“Confer,” he whispered.
“Confer,” she repeated louder.“Alone.”
He smothered a laugh.“Subtle.”Like a streaker running naked through a courtroom.
“Come on.”She yanked his hand, and he happily followed.
“As my queen commands.”
“Look at you with the sarcasm.”She headed into the woods without a security detail.
“Don’t you have to travel with guards?You do in the human realm.”
“Royal.No one can hurt me here, remember?You either, under consort law.The giant perks of me being royal.Too bad it comes with being goblin.”
He hauled her closer, pulling her soft curves against him.“If we had kids…” He ignored the way panic pricked at him.Because he could imagine a little girl with her eyes, and an emptiness he’d never known existed demanded to be filled.Babies with Vori.Beautiful, temperamental, not enough security measures in the world for them babies.“They’d be goblins.Wouldn’t you love them exactly as they are?”
“Yes.”
Her breathy voice and the way her gaze softened called to something in him.He wove his fingers into her hair and kissed her.A remember-this kiss.A lifetime-of-this kiss.A can’t-get-enough kiss.He could kiss her forever.“What do you want?”
“You.This.Passion.Pleasure.”
The way she said the last as though her lips had savored each word had him wanting to drop to his knees and push that goblin gown aside so he could kiss every inch of her.“Turn-ons?Other than dirty talk.”
“You remembered.”
“Always.”
“So many questions?”She nipped his bottom lip with her teeth.“That big brain of yours ever switch off?”
“All the time around you.Now answer the question.”
“You really want to know?”
“I want to know everything about you.How you taste here.”He teased until she opened her mouth, and they met in a clash of tongues and teeth.He feasted as if he’d never get enough.Because maybe he never would.“Here.”He skimmed his palm against her breast—tight nipples and lush skin under all that sheer gauze.“Here.”He moved his hand lower, to the heat between her legs.
“Yes.”She said the word on a sigh.
“Where is the hot spring, and how fast can we get there?Otherwise, I’m taking you up against a tree right here, right now.”
“Not far.”
“Goblin speed would be quicker.”He kissed as he talked, encouraged by the little noises she made.
“My shoulder.I can’t slip again so soon.”
Her words had the same effect as dumping freezing water over his head.He cursed.She was injured, and he was mauling her.“Sorry.”
“No.Don’t you dare stop.”
Queen through and through.No way would he argue with her command.He swept her into his arms, avoiding her shoulder.“Which way?”
She answered, her hot breath against his neck while she buried her face there to kiss and nuzzle.Stumbling through the forest in a sex-crazed daze was a dangerous practice but oh so very worth it.The swirls of heavy mist and the sound of water bubbling had him hurrying.She was destroying him second by second.
The setting sun stretched golden light in the gaps and spaces where it reached the secluded spot through the trees.Not Vori’s magic as it manifested in the castle, but it looked almost the same, as if the entire realm honored its queen.The glow against her skin shone incandescently, and he wanted to worship her the way the light did with his mouth, his body, his heart.
He didn’t fight the fall into love.Maybe he’d known it all along.Whatever fate or destiny or prophecy had thrown them together didn’t matter.
