“Perhaps, but was it for her life?” I asked, idly wondering how far he’d take this conversation, how much he would reveal. “I mean, the men you chose to train her are harming her, yes. But it’s all for sexual gratification. She knows that. So while she might fear the pain, does she truly fear for her life? Enough to fight?”
He rubbed his chin, considering, while the female atop him began to mewl. Necros knocked her to the ground with a flick of his wrist, causing her to cry out. “Shut up,” he snapped. Then looked at me again as if he hadn’t just assaulted a female on the edge of an orgasm.
And this was what Valora had lived with all these years? Fuck.
“You bring up an intriguing point, one I hadn’t considered.” He sounded quite pleased, if a bit mystified. “She doesn’t feel the need to fight because she knows she’s not in danger.”
Oh, she wants to fight, I thought. She wants to kill you all. “I’m still not convinced she harbors a power beyond that of her mouth around a cock,” I said, feigning disinterest. “Just my observation.”
“Mmm,” he murmured, not listening to me at all. And not because of the female trying tirelessly to suck him off.
I pretended to ignore him, my focus shifting to Riian. A trickle of blood from my bite had trailed down to her collarbone. I lapped it up, earning me a purr from the succubus. Her desire blossomed in my senses, telling me how starved she was for attention. Necros didn’t know
how to treat any of his females, it seemed.
Or perhaps he just didn’t care.
“You will keep my wife occupied for a few more days,” Necros decided, shocking me for the first time tonight. “While I orchestrate something—a surprise of sorts—for next week.” He finally looked at me again. “I’d lock her in her rooms, but she wanders into the gardens from there, and I’d prefer her to remain broken on your floor. It’ll keep her weak.”
“Of course,” I replied. “Shall I continue training her?”
He lifted a shoulder. “Fuck her all you want. It’s not like I’m getting much joy from her these days.” He glanced at the female curled on the floor. “Why have you stopped pleasing yourself?” he demanded.
She immediately continued her ministrations, her posture stiff and unyielding.
Necros sighed, shaking his head. “All of you are fucking useless.” He tugged the female off his cock and tossed her to the side. “I need a walk.” He stood, fixed his pants, and made to leave, then turned back to me. “Feel free to use them as you like. I won’t be back tonight.”
“Can I take them to my rooms?” I asked, not wanting to stay here where cameras would capture my every move. “Perhaps Valora will learn a thing or two from watching us all?”
The king seemed to consider, then smiled. “Yes. I think she’d enjoy that very much.”
“Your hospitality is astoundingly gracious, My Lord,” I said, bowing my head. “Thank you.”
“Of course.” He was already lost to his own thoughts again, his face clouding over in contemplation. “Enjoy your evening, Prince of Noxia.”
“Oh, I will.” I took in the females before me and allowed my vampiric senses to take over, just in case he studied my face later in the films.
He left us then.
Not caring at all that I might feed and kill one of his harem members.
I made a show of tasting each of them for the cameras, taking their blood into my system to better control their minds. It would make the rest of the evening so much easier.
“Come, ladies,” I cooed, leading the trio with a thick strand of lust looped around their essences. “Let’s retire, shall we?”
I paced the room for the thousandth time, debating if I should just return to my own rooms or wait for Adrik to return.
From what? I thought with a laugh. A fuck party with my husband?
Ugh, Adrik still hadn’t opened our link. I had no idea what to think. What if Necros realized we’d been working together? What if we hadn’t gotten away with this at all and Necros had led Adrik away to his slaughter?
No. He’s stronger than that.
And he’d reach out to me then.
Right?
I shook my head on a growl, irritated with myself just as much as with Adrik. It was ludicrous, really, to be upset. We were not promised to one another. Had never once discussed a relationship.
