“That wasn’t what he understood.He was reading your soul, checking to see if you were safe.Most of his kind were killed by Dylin.He could sense you were no threat to him.”
“Mykind killed those beautiful creatures?”
“Don’t torture yourself anymore than you have already.These last few months, you’ve had a lot to take in.”With a flick of his fingers, his bath began to fill and the comforting scent of apple and cinnamon filled his bathroom.“Come on.Let’s bathe.”
Allowing Darce to rub and wash my shoulders, I looked out at Eallarim.“I can’t overthrow my father until I come into my power.What are we going to do?”
“We bide our time.”
“What did Nisha tell you the last time we saw her?”
“Alora, you know I can’t give you that information.The future is a fragile thing.”
“I’m not going to let you sacrifice yourself for me.”It was easier to admit these feelings when I wasn’t facing him.
“What makes you think I’m going to sacrifice myself?”Darce began to wipe over my back with a cloth.
“It’s the sort of selfless thing you would do.”I could hear the smile in his soft chuckle.“Promise me you’ll never sacrifice yourself in my place?”
“Where is all this coming from?”He moved in front of me, the water in the bath spilling over into the sheer drop of the waterfall below.“We will find a way.Isn’t that what we’ve been trying to work out all along?”
“Behonestwith me.How doomed are we?”Darce shook his head, laughing at me in disbelief.Unfortunately, it didn’t reach his eyes.He was hiding something.“Darce, I have a right to know.”
“We are well and truly doomed.”His face went serious.I was hanging on his every word.Was he about to finally confess?“I forgot to mention that mymotheris hosting a ball in two days for my birthday.You’re going to have toproperlymeet her as my date.”With a pout, I slapped his chest, annoyed that this was no confession at all.I had met his mother briefly plenty of times.Wait!His birthday?
“You celebrate birthdays?You never told me that!”
“It’s not everyday that you reach a new century.I’ll be three thousand seven hundred this year.”
“Well, I’m two thousand, two hundred and six.I have a bit of catching up to do.”
“Hmm...”Darce’s eyes darkened, gazing down at my breasts.“Well, I may be quite a bit older than you, but I’ve taught you so much that youactmy age.”
“Mmm,” I purred, wrapping my arms around his neck.“That is true.Thanks to you, I have the heart and body of a warrior.”Darce gripped me by my ass, pulling me against his hard cock.
“What else have I taught you?”he questioned, moving to kiss down my neck.
“To gut fish,” I teased, giggling as he bit my skin playfully.
“What else?”
“Patience...because you can be reallyfuckingannoying.”That got a chuckle against my skin.
“Anything else?”His lips were moving across my collarbone now.
“You taught me that I can use fuck or fuckinganywherein a sentence.Fuck, was that afuckinglesson.It’s becoming more difficult to hide my foul mouth in Dallethas.Noor tells me off for my foul language most days.”
“You’re getting side-tracked.What else have I taught you?”He rocked his hips against my sex suggestively.
“Hmm...I’m not sure I can think of anything else thatimportant.”
“You wicked creature,” he purred, moving back up my neck.“Perhaps I need to remind you.”Capturing my lips with his, he wrapped one hand around my neck, backing me against the edge of the bath.My legs wrapped around his waist as he lifted me out of the water.
“You’ve brought my dirtiest fantasies to life,” I moaned against his mouth.“Nothing feels as good as your mouth and fingers on me, apart from your glorious hard cock inside me.”Darce gasped and desire flooded his eyes at the sound of my explicit mouth.I had no issue expressing myself these days.
His hands moved to my sex and began to frantically rub.His mouth licked and nipped down my neck towards my breasts.My body was a slave to his touch, and I fell in a matter of minutes to the power of his talented fingers.
The moment I began to shudder, he thrust his cock inside me and began to fuck me, moving me up and down on his length at a maddening pace.
