Page 32 of Tethered Thrones

I scented the air and nearly drooled. I didn’t know if humans called this scent pheromones too, but try as he might to deny it, Sun loved a bit of bullying. He loved being ordered around.

He had the fate of the world on his shoulders now. If I could take it off of him just for a little while, as he begged on his knees and gave into my orders, he felt relief. His embarrassment was just a little treat on top.

“I will do everything to please you. I will warm you from the inside out.”

He preened at that. So transparent.

Sun was happy and horny, the best possible combination. I let him slide from me and groaned. As he bent over, I took him into my arms and rolled into a ball. I lifted him and finally ate my fill. I suckled his puckered hole, holding him mid-air, and then lavished his straining cock with affection as he hung in front of me, alternating as Sun moaned and whimpered.

He complained with that filthy mouth of his, but Sun adored getting his ass eaten and his cock stroked, milked until he was trembling and crying for more.

“Mine,” I groaned and meant it deep in my soul. He parted his cheeks wider for me, as best he could upside down like he was the batbeast hanging from a tree.

I didn’t waste time prepping him for long since it was clear that Kiar had been inside him already. Taking him to the ground, I laid Sun out on my belly. He turned his face towards my cock, and I sucked him greedily as I squeezed his cheeks. He came in record time, abandoning even the pretext of pleasuring me, too, as his seed shot into my mouth.

But I didn’t mind. Pamper. Protect. I was in a good mood, too.

After his climax slammed into him, I spun him back around. I forced his essence between his stubborn lips, and he moaned loudly now, shivering body eclipsed by my own as I kept him as warm as I could, wrapped in my arms.

“Why did you make me swallow my seed?” Sun asked, slightly disgusted.

“Remember, it’s not a punishment if you enjoy every last second of it.”

He smirked. A challenge. Vexing little thing.

I held him close, squeezing the air out of him and wiping that naughty smirk from his face. I knew he preferred to be on his knees, but we’d do things my way today. Without much fanfare, I fisted my cock and forced myself inside his clenching hole all at once, taking immense pleasure in the sob that broke into a scream muffled by my chest.

And I didn’t hold back, slamming into him, eyes rolling back as he quickly sprayed my stomach with another load. But I wasn’t finished with him yet. My thrusts were deeper and moreerratic than they’d ever been. I couldn’t control myself. I was completely and utterly lost in him.

Before, I had resisted the tether, believing him some weakling. But Clem, my sweet Clem, had found something else impressive in that dreadful book. A tether could not be formed against one’s destiny. Against their will, yes, but a tether was the physical manifestation of a shared fate.

A soul bond deeper than even the bonds nocs uttered to declare their claim on another. That’s what Sun and I, as well as Kiar, Hadi, and Clem, shared.

“You’re my bonded. Our bonded. My fated. You’re mine,” I growled, driven faster to climax by the familiar bulge of his stomach as I squeezed myself inside. It was so intoxicating to feel myself stretching him beyond his limits. We were limitless now.

“You keep, ah, using that word. If you love me, you can say it now— Fuck! Bracken!”

I paused my thrusts and ministrations. It was so very… human, that damnable word.Love. Bonded was better, stronger—fidelity beyond lust or the fickle desires of the heart.

Another rustle. Another rush of air. I suppressed a manic grin, wondering when Hadi would finally breech the trees.

“Open for me, bonded.”

“That word again,” Sun whimpered as I commenced pounding his hole into sweet oblivion again.

Did he take too many knocks to the head? What was so hard to comprehend?

“It’s similar to a husband in the human tongue. Similar but not quite the same,” I offered a clue, and hell, maybe I was going to die soon because it was as close to confessing as I’d allow. “And you are my bonded now and forever, Sun.”

Sun went absolutely still, then squeezed me so fucking tight, so viciously, I could do a little more than whimper. Whimper! Itwas outrageous, and I couldn’t hold it anymore. My climax came all at once, like tipping over a mighty mountain and letting the winds guide me back to the peak.

We lay in a perpetual state of bliss for a long moment. Then, someone stirred again in the forest, menacing, and I smirked.

I wanted to use Hadi this time to the fullest extent and savor how hard Sun would come apart at living out his darkest, most forbidden desire?—

To be made low, like a whore, before his mortal enemy, the king of nocs.

But he hadn’t noticed him, too thrown off by me, no doubt. And he hadn’t cum again, even as I soaked his insides. Sun whined low and hard, trying to prolong the pleasure, as if I wouldn’t fuck him again and again until he couldn’t stand anymore if he desired it. And I wanted to, but…
