The Destroyer Book 2 (50 page)

"You are pregnant?" I tried to say it calmly but she rolled me deeper into her and my breath caught.

"Yes,” she muttered and closed her eyes.

"Who is the father?" I was surprised. Was I jealous? I knew I should not be, but there was something deep and dark in most men that made us want to impregnate everything within our radius, as instinctual as the desire for food and water. I did not love her, but the animal part of me still wanted to claim her.

"It is my turn for a question, O'Baarni." She opened her eyes and then her mouth formed a small circle shape. Our bodies were making quick wet slippery sounds as she rode me.

"Ask." I gritted my teeth in annoyance. I needed to plan my next questions. It really didn't matter who made a child with my lover.

"Did you kill Fehalda's warriors?" she smiled wickedly and rolled her hips in a circular motion.

"Who?" I didn't know who Fehalda was, but I remembered Vernine and Isslata saying the name at the campfire many weeks ago.

"There were a dozen of our warriors. Apparently they were Fehalda's best, but I can't imagine them being better than me."

"I still don't really know what you are talking about." She was probably speaking of the Elvens who had attacked the castle the night Nadea and I had almost become lovers. Three of the assholes had kidnapped Jessmei. Seven of the others I killed, but one escaped. I remember Greykin saying he had killed one when they broke into Jessmei's room.

"They were supposed to capture you and the human princess. Only one of Fehalda's warriors returned. He claimed you killed seven of them single-handedly. The warriors sent to kidnap the king's daughter never returned.” Her breath was getting quicker and her nails dug into my shoulders.

"Ahh I remember them." I pulled her back down onto my lap again and pushed my hips up out of the chair, forcing my penis deep into her and leaving it there. My mouth attacked her nipple again, sucking and biting on it. She moaned loudly in appreciation and her body began to shake.

"So? Did you kill them?" she gasped the question in a rushed, hot breath.

"Yes."

She made a loud moan of pure ecstasy. It echoed off the bathroom walls like a lion's roar. Her vagina started to spasm around the erection that I had driven into her. Her face became a twisted visage of pleasure and pain that looked more animalistic than human.

"O'Baarni!" she seethed my name. "How?"

"It is my turn now." I smiled at her and ran my mouth from her breastbone up her chest, to her neck, and to her lips, licking, biting, and sucking while she screamed in ecstasy. This climax seemed to last longer than the one I had given her earlier. When I finally reached her tongue I silenced her screams with a kiss.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Ugghhhh!" She forced my face away from her mouth and panted as the last twitches of the climax shook her. Then she leaned her head on my shoulder while she wrapped her arms around my torso and the back of the chair.

"Ask. Don't stop fucking me though." She moved her hips to press me against her walls. She was incredibly wet now and I guessed that it would be difficult for me to climax inside of her unless we switched positions so I could thrust quicker.

"When did you last see Nadea?" I moved my hands down to her ass and cupped her small butt cheeks.

"Five seconds before I entered your room." Her nails lightly traced down the nape of my neck.

"What?" I almost threw her off of me, but her hands tightened around the back of my neck and her nails dug into my skin like picks into soft clay.

"How did you kill Fehalda's warriors?" she whispered into my ear before she licked the lobe and inside the canal.

"I ran through the city, they followed me but ended up spreading out, I killed them one at a time." I remembered the frantic battle through the dark streets of Nia and then the long chase after the three Elvens that had taken Jessmei.

She moaned in pleasure with my answer but said nothing. Her grip didn't loosen on my neck and I felt warm drops of my blood drip onto my shoulders. I was still deep and hard inside of her, but we both seemed to have forgotten that for a second.

"How did you see Nadea? Describe the situation," I fished again.

"Ahh . . . Nadea. Nadea. You should forget about her, O'Baarni. She isn't even your lover, and there is no way she could do this all night with you like I can." She laughed. "Actually, I have done this for weeks with you." Isslata relaxed her grip on my neck and sat back. Her eyes were wide and unfocused. She brought her fingertips up to her mouth and ran her long tongue over the bloody nails there. The taste of my blood sent a shiver down her body that I felt through our connection. "How perfect are we for each other? All of our appetites run in parallel. I will guide you through the predicament you are in if you'll let me."

