“Wait,” he says as he grabs my hand and pulls me onto his lap. “I want to fuck you. I want him to know that he can buy you t
hings, but you come back here and fuck me,” he adds, pulling my dress up.
Well, I’m not overly thrilled with his reasoning behind this. I don’t like being used to prove a point, but there again it isn’t like it hasn’t happened before or won’t again in the future and well, I do want him, so I let him. I lose my knickers as he pulls his already hard cock out and I thrust myself down onto him and wiggle as I settle.
He groans loudly into my neck. “Christ, you feel good. That’s it, baby. Fuck me,” he says as I start to move over him. He drops his fangs and feeds from me hungrily, squeezing my tits hard so that my nipples are two hard points brushing against the fabric of my dress. “Oh, god, Liv, yes, baby. I’m close.” He pulls on my hips to push himself further inside me and I whimper to let him know I’m close too.
“I love you,” I tell him as I come and he too lets go with a very loud, “Oh, fuck, yes.”
I mentally roll my eyes at him. There is no need for extra volume. Everyone can probably hear us anyway and I’m pretty sure we will be met with five avoided gazes and one furious one.
Turns out, I’m right, as we head back into the Main Cabin, hand in hand, after adjusting ourselves. Cole is smug and happy to have proved his point and I am left stuck in the middle. This isn’t going to be easy. I sigh and sit. I meet CK’s gaze and try to tell him with my wretched face that I do love him, and I love what he did. He gets the message as his eyes soften a bit and he gives me a small smile. My mind wanders back to some of the happy times we had there. I remember to this day, how we came to name the place, and I smile at the memory. We had a quick reminisce in Sibiu last year, but as the minutes tick away in an awkward silence, I remember as I look into CK’s eyes and he remembers with me.
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-EIGHT
Caen, Normandy, 1065 – Aefre
“I am so glad you came back with Constantine,” he said to me as I pulled the shutters closed. The wind had really picked up and kept blowing the candles out.
I turned with a big smile. “I was not going to let him come here all by himself. I would miss him too much.”
“He is too lucky to have a woman like you, one that would follow him across countries, and, of course, so beautiful.”
I flushed with the compliment. “Thank you, William,” I said as he took my hands and pulled me towards the roaring fire.
“You shouldn’t thank me, you should be with me,” he whispered against my lips. I pulled back moments before he was going to kiss me and that was how Constantine found us.
“William,” he growled as he pulled me towards him.
“Constantine,” he said back mildly. “Aefre and I were just discussing that you still have not named this place.”
“I am hardly here; it doesn’t need one.”
“Oh, but I think it does. It stands in my Duchy and I think you should name it. Or, better yet,” he added slyly, “you should let Aefre name it.”
Constantine looked at me and I lowered my eyes. “Aefre, do you have a name in mind?”
I shook my head. “No, but I will find the perfect name for it.”
“Very well,” he said. “Now, if you would excuse us, William, we have somewhere we need to be.”
I looked up at him. Did we? I did not know we were going somewhere.
“I will see myself out,” Williams said with a lingering glance in my direction. “One day, you will have to make an honest woman out of her, Constantine. She is far too pretty to remain unattached.”
“She is not unattached,” Constantine said with a cold look at William. “She is mine.”
“Then make it official, before someone else does,” he said and stalked off.
He turned to me and gave me a long look. “What other things do you speak of with him?”
A frisson of fear went through me at his tone and I looked down again. “Nothing important. We were just finished with lessons for the day,” I said quietly.
“Humph,” he said and took my hand. “I ought to put a stop to that.”
I bobbed my head in submission, even though I loved learning how to wield a sword. But if my sire did not wish it to continue, then I would cease.
He sighed. “Come here, lovely Aefre. I have missed you today.” He pulled me to him for a deep kiss that melted my heart and I clung to him.
