NTR: Barbarian Harem Conquest

Chapter 203: Forbidden Threshold (2)

The wine was bitter.

Not the refined bitterness of a southern vintage meant to be savored, just a harsh, dark red that coated the tongue and left a metallic aftertaste.

Kane drank it anyway.

He had swallowed worse in camps.

Across from him, Slovia matched him cup for cup without a flicker of discomfort.

His own body handled the alcohol the way it handled most poisons: the system that had kept him alive through bad water and worse wounds burned it away before it could dull his edges.

The queen showed no such need.

She drank like a woman who had long ago decided that nothing poured into a glass would ever rule her.

They emptied the first bottle.

Then most of a second.

The fire in the hearth burned lower.

The study felt smaller, the air thicker.

Kane’s light shirt clung faintly to his back from the heat.

Slovia’s almost-transparent robe had shifted with every movement, the silk growing more revealing as the evening deepened.

She set her cup down with deliberate care.

Then she stood.

Her hands went to the sash of the robe.

She loosened it slowly, watching his face the entire time.

The black silk parted.

She shrugged one shoulder, then the other, and let the robe slide down her arms. It pooled at her feet in a soft black heap.

She was unreal.

The body that had been only hinted at beneath fabric now stood fully bare in the firelight.

Her breasts were fuller and rounder than Thora’s, the mature weight of them settling with a soft natural sway as she straightened.

The nipples were dark red, already tightened by the cooler air of the study.

Below them, the curve of her stomach led to wide hips and the dark thatch between her thighs.

Long dark hair threaded with silver spilled down her back and over one shoulder, the ends brushing the upper curve of her ass.

She looked like power given flesh, nothing girlish, nothing apologetic.

Slovia looked at him.

"What now? Better than my daughter?"

"No."

The answer left Kane’s mouth fast, flat, and absolute.

Slovia’s mouth curved.

"Hmm."

She reached for the half-empty bottle on the sideboard.

Without breaking eye contact, she tipped it.

Dark red wine spilled across the upper slope of one breast, ran in a thin rivulet down the inner curve, and traced a shining path over the dark-red nipple before continuing lower across the plane of her stomach.

She poured more over the other breast, letting it coat the full heavy weight of it, the liquid catching the firelight as it slid between the valley of her cleavage and down.

She emptied what remained of the bottle in a slow, deliberate cascade that left her skin glistening from throat to navel, the wine dripping in thin streams along the insides of her thighs.

Kane watched every drop.

He knew what she was going to ask before she spoke.

The knowledge sat in his chest like a second heartbeat, Misha’s permission, the plan, the empires that still needed uniting, the careful line he was supposed to walk.

His cock had already begun to thicken against the light trousers, heavy and obvious.

He didn’t try to hide it.

Slovia set the empty bottle aside.

She stepped forward until she stood directly in front of the chair where he sat.

The height difference put her breasts level with his face.

Wine still ran in slow, shining paths over the dark-red nipples and down the soft undersides.

The scent of the bitter wine mixed with the warmer scent of her skin.

She looked down at him.

"Lick."

The single word landed like a command issued from a throne.

Kane didn’t move at once.

His hands rested on the arms of the chair.

The fire popped.

Somewhere in the keep, a distant bell marked the hour.

He could still stand up, walk out, return to the chamber where Misha waited. He could still claim that the night had only been talk and wine and a queen testing limits.

Instead he leaned forward.

The first contact was the flat of his tongue against the underside of her left breast, following a rivulet of wine upward. The taste was exactly as expected, bitter, metallic, cut by the salt of her skin.

Kane licked higher, slower, tracing the path the wine had taken until his tongue dragged across the dark-red nipple.

He closed his mouth around it and sucked, drawing the peak between his lips, tasting wine and woman together.

Slovia’s breath left her in a low, controlled exhale.

One of her hands settled in his red hair, not pushing, only resting there with the quiet authority of a woman who had decided the pace.

He gave the same attention to the other breast.

Long, thorough strokes of his tongue cleaned the wine from the heavy curve, then returned to the nipple, sucking with steady pressure until the dark-red flesh tightened further against his mouth.

The weight of her breast filled his hand when he finally lifted it, soft, substantial, the mature flesh spilling over his fingers as he held it in place so he could lick every remaining trace of wine from the underside and the valley between.

Slovia’s voice came from above him, calm and faintly amused.

"My daughter’s breasts are smaller. Firmer. Still new. These have ruled and outlasted every man who thought he could own them. Do you prefer the novelty, barbarian, or the thing that has already survived?"

Kane did not answer with words.

He dragged his tongue lower, following a thin stream of wine that had run down the center of her stomach.

The bitter taste mixed with the warmer, cleaner flavor of her skin. He licked across the soft plane of her belly, then lower still, until the wine trails led him to the dark thatch between her thighs. He did not hesitate.

His hands settled on her hips, steadying her as he leaned in and ran his tongue through the folds already slick with more than wine.

Slovia’s fingers tightened in his hair.

"There," she said.

"That’s the honesty I wanted. No more pretty restraint. Just a barbarian on his knees cleaning the wine off a queen because she told him to."
