Chapter 31

VAELHe thought I did not see him.The way he slipped from the hall, his steps quick and careful, as if shadows could hide him from me. Foolish. I let him go, curious where he would run now that the chains no longer marked his skin.Through stone corridors, past guards who bowed instead of blocking his path. They had seen him beside me, walking free. That was enough to keep their silence for now.I followed, slow, silent, watching the rigid line of his back. He carried himself like a prince even in flight, proud spine, proud jaw, though I knew what I had left burning in him.The air changed at the end of the passage. Warmer. Living. He slipped through the archway, and I stepped after him into green.The garden spread out beneath open sky, gold light spilling over leaves and fountains, the scent of soil and bloom cutting through the winter chill. He stopped short.And for a moment, he was still. His face tilted up, caught in that light, lashes shadowing his eyes, lips parted in somethi

AURELIAN“Must I go?” The words broke from me before I could choke them down, ground out between clenched teeth. “I would rather be chained in your chambers and wait for you to return.”The instant the admission left my mouth, I regretted it. His eyes cut to me, gleaming with cruel amusement, and the look alone made my stomach twist.Vael leaned down, his shadow spilling over me, heavy as his presence always was. “Is that so?” His voice was low and mocking. “You would rather lie bent over my bed, sore and dripping, waiting to be used again?”Heat climbed the back of my neck. I turned my face aside, jaw tight, every nerve in me shrieking not to give him the satisfaction. “You know what I meant.”He chuckled, a sound rasping and dark, the kind that told me he remembered every flinch, every bruise he had carved into me. “I do. And I know why you’d rather remain behind. Your body still aches, doesn’t it?” His hand drifted to my side, grazing my hip as if to remind me what he already owned

AURELIANThe gates swallowed us at last. Stone walls, banners, the familiar press of shadowed corridors—I should have been relieved. My body ached from the ride, raw in places I did not wish to name, but I was glad to be back behind walls. Glad, though I would never admit it aloud.I had half a mind to crawl to the bed, collapse, and not rise for three days. But when I turned down the passage toward Vael’s chamber, his hand clamped around my wrist.“You reek of horse,” he said, and his mouth curved in that damned way that promised trouble. “We bathe.”“I like the smell of horse,” I muttered, twisting but his grip only tightened.“Do you?” His grin deepened, “Then I shall see how long you like it when I drown you in it.”Before I could tear free, he was already dragging me through the side passage, past the servants who startled at our approach. The great bathing room had been readied—the marble pool brimming with steaming water, candles burning low, towels laid neatly aside. The heat

Chapter 34

VAELMorning crept slow across the chamber, pale light pooling through the latticework and spilling over the bed where Aurelian slept. The fire had burned low, leaving the air heavy with the scent of smoke and the faint musk of spent desire.He lay tangled in the furs, bare as sin, one arm flung over the sheets, his breath slow and even. The bruises on his hips had darkened overnight; the marks of my mouth still gleamed faintly on his chest. I should have risen long before—the kingdom waits for no man, not even its king—but I did not move.There was something in the stillness that held me. His lashes trembled faintly against his cheek, his lips parted in a quiet sigh. The sight of him stirred my cock but it wasn’t only lust—it stirred the ache that had begun to root in me, slow and deep as frost.I reached out, brushed a stray lock of his now long hair from his brow. He did not wake. A smile rose before I could stop it, small and foolish. I almost laughed at myself. You are losing you

Chapter 35

AURELIANThree days had passed since that night in his chamber—the night Vael made me sit in his lap and read aloud like some favored pet.It should have humiliated me. Gods, it did. Yet when I thought of his eyes fixed on me, the weight of his hand at my waist, the quiet hum he made when my voice caught on a line of poetry… the shame twisted into something else. Something warmer.Every night after, he’d asked for the same. Sometimes he’d listen in silence, sometimes he’d interrupt with some cutting remark that made me glare at him. But he always watched me. As if every word that left my mouth belonged to him.And I—fool that I am—had begun to enjoy it.But tonight, the chambers were empty. The hearth still burned low, his scent still lingered, but the space was hollow without him. I sat by the window until the weight of it pressed too deep into my chest. Then I stood, pulled the cloak on my shoulders, and left.He had twisted his own promise, of course—You asked to be able to move ab
