“Is it a sin?” she asks coquettishly, a playful pout on her now bruised lips as she touches her forehead to mine.

“It is, but one that’s totally fucking worth it,” I reply. “Now, my turn.”

She bites her lip in anticipation as I lean back and begin slamming up into her hard and fucking savagely. She cries out, her head tilting back as cries of pleasure tear from her lips. I keep going, fuelled by emotions and hunger.

There’s something about her, something about fucking her that drives me nuts. Every time I get a taste of her, it satisfies me more than sex ever has, and yet at the same time, it leaves me wanting more.

“Kai…” she whimpers. “I’m close… so fucking close.” She buries her head in my neck as I slam harder into her, holdingout until I feel her entire body tense, and then she comes, a soft, blissful scream leaving her. I let go, pleasure slamming through me, and I let out a low groan of approval. I deliver a few final thrusts, my cum coating her walls as we both ride out our releases.

I hold her, the sharp wind blowing, both of us breathless, our bodies hot against the cold air.

I can feel my seed sliding down my cock. I keep holding her, for once, not bothering or wanting to raise my walls. For once… I just want to let go of who I’m expected to be.

I run my hand down her back, kissing her neck and shoulder softly. After a moment, she leans back, her eyes finding mine, wide and curious. She wants to ask me something, but it’s almost as if she’s afraid to…

And there’s nothing I can say… so instead, I pick up my discarded cloak and place it around her shoulders, wrapping my arms around her tightly, resting my head on top of hers, simply holding her.

I don’t know what this is. I don’t want to face it, not when there is so much in the works… but inthismoment, I just want to hold her, to cherish how good this feels.

Just the two of us, without a care in the world, but then I feel something pulsing in my pocket, and my stomach sinks. The timing is a cold reminder that I can’t forget, even for a moment, why I’m here.

It’s a message to get in touch with Varkhazan immediately.

A Betrayal

Siralaine

My eyes open, and I realise it’s still dark. The fire is still going, but it has eaten up a lot of the wood. What awoke me?

I frown when I realise I can’t feel Kai behind me. His cloak is on top of me, though. I’m about to turn when I hear his voice. It’s quiet and faint, but he’s clearly talking to someone.

Is someone here? How did anyone find us?

We had travelled by sky for hours and were in the middle of nowhere.

My eyes open, but I remain still. From the tone, it’s obvious he doesn’t want to be heard, and my instincts tell me to remain where I am. I close my eyes, focusing on his voice.

“…as I can. It’s not easy terrain to navigate without being spotted. Tell the King it will be done,” Kai’s voice is coming.

“Varkhazan has no doubt that it will be done; he just wants to know when. Morcant seems to have been alerted that you, Keiran Kaldor, the deadliest commander under Varkhazan, have arrived on Varindor.”

Father knows?

Opening my eyes, I stare at the fire.

“It doesn’t matter if he knows. I have a way to reach him, regardless of where he is. I will kill him in the name of Varkhazan. You need not worry.” Kai sounds cold, and it reminds me of the first time we met. I didn’t realise how his voice has become softer towards me now.

I smile softly, closing my eyes again. It seems it’s just a meeting for updates from Varkhazan. I’m about to try to sleep again when the next sentence the messenger speaks makes my eyes snap open.

“Your bride-to-be also sends a message.”

My heart stops as those words ring in my head.

Kai is silent as the man continues. “She says she will be waiting at the veil entrance once the Crown of Varindor sits on your head.”

My heart is thumping as I try to remain as still as possible.

No, how can it be that he has a fiancée?
