32 Chapter 32. A Debt is Paid

Yuliah freed her arm from Ryas death grip. "You don't have to pull on my arm that hard. You can ask nicely, and I'll leave with you," she rubbed her arm. She could sense that he was angry about something.

He looked regretful his mouth opened like he were about to speak, "I'm..."

"Wait up!" Lucan yelled from behind them.

"Are we almost there?" Ryas asked Lucan.

"Oh yes, here we are," he pointed.

"Rhea... Would you and your brother join me tonight for our festival?" he asked.

Ryas stepped in front of Yuliah again, "We have to prepare for our trip back to Murai. We'll see about stopping by," he pushed Yuliah forward into the Inn.

Yes, he was angry, no jealous that's why he was so short with her. Why did he have to be so jealous it's not like she was even interested in Lucan. Who knows maybe he was just friendly although she doubted it.

"Bye, Rhea. Maybe I'll see you later," Lucan waved.

Yuliah reluctantly waved back at him but found herself stumbling forward.

"Watch your step," Ryas now pulled her into the Inn.

It was a bit dated but still charming, and she found the Inn quaint, but his sour mood seemed to rub off on her.

"One or two rooms?" A pudgy Inn Lady asked.

"Just one," Ryas answered.

Yuliah could hear the annoyance in his tone. "Are you sure you don't want two rooms?"

"Why? We've been sleeping together since day one."

Yuliah covered his mouth, "You don't have to announce it to everyone."

"Are you afraid Lucan will hear?" He turned back to the Inn Lady who handed Ryas the keys,

"Your room is on the second floor," she pointed to a staircase and proceeded to go over how the bathing system works at the inn.

His moods were always hot and cold, and it drove her mad trying to figure him out sometimes. Yuliah couldn't understand why he yelled at her in front of the Inn Lady it's not like she threw herself at Lucan.

Her brows creased together when she turned to look at Ryas, "Are you serious? You sound jealous?" She looked at him. "The Regent is just kind. He's nice to us both."

Sneering, "Us both? Don't play with me Yuliah."

Good Gods. Ryas blew things out of proportion. "Play with you?" Yuliah gave him an angry look.

"Yes don't pretend that you don't know why he's so nice to you," Ryas said. "You're a grown woman. You should know when a Man makes that many advances at you."

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?" Yuliah pushed at him. No, he wasn't going to be one of those Men she hated.

He leaned forward until his face touched hers, "Your husband. Remember I lifted the veil. "Forever. You do know what that means right?" He smirked.

Oh, so he used her customs when convenient to him against her. Yuliah shook her head at him.

Sighing loudly the Inn Lady interrupted, "Should I prepare a bath for your wife? Maybe that would help to calm things down a bit." She suggested.

"No! I mean yes, and I'm his sister!" Yuliah stormed away.

Ryas turned to the Inn Lady, "Yes. For us both."

"Alright." the Inn Lady answered and left.

Ryas caught up to Yuliah and strolled alongside her, "Stop embarrassing us," he teased.

Yuliah turned away from him.

Once they were inside the room, he snuck behind her and bear hugged her. She lifted into the air then landed gently onto her back against the bed.

"Stop it," she moved to get up, but he jumped on top of her and pinned her body beneath his.

"You owe me a debt," he kissed her neck then began to bit her softly.

She felt a warm tingling sensation rise from her belly and fought it.

"Are you angry with me?" his fingers started to unbutton her dress. "I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you that you look beautiful in this dress before I was rudely interrupted by that annoying Regent."

His smoldering eyes and sincerity quickly extinguished her anger," Yes. I am. Very," her breathing changed and her body relaxed.

"I'm only teasing you," he had her entire dress unbuttoned exposing her undergarment.

"I think something is upsetting you too," Yuliah looked him in the eyes.

"There is. I don't like the way the Regent looks at you," he slipped his hands under her garment and cupped her breasts. "I don't trust him."

Yuliah's mouth slightly opened as his hands caressed her breasts. Her body arched in towards him wanting more. "I don't either."

"Be careful around him. I know that look from Men, and it's never good," he covered her lips with his.

His taste sent her body into a frenzy as she began to pull at his shirt to undress him. "I'll be careful," she could hardly get out. "I only want you," she took his shirt off and then hooked her fingers around the waist of his pants.

Ryas stopped and met her eyes before he lifted her and removed her dress. "That's better," as he took her undergarments off.

The hissing of hot water as it trickled from a pipe on the side wall began to pour into the tub behind them.

He slid between her legs, "Breath," Ryas kissed her lips before making his way down her neck and then onto the soft peaks on her chest. He circled the pinks of her breasts with his tongue bitting them gently.

"Don't," Yuliah's breath was heavy now. The muscles in her back braced against the soft sheets. "If you're just going to tease me," she lifted his head. Her eyes glistened.

"Not today," he moved next to her side then slid his hands slowly down her belly. "Tell me what it is you yearn for," he whispered.

Yuliah lifted her head to his ear, "You," she answered.

Ryas slid his hands even further down until they were between her thighs. His fingers played with the heat between her legs until her face flushed red and she whimpered quietly into his ear. "Are you ready for me, my tigress?"

Panting between breaths she nodded.

Ryas leaned in to kiss her, "Say it, say yes," his fingers moved across her wet slit causing her to moan again.

"Yes," Yuliah gasped and felt his erection graze her thigh as he positioned himself and then eased inside of her. Filling her up.

Her fingers dug into his back as her heat stung. She gasped, her back arched, almost lifting him off her.

"Breath Yuliah," he reached for her hands and held them to the sides. "Slowly," he kissed then bit her bottom lip. "Relax. I'm not going to hurt you," his voice grew husky.

She took deep breaths as he gently moved in and then out of her. The sting and burning sensation between her thighs soon turned to small waves of pleasure that strummed across her body. "Ryas," she moaned her hands gripped onto his back tightly. "Harder..." she begged.

She could hear his breaths deepened with each thrust he delivered more powerful than the last. Yuliah's cries amplified as he gave her exactly what she wanted. She could not have imagined making love would feel this wonderful.

He changed positions and kneeled over her, then slipped his arms around her waist, and lifted her bottom onto his lap. He drove into her deeper and harder than before. More waves of pleasure washed over her as she cried out and his thrusts quickened as they both began to climax.

Quickly he lifted her whole body onto his lap cradling her against him. Yuliah tangled her legs around his waist as he pumped up faster into her. He twirled her long locks of hair around his fingers and tugged, jerking her head back slightly, and a moan escaped from her throat. The mixture of pain and pleasure began to push her over the edge.

A warmth rose from between her legs and spread upward raising bumps across her skin as she gasped loudly. Ryas stiffened as he emptied himself inside her. She shivered in his arms. Then he laid her down on the bed and immediately Yuliah closed her eyes.
