Chapter Fifteen

Chess

Chess laid beneath the down-filled duvet, trying to fall asleep in a strange bed, for hours. Not that he hadn’t slept in dubious places before, but this was the heart of Ivory. The soft mattress and lingering scent of lilies wouldn’t allow him to forget that fact, so he’d noticed when Ever’s soft footfalls paced her room. Felt her gaze when she’d cracked the door to peek in on him.

Part of Chess wondered if she was simply having trouble sleeping in case anyone snuck in to assassinate her, but his intuition told him there was more to it. The air was full of static, crackling with distrust. Things hadn’t been that way between them since they’d first been forced together in the mortal world safe house. But maybe he was imagining things…

Should I check on her?

If all she needed was a little comfort, a distraction, he was more than willing to comply a second time. By spreading those creamy thighs, tasting her, bringing her over the edge over and over. She’d been so responsive when he’d licked her slit and had tasted so fucking good. Both her sex and her blood. Sweet. Like how he remembered candy tasting when he was a mortal. It would be no hardship to have her hands on him once more. Ever may have been a virgin, but that didn’t mean she didn’t know what she was doing. If she ever granted him the honor of taking her fully, he wasn’t sure they would ever leave a bed again.

Unless it was to fuck in the bath or on a table or against a wall … oh the things they would do together. They could explore each other all night until March came searching for her again—because he undoubtedly would. Clingy bastard. There were many other things to do now that Ever had reclaimed the castle and they couldn’t afford to lose momentum by reveling in their victory. Rav could show up at any moment for all they knew. They’d killed his guards with a glorious swiftness, but the news was bound to get back to him soon. March could busy himself with that instead of worrying about Ever.

But perhaps March was right to worry about her. The gut feeling that she was up to something only increased along with the padding of her feet.

Chess purposely evened out his breathing and snuggled into the pillow to appear as if he were asleep. It only took ten minutes of pretending for him to get his answer. The soft click of her door shutting in the adjoining room told him everything he needed to know—Ever was sneaking out.

But to where? Why?

Chess eased from the bed, threw his clothes and boots on, and slipped into the hallway. Ever was already out of sight. He cursed silently and listened closely. Her rapid footsteps came from the right, descending stairs, if he was hearing correctly. Light on his feet, Chess followed.

He kept his distance, not allowing himself to get closer than to see a blur of deep brown hair in the dark, as she traversed the castle.
