Once he finished, his energy left and he sagged over me. I was still hard and aching with the need to come, but I knew he wasn’t going to let me. I loved that too. It meant I would spend the entire day thinking of him, no matter what happened or where either of us were.

After catching his breath, he muscled himself above me and was about to say something when grunts and moans and the creak of a bed sounded from the other side of the wall.

Whatever Jace had been about to say, he ended up dissolving into a laugh. “It feels just like home,” he laughed.

The intensity of the moment was over, and I laughed with him. “I guess Peter is feeling better this morning.”

“We’ll know for sure if he has a hard time walking later,” Jace said.

He dipped down to kiss me sweetly, then muscled to sit back and grin at me.

“You are so fucking beautiful when you look this debauched,” he said, stroking his hand down my stomach and teasing my weeping cockhead with his fingers. “You look like such a whore, all messy and flushed and hard and dripping like this.”

“A whore or a pup?” I asked, feeling breathless.

Jace’s smile widened, and affection lit his eyes. “You’re my whore pup,” he said with a wink. “If I hadn’t just fucked every drop of cum I have into your throat, I would fuck your ass until you are limping around like Peter all day.”

I laughed. It was another one of those moments where anyone who didn’t know us would think Jace had just insulted me, when, in fact, I found everything he said to be beautiful.

He leaned back over me and kissed my messy mouth quickly, then cupped my balls and squeezed them just a little too hard. When I winced at the jolt of pain he said, “Come on, pup, time to get up and clean up. We have kingdoms to manipulate today. And no, I’m not going to let you come, so don’t even ask.”

He crawled off me and rolled out of bed, heading straight to the washstand.

“I know better than to ask,” I said, getting up much more slowly. My body ached a little, but not as much as if would have if he’d fucked me like he said he wanted to.

I turned away from him as I crossed the room to fetch clean clothes for the day for both of us, and Jace said, “Fuck, Genny, that ass of yours. You’re so fucking fuckable this morning. Being a pup suits you.”

I blushed and sent him a sheepish look of happiness as I brought our clothes over to the bed and laid them out while Jace washed.

When he was clean and shaved, he gestured for me to come over to the washbasin, where he tenderly bathed me with a sponge and toweled me dry. For every rough stroke he used while fucking me, there were these moments of complete care and gentleness. He poured me a glass of water and offered it to me after I brushed my teeth, then he helped me to dress. The relationship we had contained as many facets as a gem, and to me it was just as precious.

That thought was fresh on my mind as we left the room and headed downstairs. I glanced around anxiously, wary of meeting Peter in case, in spite of what we’d heard on the other side of the wall, he was still angry. Peter, Magnus, and Neil weren’t downstairs yet. The aides Magnus had brought with him for the meetings, Casus and Levin, were already working in the kitchen, though. They had breakfast ready for me and Jace before we even had to ask for it.

The four of us sat down to eat at the table in the kitchen. It was peaceful and pleasant, and Jace immediately got involved in Casus and Levin’s conversation about what we could all expect that day. I was content to sit back and listen, but the whole time, I kept looking toward the doorway.

Before long, Peter, Magnus, and Neil arrived. I tensed, watching Peter like he was some sort of fire that might burn out of control at any moment.

Jace continued talking, but reached out under the table and placed his hand on my leg.

Peter avoided looking at me a little too conspicuously as Magnus pulled out a chair at the table for him and said, “Excellent. I love it when breakfast is ready and waiting for me in the morning.”

It was subtle, but the way Magnus held the chair for Peter, then tucked it in once Peter was seated, and the way Magnus and Neil sat on either side of Peter, Neil pouring tea for him, and for himself, and Magnus piling food on Peter’s, his, and Neil’s plates, reminded me of the story the other Sons had told me of the supper where Peter had been punished by being treated like a child. I’d been back in the yurt for that supper, too anxious to be seen yet, but I’d heard all about it. I wondered if Magnus and Neil were somehow punishing Peter for bad behavior again.

That thought had me grinning for a moment in spite of myself. If that was the case, Peter had better be glad Magnus and Neil didn’t punish the way Jace did. Then again, I bet Peter would have loved that.

Which was likely his entire problem.

“Did Sai give any indication about what today’s discussions will be about?” Casus asked Magnus as we all ate breakfast.

Magnus rolled his eyes a bit and answered, “Trade deals, for the most part. I’m not certain if it is wisdom or frustration at work, but I believe Sai understands the corner he’s been backed into.”

“I think the best we can hope for at this point is whatever comes out of the side discussions Magnus, Jorgen, and Olympus have,” Neil added.

“And what do the three of you plan to talk about?” Casus asked, one eyebrow raised.

Magnus laughed. “Everything. Trade, of course, but I would imagine freedom of movement between the kingdoms will come up too.”

“And plans for us all to work together to defend ourselves against the Old Realm, should it come to it, I would hope,” Jace said as he finished with his food.
