A Lotus for the Regent (29 page)

Ajalira kept one
hand on his ass and used her other hand to play with Kamen's nipple ring. She
gently tugged at it, tweaking his flesh and sending a rush of blood to his
cock. It stiffened even more, and Kamen kissed her mouth. His tongue danced
with hers and moved in the same rhythm as their humping.

Kamen's cock was
thoroughly soaked now, for he had been sliding its under-side up and down
through her slit. He pulled away and wrapped one strong hand around her throat,
squeezing just enough to excite Ajalira but not enough to hurt her. He would
give her just the kind of punishment she wanted.

“
You've prepared the way for your master?” Kamen asked.

Ajalira nodded.
“Fuck me, master.”

Keeping a steady
pressure on her throat, Kamen aimed his cock at her pussy. With one long, slow
thrust, he buried his phallus inside her. She was not exaggerating; her pussy
was wet as the sea. Ajalira laid both her hands flat against Kamen's chest and
pushed, exciting him further with her coy game. Kamen slammed his cock down and
moved his hips in small circles so that his pelvis rubbed against her clit as
the head swirled deep within her.

Ajalira wrapped
her arms around Kamen's shoulders and pulled him closer. Though he did not
release her throat, he kissed her. He moved in and out at a slow pace, savoring
every inch of her vagina, and even going so far as to pull all the way out,
just so he could feel his cock pop past her tight pussy muscles again. She had
obviously been trained well at the guildhouse, for her vagina closed around his
cock like a fist.

Kamen shifted up
onto his knees to get a better position for ramming. He braced himself by
grabbing Ajalira's neck with both hands, keeping his body weight on his
knuckles that rested against the bed under her neck, but still squeezing enough
to elicit deep moans from her. He fucked her pussy until she came, and when her
orgasm shattered her and sent her hips into a frenzy, Kamen had to slip out of
her to avoid spraying before he was ready. The entire length of his cock burned
with unreleased semen, but that moment was all he needed. He slammed himself
back into her and kept going. Without removing his cock from inside her, he
threw one of her legs around him and turned her over on her side. Then he moved
her into his favorite position: one leg straight and the other in an “L” shape,
giving him a clear view of his shaft resting between her pussy lips. He licked
his fingers and pressed the middle and third fingers against her clit, using
his other hand to grasp the curve of her buttocks. Once braced, Kamen drove as
deeply as he could. He felt the head of his cock hit the end of her vagina, and
Ajalira looked back, her eyes wet with passionate tears. Kamen paused, but she
nodded. He massaged her clit in time with his thrusts, keeping his fingers
circling around her button as he fucked her from his kneeling position. This
allowed him to hit her pleasure spot deep inside while attending to her clit.
It did not take long for Ajalira's climax to cause her to raise her ass and
turn her pussy to just the right angle that it seemed to be begging for his
cum. If he released now, it would fill her up in her deepest place. But he was
not ready to. Ajalira's punishment was not yet complete.

Kamen sat back
and pulled her back with him. He then swiveled around to swing his feet off the
bed. Ajalira was still on top and facing away from him. In one strong, swift
movement, he slipped his hands under her thighs and stood. She was still
skewered on his cock, and he gave her a jolt to remind her. She slipped one arm
around his shoulders, hooking her elbow at his neck. They had never fucked like
this before. Holding her thighs steady, Kamen slid in and out of her pussy, the
unusual angle making it much tighter than normal. This also meant his rock-hard
cock slipped past her pleasure spot repeatedly, causing her ass to wiggle
against him. He turned his head and caught her nipple in his mouth, licking
around it and lightly biting its erect end.

With slow,
measured steps, Kamen walked over to the chest that sat on the far table. “Open
it.”

Ajalira twisted
the metal rod and flipped up the clasp. She looked at him.

Kamen indicated
the chest with a nod of his head. “You'll find a brass butt-plug in there. Get
it.”

