inside her panties to cup her pussy. She was so wet, her fingers were instantly soaked. If she couldn’t have Sven inside her, she’d have to do the best she could.
Sven cursed as he headed down the stairs to the waiting vehicle. Why had he turned her down? She’d been willing to take him into her bed and by Thor, he’d wanted to be there. What had stopped him?
He stared at the glass door in front of him as if the force of his frustration might smash it open it for him. He’d needed her to acknowledge that she wanted him and him 24

alone. Once she was in his bed, she was his forever. That possessive instinct had almost overwhelmed him and he hadn’t expected it. The queen had suggested he date an Earth woman not instantly decide to make her his mate. Perhaps the queen was right and he had done without sex for too long. Was Thea really so special to him or was he merely overreacting?
Constantly seeing the king making love with the queen had reawakened his old instincts to find and possess a woman of his own. Being allowed to touch and not have the queen had become difficult for him recently. He sensed that both the king and queen noticed it and were unsure how to deal with him. His smoothed a hand over his swollen cock. What he needed was a long cold shower and some privacy to relieve the ache in his balls.
“Mr. Magnusson?”
The driver was standing on the step below him holding a pair of blue gloves.
“I think Ms. Cooper left these in the car.”
Blindly, Sven held out his hand and the driver dropped the leather gloves in his palm. He stared at them for a long moment.
The driver cleared his throat. “I’ll wait if you want to take them up to her, sir.”
Sven smiled at the man. “Thanks, I’ll do that.”
He slowly retraced his steps to the door of Thea’s apartment. All was quiet. He leaned his forehead against the door and prayed to the gods. This was probably not a good idea. She was bound to be mad at him.
He knocked quietly; half-hoping she wouldn’t answer. “Thea?”
To his amazement the door opened an inch. He held out the gloves.
“You left these in the vehicle.”
“Oh.” She sounded out of breath. He waited as she stuck her hand through the narrow gap. “Thank you.”
He inhaled the sharp scent of her arousal and before he could think further he grabbed her wrist and brought her fingers to his lips. With a groan he carefully sucked each finger into his mouth and tasted her cream. His cock throbbed and hardened with each subtle taste of her desire.
“I have denied you release. I have denied you your woman’s pleasure.” He pushed at the door and it opened easily. Thea sat on the floor. His heated gaze fell to her pants which were unzipped and he groaned.
“Oh damn, you weren’t supposed to see that.” Thea’s fingers fumbled with her zipper but Sven caught her other hand.
“I was right, anchovies do taste like a woman.”
Before she could speak, he had her on her back, shoving down her already open pants. His large hand pressed over her silk-covered pussy and her thick cream soaked through her panties and pooled in his palm. He struggled to breathe.

“Let me do this for you. Let me give you pleasure.”
Thea closed her eyes as Sven adjusted his hand and stroked her clit, his movements restricted by her silk panties. She looked down and saw how intently he gazed at her.
With a sigh, she relaxed her legs as far as her pants would let her. He gave an approving murmur and drew the blue fabric down to her knees to give him more access to her wet panties and pussy.
“You are beautiful, my lady. I am honored that your body welcomes my touch.”
His gently rubbing fingers made her want to lift her hips and ask for more. She arched her back trying to get him to slide his fingers deep inside her. With a growl he obliged, filling her with two thick fingers. Her pussy clenched hard around him and he groaned.
“Your channel is tight and
