Oriel nodded. “All right. Remember, you could give jobs to whoever you think is best. If you have a particularly good fighter, she could train soldiers. That sort of thing.”
“All right. Er, thank you, Oriel. I appreciate that.”
“Is there anything else you want?”
She squinted and sighed. “Yes. I’ve fallen madly in love with you and need a King by my si-” Her sad expression fell away as she laughed, and the table joined in.
“You almost had me going for a second there,” said Oriel. “But no thanks.”
“Aspen and I would get jealous,” said Roth.
They decided to stay for a bit. The ships needed repairs, men needed rest, and they had to restock. While Kalani could probably navigate a ship and kick a man’s ass at the same time while blindfolded, taking over a Kingdom was a different matter. Oriel helped her with that, and they found the treasury was lower. Asara had planned to boost it up.
With careful management, Kalani would be able to increase it while taking care of the citizens. Aspen thought she’d make a good Queen. Her ladies were fine with it, and plenty were staying since they’d have jobs and important roles. A few preferred life on the sea, so Kalani appointed one to be the new Captain and gave her the ship as a gift.
The men were also supposed to be resting and relaxing to destress a bit, but not all could. Kalen and Rhys decided to take their men and head home. They’d been away for a while, and they had their own Kingdom to take care of. Plus, their soldiers missed their families.
Aspen shook their hands on the docks the morning they were leaving and realized he’d miss them, and not just because they’d helped with the war.
Kalen and Oriel both wanted to visit.
“It’d be nice to see more of East Forest and not quickly leave with an army at our side,” said Oriel.
“It’d also be nice to visit West Bay without fighting,” said Kalen.
“Thank you for aiding me,” said Oriel. “I don’t know if Asara lied about the supposed debt with Nemyr or not, but I’m thinking she did. It’s possible he might not have wanted you to know that he’d had an accident since you were young, but I’m thinking she lied. I didn’t even think to ask before she died.”
Kalen spread his hands. “She probably did lie, but I don’t regret it. You’ll be a better ruler than Taven, and you were able to avenge those who needed it.”
“If she wasn’t lying, then the Valentines can say they always pay their debts,” said Rhys.
“If you ever need anything at all, don’t hesitate to ask,” said Oriel.
After a few last words, Aspen stood with Roth and Oriel on the deck as the ships moved away.
“I’ll miss them,” said Roth. “They’re good people.”
Destressing also involved a bit more than sitting around on one’s arse. Aspen was sure plenty of the soldiers were spending coin at the local whorehouses or making friends for a night at the nearest tavern.
Aspen had a talk with Oriel about something he wanted to try. Oriel had said they could work it out, but only if he was fully all right with it. He seemed to think that maybe it wasn’t a good idea, but Aspen had thought long and hard about this. It wasn’t done on a random whim, and doing or not doing something was his choice as long he wasn’t harming anyone else.
Aspen knew Roth was fine, and he’d mentioned it. Aspen could go as far as he wanted or change his mind entirely and not do it. There wouldn’t be any hard feelings between the three of them if he decided to leave the room, and they’d still love each other.
Aspen knew the scars of the past months weren’t anywhere near gone, but some part of him still wanted to try to participate to a point and see how he felt. It wouldn’t be fair if those dead bastards that had hurt him stole away something he’d once enjoyed. They were dead, and no one should have that kind of power over him. It was his body, his mind, and the two men he loved most would be his husbands.
He took a deep breath and opened the door one morning. The sitting room was a bit bare since these rooms were for guests. Oriel hadn’t wanted Asara’s. He quietly opened the bedroom door and had to remind himself it wasn’t real.
Oriel said Roth always fought and got excitement from being pinned and tied up. Oriel had tied his wrists, gagged him, and blindfolded him. He also said that for this session, he’d use a strip of leather around Roth’s balls to pull them down and away from his body. It would help to keep him from cumming too fast.
From what Aspen could see of Roth’s face, he was flushed. He also still struggling a bit, but Oriel held him down and fucked him with long, hard strokes. The knife at Roth’s throat was probably a good reminder to not fight too much.
Oriel said nothing as Aspen quietly shut the door since Roth wasn’t supposed to know anything just yet. He’d known that Aspen would join someday, but not which one and that was it, so it’d be a surprise to him.
Aspen knew the cat fairy could snap his fingers, and the whole thing would stop. It was completely safe, and no one was being harmed. It wasn’t like things that had happened…before.
He approached the bed and nodded to Oriel. He was still okay with this. As he crawled onto the bed, Roth flinched a bit as he felt the movement from another.
“See?” Oriel grabbed a good handful of Roth’s hair and partially withdrew his cock. “I told you I’d invite others to watch while I destroy your tight little ass.”
