Page 152 of Between Two Kings

Equal parts ecstasy and torment flashed across his face. The two were so closely intertwined, there was no difference between them.

“Here.” She brushed her fingers over her clitoris. “Come right here.”

His eyes glazed over.

“Apollo,” she whispered.

The moment she said his name, Apollo came.

He finished with a groan, his shoulders hunching forward as he released himself between her legs. His cum was warm, covering her center with a slickness that shone in the brand-new sunlight. For a single second, neither of them moved. Then Apollo extended his hand and slipped his fingers inside her once more, pushing his essence deep into her center, joining it with hers. Unlike the aggressive way he’d touched her just moments ago, this time he caressed her gently, slipping his fingers in and out, up and down, spreading their combined wetness all over. Tem let him do this, her knees still open, every part of her exposed. When he finally removed his fingers, he raised them to her lips.

Taste us.

Tem didn’t need to be told.

She opened her mouth and received his fingers willingly, sliding her tongue through the valley between them. The metaphor wasn’t lost on her: she knew he was showing her how good they could be together. Apollo’s other hand went to her neck, tilting her head back to push his fingers down her throat. Tem closed her eyes, memorizing the way they tasted, imagining what it would be like to do everything he’d shown her in his vision. But she couldn’t do any of that. Not tonight, and possibly not ever. She would not come between brothers—figuratively or otherwise. Apollo’s face was an inch away from hers. He was probing her, testing her, seeing how deep she could take him.

When she had licked his fingers clean, Apollo grinned.

“Your cunt is exceptional.”

“I—what?”

“One of the best I have ever encountered.”

Tem closed her eyes. “That’s what you choose to say to me right now?”

“It is simply a fact.”

“Basilisks are insane. All of you—insane.”

“I understand why my brother is obsessed with it. And with you.”

“Are you trying to compliment me? Because it’s not working.”

“I am not. I am merely telling you my observations.”

“Great. Can you keep your observations to yourself, please?”

“If that is what you wish.”

“That is deeply what I wish, Apollo.”

When she opened her eyes, he was smiling. There would be no hiding from him after this. What had just transpired between them was only the beginning of something—of that, Tem was quite sure. She would have to deal with the consequences of tonight sooner or later. It was too soon to tell whether they had crossed a line. But there was solace in knowing they had crossed it together.

Apollo was still grinning.

“What are you smiling at?” Tem asked.

“I have never met a human like you before.”

“I’m not a human. I’m a Hybreed.”

“That is true. But you are not a basilisk, that much is clear.”

“What do you mean?”

Apollo rolled his shoulders. He was still standing between her legs, his cock still wet with her cum.
