Most of our remaining days were simply filled with sex, intimacy, and more sex.
With my sisters, who now looked at him with adoration instead of arrogance.
With the female attendants who blushed and trembled whenever he smiled at them.
With Usagi and Silverøse and even Lily, whose golden-brown ears would flush crimson every time Benjamin squeezed them. As if she wasn't the leader of a district… Well, I'm not one to talk.
Sometimes we took him together; our bodies entwined in a warm, moaning pile of fur and silk and erotic cries.
However, I mostly seized him alone at night, locking the doors, and drawing the screens closed. Then riding him leisurely until dawn painted the room gold and we were both too spent to speak.
Every time I looked into Benjamin's blue eyes I felt these twin tides rise inside me: great joy to be alive that threatened to burst my ribs, and a great depression that threatened to drown me.
