A long, low moan escaped her when my tongue traced up her pussy to her clit.
Then I was giving her the soft, relentless circles she liked best, never slowing, never changing pace or pressure, until she was rocking against me, until her thighs were crushing the side of my head as she got closer and closer.
When she came, it was my name on her lips.
“Lie back for me,” I demanded as I kissed back down her thigh.
She was quick to obey, looking up at me with hazy eyes when I rose over her. I pushed her buttons free, then spread the material wide, exposing her completely.
The cool air washed over her breasts, making her nipples twist into tight buds.
I leaned down, teasing her with lips, tongue, and teeth until she was whimpering and trembling.
“Jet, please.”
“Please, what?” I asked, standing between her spread legs, teasing her with my thumb as my cock pressed hard against the material of my pants.
“Please fuck me,” she said, making a low groan escape me.
“How do you want it? Slow? Sweet? Hard?”
Serin folded up, her gaze on me as she reached to free my cock from my pants. She stroked me once, twice, then angled her head.
“Take me how you want me.”
A groan escaped me as I grabbed her, pulling her off the desk, turning her, then pushing her over it.
“Like this?” she asked, breathless, surprised.
“Just like this,” I confirmed, pushing up her shirt to expose her round ass.
I grabbed my cock, teasing it between her lips until she was wriggling against me. Only when she whimpered in need did I press deep inside her, cursing as her hot walls tightened around my cock.
I never gave a fuck about things like monogamy or virginity or anyone’s history before. But some part of me loved that Serin was mine and only mine, that I got to be the one to show her all the ways she could experience pleasure, all the different positions she could be put in and how different they felt.
The low, long moan that escaped Serin as I settled deep. There was no chance of keeping control over myself then. I grabbed her hips as I started to fuck her.
Her moans, my groans, and the sounds of our bodies slamming together rose up and filled the room.
The louder she moaned, the harder I fucked her, until we were both crying out as we came.
I pulled her with me back into my chair afterward.
“That might be my favorite,” she decided, sounding sleepy and sated.
“Yeah? Wait until you try riding me, but facing away from me.”
“Mmm,” she murmured, nuzzling into my neck. “Something to look forward to tonight.”
“Yeah,” I agreed. And I realized that for the first time in months, maybe years, there was something to look forward to. Without strings. Without worries. Without anxiety.
“But first… the tournament,” she said, sounding excited.
“But first, the tournament,” I agreed, decidedly less enthused.
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Serin
My uniform for public events seemed to be, well, black. So I was wearing another black gown as I was led across the expansive grounds of the palace toward an area I’d never explored before. The severity of the black was broken up by an elaborate beaded embroidery design in white and light blue across the bodice and around the hem of the skirt.
There was a crown on my head and a small vial of my poison up my sleeve.
I’d done my little test on the redcaps. I’d taken a few mushrooms from my lunch, coated them in the liquid, and dropped it down from our bedroom window to where a few of the redcaps were standing around.
Unsurprisingly, a few of them gathered them up to eat.
I hadn’t gotten to see them get sick as they’d wandered back into the palace afterward. But I’d heard from Vishen and Jet that some of the redcaps had to be carried out on gurneys because they were so sick. No one thought anything of it. Apparently, redcaps weren’t smart enough to avoid berries and mushrooms that weren’t safe to eat.
I hoped that meant no one would draw a connection to what happened to them… and what might happen to someone else if it came to that.
“Wow, it’s huge,” I said as we reached the clearing in the woods.
The trees cleared to a massive round area where the ground was cleared of grass.
Around one-third of the circle was a raised area with seating and tables. On the remaining two-thirds, there was a rope to keep the common fae out of the arena while they observed.
Nira and Vishen moved to our sides as some of the crowd turned and saw us approaching.
But the palace guard moved forward, creating a living wall between us and the people as we made our way to the steps up to the dais.
Most of the important guests were already seated, making us need to pause at each table so Jet could greet everyone. I stood there silently, watching the contestants in the games chatting with each other.
