Disseus must've fallen asleep because he woke lying next to her naked. A hand resting comfortably on his belly. Surrounded by the scent of her. And her softness along his arm and shoulder. His body was instantly responding.He caught her hip and rolled her atop him."Oh, no you don't!" She struggled against his grip. "It's first light and you'll leave my chamber immediately!""You think that'll save you?""Yes.""It only buys you time, Sweetheart. Time I'll spend deciding how I'll have you next.""Get out." She shoved him out of the bed, but he landed on his feet in a crouch.Animal reflexes unfailing.She bundled his clothes and threw them at him. Pointing toward the door.She was lying awake. Waiting for the sun to send its first fingers over so she could banish me. It irked him.He dressed and stepped out.And the door was promptly slammed behind him.He rounded and pressed his face to the door. "Time to get up and get on our way!" He shouted through the wood. "Hope you slept well.
"I said I'm hungry!" Nim screamed at the top of her lungs. Incredibly frustrated from strain, being awoken too early, from hunger and from dealing with the worst mount in history.Lonnix covered his ears to block out the shrill enraged sound. A wretched sound which seemed to echo through the thick trunks.Likely summoning every bandit for the next six miles. Disseus stoney gaze flicked to her in vague annoyance. Fully aware of why she was so pissed off.And not too far behind, myself."We men have no need to stop." Disseus said confidently despite that both he and Lon knew Lonnix's stomach had been uttering complaints for several hours.Gargling like a drunkard snoring in a tavern.Those were the last words, Disseus would say before she soundly knocked him off his horse. Propelling a rock the size of her fist, into his chest with extraordinary force.To her credit, she had tolerated much ribbing already this morning.***"A rock?" Using the ground for leverage Disseus leapt back to hi
She gasped. Lip curling in contempt. "You've become so foul.""No. I merely lost all respect for you." He rubbed her opening with two fingers feeling her slick and ready.His eyes widened as he withdrew his fingers slightly to examine them. "You already want my cock, don't you?"Her expression hardened and she refused to take his biting.He lowered his voice and turned it taunting. "So quick to dampen."Pressing his fingers more deeply into her and curling them forward in a way he knew would send a surge of wetness pouring from her. The spot that makes her weak.She glared hatefully at him. Locking her jaw rather than answering him.He smirked. "Me too."I already want inside you. Now. He pushed the two fingers more violently into her. Watching her reaction with interest.***She gasped and stood on her toes to escape the sensation. Her hands landing on his shoulders as though she considered stopping him.Good luck. He glared at her. A muscle in his jaw ticking. Every moment he consid
"No." She desperately tried to writhe away. Finally inching his hand from her mouth as she tried to escape him, but he came buried inside her."Take it." He grunted. Giving two short thrusts. "You should be good at that by now."Once he'd finished, he let his hand fall and withdrew from her. Letting her slide back to her feet.She angrily shoved her skirt done. Asking furiously. "Pleased?"He groaned in satisfaction. "You've no idea!"And I'll have more. His eyes lingered on the rosy crests of her exposed breasts.***Catching her arm, he yanked her dress back up over her breasts, noticing one nipple protruded at the corner. Unable to resist he lowered and plucked it into his mouth.She swung to slap him, but he caught her wrists and held them to her sides as he sucked on the morsel of skin until it was red, swollen and ached as though bruised.She flushed so red that even her breasts were heated a shade. "Are you quite finished."Mmm." He murmured. Angling around the crest to stroke
“She sees images of the future.” Lonnix explained.Talking about Almora.“How precious.” Nim said acidly. Unable to do anything other than dislike the beauty.Nim watched the two younger girls and Almora fawning over Disseus in disgust.“Is he above no woman? Not even young girls?”Lonnix gave her a startled look. “He takes care of them. He’s been like a brother to them.”“They don’t look at him like a brother.”“No, they don’t.” Lonnix admitted before defending. “He’s very generous.”“Oh, I’ve no doubt about that.”Lonnix guided his mare further away sensing that this conversation was suddenly spiraling downhill far faster than he could’ve anticipated.***Disseus assisted Almora onto her horse. Holding her waist as she found a foothold and climbed over the mount’s back. Curls pouring over one shoulder, she smiled prettily down at him. Reaching to trail a fingertip over a thin scratch marring his cheek.Asking in a concerned voice. “What happened?”His smile vanished. “I was dislodge
“I haven’t forgotten a word.” Her voice was soft as she focused on her attack.No. Just everything else.“Then you’ve slowed down.” He snapped sidestepping a hit. Aware he was trying to make her as furious as he felt.“I haven’t!” She shouted.He eyed her askance.“You’ve gotten faster.” She reluctantly admitted.Grunting, he turned his back on her and headed back to Onyx.Collecting a pebble, she hit him in the back of the head.Again? His teeth gnashed.Seeing his back stiffen, she frantically looked for a larger rock.Spinning on his heel he stalked back toward her. You're going to learn, you venomous wench!***“Why exactly are you so mad?” He stormed. Catching her forearm and yanking her against him.“You never came!” She yelled, hands fisting.Never came where? He blinked in bafflement.To find her in the Demon King’s lair? His slashing brows drew together.“You never asked.” He was much calmer than either of them had been moments before. Deadly calm now.“And you were the one t
“Ah. There you are, Little Ruby. I see you now.” The giant rubbed his chin thoughtfully. His eyes brightening at the rare beauty before him.Her riot of red curls pouring over her shoulders.The Witch, Almora, stared at her with widened eyes. Shocked that Nim would defend her.As we all are. Disseus had no explanation for why Nim had done it.“You’d rather die than go where they’d take you.” Nim whispered over her shoulder to Almora. Warning her to get further back and to escape these men.And I’m not letting them take you. Disseus jaw tightened until the muscle ticked. His hands working in slow fists.***Disseus was strangely still. Just watching.Lonnix watched him intently. Fingering the hilt of the sword at his hip. Waiting to follow whatever Disseus would do.But they all stilled as Nim spoke again.“If-if you don’t kill them, I’ll simply go with you and they’ll go back.” She gestured to all of them behind her. Lifting a palm in a motion to push them back.She wants us to withdr
Offering her a hand he tossed her atop her horse. Opening her mouth with a rebuttal she was too late.Turning he headed to Onyx and mounted without another word. But he veered the mount to stroll behind them. Close enough he could eavesdrop on Nim’s conversations with his inhuman hearing.Let’s see what she has to say now.Nim waited until Lonnix somehow mustered his way up onto the mare, sweat marking his brow as he breathed raggedly. Dangling over the horse’s mane.Unsure if a heart attack was imminent, Nim reluctantly guided her nag closer. “Are you well?”Not in the least. Disseus eyed the chubby fellow. Aware this was often how he sounded after climbing atop his mount.“No.” Lonnix huffed. “No. I am fat.” He put his cheek to his horse and wheezed until managing to catch his breath.Smile teasing her lips, Nim gave the back of his head a light reassuring pat.As if he’s a child recovering from some tiny wound. Disseus restrained himself from snorting at her motherly reaction.When
