“If you say so.” I winked at him.
“I've had tents prepared for all of you,” Tae said to our guests. “Just let one of my knights know when you're ready to retire.”
Our guests thanked Tae as we strode away, two of his knights falling into place behind us. I teased him all the way back to our tent, rubbing his ass, kneading his back, and even brushing his cock a few times.
“If you don't stop that, I'll make you into the spectacle you're trying to be,” Tae whispered to me.
As much as the thought of fucking him in front of an audience excited me, I didn't actually want to be put on display that night. So, I sighed dramatically and stopped. But it didn't matter. We arrived at his tent a few minutes later and as soon as we were past the entry flap, we began yanking off our clothing, using bursts of magic to help us.
One of the brilliant things about shapeshifting is that every change is as good as a shower; filth just falls off you when you shift. So, even though we had just fought in a battle, neither of us was dirty. All Tae smelled of was himself—a rich, amber-like sweetness with a hint of feathers. I breathed it in deep.
“Come here, mate.” Tae picked me up and carried me to bed. He laid me down atop the blankets, then covered my body with his. Once he had me where he wanted me, his expression went surprisingly grim. “You scared me today.”
“I did?”
“When you dove for that Goblin.” He kissed my jaw. “I told you not to leave my side.”
“Are you really giving me shit for that?”
“No. Just confessing how scared I was when I saw you plummeting toward that creature.”
“I'm sorry,” I whispered.
“You did what you were compelled to do. But, sweet Goddess, Shane, I don't want to ever be that scared again.”
“You don't have to.” I stroked his cheek. “You felt it tonight, didn't you?”
“Our love?” Tae lifted a brow. “I didn't need magic to feel that.”
“No, ourpower.” I laid my palm on his chest, right over his heart. “We are so strong together. I'm not afraid anymore, Tae. I will stand at the front of your army beside you and face whatever the Farungal send our way, confident in the knowledge that we can do anything together. And with the help of the other warlords and valorians, I know we can end this war.”
Taeven smiled. “Be that as it may, I still don't want you leaving my side in battle. Even more so now.” He stroked my cheek. “We're strongertogether. Remember that.”
“I will.” I wriggled beneath him. “In fact, I'm feeling particularly strong right now.”
I pushed Tae onto his back and started kissing my way down his chest, pausing to nibble his nipples. His ardent groans encouraged me and my kisses became licks and then nuzzles as I settled between his thighs.
“Shane, I need to be inside you now,” he murmured.
“No, you're going to wait and let me havemyway this time,” I insisted with a grin. Then that grin widened as I spread my lips around him.
We groaned together as his shaft filled my mouth, the salty taste of his arousal spiking my pleasure. I pushed down on that hard flesh, taking him as deep as I could, then called nectar to my hand to rub over the base. Just a little something I'd learned at school.
“Shane!” Tae's hand slid into my hair and squeezed.
I moved faster over him as I ground my cock into the blankets. That plump head was like heaven in my mouth; I could suck at it all night. I licked and laved, then went back to consuming him until he was nearly mad with need. Then I moved downward.
“Oh, fuck!” Tae shouted as I sucked at his velvety sacs.
They tightened in my mouth, and I moaned around them as I brushed my forehead against his cock, loving the way it twitched against me.
“If you don't ride me soon, I'm going to—”
His words cut off as I abruptly lifted his legs and shoved my tongue into his ass.
“Holy Mother!” Taeven cried out.
I shoved my tongue deep, mashing my face against him, and Tae took his legs from me to pull them back further and open himself to me. I grinned against his flesh and shoved deeper. In and out, plunging into that tightness. It gave me such a naughty feeling, nearly as good as fucking in front of an audience. Then I groaned as I thought about doing this while someone watched us. Pushing the Falcon Lord's legs up high so our voyeur could see Tae's puckered hole as I licked and tongue-fucked it. Oh, yeah, that was a good fantasy; I'd tell him about it later. At the moment, he was a little too anxious for fantasies.
