“I see your point. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to show her that we’re the ones in control.”
“Exactly. I do feel a little guilty about threatening her child, but she’s the one who drove me to it.”
“What did the King decide to call her?” Darus asked after a long pause.
“Calliope, but I won’t call her by a name until she’s earned the privilege,” Tuk said adamantly.
“So after tonight we’ll have no more problems from the human?”
“None at all. She’s been incredibly stubborn up until now, but I know she cares deeply for the child. If she feels the little one is at risk, she’ll do what we say.” A slow smile touched her lips. “And you were the one who said it would be pointless to bring the child along.”
“I stand corrected.”
Tuk laughed manically.
CHAPTER 5
“Do you think you can at least stay through the entire performance tonight? Or will you stomp off as you’ve been doing these past few days?” Radien asked just before the harem came in.
“Shut up,” Blaze muttered, not wanting to look at his friend’s face, letting Radien see that he’d hit the mark.
He still felt shame that he’d hit his loyal and most trusted friend over some woman. It wasn’t going to be easy, but he’d get over her the best he could. Maybe he’d try three women tonight, one to ride his cock, one to suck on his balls and the other to ride his face. That was something he hadn’t done in a while. Yes, that’s what he’d do.
He tried to look interested as his women stepped into the dining hall. On the verge of taking a sip of wine, he dropped his goblet from nerveless fingers. Walking through the foyer at the rear of the line was Calliope. She strode in like a queen, her head held high. Had she finally decided he was preferable to scrubbing floors?
As much as Blaze wanted to ignore her for the insult she’d given him, he just couldn’t look away from her. Tonight the harem did The Dance of Seduction. He’d thought Calliope graceful when he first saw her move, but this time she was flawless. Her eyes locked with his, an intense liquid brown that seemed to be sending out an invitation.
This time when she dipped and swung her hips, he knew it was for him. Just for him. Tonight the harem was naked to the waist and wearing sheer, layered skirts that barely missed the floor. Their bodies were dusted with diamond dust making them sparkle and shine. It made the most startling contrast against Calliope’s skin.
His cock strained painfully within the confines of his trousers. Licking his lips, he eyed her dark nipples, remembering how they’d tasted when he suckled them. He wanted to do it again. Tonight.
She gyrated, dipped, twirled and jiggled. Unable to help himself, Blaze began to slowly rub the front of his pants, trying to relieve the ache building in his balls. This time, when each of his harem members did their solo number, Calliope stepped forward. She actually took it one step further, approaching to a distance closer than protocol.
When Tuk made a move to pull her back, Blaze held up his hand to halt the servant’s progress. “No, it’s all right,” he said softly, but still with enough authority to convey his word was law. “Come close, Calliope,” he whispered.
For a brief second she faltered, but then swayed over to him, her breasts mere inches from his face. With other diners surrounding him, he knew he couldn’t touch her, but damn, he wanted to.
The scent of her exotic perfume was enough to make his cock even harder. It was the same fragrance used by all of the women in the harem, but mixed with her own unique smell it was heady. How could he get through the rest of the performance without hauling her over his shoulder and carrying her to his bedroom where he could fuck her bowlegged?
It only seemed like seconds, but it must have been longer than that when she backed away, giving the next girl a chance to dance before him. He barely spared the woman a second glance, his eyes following Calliope’s every movement. Could his pride allow him to choose her for the night after she’d crushed him?
His head told him to teach her a lesson, but his cock would not allow it. He had to have her. Damn her.
How he made it through the rest of the evening was beyond him, but he did, just barely. Once the dance was over he beckoned to Tuk. “I’ll have Calliope tonight. Take her straight to my chambers. I’d like her there waiting for me when I enter.”
“Of course, Sire, and might I be so bold to add that she will not disappoint you this time?”
