“Today was regrettable, I admit. I didn’t want to do any of that.” Cyrus murmured, his voice heavy with sensual need. “I had no choice, you understand. We needed someone in with my father, and now we have it. It was always going to take something dramatic to make that happen. But Despoina will be happy here.”
He was trying to account for the horrors he created in the throne room, and a quiet, insistent voice told me to stop and protest—to fight and to resist his touch—but it was overwhelmed by the thrust of his body against mine, the moans of the others in the background. My body was craving touch—after so long denied, it had finally pounced upon the pleasure on offer and had no intention of stopping now.
His fingers ran along the top of my undergarments, down the seam of my panties, feeling the wetness that was leaking through them. He moaned and grinded against me. “I didn’t want to make you witness any of it, but you had to understand that actions have consequences, my dear. You seemed to feel you were exempt from punishment, because you know I don’t want to hurt you.”
I didn’t know any such thing, but I couldn’t think of that right now. All I could think of was the fire burning inside me, and the months of sexual frustration I had been subjected to. Cyrus’s fingers promised relief in this moment. I bucked up into them and his throaty chuckle sounded against my neck where he nipped lightly. I moaned as I pressed back against him. His other arm wound around my waist, pulling me further into him.
His fingers slipped into my undergarments, sliding over my bare cunt and we both moaned as his fingers finally slid through me. “Shalim, you’re so wet for me. My good little girl. You’re going to be good for me, aren’t you, Asteria?”
His hand around my waist came up and grabbed my jaw, pulling my head to face him. His other hand stilled, not moving against my dripping folds. I whined, bucking against his fingers.
“Tell me, Asteria.” His voice was rough, strained, like his restraint hurt him as much as me.
“Yes.” I nodded quickly and his mouth crashed down on mine. His lips devouring as his tongue snaked out into my mouth to play against mine.
His fingers slid through my arousal, circling my clit as I pushed up into him. My tongue tangled with his as I whimpered into his mouth. I hadn’t felt another’s hands on me since before Placement Day. The charge it sent through me to have another do so shook my whole body.
“Such a good girl. So fucking wet for your prince.” Cyrus’s lips left mine as he kissed down my jaw, up to my ear. “Let’s see how you like this…” He trailed off as his fingers slid lower, down to my entrance. My breath stuttered as I felt him push a finger inside me. We both groaned as I tilted my head back onto his shoulder.
“Fuck.” I breathed out as he quickly added a second.
“You’ve been so worked up, my dear. Just think, you could have had this the whole time.” Cyrus chuckled, his lips finding my exposed neck as he started to nip along the column. His fingers slid in and out of me, his thumb going to my clit and circling—dancing along the edges, making me whimper with the assault. He was driving me to the brink. He kissed down my neck as he added a third finger inside me, stretching me and causing me to clamp down around his fingers.
“Fuck.” Cyrus hissed. “You’re so tight, darling. I can’t wait for you to finally break, Asteria. To let me finally fuck you like you need.” His fingers sped up and I couldn’t stop my loud moan from escaping as I writhed against him. My head tossed backagainst him, my eyes watching Despoina ride Gage’s cock as the women took turns helping one another and riding his face.
“Yes, you’d like that wouldn’t you? Feeling my cock filling you up, stretching you out.” His fingers stretched out inside me at that moment, causing me to keen as I suddenly felt much fuller. Cyrus chuckled huskily. “Yes, you would. I know I would. Feeling all this tight, wet heat around my cock as I fucked into you. I can’t imagine anything better.”
His free hand came up and snuck under the top of my dress, cupping my breast in his hand. I pushed up into it as his fingers clamped around my nipple and pinched it. I moaned hoarsely, overcome with sensation.
“Shalim—Asteria—” Cyrus’s voice cut off, strangled with desperate pleasure. He pulled his fingers out of me, and I whined in response, feeling empty and unfulfilled. “I’m sorry, my dear, just hold on.”
He shifted me slightly forward and made me stand. I heard his belt clink as he let the front of my dress fall down, leaving me confused as how could he get his hands under if—he pulled up the back of my dress and then quickly pulled me down into his lap once more.
The front of my dress prevented anyone from seeing anything. And that was good because I felt—fuck. He’d pulled his cock out and was now sliding it along my bare cunt. My arousal covered his cock as he slid back and forth. I jumped when the head of his cock hit my clit, making Cyrus chuckle and do it again.
I was on the precipice of feeling that cock fill me up completely—feeling more than the tease of his tip hitting my bundle of nerves.
I knew there was a reason I shouldn’t want this. I just couldn’t remember it right now. The thought quickly flew away.
“Don’t worry. I’m not going to fuck you here. I just had to feel you.” A strangled noise left him. “By the Otherworld, you feel toogood, Asteria.” He did too, and I let my hips roll back and forth against his thick cock as he slid against me, his length between my lips, flaying me open and keeping me on the edge.
“That’s it.” He breathed heavily. “Fuck yourself against my cock, Asteria.” I moaned and leaned against him, letting my hips move as I chased my pleasure. The feel of his cock bare against me left me wanting more, needing to be stretched out and filled to the hilt. I rode against his cock as its head repeatedly hit my clit, giving me enough friction to finally find the climax I’d been chasing. Starlight blasted behind my lids, taking me out of my mind and body for a moment—I felt myself dancing in the darkness, the night sky welcoming me with the freedom and wild joy it always had. A yawning void I would gladly fall into forever. I writhed against his cock, tilting up so that his cock was drenched in my arousal. I shook as I rode out the ecstasy washing through me, cries of gratification falling from my lips as my head crashed back against Cyrus’s shoulder.
He grunted as he felt my cunt flutter against his cock, aftershocks still rocking through me. Cyrus grabbed my hips and kept me moving against him, until he was groaning, and I felt the splash of his orgasm against my folds as he came. The sticky drips of his cum against my cunt nearly had me panting for more.
Cyrus sighed and collapsed back into the chair, his arm winding back around my waist, pulling me against him. He buried his face into my hair as I collapsed against him, both of us panting and spent. Months of sexual tension unleashed unexpectedly.
When the high of carnal satisfaction faded, I tensed, remembering why exactly Ihadn’twanted to resolve that tension between us.
Old Gods…what had I done?
Chapter 14
Cyrusknew the second I stiffened against him that I was regretting what happened. He sighed long-sufferingly as he lifted me off his lap, offering me a towel from the table to clean myself with. I wasted no time getting his spend off me. Despoina and Gage were similarly finished, and Cyrus grabbed my hand and led me out of the room. Not stopping downstairs, we went straight from the stairs to the door leading outside. He didn’t stop until we reached the carriage, helping me inside and jumping in after me.
He had a small smirk on his face that I looked pointedly away from. He laughed lowly as he glanced at me.
“Don’t worry, I won’t push you for more. Not yet.” Cyrus said calmly, making me look over at him in surprise. He smiled and leaned forward on his bench seat towards me. “Now that I’ve had a taste, I am desperate for more, certainly. But I know you’lldraw further away if I do that, you can’t help being obstinate—it’s in your nature, and it’s one of the things I enjoy about you. But this—what happened today? You’ve proven that under all that headstrong refusal, you do want me, Asteria. It’s only a matter of time now, so I’ll wait. And when you’re ready? You’ll be mine.Completely mine.”
