“Why don’t you be a good king and excuse those poor guards at the door?” I crooned, licking my lips and letting my mouth hang open—a clear communication of my intent.

“Guards, you’re dismissed from your posts!” he instantly shouted. “Inform those at the end of the hall not to let anyone pass.”

His deep command portrayed his growing desire. I let my fingers dance over my hips, raising my hem high enough to allow me to straddle him in his chair. Solid hands gripped my waist before running along the base of my back and curve of my ass.

“Our first political gathering as a married couple. Just another adventure we’re in together, yeah?” I cupped his jaw, gracefully caressing his cheeks with my thumbs.

He squeezed my ass and pressed me against his rapidly hardening length. “With you by my side, the rest of this life will be an adventure, my lady.”

I laughed and kissed him with everything I had.

In a king’s office, my husband and I promised with more than words that come what may, we would face it.

Together.
