Yue-Senn POV

A dull throbbing in my left shoulder was the first thing that pulled me back to reality. My arm was completely numb, the blood flow thoroughly cut off by the dead weight pressing into my bicep. I cracked my eyes open, the bright winter sunlight cutting through the heavy stone glass of the bedchamber, and looked down.

Ry head on my arm and her body completely naked across my chest, her small frame curled perfectly into my body.

A slow possessive smile stretched across my face. I just lay there for a long moment, completely still, admiring every single inch of her face and skin. In the bright morning light, the evidence of last night’s was beautifully exposed. Dark, purple-red hickeys lined the delicate slope of her neck, blooming across the swell of her breasts and trailing down toward her back.

Knowing I was the one who had marked her so thoroughly, the one who had finally claimed her untamed body, sent a heavy wave of pride and satisfaction straight to my gut.

I reached up with my free hand, my fingers gently tucking a stray lock of her messy hair behind her ear so I could see her face clearly.

I attempted to carefully slide my numb arm out from beneath her, but the moment I shifted, her small fingers grabbing a tight hold of my bicep.

Before I could protest, she threw her bare leg completely over my thigh, locking me in place against the mattress. The friction of her soft, warm inner thigh sliding directly against my skin caused an instant, a spike of heat to shoot straight in my chest.

"You are making this very difficult for me, Ry," I whispered hoarsely, leaning down to press a soft, lingering kiss against her flushed cheek.

"You only got away last night because it was your first time. I don’t think I can keep this up if you keep rubbing against me like that."

She let out a tiny, soft whimper in her sleep, her grip tightening.

"I wasn’t able to get all the pleasure I wanted last night because you fell asleep on me."

I murmured against her ear, kissing the top of her head as my hand slid down to firmly cup her ass under the sheets.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly started to open her eyes. For a split second, she just blinked up at me in a sleepy daze. Then, the memories of what we had done must have hit her all at once. Her face turned an instant shade of crimson. With a panicked gasp, she yanked the heavy sheet completely over her head, burying herself from my sight.

I let out a low, rumbling laugh that vibrated against her locked leg. "A dragon hiding from a wolf under the bedsheets? Now that is a new one."

"Shut up," her muffled, embarrassed voice whispered from beneath the fabric.

A second later, the edge of the sheet lowered just enough for her wide eyes to peak out at me.

I squeezed her ass and with my other hand I ran it up her thigh to her hip, my thumb tracing it. "Shall we take a bath together and have some breakfast, my queen?"

She nodded her head softly, the sheet slipping a bit lower. Deciding to give her some air and not push her too much. I released her hip and ass, I rolled out of the plush fur blankets and stood up beside the bed. I didn’t bother covering myself.

I stood there completely naked in the middle of the room, my skin glistening in the sunlight, my massive dick already throbbing and rock-hard, pointing straight out in the open air.

Ry let out a sharp, sudden hiccup, her eyes dropping down before snapping back up to my face in utter shock. "Why are you still hard?"

"Because my beautiful wife fell asleep right when I was just getting started," I smirked.

She pushed her head fully up over the sheet, her expression shy and confused. "What do you mean *just getting started*? Yue-Senn, it was a whole hour and a half! I literally don’t think my body could have taken a single second more."

I took a slow, deliberate step back toward the edge of the bed crowding her space.

"Practice makes perfect, darling."

Ry hiccuped again, quickly throwing her hand over her mouth to muffle the sound, her cheeks burning hotter. I leaned in close over her, my hands planted under her chin my gazing deep into her eyes, ready to drag her back into the heat.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A loud, violent pounding rattled the heavy wood of our bedchamber door, completely shattering the quiet.

"Ry! Ry, open up right now!"

Her brother’s voice roared through the wood, raw, frantic, and dripping with an unhinged fury.

Why the fuck is he here?

The dark thought slashed through my mind, my jaw locking instantly my upper lip curling back in disgust at the interruption.

Before I could even move, I heard Ari’s frantic footsteps echoing in the hallway outside. "Riegthar, what the hell are you doing here? Ry isn’t decent right now! You have to wait downstairs!"

"I used to give her baths when we were children, Ari, I’m fine," her brother snapped back, his voice entirely unyielding. "Move out of my way, it’s an emergency."

The wood rattled again under his fist.

"Please, Prince Riegthar, you can wait downstairs. Her Highness will come down shortly." Ki-ri’s sharp, dangerous voice cut through the noise, the sound of steel shifting suggesting he had already stepped between him and the door.

Inside the room, the playful tension had vanished. Ry was completely wrapped up in the heavy covers, scrambling backward against the headboard to hide her nakedness while I slowly turned my head toward the door. A dark, dangerous smirk cut across my face.

"Move, or I will personally move you," Riegthar hissed at Ki-ri outside. I had, had entirely enough of this royal foolishness. Nobody brings their chaotic drama to my door, and nobody threatens my guards while my wife is naked in my bed.

Moving with a slow, utterly unbothered arrogance, I walked across the stone floor completely naked. I didn’t grab a robe. I didn’t cover a single inch of my skin. I reached out, unlocked the heavy iron latch, and yanked the door wide open, presenting myself to the hallway with my heavy, massive dick fully hard and out for everyone to see.

"Brother-in-law," my voice dropping into a low, rumble as I leaned against the doorframe.

"To what exactly do I owe this completely unannounced visit?"

Ari let out a sharp gasp, instantly covering her mouth with her hands as she spun her back completely to me, her cheeks burning with secondhand embarrassment. Ki-ri, ever the professional, merely moved aside with a slight bow, his expression blank. I gave Ki-ri a sharp nod, and he silently turned, walking away down the hallway to give us space.

From inside the bedchamber, Ry let out another loud, nervous hiccup.The sound caught Riegthar’s attention. His gaze snapped over my naked shoulder, peering into the room. His eyes instantly locked onto the sight of the disheveled bed, the plush fur blankets tossed aside, and Ry’s loose, messy hair fanned out against the pillows as she hid beneath the sheets.

Riegthar’s eyes snapped back to me, the shock of my naked and my unbothered stance. The air around him began to hum with a restless, tension, his chest heaving as he stared at the hickeys clearly visible on my chest and neck, evidence of what I had spent the night doing to his sister.

"You," he growled, balling his hand into a fist.

I didn’t back down an inch. I merely widened my smirk, shifting my weight to bring my fully engorged length even closer to his personal space, letting him know exactly who’s Kingdom he was in.
