He was completely submerged before he realized her intent. He flashed from the bath, grabbing her by the waist and moving from the inner bath to her bedchambers.
Ajali looked down into her dark and wicked expression. The laughter that pulsed out of him surprised him. She was bold, beautiful. Irresistible.
Pain flashed in her gaze. “You laugh?”
He stilled at the rage that vibrated in her voice, one that hinted at a coldness he did not associate with her.
“You take Sascha to your bed and think you will rejoin mine at your convenience? You had Suri touching you,” Tehdra hissed.
The palm that slammed into his chest rocked him with its power. It pushed him back a step, and Ajali froze as she launched herself at him, wrapping her legs around his hips, effectively distracting him as she placed a blade against his throat.
A blade!
The heat deep in him stirred, and violence sang through his blood.
Tehdra did not flinch from the icy rage that encased his eyes, turning them into hardened emerald. His coldness reached out, and her beast slid against it, luxuriating in the danger that pelted from him.
“Ah…so the king does not like a blade at his throat?” she murmured with darkness licking at her insides.
She frowned as his hands slid from her ankles curved around her back, up to her thighs and cupped her ass, pulling her more firmly onto his hardness. A hardness she had ignored until now.
Her eyes narrowed, and she pressed the dagger closer to his throat. He lifted her slightly and ripped away the wet undergarments protecting her core from him, all without saying a word. Tehdra inhaled sharply as he started to unbuckle his trousers, holding her gaze with glacier coldness.
She trembled in arousal but pain had her leaning in so her lips caressed his. ?
?You will not have me as long as you bed other haris,” she growled while she held his gaze, baring her emotions.
Regret clenched inside of Ajali, freezing his movements as he absorbed the pain in her gaze. The knowledge that he may lose her if he did not atone rocked him. That if he did not explain his actions, he may lose something before he understood its value. “The depth of arousal that you incite in me, the recklessness, is why I sought another…to prove that I am not indelibly drawn to you.” He pressed forward, licking at her lips, sinking the blade into his skin and letting blood. “It was never my desire to hurt you with my actions. But I needed to believe I could want others, but the only thing I confirmed was that it is only you I crave. I did not become aroused until you entered my chamber. You are a dangerous weakness, a known spy in my kingdom, yet I doubt I can relinquish you. I had only intended to dine with the countess tonight. I want no other since I met you.”
The confession was dragged from him, and the raw pain in her heart eased.
Mine.
Blood beckoned, and Tehdra slowly lowered the blade as she dipped her tongue and lapped the crimson trail that ran from his neck, holding his emerald gaze—a gaze that had thawed to sheer hotness. The sweet metallic taste of his essence tingled on her tongue, thrilling her.
“You are drawn to me more so than usual?” she asked with false calm as triumph pulsed inside her.
“There is no other explanation for me allowing your life after placing a blade against my neck.”
Tehdra purred. “I leave after the games. Ten days’ time. I only ask that you not bed any haris or visitors to your court until I take my leave.”
“Done.”
“You capitulate?” Surprise coated her voice.
“Should I hold out for threats? Threats such as the ones levied at Lady Sascha, a countess of this realm?”
She blinked slowly looking at him to see if he jested. No negative emotions pelted from him. The coldness had thawed, and she could sense nothing from his chakra.
He smiled and it hinted at a promise of cruel pleasure. “Since you are to be my only bed mate, I must warn you that your sensibilities are about to be shocked.”
“I doubt it.”
“Hmmmm.”
He flashed with her in his arms towards his bed chamber, her legs wrapped tightly around his waist. “For the night these succulent lips of yours will wrap around and pleasure my cock.”
He ran his fingers through her soft wetness and plunged three deep, preparing her. A soft hiss escaped her lips.
