“Yes, I’m fine. Just clumsy. Sorry, I…” I kept hold of her arms until she straightened and looked up into my eyes. “I just wanted a closer look because it was so beautiful.”
I frowned, confused. “What’s beautiful?”
She couldn’t be talking about the light show, since she was looking nowhere near the sky. She was too busy staring at me.
“The way the colors reflect off your face,” she murmured, lifting her hand so she could gently touch my cheek.
Though she only grazed my features, I swore I felt her fingers everywhere. The sensation covered every inch of my body until I was hard and aching, ready to take her right there.
“So beautiful,” she murmured, stroking my face.
“Vienne,” I started in a hoarse voice, glancing around to make sure no one else could see what she was doing to me in the dark. Gently taking her wrists in my grasp, I urged her hands away from me. “Darling, what’re you—”
“What do you think we’ll dream about tonight?” she asked in wonder, still staring into my eyes. Then she giggled and shifted closer. “I hope I fall asleep first, because I know what I want to dream about.”
My mouth fell open, and my eyes grew wide until she hiccupped and giggled again. Then I realized— “Holy shit, you’re smashed. How much have you had to drink?”
Laughing, she shook her head and covered her mouth. “A lot.”
I took her shoulders and glanced around, needing to get her somewhere safe and out of the public eye, but then Allera and Brentley showed up surrounding us and basically protecting us from view of everyone else.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Allera hissed as she jerked me away from my one true love. “It might be dark out, but honestly, anyone could’ve glanced over and seen you two. Brentley and I certainly did.”
“Be careful,” I hissed when Vienne wavered as soon as Allera pulled me away from her. “She’s had too much to drink. She doesn’t know what she’s doing.”
“I know exactly what I’m doing,” Vienne announced on a petulant frown. “I was touching all the pretty lights on your face.”
“My God,” Brentley uttered, shaking his head as he gaped at her. “I’ve never seen her so drunk before.”
“We’ll get her back to her room,” Allera told me as she gently hooked her arm through Vienne’s. “Yo
u should go mingle and make sure you’re seen by people, especially her husband.”
I opened my mouth to refute that idea, but Brentley patted my arm. “You know it’s for the best, mate.”
When I nodded, Vienne cried, “No. I want to stay with Urban.”
She reached for me, but Allera pulled her back. “Come along, dear. Let’s go check on Anniston, shall we?”
The mother was easily deterred. “Okay. Good idea. She was sleeping last time I checked. A maid is staying with her, but with dark magic in the castle, you can never be too safe, though the dark magic certainly hasn’t done anything to hurt anyone yet. Do you think the priestess who touched Nicolette was wrong? Maybe there’s no dark magic around at all.”
“Priestesses are never wrong,” Allera told her as she led Vienne away.
I watched Brentley and Allera steer her off until they disappeared in the crowd. Then I sighed and wandered around, looking for Vienne’s dick of a husband, but I never found him. When I came across the king, I nodded a greeting, talked to him for a few minutes and called that good enough before I decided to retire for the night.
Once I was alone in the hallway on my floor of the castle, I finally let my grin grow. Vienne had sought me out. She’d touched me and called me beautiful. This was going to end up as a good day, indeed.
But then I opened the door to my room, and a wave of heat rippled across my skin. My mark tingled a moment before lust coiled through me, growing stronger and stronger until I had to reach for the back of a chair to steady myself.
What the hell...?
I realized what was happening a moment before the orgasm hit.
With a groan, I bowed my head and gnashed my teeth as wave after wave of pleasure poured over me, flooding my veins. I didn’t ejaculate, though, because it wasn’t my orgasm. I suppose I easily could’ve reached down and relieved myself. It would’ve been a long, hard release if I had. But I couldn’t. Not while I knew all this had originated from my one true love, who was currently letting another man inside her.
Growling deep in my throat, I tried to fight off the sensations still rolling through me. I hated knowing she was having sex right now. Hated feeling it. And for the briefest moment, I hated her for enjoying it... Because, oh yes, I could feel her joy coming through the mark loud and clear. Her orgasm had been that strong.
Acid settled in my stomach. I wanted to vomit.
