“No,” he says. “No, Aefre. That is not going to help matters. Besides which, The Council is here.”
“Not for much longer. It will be wherever I say it is,” I say with authority and then curse myself for giving that nugget of information away, even to him.
His look of surprise turns to one of curiosity. “Oh?”
I try to look away innocently, but who am I fooling?
“Aefre. What do you know, that you aren’t sharing?”
“All will be revealed soon. I don’t know the whole story yet myself, only the bits She wants me to know, but CK, Ahmed was right when he said that I will rule, and I will rule alone.”
CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR
M y sire is less than pleased with my statement and my reluctance to share. I am, however, good at distracting him, even though he thinks he can stay focused. I s
hed my dusty robe in a show of nonchalance.
He narrows his eyes at me. “Lovely as you are, my sweet, if you think that is going to distract me, you are sorely mistaken,” he growls.
I’m glad that my familiar, foreboding sire is back. This other side to him has been very unnerving.
I smile seductively and start to play with my nipples, bringing them into two hard points, as my eyes never leave his. He doesn’t look down as I move my hands closer and closer to my clit, lightly brushing them over me. I moan.
“Aefre,” he warns me, “start talking.”
Instead, I slide two fingers down my slit and then bring them back up to my mouth to lick them. He inhales sharply so I know I’m close to getting him undone. I move closer to him, still sitting on the edge of his bed, and I stand in front of him. He smirks up at me and places his hands on my hips. I shiver at his touch as he moves his thumbs over to play with me. Circling in opposite directions, he brings me to the point where I’m about to throb all over. He stops suddenly and gives me a light smack on the rear. I glare down at him in fury to find he is smiling up at me with that innocent smile I want to knock off his face.
“Don’t be mean,” I pout, trying a different tactic, as I know fury won’t work on him. Petulance usually does. “Or am I going to have to call Ramon up here,” I add with a hint of mischief.
His eyes harden briefly as that thought sinks in, but then he sits back and holds his hands out in a go-for-it gesture.
Oh, really? Two can play this game. I gleefully abandon him in a swirl of black and return shortly, still naked I might add, with the handsome Ramon, who couldn’t be more startled if he tried. CK’s eyes light up at my defiance, even as he tries to hide his smile at my bold action.
“Oh, Aefre, you are in trouble now,” he growls as he stands and stalks over to me. He grabs my throat in his strong grip and pulls me to him for a rough kiss. I relax under his harsh touch as he has returned fully to my fearsome warrior that eats babies, not talks about having one. Okay, he doesn’t actually eat babies, but my point has been made.
He turns me around to face Ramon, who still doesn’t quite know what to expect here and I realize that I have made a mistake. Not that I wouldn’t care for a three-way, but I can’t betray Devon and Cole in this way. Speaking of Devon, where the fuck is he when you need him?
I tense up as CK grabs my nipples and with his eyes on Ramon, he rubs them till I’m aching for his cock inside me.
“Do you want us both to please you?” he whispers harshly in my ear.
I capitulate, as I’m sure he knew I would. “Just you,” I whimper in submission. He chuckles, dismissing Ramon with a flick of his wrist. He leaves in relief as, again, CK pulls away from me.
“You can’t win that game with me, Aefre,” he murmurs. “I know you too well.”
“Perhaps. Maybe if you go and get Devon, this would go a whole lot differently,” I challenge him in delight, which increases tenfold as I actually manage to piss him off.
“Not a chance, my sweet,” he recovers quickly. “This is the first night you will be in my bed all night for the first time in a long time. I am not sharing.”
I’m glad that he is finally distracted enough from my information slip-up, so I move closer to him. “What do you want me to do?” I murmur quietly as I kneel at his feet.
He gawks in surprise at me. I haven’t been so willing to submit this way to him for a really long time. He usually has to work a lot harder to gain this kind of control over me. He steps back. “Stand up, Aefre,” he says gruffly.
“No.”
“Stand up before I make you,” he threatens.
I don’t move.
