Spit or Swallow: Kiss Of The Basilisk

“I don’t need to fuck you,” she said softly, her lips grazing his throat. “I don’t even need to take my clothes off. You want me so badly, you’d marry me just for the chance to see me naked. Am I wrong?” Tem didn’t know where her courage came from. She was risking everything on…

Tem felt a surge of accomplishment. Now she was getting somewhere. Tell me more. Are you in the castle? No answer. Tem tried again. How can I find you? Still no answer. The roast chicken was cleared away and replaced with a white layer cake. The butler refilled her wine. Between the conversations around the…

A dull wave of panic threatened to overtake her as she held her breath, momentarily terrified that he wouldn’t answer. Then: Tem. She felt sick. He must have sensed this, because he asked, What is the matter, Tem? There was no other way to say it. I’m about to spend sixty seconds with the prince….

He rubbed the back of his hand over his mouth, smearing the lipstick even more. “Nothing worth having.” “Oh, please.” “Sixty seconds with you is worth an hour with Vera,” he said quietly. Tem shrugged with an indifference she did not feel. Leo stood unsteadily, grasping the table for balance. Tem had never seen him…

With each dip of her head, Caspen’s groans grew more desperate. Eventually, his body began to move beneath hers. Tem breathed through her nose as he took control, thrusting into her mouth with sudden urgency, tilting his hips up so that his cock slid smoothly in her throat. Then out. Then in again. Tem closed…

So she opened her eyes. Thick, black smoke filled the cave. It choked her throat and forced tears down her cheeks. A dark mass came into view in front of her. Even when she squinted, she couldn’t make out his full shape. Tem. His voice was in her mind, in her body. It was everywhere….

It was utterly unfair. She was sick and tired of choices being made for her. She was sick and tired of Caspen holding all the power. A wave of frustration swept through her, and she stood up, screaming his name to the stars as if she could shake them from the sky: CASPEN! Silence. And…

Be still. Tem froze, her hand halfway down her body. Watch. Tem sat up curiously, staring between her legs. At first, nothing happened. She only felt a gentle vibration, which made her ache even more. Then the claw began to move. It slid in and out of her slowly, moving entirely on its own accord….
