“You said it felt like Lupa and Morgana’s private business, which it was. But by exerting yourself, you made sure it became a Society matter. Do you understand that?”

I try to refocus on the conversation we had before Liam fucked me, but with Gus pumping into me, it’s hard to think about anything but the pleasure that’s once again building inside me.

“I… I… fuck. Gus, I need more.”

His answering “No” is breathy, but not so much there’s any doubt he’s denying me.

Looking back up at my husband, I answer his question honestly. “No. I don’t understand.”

Kai inhales deeply. “What’s the difference between being a leader and a ruler?”

The question catches me off-guard. “Do you mean a capital Leader and Ruler?” My question causes Liam to laugh.

“No, Nereid. What is the general definition of those words?”

Licking my dry lips, I force my mind to ignore the way Gus is using my body. “Leading refers to guiding or directing people… shit I can’t.” As soon as I stop talking, Gus stops moving.

One day, I’m going to repay the cruel favor they’re bestowing on me tonight. I’ll make all three of them take a quiz while I’m playing with their bodies.

I take a deep breath before continuing. “Guiding them towards something, like a specific goal or aim. It also means you have to motivate and inspire others to follow.” I pause as the golden drachma finally drops, and I can truly see where I went wrong.

“Continue,” Kai murmurs, and Gus wastes no time pumping into me again like the words were for him.

“Ruling means… it means…” Trailing off I close my eyes, trying to stave off the orgasm that’s rapidly building. “I can’t focus.” The words are not as harsh as I wanted them to be. In fact, they’re nothing more than a whimper.

“I’m almost there,” Gus moans.

He slams into me twice, each time so hard that I lurch into Kai who’s still holding me in place. He’s so close, and I can’t stop myself from taking advantage of Gus’ pounding. When he bottoms inside me again, I lean forward and capture Kai’s lips in a searing kiss.

It only takes a second before my husband kisses me back, and I moan desperately into his mouth as Gus’ cock swells inside me.

“Fuck. I can’t… I’m going to… Cia…”

I continue to kiss Kai while Gus spills his seed inside me. Despite knowing he wasn’t going to make me come, I’m still disappointed, deflated like a balloon without air.

Pulling away, Kai gives me a cocky look. “Finish what you were saying, and then you’ll get to come, Nereid.”

I narrow my eyes at his insinuation that it’s something I need permission for, but I don’t push it further. I really want to come.

Shaking my head, I try to remember what I was saying while Gus was inside me. “If you’re ruling you have the authority to create and enforce laws. Technically, both a leader and a ruler have to make decisions and exert authority, but I suppose leading leans more towards guiding and inspiring. Ruling, however, focuses on enforcement and decision making.” My voice grows hoarse the more I talk, and towards the end, I’m practically croaking the words.

Shit, why did I never think about this until now?

Being raised as a Leader, maybe especially the potential Drákon Leader, I wasn’t taught to think of the needs of the many. Nikolaos the Ruthless taught me to always have my back up, to never bow to anyone, and that I had the ultimate power. But that’s not how one rules, is it? Sure, it’s not a perfect democracy, but that doesn’t mean it should be a cruel dictatorship.

I can’t just decide I want one thing, and then enforce it. That’s not how a healthy council works, and I’ve been a fool to not even consider this until now.

“That’s correct,” Kai says softly. Then he moves, and I hear the ruffling of clothes being removed. “So you understand the difference now?”

I nod, then I gasp as my husband’s hand lands hard on my ass.

“Use your words, Nereid.” The sternness in his tone causes a smile to tug at the corners of my mouth, and I’m tempted to remain quiet so he’ll spank me again.

Not wanting him to deny me the orgasm he promised, I decide against rebelling and answer him. “Yes, husband. I understand.”

“Thank fuck. I don’t think I could stand waiting another second to touch you,” Kai rasps while cupping my cunt.

I know the remnants of both Gus and Liam are dripping into his hand, and the thought of him gathering our juices causes a delicious shiver to work down my spine.
