had been curious for years, without the freedom to try anything.

But I didn’t explain any of that.

“How?” Ravv finally asked me.

“Pretty sure I shouldn’t have to give you directions,” I drawled back. “You’re an ancient fae, aren’t you?”

His lips curved upward in an expression I’d almost call a smirk. “I could bring you to climax with my cock, ice, mouth, or fingers. A combination of all four would be even better. I could make you climax once, or five times. I could—”

“I get it,” I interrupted him.

My face was hot, and I was still steaming, but I was more intrigued than bothered.

“One climax,” I said. Committing to more, before I’d even had one, seemed like too much. “And you can use your fingers—that’s it.”

Though I was interested in all the other options too, I wasn’t ready to jump in completely. I needed to ease in, and I’d feel safest if he was only using his hands.

“Alright. Let’s go.” He stayed where he was, waiting for me.

There was no way to back out now that he’d agreed to my plan, so I slowly made my way to the shelter.

Ravv followed me inside and sealed us in, then sat down in the middle of the space, and waited. He’d shown me that mental image of me sitting on him, so I knew exactly how he wanted me.
