But his cousins all kept flocks of concubines. After a few cups at family banquets, they’d whisper about this stuff in private.

Their faces would flush with pleasure, their smiles turn lewd, their words growing increasingly unrestrained.

So Alaric was not entirely ignorant.

He had even dreamed of it.

Now, he heard Elowen’s voice.

That syrupy, seductive tone-if she wasn’t in there fooling around with Cassian, then what was it?

A sudden, irrational fury flared in Alaric’s chest. How dare she? With him? What does she take me for?

Blind with anger, he raised his hand, intent on shoving the door open.

Inside the chamber, Elowen still sat on Cassian’s lap, her arms loosely draped over his shoulders. She had lost track of how long the kiss had lasted.

To her, it felt interminable. She was drained, her head resting lightly against the side of his face.

Cassian’s voice held a hint of amusement. “Is that all you can manage?”

“Yeah,” Elowen breathed weakly.

Then she asked, “My lord, are you better now?”

Cassian’s expression didn’t change. He coughed naturally. “Almost.”

Elowen fell silent for a long moment, unsure what to say. A part of her even felt a resigned despair.

If only Elara were here. Cassian could hold her to ease his discomfort, and I wouldn’t have to endure this.

Noticing her distraction, Cassian asked, “What are you thinking?”

Not daring to mention Elara, Elowen grasped for an excuse. “I… I was wondering if there might be aftereffects from the aphrodisiac wine

She said it offhandedly, but Cassian’s brow arched with sudden interest.

Why didn’t I think of that?

Aftereffects!

Today, the kisses sufficed. Later, if the symptoms “recurred,” another kiss would be “necessary.”

“The specifics are unknown,” Cassian murmured “We’ll have the royal physician examine me when we return.”

Elowen was about to suggest they stop for the day when his hand returned to the small of her back. “One last time.”

Tears welled in her eyes. “Again?”

Cassian coaxed, “Just once more.”

Elowen didn’t believe him.

“Truly.” Cassian’s voice dropped, low and slightly hoarse, carrying an indescribable allure.

Unable to resist, Elowen gave a soft, nasal hum and slowly turned her head.

Cassian lowered his head and kissed her gently.

Elowen closed her eyes, a slight frown creasing her brow as he deepened the kiss.

But his kiss was meticulous. Amidst the tingling sensations, Elowen began to discern a different flavor to it. Her head grew pleasantly foggy, and her hands crept up to rest on his back.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded outside.

A guard’s voice followed immediately. “Your Highness!”

Elowen heard it and jolted, her body going rigid

Alaric?!

What’s he doing outside?

A wave of shame washed over her. She tried to push Cassian away, but he didn’t budge. She attempted to lean back, to break the kiss.

His hand on her back held firm, not only refusing to let her retreat but deepening the kiss instead.

The movement was almost rough, tinged with imitation.

Elowen’s thoughts scattered once more.

I’m here for my uncle.” Alaric’s voice came from outside, sounding calm.

The guard explained. “Your Highness, His Grace is resting within. He gave orders that no one is to disturb him except Duchess Elowen-”

“Duchess Elowen?” Alaric interrupted

Yes. Your Highness, the guard continued. “His Grace’s command was explicit: no one but Duchess Elowen is to enter. I must ask you to leave.”

How exceptionally special he makes her.” Alaric’s voice came through, sounding as if it were forced through gritted teeth.

Elowen’s body remained taut, unable to fully relax.

“Can’t focus, huh?”

Cassian finally let her go, eyes lowered, his gaze dark and unreadable. “What’s wrong?”
