CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

ARTHUR

Islammed the door to my bedroom and leaned against it, breathing hard. Heat surged against my palms – the fire within desperate to be unleashed.

Leaving Maeve upstairs, her heavy-lidded eyes begging me to bend her over the bed and take her… took every ounce of self-control I still possessed. I’d been stiff all day watching that tiny dress clinging to all her curves. And there she was, her lips against mine, telling me I was special, that she had feelings for me⁠—

But what she was asking…for me to share her with my best friends like she was a chattel, like she wasn’t amazing and special. I couldn’t disrespect her like that. No fucking way.

With shaking hands, I hung my sword on the hook above my bed, always within arm’s reach in case I needed it. It reminded me not to give in to temptation. Beneath it were two medieval prints Corbin had gifted me for my birthday last year. They were written in Latin, which I couldn’t read, but Corbin told me they represented the chivalric code of the Late Middle Ages.

“When I think of you, Arthur, I always think about their medieval knights – fierce warriors who upheld the honour and nobility of their kingdoms, and always opened doors for ladies,” he’d said with a grin.

Eventually, maybe, Maeve would see it that way, too.

I sat down on the mattress, my body wrecked with tiredness, but my eyes wide open, my cock rubbing against my jeans.

Like hell I was going to sleep tonight without a cold shower…or…or something else.

I stared at the sword on the wall, my veins buzzing. No, a cold shower it is.

There were two bathrooms on the bedroom floor, and I shared one with Corbin. I knew him well enough not to expect him to leave the library until the early hours of the morning, so I had it to myself. I peeked out of the door and – seeing it was empty – crept down the hall, slipped inside, and shut the door behind me.

I turned the water on as cold as it went and got undressed. I pushed my pants down, my cock springing free, so hard that even pulling my pants off made it ache. I stepped under the freezing water, letting the stream pummel my body. White hot pain arced across my skin, raising goosebumps down my arms, but it wasn’t working. I was still hard.

I could still taste Maeve on my lips.

I closed my eyes. Maeve appeared in my mind. Her naked body –
