I pour us each one and bring her hers as she leans down, searching.
I take mine and cross to the couch, grabbing some mail off Lonan’s desk first. I pull out the note from the first open envelope, re-reading Cas’s words about what he has scouted on Alder’s formations outside Squall’s End.
Ollie eventually sits next to me with a big old book in her hands. It’s a book on laws of Faery. I cock an eyebrow at her butshe doesn’t answer. I lean down and take her ankles in one of my hands, rotating her so she’s leaning against the arm of the couch with her legs in my lap. She makes a pleased sound and relaxes.
It’s a couple hours later when I finish the letters. Ollie is still combing through her book. I clear my throat. “I was hoping you’d be willing to join me again in some blade training.”
“No.”
“Pardon?” I hadn’t really expected to her be excited about it, but I didn’t think I’d get a flat refusal either.
“I said no, Kai. I’m terrible with a blade. It’s fine. I have you and Lonan. And my magic. No point in making me miserable trying to learn how to swordfight.”
I lean back, opening and closing my mouth. I can’t come up with a good response to that so I just sigh.
“I need to get up, princess. I have some things that need to get done. Are you alright here by yourself?”
She arches a white eyebrow. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
I chuckle and lean down to kiss her.
AFTER SEVERAL HOURSof sparring, I head to my rooms for a quick shower. My cock is hard and aching. I start to stroke myself but I stop, frustrated. I can’t take this any longer. I need to be inside my mate again. Ollie had a very short cycle. I know that the more powerful the female Fae, the shorter her cycle, as she’s magically incapacitated during it. But that meant I only got to fuck her once.
The thought of her, straddling my lap, during our game of Commander’s Cups, whispering that my willingness to stop whenever she asked made her want to submit to me, rolls around my head over and over. And the way she responded to Lonan, “punishing” her for our play in my rooms. Fuck, she loved it. She obviously loves to both take controlandto havecontrol wrenched from her. I would never, ever, do anything to harm her, to make her feel as if I didn’t care for her wants, her desires.her.Fuck, that thought turns my stomach.
But the idea that she, like Lonan and I, like to play with the idea of control and submission just makes my cock ache.She’s perfect for us, of course she is.I make my decision.
I head up to Lonan’s rooms.
“Hey flame,” Lo purrs, looking up from the book he’s reading on the couch. I just grunt. I need Ollie.My spirit mate.Perhaps once she accepts the bonds, this need for her, this desire to be inside her, will ease.
Oleander is in bed, hair wrapped on top of her head. I climb on the bed, over her body and she grins at me, her smirk satisfied and knowing of my devotion to her. And I am. But tonight, I’m going to use her body as I need.
Once I’m straddling her, I kiss her, deeply, and wrap my hand around her throat. She whimpers and I feel her hips shift.
When I pull back from her soft lips, I hear Lo enter the room and sit in a chair near the fire.
“I’m going to use you, Oleander. And you’re going to accept it. Because this is your fault, little mate.”
She blinks, head cocking. “What Kai?”
But I’m done with words. I stand, tugging her with me. I kiss her again, then spin her and bend her over Lonan’s tall bed. I pull up her white linen shift so her ass is exposed. She rolls her hips out, as if to give me access to eat her sweet cunt.
I chuckle. “Oh, no, baby, I’m not pleasuring you. You’re pleasuring me. And since you chose not to suck my cock dry every night like you should, given you won’t let me use your cunt, I’m going to take what I need.”
I grab the lube.
“Kai, I cannot get pregnant–” she starts, pressing up, but I grab the back of her neck and push her back into the bed.
“I know, princess. That’s why I’m going to fuck your ass.”
The sound that she makes is outrage but I lube my cock quickly. I press two fingers up her tight hole and she squeaks, trying to stand. I push her back down. I slide my fingers in and out, even as my cock drips steadily onto the floor. I don’t want to harm her, so some warm up is likely needed.
“Have you been fucked here before?” I ask, thinking again about how much adjustment she’ll need. “No, wait, don’t fucking tell me, I have enough Fae I need to kill without adding to the list.” I pull my fingers out and she squeals.
“Kai!” She yells, trying to stand again. I note that she doesn’t use the word stop, as she had asked me if I would honor, when we were playing cards.
I press one hand between her shoulder blades and use the other to line up my cock. I press in, getting to the ring of muscle. I push hard but slow. For a moment, I get nowhere, though Ollie starts to pant loudly and squirm. And suddenly her ass opens to me and the head of my cock is inside my mate. Inside my mate for the second time ever. I close my eyes, drifting, blissful, at the feel of her, at the feel of the connection between us.
