“I could fit my whole hand in there,” Snow said, surprised with how wide Shen remained.
“Save that for another afternoon,” Shen said before lowering his legs and breathing a sigh of relief.
“My hand? Inside you?” Snow asked, wide-eyed.
“Oh, yes,” Shen said. “Fisting can be quite stimulating.”
Vor lifted a fist, and Shen wagged a finger side to side. “Not that fist.” Shen paused, eyeing Vor’s massive hand. “Not without plenty of practice and stretching. Add that to your consent list.”
“Added,” Vor murmured, lowering his hand.
Snow lay down beside Shen and snuggled close. “Hwa might be sad he missed all our fun.”
“He may be my best friend, but there are things I prefer doing without him,” Shen said before pressing a gentle kiss to Snow’s brow. “I’d feeling a bit selfish when it comes to sharing the two of you with Hwa and Owan, if I’m being honest.”
“I’ve noticed the two of them have been spending a lot more time together as of late,” Snow said.
“As have I,” Shen said. “Hwa spoke of leaving to rejoin his adventures in the near future. From the sounds of it, Owan might be his preferred travel partner now.”
“I’ve always wanted to go on a journey and see the world,” Snow said. “I’m so jealous of what the two of you experienced.”
“What’s stopping you from taking a journey?” Vor asked Snow as he rested his back against the side of the bed.
“Before you, it was being an unmated omega.” Snow tried to keep his excitement down, hoping he wasn’t misunderstanding Vor’s intentions. “Now? I suppose it will depend on my mate and his fondness for travel.”
“I just learned that I died for a couple of days and somehow returned to the land of the living. If that’s not a sign that I should experience as much as I possibly can before I die again, I don’t know what else is.” Vor smiled broadly. “I would be honored to accompany my mate on a grand world tour.”
“Great,”Shen said. “You’reallgoing to leave me.”
“We’ll need you with us, of course,” Vor said, taking one of Shen’s hands and linking their fingers. “Who else could show us Bharat better than you?” He scoffed. “You’ve seen much more of the world than either of us have, so I’m sure I can speak for Snow when I humbly beg you to come with us.”
“Yes, Shen,” Snow said, his heart fuller than he could’ve ever imagined it. “You simply must come.”
Shen looked between them a few times. “I suppose I would make an excellent tour guide.” He grinned, his white teeth gleaming against his bronzed skin. “I would love to see more of Ifriqiya, too, if either of you might be interested?”
“Oh, yes,” Snow said. “My birth papa has ancestors from North Ifriqiya.”
Shen pulled on one of Snow’s ringlets and released it, allowing it to bounce. “I’mnotsurprised.”
“I’d love to see where my bloodline has traveled from,” Snow said. “Count me in for a tour of Ifriqiya.” Snow turned to their dominant. “Have you interest there?”
“I have interest in whatever you are interested in,” Vor replied. “As long as we’re together, I will be at peace.”
Snow rose onto his knees and leaned closer, giving his mate a kiss.
“My only concern is your father,” Shen said. “Will he allow you to travel so far from home?”
“I’ll soon be a mated omega,” Snow replied, sliding his arm through Vor’s. “There’s not too much he can say to stop us, can he?”
“He’s the king,” Shen said, rolling his eyes.
“If he has concerns, I’ll tell him it would be smart for me to have knowledge of the world before I sat upon the throne.”
“Sat upon the throne?”Both Shen and Vor asked, wide-eyed.
Vor eyed him closely. “You’re an omega.”
“Yes, but Kleeve-Burgh has had several omega kings in our expansive history. We’re one of the rare kingdoms that doesn’t always pass the crown to the eldest alpha relative, not that we have one if we did. I was an only child and all of my cousins in Francia are omegas, as well. It was either make me the heir or choose my uncle who wed into the family and isn’t a bloodrelative. Andno onelikes my uncle very much.” Snow smiled at Vor. “You’ll be the next Prince Consort.”
