Page 13 of Their World (Her Royal Harem: Lily #2)

Chapter

Thirteen

Trey walked into my room and closed the door behind him. His eyes roved over me and he swallowed hard. “I know you’re mad –”

“Not mad, hurt,” I clarified.

He nodded and took a step closer to me. “I understand. I would feel the same way if the tables were turned. But, Lily, I couldn’t disobey them. Even if I had stepped forward, they would have just held me back or thrown me into a cell as well.”

“So, even if you were my mate, if they tell you to lock me up, you’re going to?”

He growled deep in his chest and his eyes flashed, shifting into his dragon’s eyes.

“It’s been a long day,” I said and pulled my blankets up over me. “Can you turn the light off on your way out?”

“I’m sorry,” he said and knelt by the side of my bed next to me. “I’m sorry, Lily. Please, please understand.”

Understanding why he did it wasn’t the issue. I did understand. But I also felt betrayed.

“I let Mason go, knowing he was going to free you, knowing he would help you. I helped as much as I could.”

“I know.”

He grabbed my shoulder and rolled me onto my back so he could look at me. “Lily …” His eyes widened when he saw the tears on my cheeks and he reached out, wiping them with his thumb.

“We’re supposed to always have each other’s backs,” I reminded him. “We promised.”

Throwing my covers back, he slid his arms beneath my back and legs, picked me up, sat on my bed, and set me on his lap. Wrapping his arms around me, cuddling me against his chest, he kissed my cheek and licked my tears. “I’m sorry. I swear, I won’t ever let it happen again. I swear that you are the most important person in the world to me. All I want is for you to be safe and happy.”

“That’s not always a possibility for royalty, you know that.”

He stroked a hand up and down my arm as he held me.

His warmth, his familiar scent, his body wrapped around mine, and his apology mixed together and leeched away all the pain and anger, leaving behind a deep exhaustion.

“We were so worried when you left,” he whispered and tightened his arms around me. “We had no way of knowing if you were safe or not.”

“How long were we gone for?”

“A few hours,” he said.

Our timeframe matching had to be because the Grand Advisor hadn’t been able to manipulate my mind.

Trey leaned back, cupped my cheek, and turned my head to face him. “Liliana, talk to me. You’re keeping so much inside your head while your face is showing a variety of emotions. Talk to me.”

“Stay with me tonight,” I said and looked into his eyes. “Please.”

His eyes widened a bit. “You want me to stay here?”

I nodded. “I have an awful feeling, one that’s followed me since I was in the demon world. I … I think something awful is about to happen.”

Trey kissed my cheek and rested his forehead against the side of my head. “I won’t let anything happen to you.”

“Will you stay?”

He nodded. “Whatever you want.”

Scooting over, he let me crawl out of his lap and lay down. Immediately, he spooned his body around mine and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me tight against him.

“Remember when we used to camp out?” he asked. “How mad Caleb was at first and how Ember convinced him to let us stay?”

There were many nights that Trey, Mason, Kayden, Tony, Maya, and I spent simply living in the forest, sitting together around a fire, then cuddling together to sleep. We’d done it during the summer and fall months from the time I was six until we were twelve. Dad had been nervous about boys and girls being alone together, but Mom reminded him that we were gallivanting around our territory all the time alone and we hadn’t gotten into trouble yet. He finally caved.

“Those were some of the best nights of my life,” Trey whispered and kissed the back of my head. “Being with you for as long as I wanted. Just existing. No royal training, politics, or enemies. Just us being us.”

“Then we had to grow up and the fun ended,” I whispered.

He nuzzled my neck and kissed it softly. “Whenever we had a particularly bad battle or my mom would hound me about getting a mate, it was those memories that helped me get through it. You’ve always been the light to escape my darkness. I’m sorry about the years apart. I’m sorry you had to face things on your own and you thought we didn’t care for you. I will spend the rest of my life ensuring you know how much I love you. Ensuring I do everything in my power to make you happy.”

“Trey?”

“Yeah?”

“Mark me?”

His body shuddered behind me. “You’re sure?”

I rolled over to face him and nodded. “I am.”

Brushing my hair back from my face, he said, “Answer something first?”

“What?”

“Are you sure there’s nothing between you and the demon king? Mason told us how he treated you.”

Smiling, I tapped the tip of his nose and asked, “Are you jealous, Prince Trey?”

“That’s what I need to know, if I should be jealous.”

“No, I am not interested in the demon king. Like I told you, my heart belongs to you three and has forever.”

“And forever after?” he asked, his lips so close to mine that our breaths mingled.

“Through this lifetime and any future ones.”

His lips pressed gently against mine as his hand slid around my side, to my back, and pulled me flush against him. His erection pressed into me and I whimpered.

He licked the seam of my lips and I opened them, letting him deepen the kiss. He kissed me slow and thoroughly. Leaning up, he pushed me onto my back, kissed his way from my lips, down my jaw, and to my neck. Reaching down, he slid his hand beneath my pajama pants waistband, his fingers sliding through my slick folds.

His breath hitched. “So wet for me, hm?”

“Always,” I responded truthfully.

“I’m going to make you come, and then when you’re about to come the second time, I’m going to mark you.”

“Yes,” I breathed.

He thrust his fingers inside of me and we both moaned.

“You have to be quiet,” he reminded me. “The others are downstairs and we don’t want them coming to investigate before we finish.”

I nodded and gripped his muscular arms, reveling in the way his triceps flexed as he moved.

Dipping his head back down, he nipped at my neck, my collarbone, and my shoulder. “Where do you want my mark, Lily? On your neck? Your shoulder?”

“Somewhere visible,” I answered.

He groaned and thrust his fingers into me faster. “Good answer, Princess.”

