His hand slipped between them.
Silver fingers spreading across her belly, just to feel the obscene bulge. Where the head of his cock worked to distort the shape of her belly.
Claiming what was inside.
And then this thumb… drifted.
Landed on the swollen bud nestled between those stretched lips of her cunt.
To make her clench, of course.
To feel those velvet inner walls squeeze. Milking him.
It was strategic. Selfish. Nothing at all to do with the way her pupils had ballooned, yawning wide enough to swallow that pretty ring of color. Absolutely not the way her lips parted and her brow furrowed when he worked that little pearl.
No.
This was biological.
Breeding.
A function of winning the Chain of Breath.
His right.
He circled her clit at the base.
Clenching with a vicious force, she made a sound.
A keening wail, high at the back of her throat.
It was music.
Pure, unfiltered Siren.
A beacon.
One she’d just broadcast to the entire Black Sea and every Pelagorn within it.
Her body convulsed, climax detonating. And through her veins, a visible wave of violet flames. The Queen’s Lightning surging to life as her thighs—her gruesome, heinous legs—locked tight around his waist.
Helplessly entranced, Thalos followed her and did not blink. Pumping a second load of royal sperm inside her, unable to tear his eyes from the spectacle of this creature.
This glorious, wretched creature.
CHAPTER 18
He'd arrived too late and just in time.
Behind him, the entire Hollow Courtandthe Deep. Warriors andVirelii, all gathered in a loose twisting vortex to watch. Bearing witness to the Shallow King's claim. The scent of cum and blood was already in the water—but his precious living flame, the glorious beating heart of his heretical kingdom—wasalive.
Eyes glassy, bottomless voids as she fought the thrall of Thalos' venom.
But alive.
And so instead of launching into bloodshed, Nyxarion snarled, his eyes moving to the wounds weeping at Kore's nape. Opposite to the mark he'd left on her delicate throat.
Mapping the damage of claws where Thalos had gripped her too tight.
