“I do,” she promised.
Standing back, I pulled her perfect, tiny cheeks apart and slid my shaft over the hot nectar of her center. She gasped again, my teasing movements only enhancing her desire.
“Please!” she begged. “No more—”
She didn’t have a chance to finish her plea as I pushed inside her, cutting her off. I pinned her to the wall, my hands falling over hers. She tried to turn her head again, but my cheek pressed into hers, forbidding her from moving in any direction. My hot breath in her ears sent more gooseflesh through her body, but I could barely feel that against the walls of her center closing around me, drawing me higher toward my release.
She mewled, bucking back against me, driving me wilder, and my jerks grew harder, faster, and out of control. My fingers dug into the tender skin of her waist.
“I-I’m exploding!” Zephy yelped.
And it was truly all I needed to hear.
Her hot juices spilled against me, and I sighed with contentment, allowing myself to enjoy my own orgasm in unison.
My forearm tightened around her waist, drawing her fully back against me, and Zephy’s body buckled beneath me. But I didn’t let her fall, even as I let myself go.
Together, we quivered against the wall of her suites, afraid to move an inch, lest we both crumble into a pile of mush.
After a minute, Zephy tittered lightly. “You’re crushing me, Cade.”
I also chuckled and rose off her, straightening my shaking body. “Sorry.”
Shyly, she turned to look at me, scooping her dress from the floor. I followed her lead, searching for my own clothing.
“Cade…”
I turned to look at her curiously.
“Are you sure that I’m who you want?” she asked timidly.
I frowned, wondering where all this had come from.
“I realize that you don’t know me very well, Zephy, but I like to think that you know me well enough to know that I wouldn’t act as if everything was all right if it wasn’t.”
She nodded, turning away, but I saw her bite on her lower lip as she shimmied into her sundress and turned toward me to button it. “Do you mind?”
I chortled, reaching for the clasp. “I suppose I should get used to doing these kinds of things, shouldn’t I?”
She eyed me through her peripheral vision, but she didn’t respond. Instead, she asked me a question.
“Has there been any update on the post-mortem with Leonid? Was he cursed? Rabid?”
I tensed at the mention of the bear shifter. “I haven’t heard anything yet, but I’ll go check right now.”
I finished buttoning the buttons and turned her to face me, my expression impassioned. “I won’t let anything happen to you, Zephy. I hope you believe that.”
“I believe that,” she agreed.
“Good. Then stop worrying about Leonid or anything else. You have the best security in the palace. It’s even better than mine.”
Her silence disturbed me, but I didn’t dwell on it. She was right; I did need to follow up on Leonid and find out if there was a real threat still hanging over the palace—and my queen.
Chapter18
Zephy
Silently and behind Cade’s back, I had Stralia reassigned from the north wing to the east wing. It was still out of Cade’s view, but it was the place she knew best, and she was grateful for the change.
