His Royal Mate 24
I kissed my way down to her breasts, taking each nipple into my mouth as I focused on bringing the buds to their peaks. She moaned under my lips, and my cock stabbed her soft thigh, wanting attention. Her hips bucked gently into mine as I kissed my way down her center, tasting her soft, clean skin, then the tiny thatch of hair above her pussy.My hands softly pressed against each of her thighs, spreading her legs wider so that I might kiss her nether lips and arouse her to the heights I’d already reached. She moaned louder as my tongue swiped across her center and dove inside her, tasting her sweetness. I then kissed the inside of each thigh, teasing her as I returned to her pussy and kissed her clit, then made my way back up to her lips.“Make love to me,” she begged. And I did as I entered her gloriously tight body, feeling the rush of euphoria she always gave me.“Yes,” she hissed, wrapping her arms and legs around me as I started to pump in and out with a tender rhythm.“I love yo
His Royal Mate 25
We exited the ship, Bindi and the two soldiers she’d brought with her being the first to exit. She and her guards stood two by two on either side of the ship’s exit ramp, standing at attention with their crossbows in arms at their sides. They were armed and ready as Sire Vanoire exited next with Halo behind him, then Aria.As soon as Aria stepped out of the airbus, there was a roar of cheering. Something that threw her totally off-guard. Her steps faltered a little, but she regained her composure quickly as she descended the ramp. I followed her, virtually unnoticed. I didn’t care—my last visit to the falls was disastrous—but it seemed that Queen Nadine and Bastien Salt had all but forgotten the horrors of that night when Aria was abducted by Polonius just before I was thrown to my death. Hopefully, this visit wouldn’t end in tragedy.“Welcome, Aria, queen of Onyx Rah.” Queen Nadine bowed her head. “And Halo Goldlace. We are glad to have you come. You and your entourage are welcome he

“Oh my goodness. Thank you,” Aria said, red tinging her cheeks. “I have no way to repay such kindness,” she said, forgetting that she was soon to be the ruler of the most coveted land in all of Voltaire.Onyx Rah had the potential to grow more crimson pitaya plants than any other place in Tobran. The proximity to the volcanos and their heat provided the perfect growing conditions for them. Soon, she’d have more crimson pitaya than any other kingdom.Queen Nadine was wise to get into Aria’s good graces early and establish an alliance. Angeline Falls was rarely under attack, but if they ever were, their troops and citizens would be quickly decimated as they’d never allowed violence and weapons beyond the city gates. None of the citizens were trained to fight and would be easily picked off.“The queen only requests that you enjoy her gift in good health,” the servant who’d spoken replied. “Thank you, Your Majesty.” The servants bowed again and backed out of the room.“I don’t know if I’l

I knew I would follow Aria wherever she went. If she were to leave Onyx Rah and relinquish her throne, I’d bring her with me to rule Navarrah City one day. I didn’t have my hooks into the kingdom’s eventual crops of crimson pitaya. I just loved the woman who was brave enough to serve as their queen.“You’ve been an excellent diplomat, Lex,” my mother said consolingly as she took her seat at the table and picked up her cards again.Cheyenne also sat down and hailed a servant who was standing at the door. “More wine,” he commanded.No one around me flinched. The Cheyenne I knew before I left Navarrah City wouldn’t have dared command anyone in my father’s presence. That role was reserved for the king and his successor.“Yes, Lex,” my father said. “I’m very excited about the emerging prospects. Not only will there be crimson pitaya, but Aria will no doubt have a robust army and an ability to offer a line of defense against the Crypt Claw. Also, with Polonius’s treaty broken, we retain the

“He’s been doing a fine job of it,” I said with a smile.“Fine enough, but you must look like a queen,” Halo said. “You need your hair done and your dress fit just right. When we get back to the kingdom we’ll have to get servants situated. We can’t keep using magic to dress and feed ourselves. We need to save our spells and energy for growing crimson pitaya and restoring…oh so many things.” She rolled her eyes at all the daunting tasks that lay ahead of us.“Let’s just focus on getting dressed. The rest will come,” I said, trying to calm her a little. “Did you receive garments, too?” I asked as Halo sifted through the dresses I’d hung up in the wardrobe that were sent to me by Queen Nadine.“I did, and they are just as beautiful as these. I never thought agreeing to help you raise Onyx Rah would have so many perks.” Her joyful voice squeaked a little.“Neither did I,” I told her as I slipped out of my night dress.“Wait! Lex is still in the room,” Halo hissed, looking horrified.“He’s

“You’re going to do great,” Lex whispered as I stood to approach the podium, giving my hand a squeeze.“Thank you,” I whispered back, then I took my place at the podium. “And thank you all for being here today to offer your support. As you know, Onyx Rah was destroyed and its citizens were killed, but there are descendants of the few survivors who remain.It is my hope that we welcome them back to Onyx Rah and that we are able to provide them sanctuary and support. In order to bring Onyx Rah back to its original prosperity, we must first establish a military presence, bring in law enforcement, and build up the infrastructure. Our hope is to invite former Onyx Rah citizens and descendants to return to the kingdom. All we ask is that each bring a skill we can use to rebuild. They need to help with farming, construction, and establishing a means for citizens to buy food, get water, and live their daily lives. Those who are from the Midnight Moon Pack will be allowed to live in the kingdo

“No!” I shouted to Lex. “No. I’ll handle this. You will not.”He sat down and closed his mouth, fuming with anger, but he was staying silent. Bastien looked at Lex and nodded his approval. I was not going to lose Lex again, not because of a tyrant like Polonius.Polonius looked at me and smiled as he let go of Gabrielle’s hand, who was still not making eye contact with me.“Good, my dear,” he said. “I warned you about making political decisions based on your personal preferences. Remember, you were given to me in a treaty that defined terms forbidding me and my army from invading Navarrah City. I have a copy of that treaty here.” Polonius took a stack of papers out of a leather satchel. “As worded, the treaty also protects the other kingdoms of Tobran from an unprovoked attack.” He sneered.“That treaty was never signed,” King Helix interjected.“Exactly,” Polonius said. “The treaty was never signed, but the marriage contract that was included with it was. And here I have Aria’s signa

Was he giving up on me, too?“But I can’t,” I choked out.“It is the most strategic move,” Lex said. “He has the manpower to bring Onyx Rah to its feet, and at the moment, he has Amadeus. Don’t get me wrong, I want the man dead—we all do. I’d throw Polonius over the falls in a heartbeat.”At the mention of murdering Polonius, Bastien cleared his throat.“But,” Lex segued, “if Polonius thinks he’s going to marry you, we have a chance to build our armies.”“Lex has a point,” King Helix added. “If we have Polonius’s compliance, we might be able to get Amadeus away from him as soon as he lets down his guard.”I could see Queen Nadine’s wheels turning. “Do you have a way to postpone this wedding, Aria?”“Yes,” I said. “I believe I do.”As we were speaking, I’d devised a plan that I hoped would work. I knew what Polonius wanted, and it wasn’t just me, but Onyx Rah for the crimson pitaya and the potential to rule the world by withholding it from everyone. I realized that I knew what was most
