I leaned over, my teeth nipping at the tendon in her neck, feeling her jerk under me, her dweller becoming submissive to me.

“Ash,” she whispered, and I smelled her wetness, her desire.

“How long do I have before you need to go back?” I muttered in her ear.

“As long as you will have me.”

“What?” I pulled back, my eyebrows knitting.

“I realized following in my mother’s shoes is not what I want. I want to be in the action, living life on my terms,” she said. “I sat down with my parents and told them I no longer want to be an active royal.”

“Wh-what?” I sputtered.

“They didn’t fight me because they saw I wasn’t happy.” She wrinkled her nose. “Though there were some compromises.”

“Compromises?”

“I finish school,” she stated. “But lucky enough, Budapest has a university I am very interested in.”

“Oh, really?” I couldn’t stop touching her.

“Yes, and I will have to do some international diplomatic things when the king and queen need me to step in, especially in dealing with both Romania and Russia.”

Both countries were in upheaval after their presidents were murdered. President Lazar and President Kozlov, along with their wives, were victims of Sonya. Many were trying to stake their claim and seize power, creating an even more unstable environment within the already turbulent countries. It was not going well for the innocent people just trying to live their lives.

“Yes, I hear from Killian there are a lot of issues with both countries. Might take a long time to work out. Like centuries. At least.”

“I heard even longer than that.”

“So, you are here. To stay?” My hands roamed over her figure. Fuck, she was stunning.

“Yes, but I think my father will be heading here to settle me into school. He mentioned wanting to speakwiththat fucking tree fairy trying to steal his daughter.” She nipped at my lips.

“If I can handle his daughter…” I tucked hair behind her ear. “I can surely handle him.” I couldn’t stop smiling, but I forced myself to, gazing down at her seriously. “You’re sure you’re okay with this?”

“You have given up and lost so much in your life.” She peered up at me. “I thought it was time someone sacrificed for you.”

“So going to school in the stunning city of Budapest, with no job, while getting fucked multiple times a day is a sacrifice?”

“A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.” She shrugged with a grin. She quickly went serious, her thumb sliding over my bottom lip. “Look, I don’t know what I want to do with my life right now. I just know whatever it is, it’s with you.”

“And what I want to do with my life… is you.” I pulled her in, my lips grazing hers. “You know how insatiable nature fairies are? We’re relentless.”

“Do you know how horny dark dwellers are? Ravenous.” She wrapped her arms around my neck.

I yanked out the pair of die from my pocket, the ones I had used on her in the brothel that one night. My lucky dice. Though Opie still was pissed I ruined his costume. He got me back, taking an extra chapter from the fae book to create a dress with a cape.

I twirled the die between my fingers, watching Raven’s mouth gape. “Is that…?”

“Yep.” I smirked. “Ready to take a gamble?”

“With you? Always.” Her mouth brushed mine. “You know, we never did end up fucking on a train.”

“We need to remedy that. Now.” I lifted her up, her legs wrapping around my waist as I headed for the caboose cart, not caring what thieves, killers, and criminals were among them, watching me fuck her hard in the hay, listening to her scream and cry out my name.

Because we were the baddest monsters there.
