“Indeed. He is the only person in this kingdom right now who I couldn’t throw in jail or ban from this castle. My people would revolt, see me as an enemy of the church, though I’d bet that God would rather speak through a worm than this man.”
Alrick sank back into the couch, a serious look on his face. “What sort of man would your god approve of?” he asked.
I had to think for a moment. “Honest, selfless, dedicated to the poor. A true member of the church.”
“Can't we find a man like that?” he wondered.
“To replace Gunther?”
I toyed with that idea in my head. “It would have to happen slowly, and the people would have to like this man more than Gunther.”
“That could be done with charitable work, donations, or a lot of gold in general.”
“It’s still a long shot, but I have already increased the funding for those in need,” I said.
“Without harvesting the fruits for it?”
I looked at him in confusion.
“People need to know it’s you who feeds them. Spread the word of it.”
Tapping my lower lip, I thought about it from all angles. It was worth a try.
“I could find an honest priest from the country. Have him take over the charitable causes.” A small light of hope flared up inside me. “Alrick von Wilbrandt, you are a genius.” I beamed. “I will task Wimfred to find me a true man of God for this mission. One who is fair and kind.”
“Like me?” Alrick joked.
I laughed. “You would have to become a member of the church and renounce bodily pleasures. You and I could never again...you know.”
Alrick grinned. “Could never what?” he said in a seductive voice. “Do this?”
He ran a trail of tender kisses down my neck. I raised my arms to help him slip my nightgown over my head. For a brief moment, I felt almost shy to expose my naked body to him. It had been a while. But as the fabric slid the rest of the way off me, I began to burn with anticipation.
“You are so beautiful,” he said and moved from the couch to kneel in between my naked, spread legs. His hands massaged my breasts as his kisses continued farther and farther down my tingling body, over my abdomen and right to my hot core.
“What are you doing?” I moaned as a gentle kiss landed between my legs. It felt absolutely amazing. His soft lips and tongue sucked and caressed me over and over where I had never imagined before.
“I’ve dreamed of tasting you for weeks,” he groaned as he intensified the circling movements with his tongue against my wet flesh. I felt an immense pressure build. My heart raced and my breath came in quick gasps. It felt incredible. How could anything feel so good? I was getting close to the bursting sensation of relief.
“I want you inside me,” I begged as my body tensed, trying to stop myself from being pushed over the edge without him. I wanted him to feel as good as I did, but Alrick didn’t stop.
“I want to feel you come against my tongue,” he moaned in a low voice. I buried my hands into his thick hair as the last strokes of his tongue pushed me over that incredible cliff of relief.
“My love,” I called out as quietly as I could as my whole body tensed and trembled under his last kiss.
My eyes were half-shut, my mind and body still in a foggy state of passion, when Alrick pulled himself back up on the sofa next to me and slowly kissed my neck.
“By the gods,” he whispered under a fast breath. “I will go mad if I can’t make you mine.”
His words set me on fire all over again. I glanced at his manhood, which was pressing against his pants, erect, huge, and hard.
“Iamyours,” I said and ran my hand down his chest until I felt his hardness beneath my fingers. Quickly, he grabbed my hand and pulled it off.
The sensual mood that had filled the air moments ago was gone. I stared at Alrick. Rejected. Mystified.
“What is the matter?”
Alrick looked away, into the fire. “It’s just...until we are married, we can only go so far.”
