great lover, and had secretly had her eye upon him ever since they had entered the banquet hall.
    "Why the little faerie vixen," Kaliq chuckled, picking up on Cadi's thoughts.
    "Do not!" Lara scolded him. "Let them enjoy each other, and allow Lothair to think it is he who conquers her."
    He ran a finger down her slender arm. "Do I conquer you, my love?" he asked.
    "From the first moment you kissed me, Kaliq," Lara answered him honestly. "Mayhap even before. How I hated it when you sent me from Shunnar. But in hindsight I understand. There is so much more than just you and me."
    "Aye, there is, but now is not the time to discuss it," Kaliq told her.
    "When?" she queried him.
    "In the days to come when you are rested, and your strength has returned," he promised her. "Now, however, I want to kiss you." And his dark head dipped to find her eager mouth. The touch of her petal-soft lips on his caused his head to spin with delight. They had been lovers on and off for well over a century, and yet he had never grown bored with his faerie woman. Each time was like the first time he had kissed her as they stood in the wide marble corridor of his palace, and she had told him of herself, and of Og, the giant who accompanied her. He had fallen in love with her at that moment. And he had never stopped loving her. Now he must divert his jealousy in order that she receive the diverse passions she needed from his brothers. His kiss deepened.
    She felt him blocking his thoughts from her. At any other time it would have disturbed Lara, but she suspected she knew why he did it. He was one of the most powerful beings in the Cosmos, and yet he was capable of feeling invidiousness. Unlike mortals, however, the great Shadow Prince could put such emotions aside, and not act on his feelings. Make love to me, Kaliq, she said in the silent language.
    Did you not tell Lothair that passion denied was sweeter? he teased her.
    For Lothair perhaps, my love, but not for you and me, Lara replied. Is it possible for either of us ever to get enough of the other?
    "No," he murmured in her ear, and licked it. Then he forged a trail of kisses down her jaw, her neck and across her shoulder.
    Lara drew his head to her breasts.
    He groaned as he buried his face between the round twin orbs. He licked at her nipples one by one. Then Kaliq suckled upon them while a single finger ran up and down her slit until she was squirming. The touch of her hand communicated her needs to him.
    Tell me your desires, my beautiful faerie lover, Kaliq said to her.
    I need your tongue to love me, Lara told him.
    The warm fleshy organ began to lick her belly with long, slow strokes. She sighed. He moved lower and lower until his tongue replaced the finger that had been teasing at her slit. He moved himself between her open legs, and opened her to his view. The dainty nub of flesh called her jewel was simply perfect. He was almost mesmerized as he stared at it so neatly placed between the deep pink walls of flesh now becoming wet and shiny with her need.
    And then Lara felt another Shadow Prince straddling the couch behind her, and reaching around to cup her breasts in his hands. Leaning her head back, she saw Prince Nasim's smiling face, and she smiled back. His hands skillfully played with her nipples sending shivers of pure lust through her. Kaliq's mouth was on her jewel, licking gently at first, then sucking and sucking on her until between the two men her desire was beginning to blaze high.
    Kaliq pulled himself up, his lover's rod visible to her half-closed eyes. He was hard, and the lust on his face was potent. Two other princes were suddenly there, each taking one of her legs to draw them back over her shoulders so Kaliq might delve deeply. Memories of the first time they had shared pleasures at a banquet assailed her as he drove himself deep into her sheath.
    "Oh yes!" Lara breathed aloud. "Yes!" she encouraged him.
    He rode her long, and hard, and when he had filled her with his
