Tem traced the tip of him with her tongue. Still teasing him—still refusing to yield.

“What would you forsake for me?” she whispered.

“Everything.”

She nipped her teeth over the smooth curve of his head, cupping his balls in her palm. She squeezed.

“Your title?”

“Yes.”

Another squeeze.

“Your father?”

“Yes.”

She allowed herself to look at him. His eyes were shut tight, the muscles in his jaw clenched to the point of exertion.

“Do you mean that?” she whispered.

His eyes flew open.

“You know I cannot lie.”

It was enough for her.

Tem took his cock in her mouth, pulling his full length down her throat. From the way he groaned, she knew he was watching her do everything he’d begged her to do. It was exhilarating to have him like this—defenseless—completely at her mercy. Caspen was a powerful creature. And he belonged to her.

“Tem,” he moaned, his fingers twisting in her hair.

When he came, she swallowed every last drop of him.

She released his cock, positioning herself above his body so they were face to face.

“What am I to you?” she whispered.

Caspen lifted his lips to hers, whispering a single word into her mouth:

“Everything.”

They lay together afterward, content to do nothing but touch each other.

Tem knew eventually she would have to return to the castle. But that meant returning to Leo, and she wasn’t ready to do that yet. Besides, she hadn’t come here just for sex.

“I saw my father,” she said quietly.

Caspen was gently fingering her. He paused before murmuring:

“How was he?”

“Barely alive.”

His fingers went deeper.

“I told you not to go.”

“You can’t tell me what to do.”
