“Every man is going to be looking at you tonight. They won’t be able to take their eye
s off you,” he growled against my ear.
He gathered the hem from my hand until he had found his way under my long dress. I didn’t protest when his fingers slid beneath my satin panties.
“And when they see you, they’ll know you’re mine.”
I nodded as he pushed his fingers inside me. I clenched around them wanting more than this. I wanted all of Damon.
“I’m yours,” I whispered.
“Fuck me like this, Molly,” he demanded. “Come on my fingers. Squeeze that beautiful pussy around them.”
“Oh God,” I groaned, rocking my hips into him as he pumped faster. He knew how to compel the orgasm from me with his dirty words.
“That’s it. Fuck, Molly. You make me so hard. I want to fuck you. Damn it.” I heard the anguish in his voice. “Too many layers.”
I grabbed his shoulders. It was starting to overtake me. I didn’t know if I could balance myself on my heels as I started to revel in the crashing waves of the peak. His thumb flicked over my clit, sending me headfirst into the orgasm.
I panted, trying to steady my breath. Damon’s eyes were on me. “God, you’re amazing.”
He straightened my dress, drawing his fingers to his lips. I watched in awe as he licked the tips. It was erotic and sexy. I started to believe anything this man did was sexy.
“Do you feel more relaxed?” he teased.
I fought for breath. “Somehow, yes.”
“Good. Because there’s nothing to worry about. I’ve got you.” He grinned. “And you are the Sauvage Royal Consort, Molly Washington. This night is about getting what we want.”
“If I get nervous will you pull me into the tunnels again?” I teased. My body was no longer tense. Damon had managed to erase the butterflies and the tension in my shoulders.
He kissed my temple. “If I pull you in these tunnels tonight, you won’t be leaving.”
My face flushed.
He laughed. “Because of that look. You just came in my hand and you still get shy. You still act surprised and I don’t think I can every get enough of your eyes when you come. You get lost in it.”
“Only because you take me there. It’s never been like that before.” There wasn’t an explanation for it other than Damon was what my sexual existence needed to be complete.
He exhaled. “You’re mine. That’s why.”
He said it with such certainty I was willing to believe the explanation. My body belonged to him. My soul. And I was starting to think my heart did too.
He glanced at his watch. “I have five minutes before I am announced. We need to hurry.”
He weaved his fingers through mine and led me through the tunnels. We walked down stairs and more levels of hallways. I would never be able to find my way back. We emerged in the library.
He grinned. “Thought this might be a good start. You can wait here. Ayla will come get you when it’s time.”
I gripped his hand. “Couldn’t I just sneak in? I don’t need a big announcement.”
“You do. It’s the official introduction that’s required of a royal appointment. You’ll be fine.”
He started to walk away and I felt the queasiness in my stomach return. “Damon,” I called.
He stood in the doorway. “Yes?”
“The vote. How did it go?”
