Fucking liar. We all knew he lusted after the queen, and I was just another pebble in his shoe.
I raised my head up to my queen, my pulse thundering. “I would never. Who—” I choked on a sudden coldness thickening my throat.
“Don’t lie to me,” she spoke with a deep voice, one I recognized too well.
“This is the fourth time this week I’ve been accused, and each time I proved I took nothing.” I knew the moment I replied, I’d set her off.
Fucking idiot! Shut your mouth.
Her face twisted into something ugly, into the real beast. The one who lived behind that beautiful face that fooled me into believing she might one day be who I longed for.
“Are you calling your queen a liar?”
Captain Vero stepped closer, shoulders broad, a growl on his throat. My ribs still stung from last week’s beating where he broke three.
I swallowed hard, biting my tongue, retreating. Her eyes darkened, narrowing on me.
An icy chill swept over my skin with a single blink of her eyes. I shuddered as the cold deepened, seeping into my bones and stealing my breath.
Her magic was a cruel whip she used on me too often.
“Stop it, please,” I pleaded, resisting the urge to retreat. That only made her angrier.
Lips peeling back over her fangs, the hair on my nape stood up as she climbed to her feet, standing before me, showing me everything I craved. Everything that reminded me I was worthless.
The freezing touch of her power rushed over me. Teeth chattering, I reached for her. “Make it stop.”
The floor was iced over, and the air I drew in with every breath grew colder and colder in my lungs.
She strolled around me as the cold seeped into my marrow, the feeling from my body fading, and all I kept thinking was that this time she'd finally kill me. She’d push it too far.
Sharp stabbing pain bled through me, and I hugged my arms around myself, trembling so hard, I couldn’t see straight.
My queen approached me. “You have never been my favorite, Tempest.” She reached down and ran her fingers over my hanging cock. Heat burned everywhere she touched, the pain like shards of ice slicing my dick.
I hollered, liquid agony pouring over me, and I somehow managed to take a step back from her touch.
Eyes flaring, she came after me, snatching my cock in her fist, her hand on fire from her magic, and I shouted in agony while she laughed in my face. But the longer she held onto me, the more her warmth spread over me, chasing away the cold. I leaned forward, desperate for more, aching for her touch.
Her nose scrunched up at my reaction in disgust. She’d never enjoyed touching me; even the times she’d taken me as a necessity to feed her population, she scratched and bit me, leaving me hating myself worse.
“Listen here, you piece of shit. I brought you into my home as a favor, a promise to keep you in my servitude, but nothing about you is good enough for me.”
She squeezed my cock, and tears were running down my face as I squirmed, teetering on passing out and falling over.
“So…if I say you stole from me, then you fall to your knees and apologize. If I ask you to fuck my steed in the barn, then you’ll do it.” She sneered. “You think I enjoy having to fuck all five of you pathetic monsters? I feel dirty and sick to my stomach each time I do, but I play a role. And so will you, Worm.”
I gritted my teeth and thrust my chin forward, meeting her gaze. It burned into me. Maybe she saw something behind my eyes that she approved of, because she finally released me. I bit back a pained moan as the cold raced over my cock once more; the rest of my body frozen from the inside out.
“The worm has a spine, can you believe that?” she said over her shoulder to Captain Vero.
“Your majesty, did you want me to chop off his cock so he never touches you with it again?” he growled, staring death daggers at me.
She was prodding her chin. “Tempting, but I think our worm has learned his lesson.”
I stood trembling, the sensation of icicles stabbing me deepening.
“Actually, no, I changed my mind,” she purred with a sound that scared me. “Vero, leave us alone. Out. Now!” she demanded.
