stuttering and drooling. I winced and glanced around him toward my Grandmother who
was standing at the base of the dais looking shocked.
 May I get up Ma am? I asked and she tore her eyes off Stela s glorious behind
and glanced at me briefly before nodding. I stood abruptly and took two steps to the left
away from Stela whom I didn t trust not to grab me and have a go right there on the dais.
 I take it this wasn t supposed to happen? I muttered more to myself than anyone else.
 Normally I just sigh or put my head on their shoulder to indicate I m pleased. I
believe your Mother got my tail in her lap& which she did not appreciate, I might add.
Nor did she handle it as well as you did, but then she s very repressed. He leaned in and
whispered while my eyes widened and swung between him and my Grandmother who
was climbing the stairs towards us.  I m not sure why you didn t just sit on my lap to
begin with. He breathed as they drew closer.  But then I enjoyed our foreplay very
much. I ve never had a Queen try to ride me in such a manner. He added with a
mischievous gleam in his eye.

 Because no one told me I wasn t supposed to. And I begin to see why they
sacrificed virgins to you. I muttered and turned to face the Queen as calmly as I could.
 None of them were worthy. He slipped behind me using my body as a shield
and leaned forward to whisper.  Not like you.
 That s no excuse to eat them! I growled and he chuckled and placed his hands
on my waist while I stiffened and nearly jumped.
 Who said anything about eating them? No, I simply& .shared with them the
pleasures of the flesh then sent them on their way. I discovered a long time ago& I m not
terribly fond of virgins. He purred against my ear and I felt my mouth go dry and had to
lick my lips.
 Lexi? My Grandmother asked as she stopped in front of us. Behind her Lord
Aerandir and another guard I did not know, stood with their arms over their chests.
Aerandir glanced between Stela and myself and raised an eyebrow while the tips of my
ears turned pink& again.
 I m sorry about your throne. I told her and glanced over my shoulder to see
that it had returned to its former shape and color and looked just as harmless as it had
before I approached it.  This is Raimondi Stela obviously he s Bronze and has declared.
I informed her.  I believe he already knows who you are.
She looked like she didn t know what to say to that and fell back on her manners.
 It is a pleasure to& finally meet you. She informed him and he bowed his head to her
over my shoulder.
 Your Majesty, it has been an honor to serve with you these long centuries. You
are as beautiful as you are wise. His praise seemed to fluster her and I bit the inside of
my cheek to keep from laughing. That would not be a good thing I decided.
 Ma am& if you please. I asked in an urgent voice.  May my Demon
approach? I asked and she dragged her eyes off Stela and nodded. I closed my eyes and
dropped my upper shield and had to lean back against Stela as other minds flooded mine.
I swallowed and called for Kit while I nearly cringed at the anger and upset aimed my
direction from the left of the dais& the place where my men were currently congregated.

Kit moved up the stairs on his own two legs and came to a halt to the left of my
Grandmother. He did not look happy with me and folded his arms over his chest and
gave me his disapproving glare.  Hi. I told him and licked my lips again while he
stared at me from angry red eyes.
Behind me Stela leaned his hips into me pressing his hard length purposefully
against my lower back. When I would have pulled away from him he held my waist and
kept me in place. The two of them sized each other up and I could almost taste the
testosterone in the air.  He needs clothing and can you& fix my dress? I asked and he
narrowed his eyes and snapped his fingers. He covered me in a long sleeved fitted black
leather coat that snapped up the front from just below my jaw all the way to my knees.
The snaps stopped at the knee but the coat continued on to brush the floor. My feet were
encased in tall leather boots with four inch spiked heels that ended somewhere mid thigh.
Under the coat was& nothing and I looked at him and winced. When I shifted I felt my
nipples rub the cold lining material and had to bite my lip. The last thing I wanted to do
was complain, or I d find myself wearing the outfit with holes in all the most
inappropriate places. Judging by the look on Kit s face, I was pretty sure that would have
been his solution, and he was just waiting for me to say something to make it happen.
Behind me I heard Stela mutter and was almost afraid to look. When I did& I
turned immediately to Kit and did some glaring of my own. Kit finally growled and
snapped his fingers. And this time Stela was dressed appropriately instead of in a big
floppy clown suit. Which I m sure amused the rest of my men but was highly
inappropriate, given the fact that we were in the throne room standing next to my
Grandmother, the Queen.
 Your Demon seems jealous. Stela informed me with a grin.  That bodes well
for me.
 Hmmm. I muttered then ignored the both of them.  Ma am are we done now?
I asked while inside me Goldy tore her eyes off Stela and growled softly. Everyone near
me glanced down and I winced and made a helpless gesture with my hand when my
Grandmother looked at me.

 It seems child that your& friend does not agree. What is it that has upset her?
She inquired.
I wasn t certain but I had a bad feeling especially when Goldy turned and looked
at the King then glared up at me. I sighed and chewed my lip.  May I speak privately
with you for a moment Ma am? I asked and she looked puzzled but followed me when I
stepped away from the others toward the back of the dais.  Goldy thinks I can free the
King. I leaned forward and whispered near her ear.  I tried to tell her you may not wish
him free, but apparently it just annoyed her. I added while she stood there with her face
shuttered.
 For what reason&  She began softly.  Would you believe I would not want
him freed?
 I simply wished to give you the option. I replied softly.
She frowned for a moment and replied.  You truly believe you can free him?
She asked and I stared up at her and finally shrugged delicately.
 I can but try. I told her and she nodded and cupped my cheek in her palm.
 Then by all means& you must try. Because I ve missed him sorely this past
week& since the day you joined us. She replied with a twinkle in her eye and I breathed
a sigh and nodded, suddenly feeling a whole lot better about it.  I will need to speak to
Owen. I told her and& I turned to look at the newest edition thoughtfully.  And
perhaps Stela might be of assistance too.
 I will leave you to it. She replied and went to seat herself upon the throne. I [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
