“He didn’t give them any information.A Noxlin would rather die than give up Eallarim.We’ve already lost so much.Duncan does make fucking good mead, though.It’s the best in the city.”After taking my first sip, I had to agree.“Charna tried to bond herself to me a thousand years ago.”The sudden information had me choking on the mead I was drinking.Darce moved to gently pat my back.“Sorry, maybe I shouldn’t have blurted it out like that.”
“You’re theprince.How the fuck could she even try to bond with you?”
“She possesses a little dark magic, but nothing like mine.”My eyes widened.“It was written in The Book of Elder World that the two who can harness the full power of Solace will be bonded for eternity, fated in a way no other has ever seen.Charna believes that’s me and her.My parents believe she is my chosen one, and that we’ll find our way to each other one day.”
“What if I’m standing in your way?”WasCharna meant for Darce?She was a safer option than me.
“Youare all I have ever seen, Starshine.”
“Choosing her doesn’t start a war, though.”
“Alora, she’sinsane.”I urged him to continue before I took another sip of my mead.“She tried to put alovespell on me.Obviously, Nyx and Mrak worked it out and told me.I acted like a lovesick fool for almost a month, which, back then, was unlike me.”
“Why do you keep her around if she’sthatdangerous?”I gasped.
“It’s easier to keep her under control here.The fire twins keep a close watch on her.”Reaching out, he took my hand in his.“You have nothing to worry about.I won’t let her near you.I’ll get a protection spell done if you’re concerned.”
“I’m not worried.I’ve dealt with something similar back home.He believes I’m his property.He wants my power, not me.Now I understand why.He wants to use it to destroyyou.”Darce was gripping his jug of mead tightly.Something in his eyes made me wonder if he had worked out who that male was already.
“Motherfucker!It’sXavier,isn’t it?”He asked, his tone deadly.I nodded.“Has hetouchedyou?”
“No.”That made Darce relax a little.“He thinks we’re going to rule Dallethas together.My father has promised me to him.”
“Over my fucking dead body!”When he slammed his fists down on the table, I jumped.“When you talked about being forced to bond with another...the time you asked me how to bring a male to his knees...that was all because ofhim?”
“I couldn’t tell you when you didn’t know I was the princess, and when the truth came out, it slipped my mind until now.”Blushing at the thought of all the things Darce and I had done this week alone, I looked down at my drink.“You have to admit, we have been a little sidetracked with all the...fucking.”Darce’s lips curved into a smile.“You’ve deflowered me.Youwon.”
“This wasn’t some contest, Alora.I’vecravedyou for a long fucking time.I take no pleasure in knowing Xavier wants you, too.How am I meant to protect you from him if he learns what we’ve done?What I’ve taken from you.”
“I gave myself to youfreely.Nothing wastaken,” I soothed, stroking his hand with my fingertips.“And I’d do itallagain.”Leaning into him, I captured his lips with mine.A low moan escaped my mouth and my back hit something soft.
Darce ripping at my clothes told me we were in the comfort of his bedchamber again.He was frenzied as he pulled the last of my fighting leathers away.His mouth clamped around my right breast and I cried out at the glorious pleasure.
His hand snaked down my body, making its way towards my sweet spot.Opening my legs wider, I welcomed it, rocking against his hand as Darce began to play me in the way only he could.
“Shine for me,” he purred, working his fingers faster against me.I had no idea when he’d changed my appearance again, but I could feel my body begin to burn, the light hairs on my arms standing up as a current began to charge through me.“Hold that power, Alora.Use it to make your climax more intense.”Doing as he said, I held it, allowing my power to scorch my veins as my release ripped through me.
Before I had even come down, Darce thrust inside me, holding my hips tightly as he gave me everything.Wrapping my legs around his hips, we moved as one, synchronised in a way I’d never experienced before.
With each thrust, my body began to coil more, needing all the friction he was giving me.
A wisp of his darkness covered me, dimming the pure light that was building across my skin.It felt like a soft caress over every inch of me.
My nipples were on sensory overload as the shadows continued to flick back and forth over them.Others gripped my inner thighs, moving lower and running over my bundle of nerves while Darce continued to thrust in and out of me.
“Ugh!You...don’t...play fair,” I managed to force out, feeling my orgasm begin to bubble to the surface.
“I’m going to make you cum at least another three times before I empty myself inside you.Fuck!Watching you come undone is addictive.”I threw my head back, my second release shooting through me like a thunderbolt.“Mmm...what shall I make my shadows do now?”The ones at my breasts were already moving down my body towards my sex to join the others there, leaving traces of moisture in their wake.
When they reached their destination, they began licking over my bundle of nerves.I couldn’t quite make out how many tongues I felt, but each one was expertly licking all the right places and felt like Darce’s own talented tongue.
“F...fuuuucccck!”I cried out.The pleasure was too unbearable.My body wouldn’t be able to take my next orgasm.
“My cock is so drenched from your juices, Starshine.Can you feel how easily I am slipping inside you?”Rolling his hips, he pushed deeper, making me bite my bottom lip painfully.
When my next orgasm surfaced, it erupted so quickly that it set off Darce’s.My body was still humming as he stilled inside me and released his own load.Once he was spent, he slumped down beside me, his eyes alive with awe.“I’m not sure how I’m going to cope when you leave me in two weeks.”
“I’ll be back.”
