Cherreads

Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: The Taming of the Secondborn

Lunaria's breath came in ragged gasps as she stared up at Aiko's outstretched hand. Her pride screamed at her to slap it away, to spit venom and disappear into the void she came from—but her body?

It betrayed her.

Her thighs trembled. Her chest rose and fell, nipples hard, skin flushed. The aftershock of Aiko's power still rippled through her, each wave of surrender echoing like a lover's sigh.

She took the hand.

And fell to her knees.

The forest around them was silent, save for the crackle of magic and the slow, sensual rhythm of dominance unfolding.

Kael raised an eyebrow, still shirtless, blood drying on his skin. "You're really going to bring her into our—"

"She's mine," Aiko said.

Not "I'll kill her."

Not "I'll redeem her."

Just… mine.

Lunaria looked up, defiant even on her knees. "You think this makes you better? Stronger?"

"I don't think," Aiko purred, running a finger down Lunaria's cheek. "I know."

She cupped the corrupted heroine's jaw.

Lunaria leaned into the touch.

"I should bite you," she hissed.

"You should beg me," Aiko corrected.

And Lunaria did.

The first whisper came out like poison she couldn't help but drink. "Please…"

Aiko's grin was slow and dangerous. "Good girl."

They moved to the sanctuary Kael had claimed as temporary shelter—an old temple ruin now charged with a darker kind of worship. Vorik guarded the perimeter while Kael watched from the shadows, silent, tense… aroused.

Aiko sat on the makeshift throne—a cracked stone chair wrapped in vines—and Lunaria crawled to her on hands and knees.

Her silver hair dragged through dirt and dew, her perfect curves twitching with unspoken need.

She reached Aiko's feet.

Paused.

And kissed them.

Aiko gasped.

Lunaria's lips against her arch sent shivers up her spine.

"Why does this feel…" Lunaria whispered, voice trembling, "so right?"

"Because you've never truly surrendered," Aiko said, lifting her chin with a toe. "And no one ever made you want to."

Aiko tugged Lunaria onto her lap.

Flesh met flesh.

Lips crashed.

Tongues danced.

Hands roamed—Aiko gripping Lunaria's waist, Lunaria moaning into Aiko's mouth.

She tasted like lavender and danger.

Aiko sucked her bottom lip until she whimpered.

Kael shifted in the dark, his jaw clenched, watching Aiko devour the woman who had once broken him with a word.

And now?

Now she was melting under Aiko's touch.

Lunaria's thighs trembled against Aiko's. Her breaths turned into sobs of pleasure as the Breedbound Queen explored her with slow, calculated cruelty—every flick of her fingers, every bite of her teeth a lesson in domination.

"You were made to lead men," Aiko whispered against her ear, "but you were born to kneel for me."

Lunaria came undone.

Screaming.

Crying.

Begging.

The stone throne shook with the force of her climax.

When it was over, Aiko cradled her like a broken doll.

Kael approached.

"She'll be trouble."

Aiko nodded, brushing silver hair from Lunaria's damp forehead. "She already is."

"Then why let her stay?"

"Because no one ever showed her love without chains."

Kael stared.

Aiko's golden eyes glowed in the moonlight.

"I'm not just here to survive, Kael. I'm going to rule this world."

He smiled.

Dark.

Aroused.

Proud.

"You're already halfway there."