Ajalira's eyes
widened, but she did as she was told. As she searched, Kamen gently fucked her.
She found the plug, wrapped in a black velvet bag with a drawstring.

“
And that vial of oil,” Kamen said.

Ajalira shook
her head.

Kamen slapped
her ass. “You don't understand. Being disobedient will just get you punished
more.”

Ajalira bit her
lip and arched her back.

“
Fine.” Kamen got the vial himself and took Ajalira back to the bed.
He put her on all fours and knelt behind her, burying his cock in her pussy and
holding himself there as he applied the oil to the brass plug. Once ready, he
pressed the plug against her anal rosebud, and she opened her body to admit it.
Little by little the shiny, brass object slipped inside her ass.

“
It's cold,” Ajalira said.

“
Feels good, doesn't it?”

Ajalira nodded
and looked back at Kamen. He grabbed her by one of her golden horns and pulled
her head back to kiss her neck. She was filled with all things Kamen: his cock
in her pussy, his toy in her ass, and his tongue in her mouth. He kept a hold
of her horn as he kissed her, but he also brought his other hand around and
squeezed her throat. Kamen was focused only on Ajalira's pleasure. He wanted
that perfect moment of ecstasy so that she would always associate it with
disobedience. He loved to chastise her, and he knew she loved it, too. The
butt-plug rested against his pelvis, so every time he thrust forward, the plug
moved in her ass.

“
This is what happens to recalcitrant concubines,” Kamen said,
tightening his grip on her neck.

“
I'll never disobey again,” Ajalira said, weeping in clear pleasure.

“
I know you won't, because I'm going to fuck the disobedience out of
you.”

Ajalira mouthed
a silent moan, and her eyes rolled back in her head. Her body shook all over,
and Kamen knew she was close to another orgasm. He popped up on his feet so
that his cock would drive in at her pleasure-spot angle, and he thrust
downwards. His thighs slapped against her ass with such force that her pale
flesh reddened. Cock, plug, and choking brought her to climax, and she
collapsed forward onto her breasts.

As Ajalira lay
panting, Kamen knew she was ready. He removed the plug, which caused her to
pout and whine, and replaced it with his cock. Ajalira buried her face in a
pillow and clawed at the sheets. At that moment, Kamen realized that she had
never done anal before, which shocked him, considering her Lotus training. The
thought of taking her anal virginity brought the cum rushing up his cock. He
slipped all the way in her and lay on top of her, cradling her head in his arm.

“
Are you all right?” he whispered in her ear.

She whimpered an
affirmative reply and submitted to his invasion.

Kamen snuggled
down beside her and kissed her brow, nose, and cheek. He stroked her hair as he
gently fucked her ass. He knew what it felt like; he had had Darien in his ass
before, and Kamen was nowhere near the size of Darien. Ajalira's ass would be
clenched, but in time, with gentle strokes, she would relax and might actually
move herself in order to put his cock just where she wanted inside her. But Kamen
did not rush it. He let her warm up to it. They kissed like first-time lovers,
alternating sweet and passionate, and all the while Kamen moved inside her. He
did not really pull his shaft out but kept it steady in her, only moving his
hips without really slipping in and out.

Eventually she
loosened up and raised her ass like a cat. This gave Kamen the opportunity to
slip his hands under her hips. His fingers found her clit, and he went to work
on it again. Now he dared to slip the shaft of his cock halfway out of her ass,
only to drive it back in. Ajalira bucked against him, taking her anal
punishment without difficulty. She had used plugs before, but such toys were
only half the length of Kamen's cock. Her pussy drenched his hand, and Kamen
wondered if she liked anal more than normal sex. Ajalira was almost purring.
With one hand, she reached back and grabbed her own ass, pulling the cheeks
apart. Kamen's shaft disappeared inside her.

“
Dump your cum in me, master.”

