Shadow Seer [18+]

~ Twenty One ~

"You were in my room."

Stating the obvious was all Sanaa had the mental capacity to say in that moment. She forgot to be embarrassed, to even be angry that he had been in her room uninvited and could only focus on the fact he'd been in her room as she...

Sanaa's face flushed as she stared up at Amir and his eyes darkened.

"Leave. All of you. Now."

His command came out like a bite, and the soft muffle of slippered feet and harsh march of booted guards echoed around them. When the sun room was empty and they were alone, Sanaa continued staring up into his jade green eyes, her heart hammering behind her ribs.

"Answer me, Sanaa." Amir said, his voice quiet but firm. She'd almost forgotten his question but she shook her head. "No you won't answer or no you don't make yourself come thinking of me?"

"N-neither, both... I don't know!" Sanaa panicked. All bravado gone as she was faced with something more solid than her fantasies. She didn't know how to feel with Amir acting like this. His actions in the tunnels had been dark, laced with rage but this was obvious desire. He wanted her and she wanted him. Sanaa was unquestionably turned on but had no experience with this kind of situation.

Amir took a predatory step forward, "I won't ask again."

"No," her reply was weak even to her own ears.

"Liar," he hissed. "I smelt you in the air as I passed through your room in the shadows. I breathed you in as your pussy soaked your sheets, my name on your tongue." Sanaa's face flushed. "You looked so beautiful," he murmured. Sanaa remembered the delicate brush against her cheek and knew he'd touched her.

" I wanted to taste you. I always want to taste you." The confession ripped from him as though it pained him. Sanaa shook. Her hands, her knees; everywhere she shook with the fear of wanting to give in to this, to hold him, to kiss him.

Amir placed his large hands onto her bare arms and Sanaa whimpered from that touch alone. He travelled his fingers delicately down her arms before interlocking their fingers for a brief moment before letting go of her trembling fingers as he stepped further into her body and took hold of her waist.

"You are so beautiful, Sanaa. The most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Sanaa couldn't breathe, her heart was beating too fast. This was too much, too soon, too everything!

"Your hips, your thighs, your breasts..." he trailed his hands delicately over each part as the words spilled sinfully from his lips. He finally looked up at her and a fire burned there, a fire for her. "Your hair, your eyes... your mouth." His eyes fell to her mouth then and the intent there could not be misconstrued.

"Why?" she breathed, terrified of the lightning coursing through her veins and the heat that gathered between her thighs. Why now? Why the change? Why her, even if his acting this way was everything she'd ever dreamed it would be.

"Because I can't focus when you're near. I can't be the soldier, the son, I need to be when my thoughts are filled with you." For a brief moment, there was guilt in his eyes, regret but she couldn't work out why. Amir shut his eyes as he lowered his head and pressed his forehead to hers, "Let me taste you... please. Just once..."

"Y—your f—father," Sanaa stammered. "My powers."

"Not that," he said, his eyes still closed as he wrestled mentally with his request. "As much as I want to bury myself inside you, we won't." Amir opened his eyes and lifted his head to place a soft kiss on her forehead. Sanaa melted, her own eyes drifting shut at the tenderness in his touch.
