Lance

Goddess help me. My queen’s words undid me. They undid Bors. And between the conflagration of desire flooding our bonds…

It was all I could do not to fall at her feet as well.

Yet I hesitated. What she asked… was complicated. Impossibly so.

I didn’t say anything, but Bors felt my reluctance in the bond. Stricken, he dropped his chin to his chest. Head bowed. Slumped.

It broke my heart. It broke her heart. She looked at me, her eyes dark with pain and understanding.

There was no question that I loved Bors as much as he loved me. I’d love to fuck him. I had fucked him several times in the centuries we’d roamed the earth, waiting for our queen. It’d been incredible.

Raw. Violent. Rough. The way we both liked it.

When our queen wasn’t involved.

And that was the rub. When I was with Bors, I became a different person. One I often regretted later. I didn’t mind sharing that side of me with him, but I did mind letting our queen see me like that.

Vicious, hard, out of control. I wasn’t a caring, protective alpha when I was with him. I was all beast. All dominance. And by goddess, he was going to pay dearly in sweat and pain before I was finished.

I didn’t want her to ever fear that I would come to her the same way. Or worse, that I preferred the violent side of myself that I would never share with her. I’d rather slit my throat than make her feel second choice.

“It’s not about choice.” She wrapped her arms around Bors’ head and pulled him against her. “It’s about love, and there’s no shortage of love in this room.”

“Then you misunderstand everything, my queen.” She flinched at the harsh edge in my voice, but I couldn’t help it. Looking at him, on his knees, broken and hurting and needing…

It stirred the beast inside me. The dark side that I tried so hard to keep buried and chained.

“It’s not about love. It’s about pain.”

She nodded, stroking her fingers over Bors’ skull. “You love him enough to give him the pain he needs.”

“The violence. The darkness.” I clenched my hands into fists, fighting the urge to grab him and sling him across the room.

Into our queen’s bed.

“It’s not a pretty sight, my queen. You haven’t…” My voice cracked on a rumbling growl. “Seen me. Like that.”

“I want to see all of you. I love you, Lance. As much as I love him. As much as you love him. I’m not afraid.”

But I am. I didn’t say it aloud, but I didn’t have to. She heard.

She reached up and pulled a pin out of her hair, letting the strands fall free. She didn’t wear her hair as long as Guinevere of old, but it took her a few minutes to unravel the braid to free her lustrous hair.

Something the famous knight would never have been privileged to witness.

His lady queen, letting down her hair. For bed.

When her lord husband, the king, awaited her.
