Chapter 30

Kalani
The king’s door shut behind them and Gregory took her hand. He began to lead her down the hall. She made it halfway down, before she stopped to lean against the wall, panting. Gregory paused beside her, turning towards her.
“What’s wrong, Annie?”
She let out a labored breath. His eyes roamed over her.
“What is it?”
“Please, don’t be mad.”
Frustration rose in his chest at her lack of an answer and he had to take a deep breath. “Baby, tell me. I can’t promise you that I won’t be mad. I don’t know how I will react.”
She laid her hand on his arm. “Can we go to your room?”
“Sure.”
He hurried them to his room. As soon as the door closed behind them, she dashed to the window, ripping her dress off. She pressed her back against the cold glass, sighing in relief. Gregory slowly crossed the room to her side.
“Annie? What’s wrong? Talk to me,” he muttered softly.
“Please, don’t be mad,” she begged.
“Annie… I promise to not yell or break things, okay, but that is the best I can do. I do not want to lie to you.”
“Alright.”
She collected her hair in her hand and slowly turned around. His heart stopped beating when the criss crossed marks on her back came into view. Her shoulders slumped forward and she whimpered when his fingers moved over her back, barely even grazing the raised skin. He sank to his knees behind her.
“What happened?,” he croaked, his voice breaking.
She put her face against the glass. “I felt everything they did to her, just like before.”
He began to lick over her skin, paying special attention to the broken, jagged parts. He meticulously tended to her until nothing, but smooth, perfect skin passed under his touch. He wrapped an arm around her waist and laid his cheek against her lower back.
“Why didn’t you tell me?,” he asked. “I would have healed you.”
Tears coursed down her cheeks. “I didn’t know if she was alive and if it was to be the last thing I ever did with her, I wanted it to be etched into me to fuel my revenge.” She sniffled. “I will kill them, Gory. I will hunt them down and make sure they feel every ounce of torment they dished out. I want to make them lose every drop of blood they took from us and I want them to beg for mercy, knowing that nothing they say will change their fate.” She trembled. “We were children. Aja was three when the abuse started. It’s all I have ever known.”
He kissed up her spine. “Nobody will ever harm you again. I will protect you for all eternity.”
“And Aja.”
He sighed. “We will protect her, too. I promise.”
“She deserves it more than anybody else I know. I know the king thinks she can’t be trusted, but I know her. If she wanted to complete her mission, she would have. She loves him. We have got to help them fix this.” She turned in his arms and he kissed her naked stomach. She brushed her fingers over his hair. “Thank you for healing me.”
“You are mine. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for you.”
She sighed. “I suppose I should get back to Shaun’s room.”
“Shaun is in the adjoining room with Sherri.” He took her hand. “Stay with me tonight, please.”
She blushed as she eyed the bed. “I- I’m not ready.”
“We don’t have to mate. I just want to hold you.”
He ran his finger up the inside of her forearm to the crook of her elbow. The electricity that chased his touch enticed her to stay.
“But.. wouldn’t that be hard for you?”
He chuckled. “Not any harder than smelling you right now while trying not to notice that you don’t wear underclothes.”
Her arm shot across her breasts and her legs crossed. He gently moved her arm.
“You don’t have to be shy with me, Annie. You will always be perfect to me.”
He picked her up and took her into the bathroom. He locked the adjoining room’s door, before starting the shower. He adjusted the temperature until steam filled the room. He tested it, nodded to himself, stipped his clothes off and picked her back up. He carried her into the shower and sat on the built in ledge along the wall. The hot water cascaded down over them and she moaned. His cock twitched, smacking her ass.
“Gregory?”
“Yeah?”
“I heard sex hurts and you feel really big.”
“When you are ready, we will go slow.” He squirted some shampoo into his hands and began to work it through her hair. “Your body will stretch and it won’t want me to leave.”
He shifted her so that she was straddling him. He held his cock down until she was in position before he let it tap her pussy, wringing another moan from her. He sucked in a deep breath and used her hair to pull her backwards. His lips moved over her breasts as he rinsed the shampoo out of her hair. He took her nipple between his teeth and rolled his tongue around it. She trembled.
“Gory,” she moaned, running her fingers through his thick curls.
He cupped her other breast as he continued to nibble on her skin. She moaned again and he cursed. His hand cradled her head and his arm went around her waist. He bent her backwards until he was able to gently lay her on the floor of the shower. He sat back on his heels and let his eyes move down her body. Her cheeks were tinged pink and her green eyes were swirling with desire. Her plump strawberry colored lips begged to be kissed. He groaned, before putting his hands flat on the floor to lean over her to do just that. He licked and nipped at her lips until they opened for him to enter.
His tongue slid slowly over hers and he showed her how to move hers. He tangled his tongue with hers as he cupped her breast, gently pinching her nipple. Her fingers shyly moved up his chest until her arm was around his neck. He pulled away to kiss over her cheek and down to her neck. He lavished small kisses over it until he reached the crevice where her neck met her shoulder. Her head fell back and she moaned. He sucked on her neck, relishing in all of her small noises of pleasure. He left the spot to kiss further down her body to her chest. He lingered there for a few minutes sucking, biting and massaging them.
“Annie,” he murmured. “Do you trust me?”
Her heart started pounding erratically as she thought about his question. Did she trust him? She looked down at him as she pondered her response. She swallowed and nodded slowly. He kissed down her stomach to the tight red curls at the apex of her sex. He buried his face in her curls, inhaling deeply.
“Gregory?” He lifted his head and Dayan’s orange eyes startled her. “Dayan?”
She tried to squeeze her legs together, but he lifted her hips up, pulling her towards him as he did. He put her legs over his shoulders and spread her folds apart. He met her eyes as he leaned down to inhale her scent again. He put his mouth on her pussy and growled. The vibrations heightened her desire and his eyes flickered back to brown.
“Has anyone seen you like this?,” Dayan asked.
“N- No.”
“Has anybody touched you like this, Annie?”
“No.”
“Good!”
His eyes settled fully back into Gregory’s brown ones. He tilted her hips up more and nuzzled his face in between her legs. His tongue came out and licked her from top to bottom. Her body trembled when he blew on her and she got even warmer between her legs. He swirled his tongue around her pussy before slowly sinking his tongue in as deep as it would go into her. Her back arched and she cried out as the electricity that had been coursing through her intensified to the point where she couldn’t breath, but he didn’t give her time to catch it. His hands moved to cup her ass, holding her body in place as he continued to ravage her core with her his tongue. When he felt her pussy start to spasm and grip his tongue, he moved up to suck on her clit. He rolled it between his teeth and she screamed out. Wave after wave of pleasure shot through her as her pussy continuously clenched and unclenched. She came up off the floor with the force of her tremors, before sliding back onto it. He guided her body to the floor, chuckling when she inhaled water and began to choke. He pulled her up and patted her back. He kissed her neck.
“Stay with me tonight, Annie.”
“We shouldn’t.”
He smirked at her. “What happened to fuck the king?”
She giggled. “Alright. Fuck the king.”
She leaned over to place a quick kiss to his lips. He ran his finger over her lips, before trailing them down her chest. She shivered at the contact.
“When you’re ready, I will show you that there is more to your body than even you know.”
She stared at him, wondering if what he said was true, but from the look in his eyes, he was going to take her flying in more ways than one.
