Nadyah sucked and licked and teased until Adelina screamed her pleasure, pulsing around Nadyah’s tongue. Oh, she tasted exquisite. She flicked Adelina’s clit one last time before getting back up.
She rode them both hard, teasing Adelina slow at first while the aftershocks dissipated and then she sped up the pace. Nadyah didn’t bother instructing Adelina further. Her own pleasure spiked as she pressed against the princess and she could feel Adelina trembling underneath her. Nadyah brought them both to climax before gently pushing Adelina onto her back.
They rested on the bed together, panting and spent. Nadyah kissed Adelina sweetly and then pulled her into her arms. “That is the quarto posto,” she said with a smile. Nadyah felt sated and relaxed. It eased some of her triggered instincts. “Do you feel better?” she asked her princess.
Adelina nodded and sighed, resting her head on Nadyah’s shoulder. “Thank you for that, though I am supposed to be the one to use the quarto posto,” she teased.
Nadyah grinned and kissed the top of her blacker-than-night head. “Later, we have plenty of time.”
These moments they had together made Nadyah doubt her feelings for the Prince of Thieves. The relationship between her and Varan had always been strained outside of work. Her unrequited feelings had made a friendship difficult. Nadyah didn’t feel as though a love that was meant to be should be so hard.
They should fall together like shooting stars.
Why hadn’t she scanned Varan’s DNA during all those cycles? Nadyah suspected some part of her subconscious doubted her feelings, but they were still there like a bur under the skin. Perhaps her lovesick desire for Varan was due to him being off limits to some degree.
Nadyah sighed and stroked Adelina’s hair. The feelings she had for the Prince of Thieves paled in comparison to the ones she had for her princess, but she thought it might be from the proximity. She was allowed to touch, kiss, lick, and pleasure her princess. The tips of her nails trailed over the bare skin of Adelina’s shoulders in lazy circles.
Cuddling after an instruction wasn’t against the rules, but it was frowned upon. It tended to blur the lines between Mistress and pupil. The grey area between her and Adelina had already started long before the camerraleto had officially begun though.
“We should get ready for the Games,” she said softly, afraid to break the spell. These peaceful moments were so rare, and Nadyah doubted the trip to the Hai galaxy would be as relaxing as she wanted it to be.
“I’ve no idea what to wear,” Adelina moaned, rolling onto her stomach. “I wish we could skip the Games. No doubt they will be tense. Raena will be on edge after the incident with the Neprijat King. Everyone saw it on the livestream. I only hope they all keep their mouths shut on the matter.”
Nadyah agreed. Who knew what the crown princess would do if someone confronted her outright? “I have the perfect outfit in mind,” Nadyah reassured her. “The rest of the events have been settled and the various ensembles are already taken care of.” She slid off the bed and padded towards the washroom.
“You’re a wonder,” Adelina murmured. The words held enough emotion it made Nadyah’s heart ache.
Nadyah cleaned up and then went back to her own rooms to get dressed. The space was still so bare. They were exactly as they’d been before she’d arrived at the palace. The difference was her clothes filled the closet. Nadyah knew it was temporary and most of her personal belongings stayed in her rooms at the House. Just her favorite jewels had come with her.
It took only moments to put on her purple dress. It hugged all her curves and Nadyah liked how it matched Adelina’s eyes in a show of fealty. Another moment and her hair and makeup were perfect.
When she returned to Adelina’s rooms the princess was fresh and standing in her closet, looking at the racks and racks of clothes displayed like glittering jewels. Adelina eyed her favorite pieces and Nadyah knew she wondered if they would send the right message to the Drakesthai.
“Some of those have already been selected for your wardrobe on the trip. If you would like anything specific, please send me a list and I’ll take care of it. Otherwise, leave it to me,” Nadyah said with a smile. She’d trained for cycles and knew exactly what was required for each situation that could possibly occur. It was fantastic to finally be able to use the skill to its fullest.
She selected a piece made of glittering black spidersilk. It was light and airy, near gossamer. The pants were black leather and soft as butter. Nadyah handed those to Adelina. “Was Raena’s declaration to marry Lord Alock finalized?” she asked. It was something she’d been wondering about. The Choosing Ball was still scheduled, and no official announcement had been made.
Her princess hopped a little to get the pants over her thighs thick with muscle. Nadyah couldn’t help but stare as Adelina’s breasts bounced when she pulled the pants over the round curves of her ass.
“There are no contracts signed,” Adelina replied. “Nothing official or filed from what I could see. Raena still has until the Choosing Ball, and she could legitimately change her mind and select someone else as her husband. Until there is a diamond and official contracts nothing is set in stone.”
Nadyah cocked her head as she contemplated. She doubted Raena had known the War Council was broadcasted at the time and had thrown out Lord Alock’s name as a reason to deny the Neprijat king. Now everyone knew, and therein was the problem. Raena still had to deal with the fallout, but now only one had more power than she. Nadyah supposed Raena could do whatever she wanted until contracts were signed. And even then only honor would hold her to them.
“Do you have a target for me to practice during the Games today?” Adelina asked.
Games were only held during times of celebration and on holidays. The Choosing Ball and Coronation were right around Summer Solstice. Of course, Raena had chosen the most perfect day to be crowned.
Nadyah smiled as she considered the options and picked up the next piece from the armoire of jewelry. Thin strands of gold were secured first around Adelina’s throat and then her waist. The loops were connected by one strand that went down her front, between her breasts and secured the bottom half right above her navel.
Once that was done Nadyah gave Adelina the top half of the outfit. It was black and wrapped around Adelina’s waist and breasts, leaving a slice of skin exposed around her middle. The sleeves were sheer to her elbows and left her shoulders exposed. Removable half-skirts at the waist fell to the floor in glittering waves.
It still looked like a gown from the back, but they only framed the hips, leaving her legs free so it would be easier to move. Adelina’s usual heels were replaced with jet-black riding boots.
