CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Visla
I’d never been on the higher levels of the castle before, but there was a first time for everything.
Khol’s brother, Ghid, had contracted his builders to take out an entire wall so that Khol could have king’s quarters of his own. Being as stubborn as he was, he couldn’t bring himself to take Magdul’s quarters. Ghid, however, had no problems with hauling out Magdul’s possessions to make it his permanent room. Khol and Ghid were so different in many ways and I was only just beginning to understand that.
I pulled aside a curtain and looked out at the array of colors that the sun provided as it hung over the sky, starting its descent to make way for the moon and then the second sun. In Dretis, we had two periods of sunlight followed by a short period of darkness.
“What do you think?” Khol asked, coming up behind me and pressing his palm to my back.
“The bedroom? It’s nice. The castle is huge. There are many rooms and secret hideouts as I’m sure you’ll find,” I said.
“Yes, but I didn’t mean my room or the castle.” He wound his arms around my waist and pulled me back into his chest.
“Oh that…” I giggled. “Thank you. I enjoyed the surprise. I have a lot of unique pieces to add to my inventory.”
As Khol had promised, after our quickie session, he’d taken me via ground shuttle to the other side of the high hills where his scouts had reported an influx of gems from the channel after a period of drenching rain had fallen over the area. In the past, I’d been able to buy the gems from vendors and foreigners, but I’d never been able to travel there myself because it wasn’t easily accessible on foot.
“I thought you’d like it.”
“Yes, I did. And I enjoyed every moment with you.” I turned around in his arms. “But I should get back to my hut.”
He kissed my lips. “No one will bother you here.”
I shrugged. “I know. And I think my heat phase is fading.”
“It is?”
I nodded.
“Dinner is soon. The chef promised a fulfilling meal. How can I convince you to stay to join me?”
“It wouldn’t take much,” I teased.
“Good. It shouldn’t be long now,” he said.
“And then after, I should leave. I know you declined a meeting with a surveyor today because of our little date at the channel. I don’t want to keep you from your work,” I said.
“Don’t worry about that. Things will get done. I rescheduled our meeting for early tomorrow morning. Mornings are usually when I’m most productive anyway.”
“That’s why you left me last night.”
“I couldn’t wake you. You looked so peaceful sleeping.” He threaded his fingers through my hair and cupped the nape of my neck.
After gently pulling his lips down to mine, I lifted myself onto my tiptoes and pressed my lips to his. When he straightened up again, I had no choice but to wrap my legs around his waist. He turned around, pressed my back into the wall and deepened the kiss.
“What has gotten into me?” I mumbled aloud.
“I told you. This thing between us has nothing to do with your heat phase,” he replied.
His manhood was already rigid and hard against my sex.
“I want you to fuck me now, Khol,” I demanded, without taking my lips from his.
We kissed each other frantically and I worked my pussy against his erect form.
He took me over to the bed, set me on my feet and then tore my tunic down my front revealing my underdress. He pulled at the strings until my front was exposed. I slid the garment from my shoulder and stepped out of it.
