In the darkness of the carriage, Caspen sighed. “As am I.” His admission chilled Tem. Caspen’s threshold for fear was much higher than hers. If he was scared, it meant there was truly something to fear. Once again, Tem wanted to reach for him. Once again, she couldn’t. A butler ushered them into the castle…

She dipped easily into her wetness, playing first with her clitoris before slipping her fingers deep inside. Tem concentrated on how it felt, focusing on the slick sensation, imagining Caspen was doing it instead. It was hard to believe she’d spent so many years doing this alone in her bedroom, and now she was doing…

Caspen smiled. “Yes, that is the hope. But your heart may call to someone else, Tem.” “How would it do that?” “The tournament demands that you be honest with yourself. When it is over, your heart will call to your true mate.” “Then my heart will call to you.” “You cannot predict the outcome of…

“She has seen this before.” “Seen what before?” Caspen didn’t answer. He was barreling through the passageway, shoving basilisks out of his path. He could touch them easily; the barrier didn’t seem to extend to those in his way. “Why can’t we touch each other?” Tem insisted, already short of breath. “What’s going on?” “I…

Tem didn’t dare enter his mind. There was a black cloud around it she couldn’t hope to penetrate and didn’t want to anyway. This was a conversation better had out loud. “I am thinking that I have never met someone so incapable of following instructions as you.” The words stung. They took her immediately back…

“Rowe will not win,” Caspen cut her off. Adelaide pursed her lips with annoyance. “I said if, Caspenon. If he wins, Temperance will have to marry him. We must all prepare for that possibility.” Tem crossed her arms. She would do no such thing. The thought of marrying Rowe was abhorrent. She’d kill herself before…

“Caspen is already worthy of it.” “Not to the Senecas.” Stubborn resistance curled in Tem. “But why? There are other inter-quiver couples. I don’t see anyone else’s marriage being contested.” “You are a Hybreed, Temperance. It is an incredible gift. Your loyalty is an advantage to whichever quiver you favor.” Tem hadn’t found that being…

She turned back to the statues, and her next words were a whisper. “You shouldn’t have to carry him alone.” A pause. His whisper mirrored hers. “You should not have to carry him at all.” When she didn’t reply, he said, “It is my choice, Temperance.” A choice he’d made without her. But Tem was…

“Have sex. Obviously you want to.” “Obviously not.” Apollo only laughed. “You are a terrible liar, Temperance.” That was not Tem’s concern right now. Right now, she was fighting to stay upright-even leaning against Apollo took too much effort. She was so, so turned on. All her mind could think about was sex. Sex with…

And how will you fuck me while he watches? Apollo made a noise as if the question physically pained him. And perhaps it did. This was torture for him, just as so many things were for Tem. She’d finally found Apollo’s weakness-the thing that made him lose control. Her. First, I want you on top….
