A collective sigh escaped the populace.
Then his left, and murmurs arose.
I wrapped more chains around his neck, his waist, his legs until he was secured to the Throne.
I kneeled to give him fealty. I kissed his ankles, then caressed up his legs with my lips, feathering his inner thighs with fingers and tongue. I rubbed my cheeks against the muscles, enjoying the faint scratch of hair. He groaned, his cock again standing high. I buried my face in his crotch and breathed deeply, delighting in the aroma of aroused male. I licked his balls then stroked up the length of his rod with my tongue.
He groaned and I circled the round head, nipping and flicking.
“Please…”
“Please, what?”
“You’re torturing me.”
“Yes, and isn’t it nice?”
I stroked his tip with my tongue, licking just inside the tiny hole. He grunted, and his hips jerked. His rod pushed halfway into my mouth, and I took the invitation, sucking him into the depths of my throat. Swallowing, I allowed his glans to rub against the bony ridge of my palate.
A strangled cry rent the air as Storne came in my mouth, his sperm jetting in a thick stream. I sucked and swallowed, but still, his body wrenched and thrashed.
I looked up to see Storne’s muscular body, gleaming with sweat, straining against the chains. I stood and placed a hand on his chest. “Don’t resist,” I murmured.
His strained pants gradually calmed as he relaxed into the chains holding him to the Golden Throne. He blinked rapidly, seeming to come back into himself, and met my gaze.
“I understand,” he said quietly. He clutched the back of the Throne with his bound hands. “It—they—will never let me go.”
I nodded.
“And I will never let them go. I will never fail them, or you. Never.”
I smiled and released him. As each chain slid off his wrists, his ankles, from around his waist, the murmurs of the people rose to delighted shouts.
“Blessings on our king! Blessings on Storne! Blessings! Blessings!”
The Shadowlands had accepted my choice, and a knot of tension I had not realized I carried between my shoulders finally relaxed.
Only then did I set the King of Shadow’s crown on Storne’s head.
