She swallowed and slipped her fingertips along it. His shaft was hard but velvety to the touch. It was real, not like the monstrous one in her dream, but still terrifying in its own way.
His hand stilled over hers. “You feel how hard it is?”
“Yes.”
“That's what you do to me, Sol.”
She bit her bottom lip and could feel the power beneath her fingers—his length twitched under her hesitant touch, and she withdrew her hand as if she’d been scalded.
“No, don’t pull away.” His voice was thick with need, and it sent shivers down her spine. His hand was firm on hers, keeping it in place.
She didn't resist.
She looked down again, watching her hand move over him. His ridged length pulsed under her palm, and she couldn't help but gasp at the sight. She saw the head of his cock peeking from under his heavy hand, the slit at the top leaking a glistening drop. “What is that?”
“My arousal for you. My seed. It wants to be inside of you.”
“Why?”
“To make babies.”
“I’m not ready for that.”
“You will be.” Korin slowly guided her fingers up his cock. "I can put this inside you, queen."
She shivered in desire and looked at it. "But. . .this won't fit."
Korin's lips curved into a wicked smile. "I can definitely make it fit."
"But—"
"I promise you." His hand covered hers, guiding her to stroke him once. Twice. "I can make it fit. I'll just take my time."
Sol's pulse hammered in her throat. "Will it hurt?"
Korin's expression softened. "A little. But not so bad. And after. . ."
His thumb brushed across her knuckles. "After, it'll feel so good you'll forget the hurt ever happened."
Sol's mind was spinning. She turned her head to look for Pyrran.
The other side of the bed was empty.
"Where's your brother?"
Korin raised an eyebrow. "You mean your other king?"
Sol flushed. "Yes. Where is the murderous king?"
"I believe Pyrran is on a mission."
"What sort of mission?"
"One with the goal to make you happy."
Sol blinked. "How would he do that?"
"There are ways." Korin's hand slid up her thigh and his fingers traced patterns on her skin. "Ways to earn forgiveness. Ways to prove himself worthy of you."
