Once His Bully. Now His Whore 222
LADY BAEVERAThe afternoon's final meeting had run longer than anticipated, which was the natural consequence of textile merchants who had strong feelings about dye lots and even stronger feelings about being heard expressing those feelings at length. I was in the middle of redirecting the discussion back toward the supply agreement on the table when the door opened.Revandrel walked in.I…stared.He’d been meant to remain in the capital for several days, yet here he was, still dressed for travel, exhaustion in the set of his shoulders.There was a restlessness about him too that made my concern rise immediately."Cel'theren…" My head of trade looked up with visible startlement, and he was not alone in it.Every face around the table went alert in the particular way of people recalibrating quickly. The history between that name and mine was not private knowledge, leaving themwondering what was he doing here.“Gentlemen, and ladies,” Revandrel’s voice was controlled despite the strai

“No, wait—” the third ruler began."I believe you have all mistaken me for someone else." My voice came out rough. "I do not know who this Uriel is." I took another step. “It appears he died during the Eclipse Moon Night tragedy, and I am genuinely sorry for that loss. But I was not yet born at that time."My mother had been a few weeks pregnant with me by then, but I kept that to myself. It was not the point. “Now, if you will excuse me.” I turned away.“Please. Just wait.”Something in the third ruler’s voice stopped me, though I did not turn around.The plea was desperate, but there was resignation beneath it too, as though he already expected me to keep walking.“Thank you,” he said softly. “Please, if you do not mind me asking, how old are you?”I opened my mouth to answer, then paused. Instead, I asked flatly, “How old was your son when he died?”Behind me, Lady Morina’s crying worsened. A pang struck my chest. I ignored it.“Uriel was one thousand five hundred and twenty-thre

LORD REVANDREL“Your Grace,” I addressed the Grand King with the appropriate inclination of my head, keeping my expression neutral. "It is an honor to make your acquaintance."He said nothing. That unreadable gaze stayed on my face.“I am Grand Lord Vladya,” the ruler beside him— the same one who had first taken notice of me— said, stepping forward.Now that he stood closer, I noticed the thin scar running from his cheek down the side of his neck. It was old, pale, and impossible to miss once seen. He gestured toward the ruler beside him. “And this is Grand Lord Herodis.”Unlike the other two, the fourth ruler offered me the faintest hint of a smile.I returned the courtesy. “My greetings to you both. I am Merchant Lord Revandrel Cel'theren, of Vallen Falls. I have made the journey to the capital on a matter of some importance."“A long way from home,” the Grand King observed.“It is.” Was all I offered.A lesser male might have been shaking in his boots standing before the ultimate r

For much of the long journey, I found myself turning over what she had wanted to tell me.Whatever it was, it had mattered enough to do that to her, and that alone told me it was not small.Was there something about that bastard she had yet to tell me? Something he held over her? I turned the possibilities over in my mind.Eventually, I forced them aside and concentrated on the journey ahead. There was nothing I could do from the road, and pressing her before she was ready would only make matters worse. When I returned, I would revisit it.Five hours later, our carriage rolled through the outer limits of the capital, and I understood why many simply called it “Urai” and left the distinction to scholars.The capital was the heart of the kingdom, the largest of all Urekai cities. Every city had its own governing body, of course, but all of them answered here, to the four Grand Rulers of all Urekai.“Where to, my lord?” the carriage master called.“The inn.” Ravenshadow Fortress was said

LORD REVANDRELThree days later.“This one fits better.” Baevera held the second robe beside the one I had on, her eyes moving between the two with great concentration. "The gold complements your tunic far better."I kept my smile under control. “Then I suppose I should wear that one.”I pulled the robe over my head, and together we wrestled the other into place. Just as with the first, she had turned the folding collar inward.My highborn lady had dismissed every servant who might have helped because she wanted to dress me herself. It was as comical as it was endearing."There.” She stepped back, satisfied. “Much better.""I think so too.""Right?" The satisfaction climbed another notch. Then she tilted her head, just slightly, and added with a sheepish look: "Though I think I may have tied the breeches wrong."She had. I swallowed the laugh before it could surface. "It is not so bad. You did a fine job, honey Bae."She lit up with a full, unguarded beam. “Thank you.” Then she clappe

LORD REVANDREL"I must have misheard you," Alaric stared at me with eyes wide enough to shame saucers. “In fact, I am certain I did. For one terrible moment, I thought you said something about performing a bonding ritual with your bloodhost, and that cannot be right.”“I plan to perform a bonding ritual with Baevera,” I repeated.“Oh, Tartarus, he said it twice.” Alaric shoved back from his desk with a screech of his chair and crossed the room toward where I sat, planting himself before me. “Have you lost your mind? You know that is not wise, Revandrel. Were you born yesterday? Blood partners are not compatible. You know this.”I picked up the nearest cushion and threw it directly at his oversized head. “At least attempt to spare my feelings the way Jesse did, you tactless clown.”He batted it aside without so much as a twitch of a smile. "You already told Jesse? When?"“This morning. I came here directly from her estate.”“Well, the moment you lower those ridiculous lashes at her, sh

By the time I finished, her breathing was still uneven, but the panic was ebbing.She stilled.I straightened, brushing my hands together, and turned toward the door.“Evan…” she whispered behind me. “Evan, I am so sorry.”I stilled. My back went ramrod straight, fingers curling into fists at my si

“I am never drinking from her,” I said flatly, pulling out the red-and-black robe from the upper rack.“You know the hunger is only going to worsen, right?” he said. “The bond does not just appear, Revan. It demands to be sealed.”“I will take my chances.”Alaric sighed, the kind of sigh that usual

I waited longer than I thought possible, my blood dripping into Revandrel's slightly parted lips.Doubt began to creep in: perhaps he could not. Perhaps it was already too late. My knees burned where they pressed into the sand, back aching from the curve of my spine as I hovered over him, but I he

LADY BAEVERAI could not feel my legs.They trembled uselessly, refusing to bear any weight as the world still spun in slow, dizzy circles.So… this was what release feels like. I just had an orgasm.It had felt so good, so beautiful, so untainted. Gods, so I still have it in me. Tears welled in my
