Between Two Kings (Split or Swallow, #2)

by Lindsay Straube

Tem had never been fucked against a tree before.

THATS THE FIRST LINE?!!? I love this book.

Tem had chosen Caspen. But it wasn’t because she didn’t love Leo. It was because she wanted more for Leo. And in doing so, she had accepted less for herself.

Less like... You don't get them both or you'd rather have Leo and you're settling?

When tied with a braided tassel, it marginally resembled a dress.

Won't matter. He'll rip it off anyway.

That was what Tem wanted.

Oh thank goodness. She better be between two kings before this book is done.

“Every Sunday night, you and Caspen will come to the castle and dine with me and Evelyn.”

But... Didn't Evelyn leave him for money?? Wasn't she down the fucking street the entire time??

I mean you are free to sleep with other basilisks if that is what you wish.

He specified basilisk.... But what about Leo????

“I would only be jealous if you slept with someone you loved.”

So no Leo then.... :(

She couldn’t even bring herself to mention the Sunday-night dinners

It's like Gilmore GirlS lol

Tem didn’t know what to call what they were currently doing.

Soaking

“We cannot choose who we love. Our hearts choose for us.”

“Temperance. You must be careful. Basilisks are free with their bodies but not with their hearts. It is a dangerous thing to love two people. You need to prepare yourself.”

But maybe Daddy Caspen will be willing to share if it makes her happy?????

“I think it’s rather unfair that you get to attend sex parties all day while I waste away washing dishes in the castle.

He has a point....

Now the man’s familiarity made sense. Tem had seen him before…when his head had been between her legs.

His head makes more sense there though tbh

Tem wondered why the thought of Caspen with a man turned her on yet the thought of him with a woman was terrifying.

Because you want to be Between Two Kingssssss GET IT??????

A direct infusion of cum in its purest form was probably the only thing strong enough to do the trick.

I'm dying at how ridiculous this is. But i love it.

“We do not raise them here. It is unsuitable for the young.”

I mean.... Yeah.

“It is not possible to take someone who wishes to stay.”

FACTS.

“Nothing comes to mind.”

BULLSHIT

You are my queen.

Daddy

With a gasp of surprise, Tem came.

Did she just come at the sight of her brother in laws cock????

Only Tem knew the truth: that the couple had not made her come at all.

Aw shit. Well just so we're clear

“If you are bound to someone by blood, it means you have committed your heart to them. By falling in love with someone other than my father, my mother betrayed that bond. By sleeping with that person, she broke it.”

Wait..... So is he gonna be an asshole about Leo?

“I love you both.”

I feel like that was the wrong thing to say....

There was nothing more clarifying than having a cock between her legs.

Good to know....

Not only was Caspen not going to fuck her but he had no intention of letting her come at all.

Or is he being a little resentful because she loves Leo and he's jelly belly

Almost as if he were protecting her—holding her together—ensuring that she did not break.

Or is he showing possession??

He seemed more like a captive in a cage.

A cage YOU put him in bitch.

You are the only queen I answer to.

Daddy

“Then you don’t know Maximus as well as I do.”

This bitch fucked him...

His cock was half-erect, thick and straight and glorious.

You already fucked his dad... Why not just do the brother too? You seem pretty obsessed with his dick

Come to me when you want me to fuck you the way my brother will not.”

..... Is he a Daddy too???

But for Tem, it was bedtime, and she yawned widely as Caspen grasped her waist and pulled her into the passageway.

When was the last time this girl slept??

He does want what is best for you. We all do.”

Idk about that

“Would you mind having a word with me after dinner?”

YAYYYY LEO TIMEEE

It means you cannot ruin what is already broken.

Oh shit.... I mean yeah. Fuck are we being Tamlin'd again :'(

Had he even noticed that her fingers were inside her, that his brother was across from her? But he had—she knew he had. And he’d ignored it.

I swear we are being Tamlin'd right now.

Leo stood at the top of the staircase. His face was pale.

Did he just see that?? And did Caspen know??

“You could’ve told me you were drinking from a cum fountain, Tem.”

He has a point there babe

Everything about it felt right…but something about it felt final.

Final?! Like the last time?!

Leo was a man of his word. And he’d given his word to Evelyn.

PLUS if you do Caspen will have to kill you. So there's that.

If Tem did the same—if she slept with Leo—Caspen would be forced to kill her.

Why are you not telling your father this???

Perhaps he deserved her, in every sense of the word.

NOOOOOOOOO

Peace is an illusion.”

you do not get to be angry that he hurts me when you hurt me too.”

TELL HIM BABE

An unmistakable yank tore into the center of her chest, as if Apollo were taking something solid from her.

Is he gonna know why she can't transition?? Does Caspen know?? IS CASPEN LYING ABOUT THE BLOOD BOND BECAUSE HE'S A JELLYBELLY?!

“It means that if you do not come now, it will cause a…barrier for all future climaxes.”

This feels like bullshit

“Tell me, Tem. Why is my brother’s cum in your pussy?”

Oooo Daddy's maddddddd

Tem had no idea whether she should be offended by that observation.

I think you should....

I cannot help it if she prefers my scraps.”

Being an asshole is a great way to get her to help you.....

“A cock is not a requirement for marriage, Tem.”

Facts.
