Chapter 138

It’s been such a long time, her mind whispered as he lay beside her. She turned herself into his arms, ignoring her protesting body. His large hands wrapped around her body, drawing her closer to him. She bit back a wince. Instead, she melted into him completely.

She felt him on her lower body. He was hard for her.

Raising her head, she stared up at him.

“Get some sleep, Danika. I will not make any demands on you. Not in your condition,” he stated flatly.

Her heart raced, and her mind whirled. He would be with her until she fell asleep, and then he’d return to his chambers. What if he summoned his mistress to satisfy him? Or Princess Kamara…?

Danika’s heart tightened in her chest, the thought of leaving left a foul taste in her mouth. She wanted to be the one who satisfied him. He’s this way because of her. The thought of him drawing pleasures from the body of another woman—or another woman bringing him to sexual release—did not settle well with her.
