“I’ll man the wall tonight,” Herrath offered. “And fall back to the keep tomorrow morning,” he continued. “I want to be on the inside, just in case.”
“I doubt that Kael’s father would betray us, but it will help me sleep easier knowing that I have someone I trust in place.”
“Thanks, Theron.”
Herrath smiled, something that had happened more in the last two days than the last two years, reminding me of something else.
“When were you going to tell me?”
His brows drew down into a line. “Tell you what?”
I grinned. “That you were stealing my housekeeper?” I’d put it together after his comment about her this morning but hadn’t had time to bring it up.
A contented smile spread across his face. “Miri has a will of her own. I’m just happy that she lets me come along.”
I clapped him on the shoulder with a grin, understanding the sentiment all too well. “I’m glad for you. You deserve happiness.”
I left the battlements, the dusty walls quiet beneath a setting sun. The city was tense, the uneasy truce between rebels and soldiers as palpable as the star-strewn sky above us. I could feel it in everyone’s movements; in the way they kept an eye on each other, even as they prepared to meet this coming invasion together.
The markets were silent save for the sound of creaky carts in motion as soldiers used them to transport last-minute supplies for battle.
I meandered through the city that had once been my prison but had become my home, my gaze sweeping across its people as I made my way back toward the palace. Responsibility was a heavy mantle on my shoulders. These people were mine to protect, all of them.
It wasn’t long before I ducked into a servant stairwell, eager to get up to see Kael again.
The door to our bedroom opened with a soft click and I stepped inside, my heart filling at the sight of her sleeping in the bed. She was curled against the pillows, her hair a silver halo around her face. Her lips were parted in sleep and I knelt by the bedside, tracing my thumb across one of them as I watched her.
This was why I’d fought so hard; for this moment of peace we could share, for a future not shrouded by war and violence.
I stripped off my clothing, setting them down quietly to avoid waking her. I slipped into bed beside her, wrapping an arm around her waist to pull her close. She stirred awake in my arms, blinking up at me with sleepy eyes.
I smiled down at her before pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. “I’m home,” I whispered as she nuzzled against me.
“Mmm. I like the sound of that,” she murmured, her voice smoky with sleep. She ran her hand down my stomach and my cock pulsed to life.
“Sihaya—“ I warned.
“Theron,” she mocked, copying my tone as her fingers wrapped around my swiftly hardening erection.
I groaned, my eyes fluttering shut in pleasure. She began to stroke me and I lowered my mouth to kiss her. Her lips were soft and inviting against mine. She tasted of honey and desire and I wanted to lose myself in her forever.
She tugged me closer, rolling on top of me. Her hands moved to my chest, tracing the contours of the muscles beneath her fingertips before she started trailing lower, exploring my body with her fingers and lips until she reached my cock.
Taking it into her mouth, her tongue swirled around it as she sucked hard.
“Gods almighty.” My grip tightened on the bed sheets as pleasure coursed through me. She looked up at me through the curtain of her hair, her eyes bright with desire. My arousal grew harder and I groaned, tugging her up onto my body.
“I need to taste you,” I growled, pulling her until she straddled my face.
“Theron?” Her voice was hesitant.
“Hold on to the headboard,” I ordered, gazing at the perfect cunt above me, her single piercing gleaming in the firelight.
I wasted no time in swirling my tongue around her clit, teasing it until she was moaning and rocking against my face. I switched between licking the sensitive flesh and sucking gently, exploring every inch of her until she was shaking with pleasure.
“Oh fuck,” she moaned, her thighs shaking around my ears. My cock pulsed, precum weeping from the slit onto my stomach as I devoured her.
Her hands tightened on the headboard as I brought her closer and closer to orgasm. I squeezed her ass, holding her core tight against my mouth. She gasped, her cunt quivering against my tongue as I licked and teased her folds, savoring the taste of her. My fingers joined in, stroking and caressing, until Kael cried out my name, coming hard against my tongue as I drew on her clit.
