Chapter 11

Sasha woke to knocking on the door. She groaned.
“Who the fuck is that at this hour?,” came a deep male voice from beside her.
Sasha screamed and flailed. The bed she was laying on disappeared out from under her and she hit the ground. The door was thrown open and the king along with Kalani stepped in. Sasha pulled the blankets up to her chin. She popped up over the edge of the bed to see Malcolm laying next to where she had been ten seconds before.
“Why are you in bed? I thought you were going to sleep on the couch?,” she asked.
He rolled onto his back and put his arm over his face lazily. “I know you can’t smell it, but whoever you were dreaming of, made you smell amazing.”
“What?”
“You were aroused. I got horny. I crept closer to smell you while I jacked off.”
A wave of disgust crashed over her. He did what while she was asleep?
“Excuse me?,” she asked in shock.
“Your arousal is still in the air, woman! If you want me to not need to masturbate, try watching your arousal,” he snapped.
“I didn’t mean to. I was asleep. How do I control my body when I’m asleep?,” she retorted.
He bounced up out of bed. “You can’t control it even when you’re awake. I smelled you and that one,” he pointed at Kalani, “almost since you stepped out of the van.”
She glared at him. “It’s not my fault you are a shifter. Trust me if I could hide it, I would.”
“What were you dreaming of?,” Aiden asked.
Her head snapped around. “What?”
“What were you dreaming about?,” he repeated.
A blush stained her cheeks and she looked helplessly at Kalani.
“I.. ummm.. I have this recurring dream.”
“What about?”
“Your Highness-”
“Tell me.”
She licked her lips nervously, closing her eyes. “There’s this guy and he’s standing behind me, touching me. His hands are everywhere on my body. My breasts, my stomach, my vagina. His touch sets my body on fire and then he turns me around. I wrap my legs around his waist and fucks me like that.”
He tilted his head as he studied her. “Who is it?”
She dropped her head. “Sire?”
“Do you know who it was?”
“Yes.”
“Who was it?”
“Your Highness, I don’t think it’s necessary to-”
“Am I taking you away from someone you were involved with?”
“NO!,” she cried, her eyes raising to his to silently plead with him.
“Aja, tell him.”
Her cheeks grew darker red. “No.”
He pulled her to her feet and looked down at her. “Sasha,” he muttered softly, “if you have someone, I will send you home.”
A growl rumbled in his chest and his eyes flashed a red orange. She trembled.
“I..” She licked her lips. “I don’t want to say in front of him.”
Aiden’s eyes never Sasha’s face as he addressed Malcolm. “Leave for a moment, will you?”
Malcolm left with Kalani trailing nervously behind him. Aiden tilted her face up.
“Sasha, tell me about your dream.”
Her heart started pounding harder at his skin on hers and she knew he could smell her arousal.
“I.. I..”
He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. Her hand let the blanket go to fist his shirt and it pooled around her feet. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her up his body. She closed her eyes as she moaned into his mouth. She felt him get hard under her and she dragged her leg up the back of his. He lifted her higher and her legs wrapped around his waist. He gently pushed against her core, groaning when he pushed against the hard metal. Her arm went over his shoulders and she pressed against him. He carried her over to the table and set her on it. His hands landed on her hips and he tilted her forward as he began to kiss down her throat. Her head dropped back and she moaned. He went back to her lips to nip at them. His hands went into her hair and began to massage her scalp. She moaned again and he took the opportunity to thrust his tongue into her mouth.
“Aiden,” she moaned softly, closing her eyes.
A noise outside the door made her pull away from their kiss and drop her legs from around his waist. He lowered her back to the floor.
“I’m sorry, Sasha.”
She leaned against him for a moment, letting his fast paced heart rate thump against her forehead. Goddess, how she wanted him. This wasn’t fair. Why would they be put together and not be allowed to be together? He seemed to want her just as bad. Every dream, every fantasy had just come true. How was she supposed to walk around today being this aroused? She had never been this turned on, not even when Ethan had sucked on her breasts. The Goddess was cruel to have made such a perfect specimen to taunt her with. She ran her hands over his thick arms. A fresh wave of desire moved through her. She needed a release. She couldn’t very well beg him to take her right now. Could she?
“Can I have my key?”
