Ileus: The Dark Prince

Chapter 607 - Toodle-do

Murtagh picked up Tasha. She clasped her legs around his waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck. By the time they reached the bedroom, Tasha was impaled on his shaft and moaning beneath him as he took her.

Tasha was a new recruit when Murtagh was arrested five years back. She was like other soldiers who were in charge of his security. Over the period of time, their affair developed. Whenever Murtagh wanted to speak to the king or queen or send his message across the royals, he would only demand Tasha to be his messenger. Slowly he started asking her to do small tasks for him and Tasha didn\'t know when she actually started doing big tasks for him. She had started spying Kaizan for him. Whenever Kaizan would come from his battles or from other duties back to Silver Vales, she would make sure that he met her. She also made sure that no other woman got to him. Sometimes her plans failed. Because of her information, Murtagh managed to keep the war between Whiteclaw pack and Silver Vales alive.

Tasha would go and relay his information regarding the war to others and they would take over. Things were going very fine when one day she informed that Kaizan was supposed to be married to Olivia. Murtagh tried to force Olivia into killing Kaizan and starting the war all over again, but he failed since Olivia didn\'t agree.

When they were lying side by side, she said, "Olivia and Kaizan are mates."

Murtagh whipped his head towards her. Shock flickered through him. "That\'s ridiculous! Mates are rare in the Lore."

Tasha got up. She tied her sandy brown hair in a messy bun. Her deep brown eyes traveled to his navel and she bent down to kiss it. "I saw his mark on her neck. So, they are not only mates, but they are mated too," she said lazily resting her head on his stomach after snatching her pipe from the bedside table.

"And what about the king and queen? How are they taking it?" he asked, tense from what she just said.

Tasha smoked and puffed smoke in the air. She gave the pipe to Murtagh. "I don\'t know about the king and queen, but Ileus and Anastasia are pretty happy about it. I heard that Ileus kicked out Olivia\'s cousin Bernice and her aunt Fuchsia from their mansion because Bernice drugged him and tried to take advantage." The news was only with the servants, but over the years, Tasha had formed a network that also included friends from Kaizan\'s staff.

Murtagh clenched his fists into tight balls. If this was the case, then he would never be able to convince Olivia to go against Kaizan.

"What do you propose to do?" she asked, taking the pipe from him and sucking it in deeply.

"Nothing much. Keep doing what you are already doing."

"Okay…" she drawled. After yet another session, they had dinner together and then Tasha left.

Kaizan woke up the next day. He found Olivia sprawled on the bed next to him. Her legs were on his stomach and she was lying ninety degrees to him. Her hands were thrown above her head and she was sleeping with complete abandon to the world. His head was throbbing hard, but he pulled her back to the pillow and then covered her with the blanket.

When Olivia got up, she shielded her eyes from the afternoon light that filtered through the window. "Ah!"

"My sleeping beauty wakes up," Kaizan\'s deep timbre voice brought a smile to her face.

"And why haven\'t you gone to the chancery?" she asked, opening her slowly and taking in her husband\'s face. He looked… clean shaven and dressed and handsome as fuck. He was wearing a white sleeved shirt that he had rolled up and black trousers. His hair was combed back and he smelled of fire wrapped in sin and masculine. She wanted to cuddle up to him and inhale his lovely scent.

"Because I got a message from the crown prince that I can take a week off for my honeymoon," he replied with a broad smile.

Her eyes flew wide open. "Reeeeaally?"

He nodded. She tossed her blanket away and jumped at him to hug him, little realizing that she was only wearing panties. Her breasts pressed into his and he groaned as he held her tightly in his arms. "Yes," he replied, inhaling her intoxicating smell. "However, I am in negotiation with him."

She pulled her head back and asked with a frown, "What negotiation?"

"That I need this off for a longer time."

"Yes, yes!" she squealed and snuggled with him.

He stroked her back tenderly, reveling in her embrace. "So, where would my wife like to go for her honeymoon?"

"How about the kingdom of Vilinski? I have heard it is beautiful!"

Suddenly shadows and smoke burst in the room and Ileus and Anastasia emerged.

Kaizan threw the blanket on his mate and covered her fully. "Fuck you Ileus. Why do you have to come at times like these?" he growled and got up.

Olivia climbed in his lap as she heated like a thousand shades of red and he tucked her close to him. Seriously, the crown prince was just too much. She looked at Anastasia who had narrowed her eyes as Ileus.

"I can\'t see anything," Ileus said as he grabbed a grape from the fruit tray. "Moreover, I have come to suggest places where you can go for your little toodle-do."

Anastasia was so angry that she shot him a dark glare. "Let us go back now. We will come later!"

"My little princess of hell, while I do agree with you, I don\'t have time to suggest them about the places. This was the only window I had and so I came. Consider this as a favor."

"And what are you so busy with?" she snapped.

"I am at your service this whole time, beauty."

"You chode!" she shot back. She grabbed his arm and in her fae language said, "Izadi zada gulpane!" Come back, dimwit.

He took a deep breath. "You look lovely and sexy in that brogue." He grabbed her by her neck. Then he turned his face to Kaizan and said, "I will be back in a few minutes." He crashed his lips on her and smoke and shadows burst around them and they disappeared.

"Wait for us in the

Olivia\'s eyes were wide. "Gods above!"

"You better get dressed," he said. "I am sure he also wants to tag along with me on my honeymoon! The bastard keeps thinking of new ways to be with his wife all alone."

She giggled. "And what better way than to be with his promised wolf?"

Kaizan shook his head. "True."

Olivia got out of his lap and even though Kaizan wanted to take her again, he was not sure when Ileus would come back again. Moreover, it was time for lunch and he knew that his mate was hungry. True to what he was thinking, Ileus had already made himself at home. He was eating lunch while Anastasia was flipping through magazines when they came downstairs.

"Aztec, Wilyra, caves in Northern Mountains or in Silver Vales, Draoidh or human realm," Ileus said loudly as soon as he saw Kaizan. "Where do you want to go?"

"Vilinski!" Olivia said with excitement and Ileus winced.