"Answer my question." I forced my shoulders to relax. Her eyes focused again on my face, but she continued to lick my blood off of her nails.

"I was strolling to our suite like I normally do after my training. Your pet human was walking by with her escort. They were heading to her room, or so her chaperone said." She smirked and put her hands on my hips.

They were probably moving Nadea around to different rooms in the castle. That way it would reduce the chances of me escaping and finding her. Nadea was tough, but I didn't think there would be a way for her to overpower a single Elven guard that would be taking her to a new location. She could be in a room right next to me and I wouldn't even know.

Unless I could hear her.

I filed that thought away for use later tonight. I had been told originally that Nadea was in the dungeon, and there would have been no way I could hear her from that far underground. But if we were in the same wing, I might be able to sense her voice if I channeled Earth and concentrated. It was worth a try.

Isslata seemed to know that I needed to change positions, she pushed her toes into the smooth stone of the bathroom floor and raised herself off of my legs. My penis slipped out of her and I gasped in surprise when the colder air contacted my slick skin. She spun around quickly and sat on my lap with her back pushed against my chest. Her hands grasped my length and then I felt myself slide into her warmth with an accompanying wet sound. We both sighed in pleasure once I was again inside of her.

"What do you think?” She leaned into my chest and positioned her right cheek against my left. Her hair fell over my scalp and back.

"Think of what?"

"My offer. I can help you." She nuzzled me with her nose and her voice dropped to a whisper. Her body rocked again, forcing me to scrape against the side of her velvety walls.

"I'm not sure what you are offering, or what it will cost me." My hands wrapped around her waist and my fingers dug into the sharp bones of her hips.

"The empress will interrogate you. She'll want to understand why you came to this world and what clans you are aligned with. Tell her you won't discuss it without me there. Then I can advise you." She gasped in pain or pleasure at my grip.

"I don't see how Nadea is freed in this agreement. Nor do I know how useful your advice will be, or what you are getting out of this arrangement. Try again." I eased my grip and ran my fingers up and down her bare back. She made a growling noise again. Then she leaned forward and put her palms on the tops of my thighs by my knees, using her arms and legs as leverage, she moved her entrance on my shaft. Our bodies were now soaking wet from our sweat and her wetness.

"What if I could free your human?" she said after half a minute of impaling herself on me. Her breath came out in gasps.

"How would I know she is free? Why would you let her go? Won't your general and empress be angry with you?" I wrapped my hand across the front of her body and cupped her breasts. Her nipples where hard and she unleashed a cry of pleasure when I pinched the firm mounds.

"The empress just wants you. Nadea is here for leverage. If you'll agree to stay, then the human may go free. The empress will probably let her go after she speaks to you anyway. The king's niece will be useful if kept alive." Isslata leaned back into me as I fondled her breasts. Her hips moved in a circular pattern.

"How would I know she was free?" I asked again.

"You can see her leave the castle."

"How do I know you won't pursue her and capture her again?" I released her breasts and pushed her down on my shaft again. She shuddered and exhaled a deep moan. We'd been fucking each other for almost an hour now, but we were just getting started. We could continue for most of the night without tiring. Dinner would arrive soon though, and Isslata had said Vernine would join us.

"We don't care about your damn human, O'Baarni!" She looked over her left shoulder at me. The glare was angry for a second before she closed her eyes in pleasure. I could feel her walls relax and then clamp around my shaft like she was flexing a muscle. She bit her lip again. Blood speckled on her teeth, lips, and a small amount dribbled down her chin. This was normal during our bouts of passion. One or both of us would finish with light wounds by the end of the night. It was fortunate that we healed so quickly.

"Okay. I agree to stay. You free Nadea. I see her leave the castle. What is to prevent me from leaving?"

"Your word that you won't." She pushed down harder and quicker. The wet slippery sounds of our bodies filled the tiled walls of the bathroom.

"Unlikely. I'll leave as soon as I know she is safe."

