“Waaahhh!” he hollered and shot all over me, his ass like a vise as he curled toward me.
I grabbed his hips and thrust upward as I came, too. He gave me all of his weight, and I crushed him closer to me. In between my grunts and moans, I was just aware enough to feel him heave a sigh and nuzzle into my neck.
Prince Solaris of the Summer Court was a cuddler. It was very clear that he had no plans to go anywhere else for the rest of the night.
We’d end up glued together, sweaty and gross, but I didn’t mind at all.
Chapter 9
Given my disastrous riding experience the day before, I climbed into the carriage as soon as Francis and Nick brought it around to the pub. It occurred to me then that I had no idea where it or all the horses went every night. I guessed that the boys were handling that every time? Good thing since I didn’t have the knowledge or the money to do whatever happened.
And that got me thinking about my future again as we trundled down the road on the last leg of our journey. We’d reach the castle this afternoon, and…then what?
I could certainly shove Solaris at the nearest person who looked capable of magic and tell them to keep him around and working on the curse. And then what?
I had no purpose. Clearly had no skills. I could keep on in my capacity as princely jailer to make sure he did what needed done—despite not actually knowing what that was—but then… I wasn’t going ask the question again. It still hung there in the back of my mind, though.
Solaris chuckled on the bench opposite me, and I looked to find him staring at me with a wicked grin. He couldn’t read mymind, right? Because I’d take offense if he was laughing after listening to me go on and on?—
“Can you hear them?” he asked.
“Hear who?”
He pointed behind himself to the front of the carriage. I listened and— Oh, somebody was moaning out there. Like sex moaning. Was one of them getting medieval road head? I snorted a laugh.
Curiously, I asked, “Are the four of them actual couples or…”
Solaris nodded. “From the time we were teens.”
“And do you ever…join them?”
He made a disgusted face. “They’re more like my brothers than my brothers are.”
“Ah.” I knew he hadn’t been a virgin, but if he wasn’t hooking up with the people he trusted most… “So who does a prince of the realm get with?”
He frowned at me. “You.”
“Yeah, but just because I was there and?—”
“No!”
That felt like a compliment. And it was a relief, too. “Okay.”
He leaned back and crossed his arms. “You’re unlike anyone I’ve ever known.”
I hadn’t been fishing, but… “Thanks. You, too. I’m glad kidnapping you didn’t turn you off.”
Solaris huffed a laugh and shook his head like maybe he thought I was incorrigible.
Suddenly, from outside, came a bellowing moan. I think whichever guy that was might’ve startled the horses, too, because the carriage jerked. One of our drivers was quite satisfied now.
Across from me, Solaris was grinning as he reached down and adjusted himself. I did the same, not immune to him or the sounds of another guy enjoying himself out there. In fact, Istarted unbuttoning my pants, intending to play along and give the prince a show.
I was surprised when Solaris flew across the space separating us and got down on his knees between mine. He swatted my hands out of the way and took over freeing my cock from my pants with an urgency that flattered the hell out of me. And when he had me out, he hummed as he swallowed me down his throat.
I moaned as he sucked with skill and enthusiasm. And fuck, he was beautiful while doing this, too. I cupped his cheek and just held on as he bobbed on me.
But then it felt like something moved against my palm. I moved my hand and saw that the minuscule feathers were now on his face, just on the edge of his hairline. They still looked like a tattoo of iridescent blue and green, thin here, thicker there, little tendrils curling outward. One line of them traced up the side of his ear.