He removed her arm from his neck. He stepped back angrily, making her stumble forward.
“Why?”
She knelt at his feet with her head bowed. “It’s not what you think, sire.”
“Then what is it?,” he growled.
“I’m wet,” she whispered.
“I know. I can smell you.”
“I just want to be able to touch myself.”
“No,” he hissed.
Her head dropped lower. “Sire-”
He stormed to the door and snatched it open. “Malcom, let’s go!”
Kalani came in and after taking one look at her sister on the floor, hurried across the room to sink to the ground in front of her. Sasha clung to her and ran her hands over her back.
“Lani! Are you okay?”
“Aja! I’m okay. Are you?”
Sasha stiffened and pulled back. She studied her sister's face.
“Have you been with him?”
Her face fell. “NO! I know he is yours.”
Sasha flushed and glanced towards the open door. “Lani, shush. Don’t go around screaming that.”
“I’m not. Did you tell him it was him in your dreams?”
“How do you know it’s him?”
“He looks exactly how you described the man. Not only that, but he smells exactly like you said he would. So, does he know?”
“No!”
“Then what were you in here doing for all that time?”
“Nothing! I swear!” Sasha flushed. “So, what’s the plan for today?”
She held up a piece of paper. “The king said we can go wherever we want. If anybody has an issue we are to show them this paper. Also, he said we could have the cooks make whatever we wanted for lunch. Do you know what you want to eat?” She grinned. “Besides, his royal highness, of course.”
“Shut up, Kalani. I do not want to eat him.”
She leaned close to Sasha. “OK, you want to swallow him like a milkshake. That is technically eating him.”
Sasha leapt to her feet. “Goddess, Lani! Don’t put what you want to do to the gamma off on me!”
It was Kalani’s turn to blush. “He is very handsome.” She fell silent. “Do you think Mom would approve?”
Sasha grinned. “Hell no! Does her opinion even matter?”
She thought for a moment. “No. Only yours. Do you approve of him? Do you think he’ll wait for me?”
Sasha walked over to drape her arm over her sister’s shoulders. She gave her a little squeeze.
“I saw the way he looked at you. If he doesn’t wait for you, I promise you, I will find a way to make him pay. With that being said, why wouldn’t I approve of him?”
“Because mom always taught us that races shouldn’t intermingle.”
Sasha laughed. “And what do you think, little white girl? Do you think races shouldn’t mingle?”
“No, I don’t. I think they should ride, get on their hands and knees, lay on their back and scream from the rooftop that they are one.”
Sasha laughed as she began to guide her to the door. “Do you want to ride the gamma, my sweet little innocent sister?”
They stepped out and froze when they saw said gamma standing outside the door with his arms folded across his chest, leaning against the wall across the hall. Kalani’s hands flew to her face to cover her red cheeks. He smirked.
“Do your teacher’s know that you two have such vulgar mouths?”
“Depends on how much you heard?”
“I’ve never wanted to be a milkshake or make someone shout from the rooftop so bad.”
Sasha burst out laughing while Kalani paled and her knees buckled in a little. Sasha sagged under her weight and Gregory quickly scooped her up. Sasha smiled softly when Kalani nuzzled into his chest almost helplessly.
“And you wondered what the King and I were doing,” she mused, as she took off down the hall.
“Fuck, Sasha wait!”
She glanced over her shoulder to see Kalani wiggling to get down. He let her move slowly down his body, letting her feel every inch of him. With his arm still around her waist, he leaned down to sniff her deeply. His eyes closed for a moment before he let her go. She stood there for a second, before scampering to Sasha’s side. Sasha’s eyes moved over Gregory’s face and she giggled. If he wasn’t so dark already she was sure his face would be flushed with desire. Kalani linked their arms together.
“We should get lunch situated. What do you want?”
“Lani, slow down. We shouldn’t take advantage of the king’s kindness. It will run out,” she said softly.
“I don’t think he will ever run out of kindness for you, Sasha. Last night, all he did was take me to a room and left me. He didn’t try anything with me. Like at all. He said 'goodnight, I’ll see you in the morning. Sleep tight'. A few hours later, I heard him hitting the wall and I asked him if he was okay. Do you want to know what he said?”
“Sure. What did he say?”
“He asked if you were a liar?”
