“In your presence, it’s difficult not to want you bare, laid out before me. Writhing and wanting more of the pleasure only I can give.” I took her lips in mine and my cock went ice hard as she kissed me back, slipping her tongue into my mouth, stroking my shoulder. Her smell. Her feel. Her taste. Everything about Neve was designed to tempt me, tailored to my tastes.
Taste.Fates, I wanted to taste her now. To feast on her.
I broke our kiss and before Neve could blink, I shifted under the fur covering our bed, pushing that thin gown up as I went. Neve assisted, lifting her hips so that she was fully exposed to me.
Beneath the fur, I allowed myself to gaze at the beauty that was my mate. Her pussy glistened, wet and wanting, and the scent coming off her was enough to make me explode.
“Are you lost?” she asked, and suddenly, the fur was tossed to the ground.
“Admiring.” I licked her folds.
They parted more, allowing me the deeper taste I so desired. I moaned as Neve coated my tongue.
In response, my wife pressed her core to my lips. A low laugh left me. Neve was not one to be shy about what shewanted, in life or in bed. One of the many things I loved about her.
Moving up, I sucked on her clit, savoring the way she squirmed as I did so. How her fingers gripped the sheets. I smiled into her pussy and slipped a finger inside.
“Stars,” she whispered, almost as if she didn’t wish for me to hear.
I thrived on her praise. It fed me, just as her body did. Slowly, knowing she could take it, I inserted two more fingers and began to fuck her with them as I nipped lightly at her clit.
My mate’s back arched. “Vale, do that again.”
“Hmmm?” I asked peppering kisses along her inner thigh now. “What was that?”
In answer, snow fell. Unable to help myself, I laughed. Since our mate bond formed, our powers had manifested whenever we were intimate. They were usually a sign that we were losing control.
“Already, love?” I growled.
“By the dead gods, if you don’t stop teasing me, I’ll freeze you down there.”
“Yes, my queen.” I dove in again, desperate to feel her come on my tongue, to give her pleasure that no one else could.Her channel began to quiver.
“Vale, I’m close. I?—”
A moan swallowed her words, and her back arched high as sweetness coated my tongue. My mate rode out her orgasm on my face, and only when she was finished did I rise and crawl over her.
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyelids heavy with desire.She took my face in her hands, brought it to her lips and kissed me.
“More,” she whispered when we broke for breath. “All of you. I want you to fill me.”
Never able to get enough of my wife, my mate,my queen, I obliged.
Chapter 38
NEVE
Anew day brought new ideas. Or in this case, an old idea I’d been secretly hoping to bring to life since learning of it back at Riis Tower.
While others broke their fast, I sought Thyra and shared my dream. Her face lit up, and she accepted it readily, a sign that her wish to become closer last night wasn’t only a passing emotion or desire. Creating something that we were both passionate about, something that we mightshare, was the best way to begin this new phase of our lives.
So after the midday meal, my sister and I met in the training area. Vale, our friends, and even Clemencia and Anna, were in the far corner, sparring and practicing with weapons. I’d wondered if Anna really needed to train so hard, but she’d claimed an advisor to a queen would need to be strong in body as well as mind.
I refrained from confiding to Anna that the game had changed since the day I’d accepted her as an advisor. Back then, I’d not known that my sister lived. Or that Thyrawould wish to claim the throne. That decision lay before us still, though as Thyra and I were finally getting along, neither seemed keen on raising the topic. For the moment, we were just sisters, or as close to that as we could be as strangers learning of one another.
Aside from my friends, many other fae were present in the training hall. This part of the day tended to be the busiest. People had taken care of morning chores and had a few hours to hone their skills and strengthen their bodies.
Today, many female warriors sparred and practiced with their weapons of choice, just as I’d hoped. I looked at my sister after studying them each in turn.
