Refreshed and renewed by her work and the aromatic bath, Ruby left her room determined to seek out Crispin. She wandered the corridors and paused outside the door to his presence chamber. With a solid knock, she waited.
His command to enter echoed through the wood. Ruby pressed her hand to her stomach and took a breath before opening the door.
Crispin’s furrowed brow softened at the sight of her. “Ah, my queen, to what do I owe this delightful distraction?” His ravenous gaze shifted over the simple gown she wore. He pushed the chair back and patted his thigh in invitation.
Heat curled through her. Their time together intensified her desire for him.
“I did not wish to interrupt you while you worked.” She crossed the room and sat on his lap. His arms snaked around her, holding her fast against him as he nuzzled against her neck.
“Your presence is always welcome.” He pressed a kiss to her neck, and he grasped her breast in his palm, kneading until her nipple pebbled beneath his touch. “I missed your scent. It has been too long since I buried myself inside you.”
Ruby chuckled before a moan erupted from her throat at his ministrations. “You—” she licked her lips “—It has only been a few hours.”
“Aye.” Crispin stroked his hands over her hips and drew up her skirt. “I woke at dawn and buried my cock deep in your cunt.” He nipped at her shoulder while his fingertips brushed her bare thigh edging higher and higher until they brushed her aching core. “All night I dreamt of you. When I woke with you in my arms, I drove you to such pleasurable heights before sating us both. Tell me you do not crave more.”
“Crispin—” Her breath caught in her throat as he stroked her slit finding the sensitive places with ease and teasing her until she grasped his wrist.
“I want you to coat my fingers with your arousal.” His demand made her body twitch. When he slid his fingers into her, she clung tighter as the pleasure overtook her. “Do you like when I tease you?” He moved slowly, thrusting with a measured pace.
Ruby bucked her hips against him. Her body ached for release. She nodded, biting her lip, unable to think only feel. Crispin overwhelmed her with his scent, his heat, his words.
“Please,” she begged.
“So pretty when you stand on the precipice of release.” He quickened his pace, stroking with masterful precision. “Beg for me, darling.”
“Crispin, please, I need...” She gasped when he flicked her nub with his thumb. “I want...” The words twisted in her mind, jumbled by the haze of lust coursing through her. A cry built in her throat as her climax crested.
“Yes, my love.” Crispin tipped her over the edge. He raked his teeth over her skin as she found her release.
She closed her eyes and collapsed against him when the burst of sensation ricocheted through her, drawing her higher into blissful awareness. When she finally opened her eyes, Crispin’s wicked grin and sparkling eyes were the first things she saw.
“Quite a decadent distraction.” Holding her gaze, he licked the arousal from his fingers. “Mmmm, so sweet. Perhaps I shall feast on you this evening. Bury my face between your thighs and lick your delicious cunt until you cry out in pleasure again and again.”
Ruby’s face heated at his words and actions, but she did not shy away from them. Instead, she embraced his wicked whispers, allowing them to burrow into her soul and feed her insatiable hunger for him.
“I do not believe your mother would appreciate us missing the lovely spring feast she has prepared.” Ruby shifted to meet his gaze, noting the prominent press of his cock against her hip.
Crispin tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and her heart warmed at the tender gesture. “I would hate to disappoint my mother, but I would much rather spend my nights fucking my wife.”
“The guests will assume you have decided to neglect your duties as king should you decide to remain hidden.” She ran her fingers through his hair and gave a gentle tug.
“Fucking my wife is not neglecting my duties as king. I must ensure the continuation of the royal line.” He hissed when she pulled a bit harder. His blue eyes darkened to the color of a midday storm.
“And if I told you there was no need to do so?” Ruby drew her lower lip between her teeth.
Crispin’s eyes narrowed before the joyful smile transformed his face. “You are with child? So quickly?”
Ruby laughed. “You have made a valiant effort over the past few months. Nearly every night. Truth be told, I find your stamina quite endearing, but perhaps this will allow you to get some rest.”
Crispin stood quickly and scooped Ruby into his arms. She squealed and clung to him as he carried her to the hidden door connecting his presence chamber to his bed chamber. He kicked the door shut with a shuddering determination.
By the time he placed her on the coverlet, her body wept for him. The climax he gave her moments before fell to the wayside like a distant memory. He claimed her mouth with his, promising something infinitely more pleasurable than his eager fingers coaxing pleasure from her willing body.
She trembled with anticipation as he plundered her lips. His teeth raked against the soft skin, drawing a moan from deep within her. When he ravished her thus, he unleashed a torrent of unexpected emotion.
Over the past few months, he seduced her in every way. With his words, his actions, his body. Every time different than the last. He grieved with her, but he also released the remaining hesitation keeping her from embracing her place beside him. He made her his queen in name, but after Simon, he allowed her to take her rightful place as queen in her own way.
He trailed kisses along her neck and down, tugging the gown aside to reveal her sensitive breasts. His gaze met hers as he suckled, pulling her nipples into tight peaks in his mouth. She buried her fingers in his hair and tugged. She wanted more. Needed more.
