There’s heavy mist at the entrance, and we hurry through it to the other side. The waterfall plunging from the cliff above creates a breeze that blows through the cave. The smooth stone beneath our feet is cool upon first touch but warms quickly as we go. As her familiar scent of roses reaches me, my heart skips a beat.

When we reach the center most point behind the waterfall, I notice the stone bows away from the water. It disappears into a hole cut into the rock and reappears on the other side several feet down. In here we’re completely out of sight.

We reach the cutout, and I stop, pulling her beside me.

“Another one of your secret spots?” I turn and bring her flat to me.

Her hand slides along my chest, sparks flare in its wake. I grip her hip with one hand and bring the other under her chin, tilting her head toward mine. Her skin has a slight chill on it, but I’m sure I can warm her up.

I gaze into her pleading eyes and bring her lips to mine to kiss her softly. Her lips open immediately, and our tongues mingle once again. I groan at the sensation and kiss her deeper. I reach down to grip the back of her thighs, raising her to my hips. She wraps her legs around me.

She fits perfectly against me.

I walk us further into the cutout. The feeling of her wrapped around my body is exhilarating. Coming to a halt in the middle of our little hideaway, she pulls her lips from mine. Missing the contact, I lean my head forward to kiss her again. She quirks her lips and releases her legs from my hips.

I lower her to the ground gently but don’t release my hold. She looks up at me with palms flat on my chest. She raises up on her tiptoes to place a soft kiss on my mouth. I reach for her, but she stops me before I can grasp the back of her neck.

Placing my hand on her shoulder, she trails delicate kisses on my chin before running her lips over my skin to my jaw. I tilt my head up and back, giving her full access to my throat. Her smile against me says I satisfied her with my response.

I long to touch her, but she seems to want control right now, and who am I to deny her? I dreamed about her having complete control over my body and using it for her own pleasure.

She continues her light kisses down my throat, letting a hint of her teeth graze over my skin as she goes. I rest my hand on the small of her back as she works her way down my chest, encouraging her to continue her trail toward my throbbing cock.

Her hands glide to the band of my undergarments. She lowers herself to her knees as she kisses my stomach. Her fingers tighten around my undergarments as her mouth inches toward my waiting cock. All I can do is watch as this beautiful woman tortures me in the most salacious way possible.

This is not the torture I was expecting when being captured by Umbra. Especially not from their queen. Looking down into those green eyes that always find mine, I realize we can’t do this. Not here. Not like this.

I grab her wrists, stopping her from tugging my undergarments down. Her gaze snaps to mine. Despite how much I want this, I know once I get a taste of her, I’ll never want to stop. And how would that work? She can’t be mine here. Not while she’s bound to the king.

I take in a deep breath. “We can’t do this.”

Confusion and concern wash over her in a wave.

“Why not? Did I ... did I do something wrong?”

The insecurity in her voice breaks me, and I fall to my knees to be level with her. Grasping the back of her neck and bringing her forehead to mine, I breathe in her rose scent. “No. Trust me, there’s nothing I want more than for you to take my cock in your delectable mouth,” I say, kissing her forehead.

She pulls back to look at me, and I release her neck. She stares at me in confusion.

“Once I have you, there’s nothing else. You’re mine, and I don’t want to hide in the shadows. I can’t be your secret. I’ll slip up and then who knows what King Asher will do.”

“I told you it’s not like that, Theo,” she says recoiling and leaning back on her heels with one arm braced against the stone floor.

I too sit back on my heels, placing my hands in my lap, aching to bring her back into my arms.

“I know, but I doubt he would like his wife fucking his prisoner. It doesn’t paint him in the best image among his people.”
