my mate, Jordan
Krell, Queen of Vor. You will rule Vor at my side.”
“Even though I’m
human?”
“You are my
mate,” he repeated, then watched the slow smile spread across her lips. He
could see her eyes darkening as the heat began to build inside her again.
“You know, I’m
probably going to want to change some things here if this is going to be my
home now.”
He frowned. “What
do you mean?”
“Oh, just things
like making sure that any humans you bring here don’t wake up chained and
terrified out of their minds. And maybe warning them about this mating stuff,
and try to get them to understand that if their mate shifts and changes into a
demon that he’s not trying to eat her.”
Laughing, he
leaned in to kiss her. “Is that what you thought?”
“Yes, I did.”
Jordan rolled
her eyes when he kept laughing and poked at him with her foot. He grabbed it
and pulled her closer so she was sprawled across his lap. “I do love eating
you, mate.”
Her body heated
at his words and her pussy went slick as she remembered how it felt when he’d
shoved his tongue into her tight, hot hole. Over the last few days, she had
gotten used to being naked around him. Hell, after everything they’d done
together, she felt closer to him than she’d ever felt to anyone in her entire
life. He’d fed her, bathed her, and even helped her each time she had used the
bathroom when she didn’t have the strength to walk.
Talk about a
whirlwind courtship of epic proportions.
Cool air blew
across her bare breasts, making her nipples harden. Kadan made that rumbling
purring sound in his chest that always made her shiver in response. She couldn’t
help rubbing against him and a flush of excitement covered her creamy skin.
“Stop that.”
“No.” His large
hands lifted to cup her breasts, his thumbs rubbing lightly against her nipples.
“You will be an asset to helping other human females acclimate to life here.”
“I need to
actually see life here beyond your bedroom before I can help anyone, big boy.”
He growled. “I
am no boy.”
“No, you
certainly are not a boy.” She reached up and ran her hand over the smooth skin
on his chest, playing with his own nipples in a response to his seductive
torture. “Kadan, I can feel the heat building again.”
“I know, mate. I
can feel it, too. When you burn, I burn with you.”
Jordan lifted
her leg so she could straddle him, then wrapped her arms around his neck. “I
can feel it, but this is the first time I feel like I’m in control of my own
body.”
She felt the
soothing stroke of his hands down her bare back. “This is a good sign, Jordan.”
Leaning in, she
used her tongue to lick at his lower lip. He sucked in a harsh breath, and she
smiled as he swallowed hard. “Do you know what that means?”
“No, what does
it mean?”
“It means that
this time, I get to be in control.”
CHAPTER SIX
Jordan saw the
light of challenge enter his amber eyes as his gaze narrowed on her.
“You do not
control me, Jordan. I am king.”
“And I—” she
shifted over him, feeling his cock harden further within the confines of his
pants, “—am your queen. You might rule your world, but if you want me to be
happy here, you are going to have to learn how to treat me like a partner.”
One of his brows
lifted. “You think yourself my equal?”
She poked him
hard in chest and felt like her finger might snap off. Damn it, the man was
hard as steel. It took considerable effort not to wince. “I was in command back
on my world, Kadan. Just like you are here. I won’t be happy just taking orders
from you.”
Huffing out a
breath, he reached up and grabbed her hand in his. He rubbed at her finger as
if trying to soothe away the sting. “I have been born and bred to rule in all
things, Jordan. You’ll rule by my side, but you will always be expected to obey
me. I cannot change who I am, even for you.”
Jordan understood
what he was saying to her.
