Slowly though, I start to see the shape of the room. It all circles around the king and the queen, with the queen acting as the conduit between people and her husband. People jockey to be close to him, to speak to him, and to win his favor. But beyond that, there are other little fights happening all over, and although I don’t understand most of it, I feel like I’m slowly starting to get what people mean when they talk about courtpolitics.

By the time I finish my second glass of wine, it’s late, and some of the guests are starting to filter out. I didn’t even notice that it somehow went from early evening to after midnight. It felt like it passed in the blink of an eye, and I feel like I wish I had more time to sit here and try and figure out what the heck I’ve gotten myselfinto.

But before I can worry too much about it, Nolan leans over and whispers in my ear. “There’s one more tradition, princess, and I don’t think you’re going to likeit.”

I look at him with a slight frown. “What is it?” I askhim.

“You’ll see.” He pulls back and grins then stands up. He raises his hands in the air and suddenly the stewards lining the walls begin to loudly ring bells. The band stops playing and everyone stops what they’re doing, including the king and the queen, although the king looks like he’d rather be anywhere buthere.

Slowly, the party stops moving, and all eyes are locked on Nolan. He grins down at me and lowers his hands. He starts to speak in Polovian, but the gist is basically he’s thanking everyone for coming, or at least that’s what Ithink.

Then he mentions my name and holds out his hand. I take it and stand next to him. The whole roomapplauds.

“They’re cheering for you, princess,” he says. “Now here comes the part you’re going tolove.”

Suddenly he reaches back and literally sweeps me off my feet. The crowd goes wild as he heaves me into his arms, carrying me without any issue at all. I wrap my arms around his neck, eyeswide.

“Warn me next time,” I hiss tohim.

“More fun this way,” he says, laughing as he carries me across theroom.

The men begin to chant something in Polovian, which I don’t understand. The women with ribbons tied to their arms remove the ribbons, ball them up, and throw them at us. Most of the ribbons drop harmlessly to the floor in cascades of blue velvet, but some of them land on my body, making the whole crowd cheer the women who threw theribbons.

I’m laughing as we cross the room and finally make it out of the main banquet hall. Nolan puts me down on my feet and collects the ribbons that fell on mybody.

“Good luck,” he says, handing them tome.

I take the ribbons from him. “What were they saying?” Iask.

He grins and takes my hand, dragging me back toward our room. He’s walking fast, so I have to hurry to keepup.

“They were chanting an old Polovian thing, something everyone does at every wedding,” hesays.

“But what wasit?”

We reach the door to our rooms and he pulls me against him. “You sure you want toknow?”

“Yes,” I whisperback.

“They were telling me to bring you back to my room and fuck you until you’repregnant.”

I stare up at him, my eyes wide. “Really?”

“Yes,” he says, and leans closer to me. “And I hate to disappoint thepeople.”

A thrill runs down my spine as he pulls me tighter against him and kisses me full anddeep.

Nolan

Ican’t controlmyself as I push into our room, Hazel right behind me. As soon as the door shuts, I turn and pin her against the wall, kissing her softlips.

I’ve been patient, but after getting a taste of her pussy the other day, I’m out of patience. And besides, it’s tradition to fuck your wife on the first night. I need to consummate the marriage, afterall.

I kiss her full and deep before biting her bottom lip. I reach around the back of her and start to unbutton her dress as she presses my jacket off. I let it slide onto the floor, kissing herdeeply.

I get her dress unbuttoned and I tear it down the back the rest of the way. She gasps. “Nolan!”
