P-please.

She didn’t care that she was begging when heat swelled in the lower parts of her stomach, but Raine seemed to love it, from the loud growl shaking not only her but the table he now leaned his other hand on while the one working her began moving faster.

Fuck, you’re already so ready for me.

Stars danced before her eyes when his finger slid in deeper, and before she knew what she was doing, Frelina rolled her hips,driving it all the way in until his knuckle slammed against her pussy.

She and Raine moaned in sync.

Please,she begged again.

Yes.With that single word, Raine began thrusting his finger in and out, speeding up until her hips started rolling again, needing more, needing him to go harder.

“So ready,” he groaned into her mouth as he added a second finger. “Next time… it’ll be my cock feeling all this wet softness.”

At the same time as Raine started driving into her hard, he dragged his nail over her clit.

That did it.

Frelina squeezed her eyes shut so hard crimson light danced before them, and she bit down on something—Raine’s lip, she thought—as her body convulsed, something even wetter, hotter rushing through her pussy until every muscle within her stopped working.

Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

That wasn’t a fuck, little Rantzier.Raine gently shifted her to the side of the table, and she watched in fascination as he lay down beside her and began stroking his cock as he watched her come down from her orgasm.I… I can’t wait to actually fuck you… to fuck your wet pussy.

With that, streams of white shot across Raine’s stomach, and his groans echoed around the wooden-walled room as he slowed his movements until he finally stilled completely.

Frelina didn’t know what came over her, but as he continued watching her, she dragged a finger through the thick fluid painting his muscles and brought it to her mouth, tasting it.

It was salty and strange, but it didn’t taste that bad, she thought as she glanced over to Raine.

He met her eyes for a moment before throwing his head back and growling into her mind,Fuck. Now I need to come again.

Despite his words, though, he only dragged her to him so her back rested against his sticky stomach, and in what seemed like seconds, the Fae warrior fell into a deep sleep.

Hard table and all.

Chapter 31

Lessia

Salt stung her eyes, and she tried to shield her face behind Ydren’s thick neck when another tall wave threatened to rush over them as the wyvern swam through the water.

Ydren didn’t always seem to realize that unlike her, Lessia wasn’t built for water, and while she didn’t mind it—wasn’t afraid of its depths like she’d learned Frelina was—she couldn’t keep being slapped around by the strong waves that had started rolling in as soon as they closed in on Ellow’s borders.

Lessia stared at the familiar landscape taking shape over the islands dotting the dark ocean around them.

Ellow… She didn’t know what to feel anymore for the nation she’d called home for the past five years.

There had been a time when she’d have argued with anyone—even Merrick—that this was where she was meant to be. But now?

Even if there was a chance for her to survive this war, she wasn’t sure she’d choose to stay here anymore. The ship, while being Rioner’s, had felt more like home for the past few days than the house on Asker she no longer missed.

She knew it was because of Merrick and Frelina, and perhaps because she allowed herself to feel every happy emotion theyevoked in her, that she reveled in her feelings. Even Raine, who seemed to have perked up today and came armed with his usual crude comments, made her smile.

Merrick was certain something had happened between Raine and Frelina, had apparently seen her sister sneak out of Raine’s room in the middle of the night, but Frelina and the Fae warrior seemed equally happy, so Lessia let it be. If they could find even an ounce of happiness with what was to come…
