I narrowed my eyes.
“You said you wanted to be on top.”
I nodded.
“I want you to sit on my face.”
I shook my head, but my limbs had a mind of their own. I sat up and swung my leg over so I straddled his chest. Phaan. The heat of him along my sensitive skin was almost enough to undo me right there.
Ace growled and gripped my butt with both hands. He hauled me forward.
“You’re going to suffocate,” I warned.
“If I die, I die,” he said.
I straddled him, rubbing myself along his lips. I rocked forward, sinking into the position with Ace’s face between my thighs. He kneaded my ass as he clamped his mouth on my tender skin and sucked.
He pulled back long enough to growl at me. “Ride my face, Mouse.”
I rocked forward again, doing as ordered as he used his tongue and lips to make my head spin. I reached forward and held onto the headboard. He groaned into me, licking and tasting. I opened my legs more, drenching his face as I moved in tune to his mouth.
Heat spread through my body and the friction stirred a deep need inside me until I couldn’t contain it anymore. I erupted with pleasure, my movements spastic. My legs clamped onto him as I arched and threw my head back. A scream slipped past my lips and if I had been a magical creature, I would’ve erupted into fire.
Ace’s lips quirked under me, and he used his strength to move me from his mouth and set me down lower.
My legs quivered. My heart raced. I panted as I fought to control my breathing.
Ace’s wicked grin spread across his face. Instead of saying anything, he lifted me over his cock. I reached down and guided him in, his thickness filling and stretching me, feeding the delicious ache. I straddled him, his cock deep inside me, his hands gripping my waist and kneading my skin. Our gaze met, his flashing with wolf gold.
I opened my legs a little wider, taking him as deep as I could, and rocked my hips forward. The slide of his thick shaft inside me had us both groaning. He felt so good. He felt like he was made to make me forget all my problems.
“Ride me, Em,” he growled. Using his hands on my hips to lift me a little. “Take my cock. Take it like you were meant for it.”
I slammed down on him and rocked back and forth, “Like this?”
“Phaan yes.” He dropped his head back, but kept his hands on my hips, holding me in place as he thrust up to meet me. Our bodies slapped together as I rode him, creating a rhythm just for us until I was losing myself to the pleasure and taking Ace along with me.

A light drizzle of rain pitter-pattered on the roof as I blinked the sleep away from my eyes. I could’ve stayed in bed with Ace all day, but after we slept, it was time to get up and figure out our next steps.
Heat spread across my face.
Well, our next steps had actually involved staying in bed, but after Ace was done working my body and making me utter all sorts of unholy sounds, it was now time to make a plan.
After getting up and finding dry clothes, I’d managed to pry out the wet map and letter we discovered at O’Reilly’s house. The ink hadn’t run and the paper remained intact. The papers now hung from clips in front of the roaring fireplace along with our drenched clothing.
Ace slid the hot drink along the table’s surface in front of me. “What now?”
I thanked him for the coffee and wrapped my hands around the warm mug. “I don’t know. I think we need more information.”
“About what?”
“Everything.”
“Don’t you think we should report this to the queen first?”
I pressed my lips together and watched the steam lift off the surface of the drink. “How? We either trust Blake to deliver a message or go personally, which means trusting the palace guards and the royals.”
