The morning sunlight streamed in through the tall windows of my suite, it was once again a new day in which I had nothing to worry about; no ghosts, no bastards trying to take my throne, and even better, a powerful ally.
Rafael had left long after midnight, after we'd had dinner and a after wine, after we'd returned to my suite and fucked again like wild animals, we'd fucked till my body was completely drained and I couldn't take any more of the strain, till pleasure began blurring into pain, and it was only then I was satisfied.
I'd let him stay longer than I should have, but I couldn't help it; he was really good at what he did and it was impossibly hard to get enough of him. And of course, I hadn't missed the way Elias's eyes had followed us through dinner, I could tell that he'd been so upset. His eyes had been dark and stormy and he seemed to be brooding coldly from a distance.
