“This is what you want to do, Grave? You’re really going to fight me for some land-wielding cunt?” He panted. “I can get you five of them. Far better looking too!”
I swung for his head, but he pulled back, dodging the tip of my blade. Keeping my eyes set on my target, I tried not to take his bait.
“You know she’s a great fuck.” Ryder grinned, dodging another swing of my sword. “That swirling thing she does on the tip of my dick is really something.”
“It sure is.” I smiled back, egging him on. “But her mouth is only a close second to her pussy. I guess I owe you for sending her running into my arms.”
Ryder grimaced. “Is that what this is? A good lay? I’ve had plenty that are better.”
“She’s better than your sister.” I smiled. “What are your thoughts on the matter? I’m sure you’ve fucked her too.”
His lip curled up as if he’d smelled a sour jar of milk.
I lunged forward aiming for his stomach, but narrowly missed as he stepped back. He might’ve been shit at meeting his mark, but he was efficient at evading mine.
“I had my hands on her last night. Maris and she were divine in their endeavors to please me,” he continued. “Audryn choked when my dick went down her throat. She likes it when she can’t breathe, just like today.”
Watching his hands around her neck was more than I could take; thinking about it only fueled me further. I swung fiercely, anger raging behind my movements. Audryn could kill his father, but Ryder was mine. I missed the target and regained my footing.
“You know Audryn’s mated to me, right?” Ryder’s eyes narrowed. “I needed to draw on help from one of your kind in order to get the bond.” Ryder swung and sliced open the upper area of my non-sword arm. “But it doesn’t matter. She’s connected to me forever. Her pussy will forever remain wrapped around my dick while you’ll be left with your hand.”
“What an image,” Leanna deadpanned from the left. “Spare us the visual, Brother. Nobody wants to imagine your dickanywhere.”
I bit back a chuckle before swinging again, hitting the same arm I’d struck minutes earlier.
“Choose a different target.” Ryder winced. “And a different woman.”
“Never going to happen,” I grunted as I struck his leg.
“Now don’t be a liar, Grave,” Leanna mused.
“Are you going to help me?” Ryder hissed. “Or?—”
“Nope.” Leanna popped the P in the word and placed her hands on her hips.
The man was such an asshole that his own sister refused toaid him. I wondered how many times he’d put his hands on her too.
I moved to the side, putting Leanna directly behind Ryder. The two could easily combine forces against me, and I’d be outmatched. King Sutton had trained his daughter steadily over the years. Even in the evening, when she thought nobody was looking, she’d been in the ring sparring with her husband.
“Find your own bitch!” Ryder swung, striking my forearm. “Audryn is mine.”
Face heated, I moved quickly, but he was still faster than most of my blows. If we dropped our swords, I’d win, no doubt. But I remained unsuccessful in my attempts to dislodge his weapon.
Ryder’s wide eyes met mine before they shot down at the blade that had slid through his back and protruded from his chest. It took too long for me to realize what had happened. He dropped to his knees gasping, leaving Leanna standing behind him with her head tilted sideways as she stared down at her brother blankly.
Her eyes slowly drew up to me. “I grew tired of waiting, and the throne was always meant to be mine.” She kicked a healed boot into his back, pushing Ryder face first into the dirt.
“Well, that’s one way to get it.” I huffed and shook my head. The two were brutal, yet witches were said to be the evil ones.
She wiped the spray of blood from her arms casually. “I have no issue with you, but for reasons I’m sure you’ll understand, you’ll be named as my brother’s killer.”
“So be it.” I shrugged. “I’m only bothered that I get such an honor without having accomplished the task.”
“You can stab him for good measure.” She raised a brow.
“No need.” My lips pursed. “Though, areweto fight next?”
“Me?” She theatrically put a hand over her chest. “I’m just a defenseless woman. You killed my brother and I ran away.”
