“There are humans in the courtyard?” My eyes went wide.
“You don't want to see that,” Hugo warned me. “Just know that you have it the best out of all of them. Your new job is to make the King happy. Succeed at it, and you'll be happy too.”
“It's not like I have a choice,” I grumbled.
“You have plenty of choices,” he corrected me. “You could be bitchy, difficult, and unpleasant, or you could do as that idiot Finella suggested and suck His Majesty's cock like it's never been sucked before.”
“Charming.” I rolled my eyes.
“Hey, bitch; you'd best listen to me if you want to live through this,” Hugo snapped. “I can show you the courtyard if you don't believe me.”
My eyes widened, and I nodded.
“That's better,” he toned it down. “I really am trying to help you. This isn't your world, in case you haven't noticed. Your entire existence depends on King Drostan's favor. I suggest you keep within his good graces in any way that you can. I mean, don't go all pansy on him; show him a little backbone—he likes that. But don't be difficult either; you understand? Choose your battles—that's lesson number three; Know when to fight and when to fuck. If he wants you on your knees, and you don't want to do it; make a minor protest but give in, girl. You can make him feel your ire later, in more subtle ways. That's the trick of a courtesan.”
“A courtesan,” I murmured. “Isn't that a whore?”
“Girl, what the fuck do you think you are?”
I swallowed past the lump in my throat as chills raced over my body. He was right; I had bartered myself for my sister's life. Drostan had never minced words; he said I'd be a sex slave and that made me a whore. It just hadn't sunk in yet.
“Hey, now!” Hugo jumped off the butter dish and strode over to me. “Don't be a fucking pussy! I've been watching you, and I thought I saw something strong in you; that's why I came to your defense. So what if you're a whore? We're all whores, girl! Everyone fucks to get something; be it money, safety, love, or even just get off. It doesn't make you less of a woman or less important than any other person here. Except where King Drostan is concerned,” he amended. “Drostan is definitely more important than the rest of us. But still; you shouldn't feel ashamed to be his concubine. In fact; you should be proud. Look at those bitches!” He waved his hand around the hall at all of the venomous looks I was receiving. “They all wish they were you. Any of them would give up their status in this court just to be Drostan's plaything. But you; you're his concubine, and that holds more weight than you know. Our king chose you to be his sexual partner; only you. In our society, that's nearly unheard of.”
“What?” I whispered. “But he made it seem like this happened all the time.”
“Humans being taken to Tirne to be slaves; sure.” Hugo nodded. “Being taken to be a king's personal slave—hisonlyslave—not so much.”
“His only slave?”
“You don't see any other girls sucking him off, do you?” Hugo huffed. “King Drostan used to have droves of concubines. Then a few months ago, he sent them all away. The whole damn court had been wondering why he did it when suddenly, he strides in with you. No explanation, no introduction; just you walking around by his side and eating from his hand. That's when we realized that he was clearing his stables to bring in a prize filly.”
“But Drostan said that he wanted me because I wouldn't be able to refuse him,” I sputtered. “He made it seem like I would be...”
“What?” Hugo lifted his little brows. “Like you would be a sex slave? You are, honey. But a king can make any woman of his court into his concubine. He didn't have to go to Earth to find a sex slave, and he sure as shit didn't need to choose you in particular. You're more special than you know.”
“Well, fuck me,” I whispered.
“Yeah; I think that was the point.”
A commotion at the end of the hall kept me from responding. It was three women and one man. The women were leading the man into the room on a chain that was attached to a collar around his neck. He was naked, human, and glassy-eyed. He was also incredibly sexy; buff, blond, and oh so beautiful. The court cheered when they saw him, and the fairy women waved grandly to the crowd as they pulled him forward.
“Oh, here we go,” Hugo huffed. “The fucking festivities are about to begin. Pay attention, Riley; this is what usually happens to humans in the Unseelie Court.”
“Yeah; I've already seen the show,” I muttered.
“You haven't seen this one,” Hugo said grimly.
With Hugo's words, a shiver went down my spine, but I continued to watch avidly as the women led the man into the center of the room. They stopped right before the high table. I had the best view in the hall.
The women started rubbing the man all over; stroking him into arousal. He moaned in delight and kissed the women when they offered him their lips. The court cheered them on, and soon the foursome was completely naked and writhing on the floor. One woman was spread over the man's face; grinding her pussy against his eager mouth. Another woman rode his cock, and the last one sucked his balls.
I swallowed past a dryness in my throat.
The woman riding the human man began to shift. Scales burst along her skin, claws extended from her fingers, and a tail sprouted from her back. The woman licking his balls moved away with a grin. It was to make room for the pointed tip of the snake-woman's tail, which angled down—between the man's legs—and slid into his ass. He cried out in ecstasy as the snake-woman fucked him in two ways at once.
The fairies of the court were on their feet; clapping and calling out suggestions to the women. The snake-woman came with an undulating motion and a low scream. Shortly afterward, the woman riding the man's face moaned out her pleasure. As the face-rider climbed off, the last woman laid back and spread her legs. The man fell on her savagely; thrusting into her like he was possessed. The other two women closed in around the copulating couple and rubbed themselves against the man. Then they invited the members of the court to join them.
A tall, thin, fairy man went forward; removing his hard member from his pants as he walked. One woman spread the human man's ass cheeks as the other rubbed her hand over her pussy and then over the fairy man's cock. Both women watched avidly as the fairy male slid his lubricated cock up the man's ass. The human man kept pumping into his partner as the fairy man took up a solid position; letting the human drive himself back on his cock every time he pulled out of the woman.
