“Thank you, Krynn,” I said. “I…I don’t know what to say.”
“You don’t have to say anything. You have to fuck,” Sel growled. He raised an eyebrow at me. “Have you ever fucked anyone before, Princess?”
I felt my cheeks getting hot with a blush.
“If you mean have I ever strapped on a harness and dildo and, er, penetrated anyone, then the answer is ‘no.’”
The big Fae frowned.
“Hmm, then a lesson might be in order before the Public Quenching.”
I raised my eyebrows at him.
“You’re going to teach me how to fuck?”
“I’ll see what I can do,” he promised. “But first we need to go back to the Banquet Hall and tell Mordren he’s shit-out-of-luck and there’s no fucking way he’s getting another hundred years added on to his Regency.”

“I choose the Public Quenching,” I said to Mordren, as soon as I had settled myself back in my chair.
His silvery-white eyebrows shot up and the corners of his mouth pulled down in immediate displeasure.
“You do?”
“Yes,” I said simply, spreading my napkin on my lap. “Though it’s liable to be embarrassing, I find a Public Quenching to be infinitely preferable to letting you continue ruling for the next hundred years. It’s time I claimed my throne and if this is the only way to do it, then so be it.”
“So you’re really going to do it? You’re really going to make a spectacle of yourself in front of the entire Court?” Lady Elgiana said, delicately raising her eyebrows.
“Yes,” I said shortly. “I am.”
“And which of your companions will you be drinking from and fucking?” Lady Elgiana purred, eyeing both Seldarin and Krynn, who were back in place standing behind my chair. “I can recommend Krynn from extensive personal experience—he moans so beautifully when you hurt him. But I’d love to try fucking our brave Captain of the Guards—I imagine he’d present quite a challenge.” She eyed Seldarin’s big, muscular body greedily.
“In your fucking dreams,” Sel growled, glaring back at her. “I’d sooner sleep with a fucking snake!”
“We could certainly incorporate some kind of snake-play into our time together,” Lady Elgiana agreed, apparently unfazed by the big Fae’s obvious dislike. “I don’t usually work with animals, but something could be arranged.”
“I don’t think Seldarin is interested,” I said blandly.
“Seldarin and I are sworn to the service of the Princess,” Krynn said coolly. “Neither of us is interested in anyone else.”
“Well, well—it seems you have them wrapped around your little finger, my dear,” Lady Elgiana purred, smiling at me. “So which of them are you going to fuck? Or are you going to let one of them fuck you?”
“You’ll have to wait and see. I don’t care to discuss it any further,” I said. “Could someone please pass the wine? I’m thirsty.”
This statement sent a ripple of dismay down the length of the High Table and one of the servants quickly poured me a large goblet of wine.
I went through the motions of eating and drinking, but I barely had any appetite, to be honest. It didn’t take long for the word to get around that I would be doing a Public Quenching after the banquet. Soon everyone sitting at the lower tables was staring at me and whispering behind their hands. Probably they were speculating about the same thing Lady Elgiana had been—which of my two companions I would either fuck or be fucked by.
Mordren sat there with an empty plate looking angry. Apparently he’d been counting on me being too embarrassed to “suck and fuck” someone in front of the whole Court and was certain he was going to get another hundred years to rule as he pleased.
Lady Elgiana continued to look amused. She kept casting speculative looks at both Sel and Krynn, as though guessing which one of them I was going to take.
Lady Nolana kept giving me sympathetic looks but she didn’t try to discuss the situation, for which I was grateful. I really didn’t want to talk about this.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage it. I had never put on any kind of sex show before—I’d been a stay-at-home mom, not a stripper, after all. And I had certainly never pegged anyone in the past—Christopher would never have been interested in taking the submissive role in our love life. So I was afraid this was going to be a really strange and awkward experience. But I really had no choice—it was this or let Mordren keep control and that was out of the question.
Finally, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I rose abruptly and put my napkin on the table.
“If you’ll excuse me, I need to get ready,” I said, nodding briefly to the others at the table.
“I hope you’re not planning on running away again, Princess,” Mordren said sharply. “If you don’t show up to the Public Quenching and demonstrate to the entire Court your Thirst is quenched and your sexual need is satiated, you’ll automatically cede the leadership of the Dark Fae to me for another hundred years.”
