The Palace Beast

*** SOME MONTHS LATER ***

Bonnie's Chamber She closed her eyes and felt his kisses against the back of her neck and his fingers running down her back. Lips pressed against her lips, fingers entering within her. Her nipples were painfully and wonderfully pinched by fingers. Strong hands turned and caressed her all over as she felt herself lifted, her feet no longer touching the ground, and blackness engulfing her. She could feel his strength and heat rising as there was no longer any gravity. She seemed to float in midair. She rolled over and felt her mouth open and her legs pulled apart as she felt her way around in the dark tangle of arms holding her up. "Go ahead, do it," Bonnie whispered.

*** SOME MONTHS EARLIER ***

Queen Eve's Chamber Queen Eve sighed, pressing eagerly into Adrian's palm, "Just touch me." He was unable to keep them waiting any longer. He lowered his middle finger slowly and ran it over her folds. Queen Eve tossed back her head. Oh yeah. Proceed with caution. Once more, he performed the action, placing his fingertip between her tears and collecting them. Using two fingers, he divided her and felt for her clit, massaging it in little circles. She was lost as she let out a cry against his lips. The way she tastes, smells, and feels against his skin, right next to him. Kingdoms and time were meaningless. Only she was present.

Her eyes slid back into her head as two fingers worked into her. His tongue flicked over her as he started a steady beat, and she couldn't help but lift her hips to meet his thrusts. Oh no, she was smothering his face with her sex while riding his hand. It had to be awful. Stop it, she told herself. She was unable. She discovered her hands entangled in his hair somehow. Every time he drove back into her, she could hear the slick noises as her body coiled tighter, clawing at his fingers. When she closed her eyes, she felt as though he had numerous hands that caressed every part of her body, as well as numerous lips that moved quickly over her, sinking his fangs into her most vulnerable areas with a wolf-like sharpness. Now nude, he extended his entire body over her. She delighted in his weight on her, in feeling his bulk crush her. His mouth to her feet, she wanted him welded to her. She felt shivers run down her spine.

It was better making out in bed with him than against the door. He now understood her preferred movements, the ones that caused her to sigh, gasp, and press her fingers into her shoulders.

With a smile, he sat up and looked down at her vagina. He glided across her body like a lightning, touching her breast. Subsequently, he began to manipulate her with his fingers and mouth, nearly causing her to lose consciousness.

Kingdom of Maxis Gerald bent down in front of King Afa and declared, "My King, we have some outlaws in custody who we think were involved in the attack on your envoys, and I have sent them to the punisher to force them to reveal whose command they followed."

King Afa answered, "Very good, let the punisher do his duty until they talk." The king inquired, his curious gaze fixated on Gerald, "Did you happen to see Adrian?"

Gerald answered without hesitation, "I saw him riding towards the Kingdom of Uzex during our search."

"For what reason?" the king focused his gaze on him. A look of mixed feeling crossed his face.

Gerald answered, "Your Majesty, I have no idea." He couldn't make head or tale what's going on.

"His spouse arrived in search of him," said the king. His voice sounded harsh but he tried to remain calm. "Send some messengers to Uzex to get him, and send a word back to the wife about what you saw." Kingdom of Uzex Queen Eve nestled her head onto Adrian's chest, her lips curving into a smile as the gentle hum of his heartbeat tickled her ears. The ride had come to an end, and they now found themselves lying on the bed, basking in each other's warmth. Adrian's voice, barely above a whisper, broke the comfortable silence. "My wife will be looking for me by now. I didn't tell her where I was going." The concern in his voice was palpable, as if he were torn between staying with Queen Eve and returning to his responsibilities.

Queen Eve extended an invitation to Adrian with a hopeful smile on her face. "Why not you come and live in Uzex with your wife and son? We can be close to each other," she suggested.

Adrian's mind raced with the possibilities, but he was hesitant. He turned to face the queen and replied, "I appreciate your offer, but I don't know how my wife would react to such a proposal. She might suspect something."

Queen Eve's expression faltered slightly, but she understood Adrian's reservations. She nodded before saying, "I understand. You must do what is best for your family."

He was enamored with the idea of being closer to the queen of Uzex and had developed feelings for her. However, he was torn between his desires and his loyalty to his wife, whom he did not wish to hurt. He hoped to keep their affair a secret and avoid getting caught. "Your wife will only become suspicious if you give her a reason to," Queen Eve advised.

"What about the king, I am still in his service?" he said. He does not want to fail his king either does he wants to fail his newfound love. He wasn't thinking straight right now. All he could think is the sweet moans of Queen Eve during their sex. The moaning alone turns him on and makes him want to have more of her.

"I can talk to the king about that," she said still caressing Adrian's chest.

"I know this will be difficult for my wife when she finds out about us. But the truth is, I love you, Queen Eve. I desire to be with you, to make love to you, and to allow you to rest on my chest. Just give me time to figure something out. I will always come to visit you. That won't be a problem."

"It will take long for me to see you again," she replied with a sad tone.

"It won't, I promise," Adrian replied cheerfully.

Kingdom of Maxis "You can come in," said King Afa on hearing a gentle knock on his door.

"You sent for me your highness," Eva said closing the door behind her.

King Afa's heart was racing as he stood there, looking into Eva's eyes. "Yes, and I can't stop thinking about what happened the last time here," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I remember every moment, every detail, and it's been consuming my thoughts ever since. But what's been keeping me up at night most of all is you, Eva. I can't get you out of my head," he confessed, his eyes never leaving hers. As he spoke, the heat between them was palpable, and the air was thick with tension. King Afa's heart was filled with a mix of emotions - desire, longing, and a hint of fear. He knew that his feelings for Eva were real, but he also knew that the situation was complicated. Nevertheless, he couldn't hold back any longer. "I love you, Eva," he said, his voice filled with sincerity and vulnerability. "I know it's not easy, but I had to tell you. I can't keep it inside any longer."

As he professed his love to her, she couldn't help but blush deeply. The king closed the distance between them and began kissing her passionately. She was so caught up in the moment that she didn't even notice the sound of footsteps drawing near. Before she knew it, Kay's tiny voice interrupted them with a startle, causing them to break apart. Kay's tone was accusatory as she spoke, "So you're still into her?"

The king and Eva stood there in shock, not knowing quite what to say. The king tried to speak, but the words caught in his throat. They both knew that they had been caught in a compromising position, and it was clear that Kay was not pleased.
