“You don’t need my permission to address them,Sihaya.They’re your people too.“ I paused for a moment. “You’re their queen.”
“I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to that.” She sighed, flopping onto the bed in a way that did more to reassure me of her healing than her impressive use of power. “We need to present a united front between us. Even if we disagree.”
I nodded, understanding her meaning, though I couldn’t help but tease her. “I would like nothing more than to unite our fronts,” I joked. “But you still need time to heal.”
Kael’s face lit up as she burst into a laugh. “Atar’s balls. You’re ridiculous.”
“And you’re still healing. In bed with you, love.”
She rolled her eyes, stretching out on her side as she let her robe fall open. “Is this good enough?”
I felt my pulse quicken as I took in her exposed curves, the fire inside me stirring. “It’s a start.”
Kael smiled, her eyes twinkling with mischief. She leaned closer to me, close enough that I could feel the warmth of her breath on my skin as she murmured. “You’re still worried about my injury?”
I swallowed hard and tried not to let the desire pooling in my stomach overwhelm me. My thoughts scattered as she brushed her fingertips over my leg. “Yes,” I said hoarsely, trying to focus on what she was saying instead of what my body wanted to do.
“It’s almost fully healed,” she whispered, arching into me ever so slightly and curving her body against mine in an inviting way that made it difficult for me to concentrate. “And I feel better now than I have in days.”
She presented herself before me like a goddess, her hair spilling across the pillow like a tangle of silver silk. I couldn’t resist any longer. I leaned forward to capture her lips with mine, feeling the heat between us ignite. Kael moaned into my mouth, her hands roaming over my body with a fierce hunger that matched my own.
I kissed my way down her body, savoring the taste of her skin as I moved lower. The wound she’d been nursing had nearly healed, leaving only a faint outline of the stitches that had saved her life. I pressed a soft kiss to her scar and found that it was warm and smooth beneath my lips. She shuddered in response, her body tensing at the touch.
My fingers roamed lower until I traced along the line of her hips and down toward her sex. She gasped as I teased the edges before pressing a gentle kiss to her swollen clit. Her breath hitched in response, and she began to rock against me with an increasing urgency that made my bones melt into liquid heat.
Her cries filled the air as I lapped at her folds and nibbled on her sensitive skin, exploring every inch of her body until she was writhing beneath me in pleasure-filled abandon. My tongue moved with increasing speed. I held her hips in my hands and traced her clit with the tip of my tongue. She gasped as I slipped it inside her, curling it against her inner walls.
I could tell from the way she gripped my hair and the little noises she made that she was close, but I wanted to draw it out as long as I could. To make her feel good. Loved. I needed her to know that I meant every word I’d said to her.
She gasped, her breathing ragged as she pulled my mouth tight against her sex. “Please Theron,” she moaned, “Stop teasing me.”
I grinned at her, my heart pounding hard as I pushed a finger into her.
She clenched around me and my heart sang as she panted. I increased the speed of my thrusts, adding a second finger and swirling them inside of her.
Kael’s body shook beneath me, her grip tightening on the sheets as she cried out my name, her pleasure reaching its peak. She collapsed back on the bed in ecstatic bliss.
I held her against me as her breathing slowed and our bodies cooled. Kael sighed contentedly against my chest before snuggling deeper into the crook of my arm.
I smiled at her peaceful form and kissed her forehead before whispering, “I love you.”
“I love you too,” she murmured against my skin, trailing her lips across my chest and reminding me of my unspent cock.
“We need to get up and start preparing. Somebody told the army that they’re leaving in the morning,” I grumbled.
She looked up at me with a mischievous smile and teased, “What happened to ‘they’re your people too’?”
I laughed and kissed her cheek, my fingers burying in her hair. “That was before I realized I could keep you in bed all day.”
Kael snorted, and we lay there for several more minutes until finally she sighed and said, “Fine. Let’s pack.”
With another lingering kiss, we got out of bed and began preparing for the last leg of our journey.
Chapter 22
Kael
Isteppedaroundthedeaza paddock, avoiding the congestion of camp as we prepared to depart in the morning. My side ached as I walked, but I ignored it. This was something I had to do. I reached the tent, and my heart started racing. Our prisoners were there. Caelia. Xadrian... I stopped just shy of the entrance when I heard murmurs coming from within.
