Chapter Thirty
I dozed off and onin my prince’s arms, more at peace than I’d been in a long time. The only possible thing that could make it better would be my other kindreds in bed with us.
Aster finally roused himself. “I have to go. If I don’t show my face, there will be questions. I’m surprised no one has banged down the door yet.”
I stretched lazily against him. “All right.”
He kissed me. “I need you to stay here. No one would dare enter my quarters and hurt you. Sky or Saber should be back soon, they were planning on at least one of them escaping to return here.”
“I’ll be fine.” I snuggled back into the pillows.
“try to get some rest. I have a feeling you’ll be kept up late tonight.” His lips quirked with a grin.
I chuckled low, my body wrung out and sore, but it perked up at his words. “You won’t hear any complaints from me.”
“When I return, I need to speak with you about something. I should have before, but...” he trailed off. “Anyway. It’s important.”
I had a feeling I knew exactly what he wanted to discuss. Too bad I wasn’t going to agree to any of it. “All right.”
He turned me onto my back and cupped my face in one of his hands, pressing a hard kiss to my lips. “I’ll see you in a bit.”
I threaded my arms around his neck and pulled him tight to me, sliding my tongue into his mouth. He broke the kiss with a groan, his cock hardening between us, his forehead against mine.
“Evil temptress.” He tweaked my nipples in revenge and hurried off the bed, throwing clothes from his closet.
Aster stared at me with burning eyes as he dressed. I ran my hand down the center of my body with a teasing smile.
His eyes narrowed. “You will pay for that later.”
My smile widened. “Looking forward to it.”
He shook his head. “Those assassins have given you way too much leeway and taught you some bad habits.”
I spread my legs, flashing my wet pussy at him, utterly shameless. He cursed and hopped back onto the side of the bed, hauling me across his lap. I squeaked in surprise, then gasped when his heavy hand smacked my ass, once, twice, three times.
Heat spread across my cheeks and I moaned and wiggled in his lap. He shoved three fingers inside my sopping pussy, fucking me hard with his hand. The position I was in kept me tight, so I rode the edge of pain and pleasure. His fingers ripped out of me and he brought the flat of his hand back down on me. He aimed for the crease between my left cheek and thigh, then moved to the right.
Aster went back and forth like that for several minutes — taking turns spanking me and then finger-fucking me until I cried out my orgasm.
With a final strike to my quivering ass, Aster helped me back onto the mattress and stood, adjusting his clothes with jerky movements.
“That was just a taste of what you have coming for you later. Especially once I tell Whist.” With his dark promise, he strode from the room, leaving me gasping and trembling on his bed.
I couldn’t wait for later. Once I told them all my decision.
With a satisfied moan, I rolled off the bed and went into the bathroom to clean myself up and get dressed. I considered waiting naked for their return, but I was desperate to play around on Aster’s piano.
Dressed in a mix of Sky and Saber’s clothes, I walked down the hall to the main room. The piano gleamed, begging me to touch it, play it, learn it. I sat on the stool and slid gentle, hesitant fingers across the shiny black and white keys.
With no idea where to begin, I shrugged and pressed a few of the keys, learning the notes. Discordant twangs filled the air while I introduced myself to the new, magnificent instrument.
The slightest hint of confidence trickled through me, and I brought my hands down on the keys a little harder. My ears caught a sound behind me, but before I could turn around a hood was thrown over my face and my arms were caught behind my back.
I shrieked and kicked out, but something heavy smashed into my head, and the black of unconsciousness soon followed the blow.
