The Rising (The Rising #4) - Kristen Ashley Page 0,65
your head about you and know what to do. Tomorrow, we will go over some of those hand-to-hand maneuvers I taught you in the Thicket. In any combat, you will likely be mounted and out of the way, using your magicks. What I am teaching you is just in case.”
I nodded.
She gave a curt nod back that was not dismissive, it was just Serena’s way of sharing she was ready to move along.
I resumed my place beside Ha-Lah and watched as Elena attacked Silence repeatedly while Jorie scowled thunderclouds at them.
We then watched Elena playfully tussling with both Dora and Aelia.
“Would all this business was over so that I could give Aramus a daughter,” Ha-Lah murmured wistfully.
“Not a son?” I asked.
“Oh, I would take a son,” she turned dancing eyes at me. “But he’s keen on daughters.”
“Are all women on land this comely and spirited?” Jorie boomed his question to Kyril and Chu, who were again standing together at the side, watching Elena with the girls.
Though, I was complimented to see that he swung his long arm out to include Serena, Ha-Lah and me.
“No,” Kyril answered.
“This is good,” Jorie stated, crossing his arms on his chest. “For I would wish I had taken my legs far more often if they were.”
“Do you not have a special someone, brother?” Silence asked.
“I have one who is new who has all my attention, little sister,” he replied, then hooked her about the neck and yanked her to his side. “And she is right here.”
“I think I might love him,” I muttered.
“Aramus is quite lucky that he is all he is, or I would not wish to be Queen of the Seas, but Queen of the Mer,” Ha-Lah replied.
We giggled again.
Elena flopped on her back in the turf and demanded of the skies, “It must be time for biscuits and tea!”
Aelia flopped on top of her, making Ellie emit an “oof” noise, at the same time crying, “It is! Let’s take them in that room that used to be all black and gray and sad but now is all yellow and gay and happy!”
“Let us do that, my little red princess,” Elena agreed.
Aelia hopped up, shouting, “I want the biscuits with the chocolate on top!”
“I’m going to have lemon ones,” Dora said, coming to help Aelia pull Elena up, each girl having a hand.
“Ooo…I want a lemon one too,” Aelia declared.
“I’d take redhead, if True and I weren’t destined to have a daughter who was dark,” I muttered.
“And I’d take a blonde, if Aramus and I had any earthly hope of such a thing,” Ha-Lah replied in her own mutter.
We again looked at each other.
And smiled.

“I am sweaty, and have smudges of dirt all over me,” she declared. “I shall change and meet my sister and her girls for—”
She didn’t finish that for she found herself pressed against black stone and had Chu growling in her ear.
“Hands to the wall.”
Her pussy pulsed.
“Chu—”
“Hands to the wall, little mouse.”
They had not played since they’d reunited.
Oh, how she had missed this.
Serena placed suddenly trembling hands to the wall.
Other parts of her were trembling after he pulled up her tunic and then ripped her body stocking in two at the crotch.
“Chu,” she said, this time in a moan.
“Speak only when spoken to,” he ordered in her ear, driving two fingers up her cunt.
She went up on her toes and her eyes rolled back into her head.
He fucked her like that and then slid his fingers out, gliding them to her clit and rolling.
Her head fell back.
“Rub yourself against me,” he commanded.
She did as told.
“Did you miss this?” he asked.
“Yes,” she breathed.
“I only touch you.”
“Wh-what?”
“It would not be sexual, what you requested earlier, but I only touch you.”
“I—”
He thrust his fingers inside her and her eyes drifted closed.
“Fuck yourself,” he demanded.
Serena did.
“It is of my people,” he continued. “It is respect, to your chosen one. In my land, a man does not only give his heart. He gives all of himself. Unless it is a daughter, a mother, a sister, one of direct blood, his fingers never even brush another woman’s skin. There are regions where a man will not even raise his eyes to another woman once he has bound himself to the one he loves.”
Listening to his words, having him inside her, she started fucking herself faster on his fingers.
“I touch no one but you,” he growled into her ear.
