“The control I’m referring to will be a third party. I do not plan to be a tyrant or a dictator. The government I wish to set up will be a conglomeration of voices from all races. You and I will only be a part of it, and if you are chosen as general of our armies, then you’ll still have to answer to that council. Again, this is a deal-breaker. Take it or leave it.”
“You’re pushing your luck,” he muttered.
I might be, but I wouldn’t let him take control of this world. I was here to depose dictators, not set up new ones.
“Agreed?” I pressed.
“Fine!” he hissed. “That better be it.”
“Nope, one more condition and I’m fairly certain you’re not going to like it.”
Oh… wow. His glower was intense. He stepped in, looming over me, very close. I didn’t give an inch. It was a pain to crane my neck to look up at him, but I wouldn’t give him any room.
In fact, I stepped in too, which brough my body so very close to his. My rather prominent chest brushed over his abdomen, roughly level with his bellybutton. Koar had said not to try to seduce Bayn last night, and I was fairly certain this stand-off was anything but a seduction, but I still couldn’t help taking areally deepbreath, pressing my breasts against him.
Something shifted, caressing the underside of my bust, and it was everything I could do not to break eye contact with Bayn as I realized exactly what was moving beneath his clothes.
Don’t think about his dick. Don’t think about his dick. Don’t think about… God! It must be huge!
I took a hard, dry-throated swallow, then finally spokeup, breaking the silence and the iron-corded tension between us.
“The marriage is ononly ifyou can bring the titans to our side. You can tell them you’ll be king, or even that youareking, but nothing official will happen on my end until the titans are here and ready to fight. Prove you can bring the army you say you can bring and the marriage is on. I will not give you anything untilafteryou give it to me first.”
And wow, that last sentence had come out a little huskier than I’d hoped.
“Oh, I’ll give it to you,” Bayn growled, shifting in a tad more. Now, his thick-as-a-wine-bottle cock was pressed to my stomach. I had my head all the way back, looking up over his mountainous chest to meet his gaze. Was there a huskiness in his voice as well?
Koar might have been right about Bayn’s feelings. There was more than a little sexual tension mixed in with our normaltwo-alphas-fighting-for-dominancetension.
“And I’ll takeeverythingyou’ve got,” I sassed right back. Oh… wait… I probably shouldn’t have said that, especiallyhowI’d said it. I quickly added, “Afteryou bring me the titans.”
His cock twitched, pulsing against my stomach and tickling the undersides of my breasts.
Was it hot in here? Because I was hot and he was hot, and if one of us didn’t break soon, I had a feeling we’d end up tearing each other’s clothes off.
I didn’t give.
Neither did he.
BAYN
I wantednothing more than to tear the clothes off this infuriating woman and show her exactly what I could give her. Maybe then, once I’d stretched her beyond her limits and given her pleasure like no man ever had, she’d submit to me and let me have my way.
And I wasn’t entirely sure she didn’t want me to do just that.
She’d been the one to get close enough for our bodies to touch, her breasts pressed to my abdomen. I really shouldn’t have gotten any closer than that, but I’d not been able to help myself. Feeling my cock touch the underside of her breasts had been the most deliciously sensual thing I’d felt in averylong time.
In the hundred years since Osserime’s betrayal, I’d been with only a handful of women. But, since I couldn’t trust they wouldn’t take advantage of me while my defenses were down, like she had, I insisted they be restrained. Bondage — on their part — was the only way I felt comfortable being intimate.
And I didn’t think Izzy would ever submit to me. I had astrong suspicion she needed to be in charge, in control, dominating. And yet… maybe I was wrong. Maybe that was the face she showed to the world and in private she was all sighs and submission, with ropes tied around her limbs, stretching her taut, her legs pulled wide and her glistening pussy…
…was way off topic.
What were we talking about?
Oh right. Kingship and armies, who would break first and show weakness in this face-off.
Honestly, her terms weren’t horrible. Having other prince consorts, or a harem or whatever wouldn’t harm me in any way. I was man enough to know I could please her as well as any other,ifshe ever came to our marriage bed.
