A Little Bit Spicy

All it took was one sentence, and then Aliana was watching Chimera hoist Dalila up over his back like she weighed nothing, carrying her to the bed where he deposited her roughly. White-furred ears folded flatter to her skull when Chimera climbed up and growled a command for her to not try and run. No, she wouldn't be making that mistake again. Her body still had the bloody wounds from where the brute's jagged teeth had found purchase in her flesh during their fucking, and even if she wanted to run, she doubted her body would cooperate with how sore and tired it was. Chimera had worked her over good in his primal rage—if she incensed him further, she didn't know if she'd end this night with her life.

Swallowing back the lump in her throat, Aliana was forced to watch while Chimera prepared Dalila, listening to the mottled fae's moans and desperate cries of pleasure. Her heart went out to Dalila. The poor girl was having it so bad with her heat that she'd come begging to Chimera for relief, and now she would pay the price with her body, just as Ali had. All throughout their mating, Aliana remained silent. She watched Chimera flip and mount Dalila, watched as he had his way with her roughly, dominating the smaller wolf, watched as Dalila gave in to everything and saw the pleasure contort her features. Was this what she had looked like in the throes of passion with her king when they'd visited the island for the first time? She knew it hadn't been what she looked like tonight, but she couldn't deny that Dalila looked beautiful lost in the ecstasy of carnal delights.

All while she watched Chimera fuck Dalila before her, Aliana just kept repeating a mantra in her head. Find the silphium. Dalila would not suffer the same fate she would. Afraid that looking away might upset Chimera, Ali's aquamarine eyes danced between Chimera and Dalila, taking everything in from beginning to end, holding her king's gaze while he slaked his endless lusts with yet another fae. Would he finally be satisfied after this, or was she and Dalila in for a very, very long night?
