He followed her through the long corridors of the garrisonâs central keep. The air changed as they walked: from the public heat of the hall to the cool breath of old stone, then to the faint scent of rain leaking through narrow windows.
Their steps echoed in rhythm, her soft silk against his bare soles, a cadence that only they could hear.
They reached a side chamberâone of the council antechambers left abandoned after the purges.
The door to the side chamber slammed shut behind them with a heavy clickâbut the sound was drowned by Floraâs feral growl, her body whirling on Aiden like a tempest unleashed.
No words, no hesitation; the fury in her eyes ignited into raw, desperate hunger, and she lunged, crashing into him with bruising force, her mouth devouring his in a nasty, sloppy kiss that tasted of blood and stormâtongues clashing in a wet saliva spilling down her chin as she bit his lip hard enough to draw copper, moaning into him like a woman possessed:
"Ahhhnngh..... Aiden..its been so lonng.!"
He met her savagery thrust for thrust, golden eyes blazing as his hands clawed at her gown, ripping the silk bodice down in one savage tearâexposing her heaving breasts, nipples already peaked and begging.
"You shouldnât have smiled," she gasped against his mouth, even as she ground her hips against the iron bulge in his breeches, the schlick of her soaked smallclothes audible through the fabric, juices flooding her thighs in hot anticipation.
Her fingers tore at his tunic, nails raking bloody trails down his chestâ"It made them think you expected all of this"âdrawing a guttural rumble from him as he shoved her back against the wall, stone biting into her shoulders.
"Didnât I?" Aiden snarled, voice rough as gravel, one hand fisting her hair to yank her head backâexposing her throat for his teeth to sink in, sucking a brutal hickey while his other hand plunged under her skirts, fingersâtwo, then threeâshoving deep into her dripping cunt, curling viciously to scrape her walls.
She squirted instantly, a hot gush soaking his palm and splattering the flagstones
her scream a throaty roar: "Ooooohhhh fuuuck... you knew... cumming already... aaaaaahhhhh!" Her legs buckled, but he held her up, fucking her through the spasms with piston pumps, thumb grinding her clit like a pestle.
She closed her eyes brieflyâor tried, lashes fluttering as another wave built, her hands fumbling at his breeches, freeing his cockâthick, throbbing, veins pulsing as she stroked him frantically, pre-cum slicking her palm.
"You knew what would happen," she wailed, hiking her skirts herself, guiding his tip to her entrance before impaling herself on him in one desperate drop,"Yesss...!, Deeper! ....deeper....!"
He did, hips snapping in a blur of savage pistons, the clap-clap-clap of skin slamming skin thunderous, mingled with the schlorp-schlorp-thwack of his cock churning her sopping depthsâfrothy cream building at the join, dripping in sticky rivers down her thighs.
"I knew they would break themselves trying to cage me," he grunted, spinning her mid-thrustâslamming her chest-first against the wall, breasts dragging raw on stone as he rammed deeper from behind, fisting her hair to arch her spine.
Her second orgasm crashed like lightning, walls spasming wildlyâa long, orgasmic moan ripping free:
"Uuuuuhhhhhnnn... fuuuuck meeeee... you just... hastened the fall... mooooore!" She bucked back, meeting each brutal plunge, nails scraping stone bloody, her voice splintering into pleas as he mauled her clit from behindâfingers a vise, slapping wetly.
Her hands, still faintly trembling from the magic sheâd unleashed, clawed back at himâgouging his thighs as she pushed onto him harder.
"Do you understand what Iâve done?" she sobbed, body convulsing into the third climax, gushing around him in a shameful floodâlong wail keening:
"The Blood Commander... âoh godsâ.. was a vassal of Wessex... aaaaaahhhhh... his death will echo... cum in meeeee!" Aidenâs laugh was a demonâs rumble, vibrating through her as he yanked out, spinning her to her knees in the dust, her mouth engulfing him in a voracious slurp-gulk, throat convulsing on her own creamâslurp-slurp-mmmphâdrool cascading as she bobbed frantically, eyes locked on his:
"Give it... ALL... to meee..."
"Theyâll have both," he bellowed, erupting down her throatâhot jets she swallowed greedily, choking with a satisfied, drawn-out moan:
"Mmmmaaaahhhh... so gooood.!"âmilking him dry before he hauled her up by the hair, bending her over the dusty tableâass high, face mashed into woodâas he plowed back in with a deafening, her fourth orgasm seizing her in ecstatic silence turning to bellow:
"Ooooohhhh gaaaawwwds... cuuuummmiiiinggg... through the southern courts...!"
He pounded relentlessly, hips a hydraulic ramâthe clap-clap-schlop wetter now, amplified by the schlick-schlick of cum-lubed thrusts, her gown in tatters around her waist.
"My father will demand justification," she gasped, legs quaking as he flipped her onto the tableâlegs splayed obscenely, folding her double with ankles by her ears, impaling her so deep it bulged her belly.
