“Calys?” He shook his hellcat hard.
She wailed in the most un-warrior-like voice he had ever heard from her, “I thought you were dumping me.”
Alejandro shook his princess harder. Maybe, if he shook her hard enough, her brain would sort itself out properly. “I love you. Idiot. Why would you think I’d be able to bear leaving you?”
But his hellcat didn’t answer. She was too busy acting more un-warrior-like, with the way she was crying. The sound of it made his heart clench and at the same time, it made him want to smile. He hauled her into his arms, something which made her sob harder even as her arms curled around his neck.
He hugged her tightly to him, unable to believe that after all this time, he finally had her back where she belonged. This time, she would stay in his arms, because he sure as hell would never let her go.
“Princess?”
Between tears, she asked, “Yes?”
“I need you to promise you won’t go Kill Bill on me, but I just want you to know that I took a picture of you crying. Just so you’ll have a reminder of how much of a warrior you are—-” He grunted in pain as Calys delivered a painfully precise jab to his ribs. “Dammit, I told you not to kill me.”
In her singsong voice, she said, “Then erase it before I kill you.”
WEEKS LATER, ALEJANDRO covered his Queen’s mouth as he thrust into her.
Unable to plead for her mate not to stop fucking her, Calys could only grip the edges of the marbled sink tightly and tried her best not to slip off it.
Someone knocked hard on the door. “One damn minute, Your Majesty, or I’ll have five-year-old cubs breaking down the door.”
Calys’ eyes widened at the threat.
Alejandro grinned. Damn if that jaguar wasn’t creative – and effective – with his threats. Bending close, he whispered to his Queen’s ears, “I’m afraid I have to make you come now, Your Majesty.” After that, he gave it to her exactly the way her passionate warrior’s body wanted it. He shoved his cock into her as deeply as he could, his hips jutting fast and wild. He covered her mouth with his when her cries became too much for his hand to muffle, and she wrapped her arms around him, kissing him back wildly. They came together the moment their tongues fused, their semi-clothed bodies shuddering against each other as he filled her pussy with his come.
After, he laughed at the way her normally graceful fingers became clumsy in her haste to rearrange her clothes. “Relax, Your Majesty. Let me do that for you.”
A moment later, both of them were properly clothed, not a single strand out of place as they stepped out of the ladies’ room.
Stefan and Anastasia were right outside. Calys’ younger sister was red-faced while the jaguar was scowling. When Alejandro started to whistle, Stefan’s scowl became even more pronounced.
Seeing it, Calys groaned, “Alejandro, stop it.” Both of them knew he was only doing it to annoy Stefan.
Alejandro gave her an elegant bow. “Whatever you say, my queen.”
Anastasia giggled.
Stefan said coldly, “If you’re going to giggle that much, then maybe you should have stayed in the schoolroom a year longer.”
When the two left, both of them were not speaking, and Calys said worriedly to Alejandro, “He’s being too hard on her. I know it’s his way of keeping his distance, but...surely he also knows that I would readily accept his proposal if he did offer for her?”
Alejandro shook his head. “He’s not being too hard on her if you ask me. It’s himself he’s being too hard on. If I were him, I would have long forgotten about honor and simply went after what I wanted.”
Calys rolled her eyes. “That’s not how a warrior acts.”
“That’s exactly how a warrior would act when he’s after something.” The devastating smile Alejandro sent her after made Calys gulp, and she had a horrible feeling that those smiles were one of his mass weapons of seduction – the kind that he unhesitatingly used on her to get what he wanted.
“Thankfully, you are what I want.”
“Uh huh.”
“I will slay all the dragons in the world for you if it is what you will.”
As they started walking back to the throne room where the rest of their pack awaited them, Calys said seriously, “Don’t do that. Really. If you ever come across dragons, I’d rather you breed them and give me a dragon army.”
Her eyes glowed so brightly at her words it made Alejandro laugh. At that instance, she looked more like a Pokemon master about to catch them all. “So bloodthirsty, my queen.”
She sent him an impish smile. “But you like it that way.”
He said solemnly, “I like you in every way, my queen.”
They reached the throne room then, and as Calys claimed her rightful place, Alejandro stepped back, positioning himself behind her as her Cavaliere. One glance at him and everyone would be so easily deceived by his perfectly respectful manners, none of them knowing that under his courteous and charming exterior was a deadly warrior...and a wicked husband.
