He shrugged. “That’s up to them.”
Madr had made his peace with his decision. Only the king could change things between them. He’d have to work hard to earn the right to Madr’s friendship.
“I hope the next hunt gives him a lovely woman who’ll love him forever.”
“You’re sweet to say that.” Stopping, Jaus turned me toward him. He stroked my cheeks with his thumbs then kissed me again. My belly fluttered and with a moan, I pressed myself against him.
He growled and lifted me up, deepening our kiss while pressing me against the wall of a building. I loved how I could make him lose control, how we couldn’t keep our hands off each other.
We broke apart, grinning at each other.
“You need to get me home, mate,” I said.
“Indeed I do.” He lifted me into his arms and raced through the streets, taking the back stairs three at a time. Inside our tower home, he kicked the door shut, tossed his mace across the room, and took me to our bedroom. He laid me on the bed and crawled over me, holding my face while staring at me in a dreamy way.
“Love you so much, precious one,” he growled.
“Love you too.”
We pawed off our clothing and both sighed when skin met skin.
Watching my face, he ran his hands up and down my body, exploring every inch of me. His touch was electrifying, sending sparks of pleasure through my veins. I shivered as he stroked me, his fingers tracing circles on my belly and then moving lower to the apex of my thighs. He kissed me again, pressing me into the mattress as his tongue caressed mine.
Cupping my breast, he teased the nipple with gentle strokes until it hardened, and I whimpered with need beneath him. Leaving my mouth, he kissed down my neck, nibbling hard enough I suspected he’d leave a pink mark. Branding me as his alone. His soft lips moved across my collarbone, and a trail of goosebumps rose across my skin. His mouth continued its journey lower and lower until he reached his destination between my legs. As he sucked on my clit, wave after wave of pleasure crashed over me, a tidal force that could not be slowed.
I grabbed onto the sheets tightly as Jaus slowly brought me higher and higher, his mouth and teeth finding each pleasure point and giving it focus. He slipped his fingers inside me, and I jerked my hips up, crying out my joy.
He kept up the pace, drawing out my pleasure until I was close to the edge. I screamed out his name as an orgasm washed over me, feeling like I could stay there forever. Jaus didn't stop though; he kept going until he’d wrung everything out of me, and then he kissed his way back up my body.
He flipped me over onto my belly, lifting me onto my knees. His hard length pressed against my entrance. He slowly slid himself inside me, bit by delicious bit. I gasped as he filled me completely, the sensation almost too much to bear. He began to move, thrusting deep and slow. Leaning over me, his hands found mine, and he laced our fingers together.
Each of his thrusts sent heat and need blasting through me. Every nerve tingled with anticipation as Jaus sped up his rhythm, pushing us both closer and closer to the cusp of something wonderful. As I gave in, letting the sensations ripple through me, he went faster. His body tensed, and he let out a loud groan that echoed across the room like thunder.
We lay there for a moment afterwards, panting and shaking with pleasure until we finally came back down from our high. Jaus rolled off me and pulled me against his chest, wrapping his arms around me from behind.
“You stun me, tiny mate," he whispered into my hair before pressing a kiss on top of my head.
I smiled and snuggled into him, drifting to sleep.

I woketo Jaus shifting behind me and a hoarse cry outside. “They’re coming!”
Shrieks echoed the guard’s call, as did the blowing of a horn. Dresalods were attacking.
Jaus’s arms tightened around me but only for an instant before he slipped from the bed and started dressing. “I must go.”
“We’ll both go.” I wanted to see if our work over the past few weeks would make a difference. If the lindenmint plants and leaves on the shore had no effect, what could we try next?
My throat tightened at the thought that we might’ve worked for many days only to see no difference.
In no time, I’d tugged on a dress and stuffed my feet into my shoes.
Jaus stroked my face, his worried gaze sinking into mine. “You should stay here where it’s safe, love. Please. If I’m battling with Feyla, I cannot be distracted. My fear for you would eat me alive.”
“I could go to the wall.” I shook my head and gave him a wry smile. “Our friends won’t arrest me this time. They’ll watch over me. I’ll be safe there. If any dresalods climb the wall, I promise I’ll run down the stairs and keep going until I’m safely inside our home.”
He gnashed his tusks, but I could see he was relenting.
