I did not want him to just lay down and take from me whatever I gave him. I wanted him to laymedown and makemebeg for it. Mmm. He would be different than any other young man I havetaken.
I turned to look at him. His straight posture did not look forced and fake. River was genuinely comfortable with his body…and Lord, what a body he had. He was older than most of the candidates and older than what I had selected in the past. River had blue eyes, unlike I had ever seen before. They were a gorgeous, deep blue. Just like the dark ocean. I knew that I would love seeing them as he gazes up in my eyes while he eats my pussy. His chest hair was nearly perfect with a decent amount that spread across his chest muscles. He also had that delightful trail of hair that ran down into his trousers and sat at the base of his largebulge.
But, we knew very little about River Kulver. We knew nothing of his family or of his past. All we knew was that he was around thirty years old, and works at the apothecary. River would be close to my age, relatively speaking. He appeared to be mature, similar to Klyn. Older and mature would not bebad.
Ever since I saw Klyn taking control of Kamara and slapping her ass, I have fantasized about having that. Usually, I am the one calling all of the moves, and I love that. But every now and then, I would love for one of my gentlemen to be able to do that without me having to instruct them on how to doit.
I left Caleb’s side, and like a magnet, River drew me closer. I could not stop my tongue from darting out and gliding along my bottomlip.
“Well, River, are you ready?” Iasked.
“Yes, ma’am. Are you?” hecountered.
Suddenly, I was not interested in what I was going to do to him. I was very interested in what he could do tome.
“Follow me, River,” I instructed and turned to walk toward the edge of theplatform.
His cheeky reply confirmed that River Kulver would definitely be a challenge. One that I would gladly takeon.
“Gladly. I would follow you anywhere, my Queen,” Riverassured.
“People of Drishane, I select River as my new gentleman!” Iannounced.
As the cheers died down and the crowd dispersed, I caught Klyn’s stare as he clapped along. I raised an eyebrow at him, and he mirrored my cockedeyebrow.
“Klyn, you knew that River was a good possibility,” I said under my breath as I walked beside Klyn to thecarriage.
“Yes, you are right, my Queen. I did know that there was a good chance you would select River,” he said in a clippedtone.
“I hope that you will be able to learn to likehim?”
“I plan on learning everything I can about your new young gentleman, my Queen,” Klyn curtly added as he gestured for me to enter thecarriage.
I did not enjoy it when Klyn referred to me as the Queen, or when he would say, ‘my Queen.’ When he did that, it was as though he was separating our friendship with hisduty.
On the ride back to the castle with the gentlemen, the boys all introduced themselves to River. Now it was River’s turn to tell us a bit abouthimself.
“I do not know where I was born; I am somewhat of an orphan. I knew of my father, but that he wanted nothing to do with me. I spent a lot of time moving around. Sometimes a family would keep me for a while, and when they grew tired of me, I would move onto the next one. I was working in the apothecary,” River said and then smiled. “But now that is not necessaryanymore.”
About halfway to the castle, I started to feel very warm and felt as though I wasoverheating.
“You alright, my Queen?” Michan asked above the otherconversations.
I nodded and blinked a few times. The other conversations ceasedimmediately.
“Queen?” Seanasked.
I held my hand up so they would stop asking me if I was alright, but none of them seemed to take thehint.
“Queen, what is the matter,” Ethanasked.
“Sorry, boys. No need to be alarmed, I felt very warm for a moment or two. It has passed,” Iconfirmed.
“Maybe it is the close proximity of all of us in the carriage,” Liamsuggested.
Liam was right. There were six of us in the carriage, and I sat between River and Sean, while Liam, Ethan, and Michan sat across from us. When the carriage stopped in front of the castle, I was eager to get into the fresh air. The carriage that Klyn rode in stopped behind ours, and Klyn got out and joined me on thesteps.
“Gentlemen, take River to your quarters and please show him where he will sleep. Show him the washroom as well. When you have finished, please meet me in myroom.”
