Roman straightened and spun to look at the small crowd. “I would lay my life down for this kingdom and any of you.” He ushered a still-stunned Violet forward. “Except when it comes to your queen. I would not hesitate to make a necklace of your bones if she’d only ask.”
Violet held out her hand. “I’m Violet.” Kelty bobbed his head. “The queen.” Violet fidgeted with the necklace around her neck and laughed. “Not yet.” Kelty grinned from ear to ear. “Tomorrow is close enough. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Grace.” Violet waved him off. “Please, call me Violet.” “Call her Your Grace,” Roman interjected, “or I’ll kill you.”
Violet jabbed Roman in the side with her elbow. “Stop threatening to kill people.” Roman looked down with a crooked smile. “No.”
She heard him inhale through his nose and tried to close her legs. He tutted. “Spread your thighs or I’ll make you.”
“You’re my favorite taste, baby.” He licked her again.
“You’re mine in every way,” he told her softly. “Forever. In every lifetime. No god or man can take you from me without joining me in death, and if they send me to hell for my sins, I will claw my way back to you, princess. Always.”
Roman looked between them, where his cock disappeared into her swollen pussy. “Look how well you take my cock, baby.” He pulled out slowly and paused until she lifted her head to see. The blue in her eyes thinned in favor of her dark pupils. “Your greedy little cunt needs me.”
Griff stepped forward for a better look. “It looks like a rabid dog bit you.” “One did,” Slayton added unhelpfully.
“Remove her gag,” Roman told a guard Violet hadn’t seen. “Don’t,” Violet countered. “Whatever she has to say isn’t worth hearing.” A bolt of lust shot down the mate bond, and she looked at Roman. “Really?” He shrugged. “Turns me on.”
“That smart mouth will get you in trouble, princess.”
“Is your cunt crying yet, wife?”
Violet screamed and bowed her back. The muscles in her body locked as liquid drenched his cock and thighs. This hadn’t happened the other times they’d fucked. He moved his hand between them and ran it through her slick. “Fuck, baby, you soaked us both.”
Roman grinned and leaned forward to swipe his tongue up her thigh. “You squirted for me.” Using his hand to press her against the glass, he slid to his knees on the floor and hoisted one of her legs over his shoulder. “I want it again.”
“I don’t care how you come, as long as it’s somewhere on me.”
“That’s my girl. Take what you want.”
“Again.”
Violet flicked him on the forehead.
“Is this a joke you’ve cooked up, dear wife?” Violet rolled her lips together to contain her smile. “You’ll pay for that.”
“I’m going to redden your ass for that.”
Inside their room, he kicked their door closed, sat on the bed, and turned her over across his lap. Lifting her skirt, he groaned at her bare ass. “No underwear?” “Don’t you dare spank me,” she said with no heat.
His heart tried to jump from his chest to attach itself to hers.
They passed a food cart and the man at the front huffed. “What do you mean you can’t serve mayonnaise?” “The crown made it illegal to serve mayonnaise, sir. We don’t have any.”
“You can’t outlaw something because I don’t like it.” His lips quirked into a cocky smile, and she wanted to both kiss him and smack him at the same time. “Yes. I can.”
Titus cursed and followed in their direction. “Violet don’t do this,” he pleaded. “I can keep you safe. You belong with me. I love you.” A condescending tsking sound followed his declaration, accompanied by Roman’s deep voice. “I thought the men in this kingdom would have learned by now that loving my wife is as dangerous as harming her.”
“What if they throw things at me and boo me?” “Then they will die,” Roman said as if he hadn’t threatened to murder people for a minor infraction.
Sarah reached over and patted her arm. “Let him protect you in the only way he knows how.” Violet balked. “The only way he knows how is murder.” Sarah lifted a shoulder. “So be it.” “It’s no use,” Felix explained on a sigh. “They’re just alike.”
“If you refuse to accept your queen, you will forever kneel before her.” His gaze held Violet hostage as he dropped to one knee and bowed his head.
He reached for her hand and pressed it to his chest. “I will spend the rest of my life on my knees for you, Your Grace.”
“Are you saying she doesn’t miss me?” He looked down and ran his thumb across her clit and sighed. “We can stop.” Violet grabbed a handful of Roman’s hair and shoved his head back between her legs. “I will fucking kill you.”
