“Until my last breath and in all lifetimes, you’ll have me,” I answer honestly. I’m completely lost in this woman, and I’ll let her destroy me, if that’s what it takes.

She smirks as she lines herself up on my tip. Sliding down my length, she takes as much of me as she can. Her breath hitches as she shifts her hips for a better angle.

Her soft pussy wrapped around me nearly sends me over the edge. I clench my hands into fists and take a deep breath. Placing her hands on my hips, she moves up and down, taking a little more each time. She whimpers needily as she buries my cock deep inside. Her pussy flutters, and I moan deep at the feel of her taking me fully.

The queen uses my hips to slide up and down my cock, becoming rougher as she goes. Adjusting her knees for better leverage, she rides me hard and picks up the pace. She trails a hand down her breasts to play with her nipples. I pull against her shadows right as she pinches, causing a strangled whine to escape her parted lips.

She continues down and rubs circles on her clit as she slams down into me. I try pushing my climax back for as long as I can. But my self-control is wavering. I need her to cum for me. I need to feel her fall over that edge because of me.

A strained whimper comes from the queen as she quickens her pace, chasing her orgasm. “Please. Let me cum with you,” I beg. “Please, my queen. I need it. I need you.”

“Hard, Theo. Now,” she orders, and her shadows fall away instantly. I grip one of her hips with one hand while the other grasps her thigh. Lifting her up almost to the tip, I slam her down and thrust into her. Her head falls back with a high-pitched shriek. She circles her clit in fast swirls as her pussy clenches tight around me.

Even my dream couldn’t prepare me for how good this is. I could live a thousand years, and I’ll never tire of this with her. I’ll never be able to get enough of her.

Sparks skirt across my skin with each thrust. Stars dance in my vision as tingles flood my body. Her pussy clamps down on my cock. Her back arches as her orgasm blasts through her. She screams my name as she flies over the edge.

I grab both her hips and thrust relentlessly, chasing after her release. She whimpers as I draw hers out, relishing the feel of her tightening around me. A guttural groan rips through me as I cum harder than I ever have in my life. A fire erupts throughout my body, blazing hot. Lightning flashes in my vision as I shake with my release.

Exhausted, she falls forward onto my chest. Our bodies slick with sweat. I wrap my arms around her, our breathing rough. After we catch our breaths, she slides off me, and I pull her close to my side. Brushing the hair from her face, I pull her in for a sweet kiss. A soft moan comes from her as our lips touch.

I break our kiss and stare into the stunning green eyes that have changed my life forever. “You have me, my queen. Every piece I can offer to you, I’m yours. I love you.” I suck in a breath, shocked by my own words.

She smiles at me while examining my face. “I love you, too. I’m yours through this life and all that comes after.” Her lips return to mine with renewed passion, and I smile against them.

I’ve never heard of a person having more than one Amari in their lifetime, but I know she’s mine. She has to be. There’s no other explanation for the way my heart hums when she’s close. I could find her in the darkness by the cord stretched between us.

I say a prayer to Astra asking for a favor and to bless me with this warrior queen as the one who has my heart forever. I silently ask Lily to give me a sign that she’s happy for me. That this is what she wants for me. I’ve waited so long to find someone who makes my heart sing like she did.






Chapter 39

“Never take it off. It will protect you.”My mother’s words echo in my mind as I run my fingers along the delicate ironwork of the necklace. I always thought they buried it with me, but she must have kept it.

Nyx and I have spent all morning in the council room trying to solve this mystery. We’ve discussed the potential origins of the necklace and the reasons my mother would have said it was for protection. Neither of us comes up with a definitive answer.

We can’t seem to figure out why Leopold claims we stole it either. The only thing we’ve been able to determine is he’s targeting me and my kingdom.He’ll die before I let him step foot on my land.

We’ve been debating for hours the different tactics we could take against Leopold. Right now, the best we can do is increase the guards at our entrances and halt any viators from entering. Business will be down for my people, but I’ll make it up to them. I need to keep them safe.

“We need to get someone within Leopold’s circle if we ever want to figure out what he’s planning,” Nyx says with a furrowed brow. I close my eyes and squeeze the necklace in my hand. What would my mother tell me to do? “Make them pay.”

“Do we still have a spy within Brightwick?” I ask, my mother’s words ringing in my ears. Nyx answers with a nod. “Good, because we need to get a message inside the castle.”