Kamen's cock
twitched and stiffened. He released her clit and her neck, instead holding her
by her waist as he slammed into her. With a few long strokes, he brought about
his own climax. All the strength fled his body, and his knees shook. He sprayed
his seed in her ass, pumping white cum into her back passage.

As he collapsed
on top of her, Ajalira said, “I cannot wait to disobey again.”

****

Oars gently
breaking the night water made the only sound that accompanied Kamen and
Ajalira's flight from Godswatch. The double moons, one half hidden behind the
other, shone down more red than blue from the clear, starry sky. Before the
small boat the Meshkenet Sea stretched away like an infinite black plain upon
which, sailing through pools of dark red waters, glided
Mirsa's Crown
.

As Kamen rowed
with his back to the sea, he watched the retreating lights of Godswatch.
“That's one city I won't miss.”

“
Nor I.” Ajalira sat opposite him and looked into his eyes. The
moonslight made her gold horns glitter.

“
Pull your cowl up,” Kamen said. “I don't want Kimereth's spies to
see us.”

Ajalira did so,
casting her face in deep shadow. “Do you suspect we have been followed?”

“
I don't think so.” Kamen took another long pull at the oars. He
loved the sea, even if he were only in a small rowboat. “But it's best not to
take any chances. I wouldn't put anything past that bastard at this point.”

“
I fear this whole arbitration has given you a bad impression of my
people.” Ajalira reached out and touched Kamen's knee. “But I assure you, Ausir
are a proud, noble, and good people. If only you could have seen the bliss of
Norivea when I was a child, when my uncle, Javin, ruled there.”

Kamen released
the oars just long enough to lean forward and kiss Ajalira's lips. “You forget:
I'm in love with an Ausir woman, so they can't be all that bad.” He winked.

They fast
approached
Mirsa's Crown
, and Kamen was not surprised when someone
called out across the red-black water to them.

“
Who goes there?” a voice called out in Sunjaa.

Kamen sighed
inwardly. It was good to finally be away from all the wagging Ausir and
Lefhanor tongues. “It is I, Kamen Itenu!”

“
Your Grace?” the voice called back.

“
Go fetch your master and tell him the Regent begs to come aboard.”

The silhouette
scampered off.

“
You are excited to see your friend,” Ajalira said.

“
Is it that obvious?” Kamen reached out and grabbed the rope ladder,
stopping the little boat's progress and pulling it alongside the hull of the
massive warship. “Now that we're together, my love, it'll be like old times
with me and Darien.”

Ajalira did not
respond, and Kamen could not see her face for the shadows of her cloak.

“
Who goes there? My mate tells me that the Regent of the Sunjaa,
Kamen Itenu, the Falcon Protector, Lord of Arinport, is down there in a tiny
rowboat.”

Kamen laughed.
“He speaks true.” He helped Ajalira to her feet and up the ladder, and then he
followed.

Darien's strong
arms lifted Ajalira aboard, and the Ausir looked like a child next to him.
Kamen came next, and Darien took his forearm and pulled him up as easily as he
might lift a mug of beer.

“
Permission to come aboard,” Kamen said.

Darien nodded
once. “Permission granted.” He picked Kamen up in a bear-hug. “So you survived
Arinport. My Saeri tells me those horned devils gave you a bit of trouble.” His
mouth clamped shut, and he looked at Ajalira. “A thousand pardons, my lady.”

Ajalira pulled
back her cowl and smiled, and Darien's lips broadened into a grin, too.

“
So,” the Admiral said, “what's this coming aboard in a rowboat?” He
looked over the edge and then back toward the Godswatch harbor. “The
Aramina
not good enough for you anymore?”

“
On the contrary,” Kamen said, “but I want to throw off those
Kimereth dogs. I'll travel back to Arinport aboard your ship, and my decoy—my
manservant—will take the
Aramina
.”

“
Expecting shenanigans?”

“
Most likely. They kidnapped Ajalira, though I can't prove it, and I
suspect now that it was the Kimereth who tried to assassinate me on the journey
up to Godswatch.”
