Starkeeper of the Fractured Crown

“She was nearing her end, he couldfeelit in his very bones. It was all he wanted. To claim her pleasure in such a way, she would be ruined forever. To claim her in such a way that she knew she would never find this with anyone else. Death slammed his fingers in once again but this time, he stopped on the way out and grabbed her clit between his fingers.”

Kyra groaned, her heart racing, her breathing labored as she stared into my very soul. Fucking me with her eyes.

I wanted to fuck her more than anything else in the world. Nothing else existed but this. My cock begging to be inside her, my hands pleading to wrap around that pretty little throat of hers.

I couldn’t stand it. I took a step towards her.

She gasped, eyes closing, body convulsing—

“Is she having a nightmare?”

It wasn’t often I was taken off-guard, but in that moment, Mark truly scared me.

I spun around, eyes wide.

Kyra jerked wildly. “Mark!” she gasped, shoving herself to a sit.

Mark rubbed his eyes. “Are you okay?” he asked as I took several steps away from the bed, my heart pounding, head spinning. Shit.Fuck!

Kyra swallowed, shuffling her blankets around, trying to fix her pajamas, I assumed, but I couldn’t look at her. Couldn’t breathe. “Yeah, little fox, I’m okay.” She cleared her throat. “What are you doing up?”

I turned away from him and rubbed my hand over my face, looking down to my bulging pants.Fuck.

“I had to go to the bathroom,” he mumbled, walking over.

I took another step away, closing my eyes, trying to catch my breath. I had never been taken by surprise. She had consumed me so fully that I had been unaware of my surroundings, of everything but my need for her, and she would pay for it.

“Was it like the others?” he asked, climbing into her bed.

“No, Mark.”

“Why was Mr. Trick checking on you? I could have checked on you.”

I glanced over as she pulled him close, her eyes immediately finding mine, still slightly dilated, but nothingcompared to what they had been seconds before. “He just heard me struggling,” she said, turning back to Mark. “He thought I was in trouble again.”

Mark nodded and turned to me. “Thank you for checking on her, but I got it from here.”

I didn’t have it in me to reply. Rather, I nodded and found her eyes once again before Jumping to the woods outside the cottage.

I ran my hands through my hair and shook my head. Fuck.

Fuck!

There was no way I was sleeping now. Not after seeing her like that.

A cold calm fell over me as my shadows drifted around me. I suppose I had time to do a little more hunting tonight before sunrise. Anything to release this pressure from inside of me.

I cracked my neck and Jumped to the caves.

My Bible, Chapter 7, Verse 8

The only way to gain access to my Kingdom is through me.

Kyra

Icould still hear that low, soft growl of Trick’s voice even as I stood in the alley across from the castle.