"Then," she paused and let out another long moan, "you won't know what the empress wants from you. You won't know what her agenda is."

I stayed silent for a moment, my brain spun around the idea Isslata had presented me while it tried to ignore the sensations my loins were feeling as she ground her body against me. I could escape this castle at any time. They probably understood that they wouldn't be able to contain me.

"Let's say I agree to stay after you have freed Nadea. Alatorict won't let her go." I guessed there was a schism between Isslata and Alatorict, but I didn't know how deep the divide went. Was Isslata betraying him to gain favor with the empress? I couldn't imagine she was helping me out just because she enjoyed how I fucked her.

"I will worry about Alatorict. Nadea will be freed. You'll stay in the castle until the empress speaks with you. When she does, you'll ensure that I am present. Agreed?" The last part came out in a squeal of pleasure. The orgasm was building in my groin. Her pace was so quick and her movement forced me so deep into her that I couldn't hold back much longer. She must have felt my body begin to tense because her nails dug into my thighs painfully and she made the familiar moans that were an indicator of her own climax.

"I want to see Nadea face-to-face."

"Impossible!" The word came out in a frenzied gasp. She had to raise her voice to get over the sounds of our bodies coming together.

"You are going to sneak her out of the castle. Bring her to me before so I can see she is alive and unharmed. Then I will agree to your terms." The buildup overcame me. I tightened my left hand around her hip bone and pushed her down on my erection so that I forced myself as deep as I could into her tunnel. My right hand came up to her shoulder and grabbed her smooth skin there, pushing her body down more and bending her back like a bow being pulled. Her tunnel tightened and my first orgasm punched through us like the strike of a hammer.

My shaft tugged and I felt the painful but deeply satisfying release of my seed into Isslata. I bit her left shoulder to keep from shouting in ecstasy. She felt my body filling her entrance and her own orgasm crashed into her. She tried to twitch, either to fight against the pleasure or to enjoy the sensation as much as she could. However, I held her down against me so tightly that she couldn't do more than tense her walls around my penis and flex her leg muscles.

Her voice was not trapped though.

"Yes. Yesssss! Yessssssssssss!" she screamed like a banshee and another orgasm sent my seed into her womb. I stopped biting her shoulder and pulled her face down sideways to my lips. Our mouths devoured each other's and I couldn't tell if the blood I tasted was mine or hers. Probably hers.

Our climax passed and she leaned back against my chest with a sigh. I was still hard and inside of her. The combination of my seed and her wetness made her channel seem impossibly warm and moist, but the sensation didn't bother me. My hands and fingertips stroked her arms, belly, and breasts while she purred appreciatively.

"I can't bring her here," she muttered.

"You will find a way. Unless you are jealous?" I smiled when I said it. I knew I would have her agreement shortly. This affair with Isslata was turning out to be more beneficial than I had hoped.

"No," she laughed. "Although, she should be jealous of me. Every woman in the castle should be envious."

"You flatter me." I smiled. I could only remember having sex with two other women. Iolarathe had enjoyed the pleasure I had given her, as had Jessmei, but Isslata indicated that I was giving her an above average performance.

"I will bring her to you. Do you agree to everything else?" She swung her right leg over my hips and sat on me sideways. The movement released my penis from the grasp of her vagina with a slippery sound. She wrapped her arms around my neck and our eyes met.

"Yes." I smiled up at her. "It is my turn again. Why do you call yourselves Ancients? You are known as Elvens." The O'Baarni was the old human language. It actually meant: “the ancient race.”

"Oh," she said and opened her eyes. They stared into mine with mirth. "These outlier worlds are hardly ever visited. Sometimes they develop their own myths or petty religions. We were surprised when our initial investigation found that they had history that included our old conflicts. But of course, most of your kin are dumb and forgetful. They got their names mixed up with their events and their sides. We did not name ourselves when we stepped through the Radicle. They gave us the name and we accepted."

I heard movement coming down the hall from outside my room. It interrupted the question Isslata was about to ask me and the disturbance sounded like three or four boot steps. She must have heard it as well; she raised an eyebrow and gave me a puzzled expression. Within a few moments there was a knock at the door.