"The council will demand proof," she wailed, fifth climax convulsing through her in a squirt soaking his absânails carving runes down his back, long moan quivering: "Aiiiiddddeeeennnn... yesssssss... fiiiillll meeeee!"
"You acted as heir to Leonidus, not as daughter," he rasped, biting her nipple bloodyâdrawing a yelp that dissolved into gruntsâflooding her with his second loadâoverflow bubbling creamy.
"You chose justice when they offered you politics." He dragged her atop him on the floorâreverse cowgirl, her bouncing with frantic thwack-thwack against his thighs, his slaps to her clit punctuating the sixth:
"Glrk... ahh... mooooore..."âa shuddering wail as she ground down, milking his third release deep inside.
She let out a shaky laughâor tried, turning to face him on trembling limbs, frustration flashing as he flipped her missionary, ramming home for the seventhâschlorp-thudâthe clap-clap a frantic drumroll, her seventh orgasm a prolonged howl:
"Justice is never enough for them... oooooohhhh... yessss... allll of yoooouuuu!"âwalls spasming as he pumped her full again, cum gushing in waves down her thighs.
"For you, it was," he groaned, chasing his fourth with brutal liftsâstanding now, her back to his chest, cock spearing upâthwack-thwackâher eighth piling on, moans endless: "Uhn! Uhn! Donât stop... you frightened them!"
Their eyes met againâor locked in the haze, space vanished as he bent her over once more, pounding through the ninthâschlorp-schlick-clapâa convulsive squirt: "I freed them... aaaaaahhhhhh.... thereâs a difference!"
He chuckled darkly, the sound muffled against her throat as he sucked another markâhis hand between her legs, four fingers stretching her anewâtenth building.
"You smile as though this is victory," she begged, voice splintered, body a quivering ruin as he yanked her hair, exposing her for teethâher final climax a broken keen: "Moooore... break me... cuuuuum...!"
"Itâs not," he grunted, eleventh load eruptingâflooding her battered core, leaking in creamy puddlesâas they collapsed, tangled in humid wreckage, bites and scratches a tapestry. "Itâs the opening of the gate. Theyâll march their banners before the week is out. But today, you changed the story they tell of me. That matters."
Flora paced the narrow roomâor crawled, then rose on shaking legs, gown whispering slick against flagstones, torn and stained. "You talk as if stories can protect you," she sobbed, stealing his cock againâstraddling for one last, grinding rideâaftershocks rippling as she clenched around his spent length.
"They can," he rasped, hands on her hips, guiding the desperate rolls. "Legends live longer than kings." Her eleventh orgasm shuddered throughâa soft, keening wail: "Yesss... fuck... more..."âbefore she slumped, sated.
She turned, frustration ebbing into glow. "You always speak in riddles."
"Because truth spoken too plainly dies too quickly," he murmured, helping right her tatters. "And because I want you to live through whatâs coming."
For the first time, her strength faltered completelyâbut rebuilt in the afterglow, smaller yet unbreakable. "And what will you do?"
Aiden looked toward the high window, light painting his hair silver amid sweat. "What I always do. Walk the edge between ..."
She crossedâor staggeredâin two steps, legs locking around him for a sloppy, final kissâtongues tangling. "Youâre not alone in this."
"No," he said, smile ghosting his lips. "Not anymore."
The words hung, vastâsealed in seed and fire. Thunder rolled outsideâdistant, deepâmirroring their storm.
Flora drew breath, composure piecing back, thighs quivering slick. "We will have to face the court in Leonidus. My father will want answers."
"Then give him truth wrapped in glory," Aiden said, rough-voiced. "Tell him you defended honor, that you punished deceit. He will see only the strength of your house. And when he asks about meâ"
"Iâll tell him you serve that same honor," she interrupted, hand on his chestâheartâs wild thrum.
He smiled, gratitudeâand hungerâlingering. "You always were better at politics."
She stepped closer, one last grind against himâbefore duty. "And you were always worse at hiding your heart."
He chuckled low. "Perhaps."
They stood, breaths syncing in musk-thick airârain, stone, sex. Every glance, breath, warmth spoke: bond in defiance, fireâconsummated desperately.
At last, Flora drew back. "We must return. They will be waiting."
Aiden inclined his head. "Lead the way, Lady Leonidus."
Formal title, reverent toneâthroat-tightening.
She turned to the door, paused, looked back. "You once told me that the world only bows to power born of conviction. Do you still believe that?"
"I do."
"Then let them bow," she whispered, swollen lips curving secret.
She opened the door. Corridor brightâclank of armor, shouts, murmursâdulled by respect as she stepped out, marks hidden beneath tatters.
Aiden followed, stride unhurried, expression unreadable. Knights stepped aside; nobles bowedânot to rank, but power, inevitability, beginnings unseen.
Flora ascended the dais. "This court is adjourned. Carry word to Leonidus: justice has been served."