I gripped his shoulders, my eyes closing as I felt my orgasm already building.

“After I mark you, I’m going to fuck you until your legs are jelly. Until you’re covered in my scent and there is no mistake that you’re mine.”

“Yes,” I whispered, my breaths coming in fast pants the closer to my orgasm I grew.

He adjusted the angle of his fingers and within seconds of stroking me, I came, having to bite his shoulder to keep from screaming out. “That’s my girl,” he purred and resumed kissing and licking my neck. “One more time and I’ll mark you.”

“Please,” I begged as he increased his pace.

“Mm, don’t beg, Princess. Tell me what you want. Order me.”

“Harder,” I said and squirmed to try to adjust the angle.

He shuddered and bit my neck gently. “Yes.”

As he obeyed, my orgasm crested, and I whispered, “I’m close.”

“Orders?”

“Mark me.”

“What was that?” he teased and started to slow down.

“Faster and mark me, now,” I ordered and hissed softly.

His fingers moved faster and as my orgasm hit me, he bit down on my neck, making the orgasm even stronger.

My mouth opened to cry out and I had to cover my mouth with my hand to stop the scream as stars danced across my vision from the pure euphoria.

Panting, I felt like my heart might burst through my chest with how hard it beat.

He licked the mark and said, “I’ve been dreaming of this night, pleasuring myself to the thought of doing this, for a decade.”

“What?” I gasped.

Lifting his head, he smiled and said, “You’ve always been the one for me. I was just too scared to admit to you how much you owned me. That you own my soul.”

Looking into his piercing green eyes, I said, “You’re not done yet, Prince Trey.”

He arched a brow.

“Didn’t you say you were going to cover me in your scent?” Pulling my shirt off and shimmying out of my pajama pants, I lay, fully naked, in front of him. “I’ve yet to be covered in your scent.”

He stood out of the bed, stripped out of his clothes, and my mouth watered at the sight of his erection. He was average length, but thick.

“Like what you see, Princess?” he asked, a cocky smirk on his face.

I nodded and crooked my finger at him. “Get over here and put that inside of me.”

“Who am I to deny the wishes of a princess?” he teased as he climbed back onto the bed, crawling up my body and dropping kisses from the top of my foot, up my legs, and all the way up to my mouth. “You are the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen. I don’t know what I did in my previous life to deserve you now, but it must have been truly epic.”

“You always know the right thing to say to flatter a girl,” I said as I reached down and gripped his erection.

He sucked in a breath.

“But the time for pretty speeches is over. Now, now is the time to follow through on your promises.”

Gently, he gripped my wrist to make me release him and took that wrist and put it above my head. He grabbed my other wrist, and put it over the first one, then gripped both in one hand. “I love it when you order me around, especially when it allows me to touch your body.”

Stroking his free hand down my side, he brushed his fingers along my breasts and down to my legs. With a push, he moved my left leg, giving him room to kneel between my legs.

We both stopped when we realized he didn’t have a condom.

“I’m not on birth control,” I whispered, and bit my lower lip.

He reached over, grabbed his pants, and pulled one out. “When you admitted you wanted to mate with us, I thought it might be prudent to keep one on hand, just in case. Turns out that was correct.”

Once he slipped the condom on, he positioned himself at my entrance and slowly, slid into me, stretching me to accommodate his girth.

“Yes!” I said and arched my lower body.

He groaned and dropped his forehead down to rest against mine. “You feel so good,” he whispered. “So wet, so warm. So tight.”

“No more talking,” I ordered.

He pulled out and thrust back into me hard. “As you wish, Princess.”

Continuing to keep my wrists captive above my head, he kissed me while he moved. Sliding a hand beneath my lower back, he lifted it up, altering the angle, and the deeper access and thrusts had me throwing my head back, biting my lip to keep from crying out.

My orgasm exploded so forcefully that my entire body arched off of the bed with the intensity.

Trey grunted, pulled out of me, grabbed my legs, and pulled them off of the bed. “Onto your stomach.”

Flipping over, I stood with my legs off the bed, and my upper body on the sheets.

He growled softly and stroked his hands along my butt and around my hips. “Perfection.” Gripping my hips, he pushed back into me slowly, but once he was fully inside, he said, “Use the blankets to keep quiet.”

I opened my mouth to respond with something snarky, but he slammed into me so hard and fast over and over again that all I could do was grip the sheets, bury my face into them, and try not to collapse as three orgasms back to back tore through me.

My legs shook with the effort to stay upright.

He slid his hand under my stomach and up between my breasts, lifting, he pulled me so I stood upright with my back to his chest as he continued to move in and out of me. Licking the side of my neck, he whispered, “I’m so close. I didn’t … I didn’t think you would feel so damn good. I can’t hold back.”

“Never hold back with me,” I ordered him. Taking the hand holding me upright, I moved it so he grasped one of my breasts. “Come for me, Trey.”

He rubbed his face against my neck and shoulders, ensuring his scent covered me.

I moaned softly and leaned down so I was bent over.

He gripped my hips again and increased his speed, our skin slapping together so loud that I knew our attempts at keeping quiet were now ruined, but also not caring.

Another orgasm tore through me and I bit the blanket and screamed into it.

Trey grunted as he found his own release and stayed buried inside of me as he caught his breath.

After going to the bathroom to clean himself, he came back, still naked, pushed me into the bed, and curled around me, our naked, satisfied bodies, melding together perfectly.

“I love you, Lily.”

“I love you, too, Trey.”

“Tomorrow, I’m going to take you somewhere, okay?”

“Okay,” I agreed.

“And tomorrow, Mason, Kayden, and I are going to show you exactly what we had planned when we finally convinced you to follow through with your promise.”

“Tease,” I whispered as my heavy eyelids became too heavy to keep open.
