Tem shook her head. “Say it like you mean it.” He flashed his gold teeth. “Is that an order?” She held his gaze. “Yes.” The abject hunger in his eyes was undeniable. He trailed a single finger down the stem of his wineglass, taking his time before answering.

Tem turned his words over in her mind. She noticed how he’d specified her perception of their power dynamic, as if her perception wasn’t correct. But it was. Caspen held the power. He always had. Before she could press the issue, he continued.

Just as uncertainty began to twist her stomach, the king turned to her. He held out his hand, and the moment he did so, the wave of calm returned.

Then, with a horrible crack, Tem felt her pelvis break. Pain slammed into her so sharply that she screamed. At the sound of her scream, Caspen came with a feral roar—one that shattered her eardrums and cracked the stone walls of the suite. He released such a powerful wave of energy that the basilisks surrounding them knelt in unison, bowing their heads immediately to the floor. The last thing Tem saw before she blacked out was Bastian walking toward them once more.

Then Leo said, “It’s your choice, Tem.” Her choice. Something Caspen and her mother refused to give her.

He dipped his head, holding her gaze. It was only when he was an inch away that he finally closed his eyes and lowered his head to her center. Rowe did what the others did not. The basilisks before him had merely pressed their lips against her, touching her for only a fraction of a moment. But Rowe’s tongue dipped inside her—curiously, as if he wanted to taste her—and Tem couldn’t hide the way her breath hitched with pleasure. As soon as it happened, Rowe drew away in disgust.

“Say it,” Caspen ordered. “Say her name.” Rowe blinked, his eyes focusing on Tem. “Temperance.” There was no mistaking the hot thread of hate in his voice. “Good. Now get out.” Rowe didn’t need telling twice. The moment he was gone, Tem looked back at Caspen. “You made him angry,” she whispered. “He made me angry.”

Leo continued. “You are also courageous. And irresistible. And you invariably make me a better person, even when I struggle to return the favor. In short, you are too good for me. But I’m asking for you anyway.”
