Chapter 32
Reynaeros
The image Iâd been subjected to was enough to make me murderous. Between Kieraâs duplicitous antics and my brotherâs attempts to undermine me, I was inclined to just burn this entire place to the ground and start over.
Ever since sheâd come here, things had taken a turn for the worst. The fights werenât as interesting with new contenders every night, I didnât have a group of women to choose from when I was feeling ornery, and every time I was in her vicinity, I had to be prepared for her to stab me. It was a fucking nightmare.
Dropping onto my back, I stared up at the ceiling. With my foul mood, the plants growing from my ceiling began to shift, some of them growing thorns and others darkening. I breathed, trying to get a grip on my anger before it started to infect my mind.
When I tried to find something nice to focus on, Kieraâs face swam behind my eyes. The smell of rot assaulted me as my anger multiplied. Just the thought of her and her unnecessarily volatile energy made it spread to me. If I could get rid of her right now, I would do exactly that. Considering how broken she appeared, it would be a mercy.
Now she was avoiding me, as if I was the one that had wronged her. She had stabbed me in the chest with the intention of killing me. Perhaps she was right when she told me I was weak.
If she could so easily land a blow like that, she might actually have a chance of bringing me to my knees, but sheâd made a mistake. She did not land a killing blow and now I wouldnât allow myself to let my guard down. In the back of my mind, Iâd known she was playing a game, but Iâd still fallen into her trap. Why the hell did she have any sort of effect on me?
It was what sheâd done to my body. Now that I didnât have my harem, it was nearly impossible to work off my frustrations and my body craved the release. With her closeness and her trickery, Iâd been weak for but a moment. It wouldnât happen again.
Even as I decided it, I remembered the smell of her. It shouldnât have been pleasant. It was sweat, the lingering scent of her soap, and the unique signature of her energy. Just lying here, I could taste it if I reached out.
My cock stirred in my pants, making me grit my teeth. Doing that would be a bad idea. As long as I didnât think about her, though, there was no harm.
Pulling it out, I stroked it a few times, a shiver running down my spine at the sensation. My barbs pushed at my skin and I allowed them to poke out. Without the concealment on it, I had more feeling in it, the texture and ridges so sensitive I was nearly overwhelmed.
I imagined a faceless body before me, naked and bared to me.
