CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT
?
KEON
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at what Corvus is saying, but I’m still processing the fact that he’s alive.
He’s right here, in front of me. He also looks incredibly sexy, his mouth half-open, his chest rising up and down as his breathing quickens, and his cock so hard it’s difficult to pay attention to any other part of his body.
I’m trying to focus on the information I need to extract from him, not how gorgeous he looks. And he looks gorgeous—so vulnerable, so delicious. There’s no place for my feelings to soften when it comes to this man. He isn’t just another threat to our king, he’s a threat to my entire family.
Which is a shame, since he’s beautiful, and I could definitely picture myself spending quite a bit more time with him.
It’s also a shame Atlas will probably have him killed.
“Okay,” I say. “So you want to take over the bride exchange program and you’re aware humans don’t trust the en’Diavolos.”
I’m saying it for his benefit, since we both know it to be the case. When Aelydon realized that humans weren’t affected by the disease that made almost all species in our galaxy infertile and their young were unaffected, we decided to send emissaries from each family. For the first time in about half a century, every family on Aelydon was in agreement. We came together because we knew that there was every chance other species would want to interfere with humanity, and we wanted to be the first to research them.
When first contact was made, Aelyds were sure that they were going to be the way to find a cure.
They weren’t. We studied humanity quietly, still trying to figure out if their DNA would be the key that led to the salvation of our species. Then we discovered that humans were cross compatible with Aelyds and everything changed.
Humans who Aelyds could procreate with became precious commodities to us. When Zaire en’Diavolo got Layla Dara pregnant—they were the proof of concept, unbeknownst to them—the families realized that the rest of the women on Earth would be quickly snatched up by interested parties.
So we’re all in competition. It’s not something we’ve spoken about at great length—peace is tenuous, at best—but it’s not as if it’s not something all of us realize. Each house will want children with Gifts—healthy, strong children to take over as the next in line. When every member of a family has a Gifted heir, that family will be unstoppable.
So every family wants as many women as possible. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that they’re willing to get them under any means necessary.
“Did it occur to you to ask her what she might want?” I ask, my hand wrapped around his cock again as I look up into his sparkling eyes. “That seems kind of important.”
“I didn’t intend to use Penn as anything,” he says, groaning, writhing, fucking my hand with his throbbing hard cock. “Only an assassin. She was going to kill your boss…”
“Because you couldn’t get to him?” I ask, a smile on my lips. Atlas has always remained untouchable.
He smiles back at me. “Oh, Keon,” he says, his eyes turning a dark pink. “You’re so smart, and yet, you have such a blindspot when it comes to Atlas. What makes you think I haven’t already gotten to him? What makes you think I haven’t already made him weak?”
“You have a lot of nerve for someone in your position,” I say, stilling my hand on his cock, which throbs and hums in my grip. He’s putty in my hands, and yet he’s still so fucking defiant.
I think I could do this for the rest of my life.
But I’m also incredibly hard because this man, with his hands bound by his sides and his feet pointed to the ground, makes me fucking crazy. I’m supposed to be doing my job, but not getting him off, fuck, not gettingmyselfoff, it would be a crime.
I’m efficient, but I try my best not to be cruel. Corvus has given me quite a lot of information, too; information I wouldn’t have had access to otherwise.
I pick up my head to look into his golden eyes, which narrow as his gaze settles on mine. I tug at his cock hard enough to hear him moan under his breath even though I can tell he’s trying hard to control it and the blood feels like it rushes away from my head and toward my penis.
“I think I know your secret, Corvus,” I say under my breath.
“Oh, yeah? And what’s that?”
“You’re secretly a good boy,” I say. “See, all you want to do is behave and be edged and then praised until you come all over yourself. I can feel how hard you are, I can sense the electricity coming off your body. And you were so ready to give into me before. Do you want to give into me now, lover?”
He grits his teeth, his mouth falling open, his tongue piercing sparkling in the dark dim lighting of the dungeon. “I don’t know what else you could possibly want from me.”
I smirk, wrapping my lips around his erection again. I could taste him for hours because he’s delectable. Even though my knees are on the cold hard ground under me, I have to touch myself as I move my head back and forth on his hardness, his arousal practically fizzing in my mouth.
I move my hand tight and hot on myself as I practically gag on him and then I open my eyes widely so I can watch him stare at me as he pumps his hips into my mouth, his entire body tensing as he floods his arousal into my tongue.
