I drive her further and further into oblivion until she explodes all over my mouth.

“Yes. Yes. Oh God… yes.” She groans, digging her fingers into my scalp even further as she rides out her orgasm.

Reluctantly, I pull myself from her pussy, and climb over her open legs, then thrust inside her, both of us hissing at the connection. Then, I lift her, so she’s straddling me.

We are face to face, her tits bouncing with each hard thrust into her.

Leaning down, I take a nipple into my mouth and suck hard. She throws back her head, arching herself against me, riding me harder the harder I suck.

Fuck, I’m going to miss this.

Miss her.

My hand falls between us, finding her clit and rubbing her sensitive bud. I can feel her pussy tightening around me with each swipe across it.

“More. I need more.” She moans in my ear, and I pick up my pace, giving her exactly what she asked for until we’re both tumbling over the edge. Lila falls backward with a giggle, taking me with her.

She looks up into my face and strokes my hair. “I’m so lucky to have found you.” She pulls me in for another kiss.

Shit! I have to tell her that things have changed.

That the king wants me to go away for a little while until Auggie and she are married.

“lucky to have found you, too.” My heart clenches inside my chest. “But…” a frown falls across Lila’s face, “… I have to tell you something.”

“By the sound of your voice, it isn’t good.” Lila’s hands stay wrapped around me tightly. She’s afraid to let me go.

“The king has requested it,” I start.

Her eyes flare wide, but she doesn’t say anything.

“He wants me to go to the Winter Palace before the wedding to give you and Auggie time to get to know each other without distractions.”

Silence falls between us.

“Distractions?” she questions.

“Yes. He thinks what’s going on here…” I grin down on her, “… is going to be a distraction.” As I grind, she moans.

“You are very distracting.” She grins. “Still…” her face falls, “… I don’t want you to go.”

“I know.” Stroking her face, I lay tender kisses across her mouth. “I don’t want to leave either, but I do think it’s for the best.” Lila frowns. “We have a lifetime to spend together, but I think you and Auggie should have these weeks before the wedding to connect. I mean, you’re going to be marrying him and having a family with him. What is a couple of weeks of just the two of you when we have a lifetime?” I ask.

“What happens if you meet someone at the Winter Palace?” she asks with a pout.

“Sweetheart…” I run my hands over her face, “… no one can compare to you.” Kissing her slowly, I continue with, “I think it’s the right thing to do.”

“I don’t like it.” She pouts again, which makes me chuckle.

“I know. But I promise you and Auggie will be on my mind every moment my hand is wrapped around my dick,” I tell her, nipping her ear.

Lila

I’m having morning tea with the queen this morning. After saying my reluctant goodbyes to Greyson, I dived into my closet and picked out a simple pink dress and heels. I think I look pretty when I check the mirror.

Moments later, one of the footmen is at my door to escort me to her parlor on the other side of the palace, thankfully, nowhere near Augustine’s wing.

He knocks on the gilded door, and she summons me in. I step into her private space, and the door closes behind me. The walls are lined with floral silk wallpaper, and there are tapestries and art of various floral scenes. Then, there are opulent Persian rugs on the marble floor, again with floral motives.

“Lila, welcome.” The queen welcomes me to her circle, where a group of equally elegant women is sipping tea in porcelain cups while seated on mint-colored antique chairs. There’s a little table in the middle stacked with towers of pastries, tarts, and delicate sandwiches. The women smile and nod in my direction.

“These are some of my closest friends.” She goes around the room introducing the women, and they all seem friendly enough. “We are here to talk to you about the wedding which is happening in a couple of weeks,” the queen starts. “We have so much to organize.” She gives me a blinding bright white smile. “We have set up options for you today to choose
