She cries out.
I smile to myself at the sound. I hope her servants don’t come looking to find out what’s making their mistress make such noises. I don’t stop though. It would be a crime to stop now. When she’s so close.
As I think that, her back bows. She trembles under my tongue. I curl and pump my finger, reaching for that secret place within her.
“Yes.” Jah’ruud hisses in my ear. He seems almost as invested in this as I am. If I didn’t know better—
Yalina gasps. Her cunt squeezes tight around me. I grind hard against the mattress, pleasure rising in me until I’m right on the edge of bursting myself.
Then she shudders and cums on my tongue. I grin, working her through it even as I ache for my own release.
When the trembling stops and she lets out a long sigh, I raise my head. She is looking down at me in wonder. “That was… that was…” She breaks off into laughter, and her head drops back onto the cushions.
I’m laughing too, from pride and desperation both. I want to sink myself deep inside her, to slake my need on her body. At the same time, I want to hold and pet her and thank her for allowing me the privilege of bringing her to release. I deserve no more than that.
An unsteady breath tickles my ear. “Good.”
My cock twitches. So this affected Jah’ruud like it affected me. Or near enough anyway.
I don’t have time to investigate that further because Yalina sits, glancing at the door. “You should go.”
I gape at her in disbelief. “Now?”
“No one must know you’re here.”
I can’t form a coherent reply.
She pushes me to my feet. “Quickly. Can you imagine what Aurelion would do if he knew you had snuck into my room?”
I frown. “I don’t care what he thinks.”
“But I do. I must. Let me do this the right way.”
My frown softens as I realize she must be talking about letting him down gently. Then my heart swells in my chest as I consider what that means—she’s chosen me. “Fine, but I’m not ashamed of what we shared. And you shouldn’t be either.”
She stops pushing me to fist her hands in my tunic and pull me close again. “I’m not ashamed.” She lifts her chin and brings me in for a lingering kiss. My cock surges to life again.
I sigh when she pulls away. “I have responsibilities to my people. But I love what we share.”
Does that mean she lovesme?
There’s a sound at the door, and I finally hurry into action. Pulling up my trousers, I dart onto the balcony just as the door opens a crack.
A servant pokes their head inside. “May I enter, Light of the Sun?”
“Just a moment, please.” Yalina sounds too calm and collected for my liking. I have no idea where Jah’ruud has disappeared to.
Yalina gestures to me with a hissed admonishment, and regretfully I make my way over the balustrade and part way down the vine beneath.
I’m astonished when her face appears over the edge a moment later. “Say this will not be the last time.”
I blink. “Of course not.”
She smiles, and I almost forget to breathe. “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight—”
She disappears before I can say more. I climb down and sneak back to my room regretfully.
