She felt Cahir tense against her, and his magic thickened around them. She reached up to brush along his back, trying to calm him and the situation.
“Are you certain? I’ve never tried Fae, but I hear it’s quite delicious.”
“No, Elco, and I’m not injured. Quite the opposite, actually.” She felt her cheeks heat. Did she really admit that out loud?
Elco’s eyes shifted from Cahir to her and back again. He slanted them further and pressed his nose against Cahir’s shield, smushing it into the green layer of mist that prevented him from passing—anobvious threat.
“Tell him this shield will donothingto stop me. Tell him if he ever hurts you,ever, he’ll be mine to savor.”
She cleared her throat. “I’ll tell him. I appreciate your concern, but I’m very much okay.”
He growled once more and slowly backed away, leaving the room. The guards who were watching over Seda’s door came rushing in, gasping. Cahir quickly grabbed the blanket and threw it over Seda.
“Sire! We tried to stop him, but he knocked us over!” They glanced between Cahir and Seda and quickly looked away, one running a hand over their neck. “I see both of us and the Lionne have intruded. Our apologies. If you don’t need us, we’ll be on our way.”
“Find someone to fix the doors,” Cahir commanded. “We’ll move to her room for the remainder of the night.”
They both bowed and exited the room.
“I should find my clothes,” Seda said. She didn’t want to walk the hallway with others outside, only to be draped in a blanket.
Cahir shifted off the bed and stood guard at the broken doorway, unaffected by the visible bulge in his pants, while Seda searched for her clothing. She found them on the floor and shook out the wood shards.
Cahir grabbed a fresh pair of underwear and picked her up bridal style, carrying her over the mess into her hallway. She looked over and saw that Elco had not only busted down Cahir’s doors but also his own. Roya, Ferona, Askold, and Benny stood in the hall with their mouths hanging open. Roya and Ferona had their claws out and ready to fight.
“I’m okay! It was just a misunderstanding,” she told them, noticing Benny’s smirk forming. Both Ferona and Roya quickly looked down at Cahir’s bulge, their eyes widening at the realization of what happened.
Embarrassment burned her cheeks. She heard multiple Fae running down the hall to clean up the mess, but Cahir walkedthrough her doorway and slammed the door shut behind him, muffling the noise in the hall. He laid her on her bed and carefully removed her shorts and underwear again.
“There might be more debris in those,” he said as he stared down at her, a devious smile forming across his face.
“Uh-huh…sure,” she replied with a forced laugh, trying to move past what just happened and the embarrassment burning through her stomach.
She watched him as he gazed at her with love, the green orbs fluttering above through the glass ceiling, emphasizing his eye color.
Seda had no words to describe what she had just experienced. Was this what sex was supposed to be like? Her only experience was vastly different.
She hadn’t touched herself or felt those sensations before. She always refrained from anything in that regard, ever since she was younger. Sure, she had imaginary crushes on the men from her books, and she loved the excitement that brewed low in her stomach when she reached the chapters where the main characters shared a kiss, and sometimes more, but this was completely new.
She loved it. She wantedmore.
“Wow…” she breathlessly whispered to Cahir, who was watching her with a dimpled grin. Her heart melted as she got lost in his beautiful emerald eyes. “What about you?”
Cahir removed his shirt and lay next to her on the bed. She couldn’t help but stare at the defined muscles of his abdomen, trailing her eyes lower, and noticing his rather large erection pressing against his pants. A wet spot was clearly visible through the fabric.
“I may have enjoyed that a lot, as well,” he said with a wide grin.
Her eyes went wide. “How?—”
“You’re so fucking perfect, Sed. You have no idea. I feel like I’m in heaven right now.”
She felt a blush creep across her chest and cheeks as he shifted himself closer to her on the bed. He nuzzled into her, and she hesitantly reached down and touched his length through his pants.
He hissed into her ear and shifted away from her. “You do that, Seda, and I’ll wantmore. We need sleep.”
He adjusted himself near her again, and she slowly ran her fingers down the ridges of his stomach, watching as he shuddered and the muscles of his stomach clenched. She trailed lower and brushed her fingertips over the top of his erection once more, and he hissed again, this time not moving away.
She looked into his burning eyes, his pupils dilated, and licked her lips. He caught the moment and watched as her tongue slid across them. She slowly swirled the tip of her finger around his hardened length, and he groaned, pressing his eyes closed. She continued to swirl her fingertip, trying to catch it every time it jerked away.
