Taariq

Taariq brushed his finger along Zarah’s arm as the early morning sun brightened the room. His naked body spooned hers, the warmth between them undoing any need for the blankets now kicked onto the floor.

Her skin was softer than any he’d ever touched. Having access to proper baths and lotions as a princess her whole life had definitely paid off.

He used to think that all nobles were snobs, with no care for anything outside of their small piece of reality. After meeting Zarah, he was embarrassed of all the ways he’d judged those who lived inside the palace or were of noble birth. Although he had no new expectations that many wealthy people were, in fact, lost in their privilege, he was now eating his assumptions.

As he trailed his finger down her arm, he thought of all the ways she had surprised him. She was nowhere near as proper as he’d have pictured a Princess of Lyria. And she was much more adventurous. He’d seen the nerves on her face when she’d distracted the merchant, but any fear she’d had hadn’t stopped her. Once they were done, she’d also shared how guilty taking something from someone had made her.

And what could he say about last night? Since the moment he’d saved her, he’d known something drew them together. But when she suggested turning herself in to somehow salvage a peace treaty that might never work, his respect for her had doubled. As had his desire.

The further they’d pushed the boundary between them, the stronger his lust had grown.

Zarah wiggled as she stirred, her backside pressing into his manhood and making his morning erection even harder. A smile, reaching from her lips to her eyes, filled her face as she rolled over to face him.

“Good morning.” Her gaze dropped to his cock. “And good morning to you, too.” She reached down and circled a finger over his head.

He was relieved to see her in such a good mood. Their night together had been splendid, but the blood splotches on the bedcover confirmed what she had said, that it had been her first time, and he’d feared he had pushed her too far.

It had not, however, been his first time with a woman. Although Taariq was no womanizer, he’d had a handful of drunken nights in the beds of unsatisfied wives, whose husbands were too busy to tend to their sexual needs.

Last night, though, put every other lustful experience he’d had to complete and utter shame. At first, he hadn’t understood how he’d been so rash when he’d used his magic to save her. But now, after seeing her laugh and witnessing the devotion she had to her people, so much so she was ready to turn herself in for the mere hope of peace, the thought of him walking by as that cruel guard assaulted her nauseated him.

“Are you all right?” he wasn’t sure how to properly ask a woman questions like that, but he needed to know he hadn’t hurt her.
