With his other hand, he gripped Sol’s hip and pulled her back against him. His thigh pressed between her legs again, right against her aching core.
“Oh!” she gasped.
And it wasn’t just that it felt so good, but in her village she had been a Lowly—someone constantly scowled at, despised, and pushed away.
No one had ever pulled her close like this.
Those golden eyes brightened. “Do you like that?”
“Y-yes.”
His voice grew rough and dark. "You can rub some more. Don't stop on my account."
Sol's face burned. "No. I can't. I shouldn't have. . ."
“I am yours to please, queen.”
“I. . .” The word queen still didn't fit right in her ears. Like a dress made for someone taller, prettier, and more worthy. But the way he said it, made her want to grow into it.
"Your nipples are hard." His gaze dropped to her breasts. "Your body's on fire. And you were making the sweetest sounds in your sleep."
Sol's breath hitched. She almost covered herself. Old instinct. The Lowly in her still expected disgust when someone looked too long.
Korin licked his lips. Slowly. Like he was already tasting her. "Go ahead, little queen. Rub that pussy on my thigh."
Those filthy words shot straight to her core.
She shouldn't.
She couldn't.
This would be too naughty.
But her hips moved on their own, rocking forward and dragging her slick heat against his thigh.
Pleasure spiked through her.
And within her core, she felt her beast move.
She blinked. Her beast pressed against her ribs like it wanted out and to get closer to him.
I’ll have to get used to. . .her inside of me.
Sol’s hands went to Korin’s chest to steady herself, and she felt the heat of him beneath her palms. The hard planes of muscle. The steady thrum of his heartbeat.
"That's it." Korin slid his fingers down her spine. "Feels good, doesn't it?"
It felt better than good.
It was incredible.
Sol rocked again. Harder this time. Her clit dragged against his thigh, and she whimpered.
Korin licked his lips again. "I can make you feel even better than that."
He leaned in and caught her earlobe between his teeth, then nibbled and sucked.
Sol's entire body arched.
