Hers to Command (Verdantia, #1) QUOTES

1 " Madam, you can’t be more desperate than I.” He wound his arms around her and grunted. “The evidence is drooling on your stomach. I have not lost this erection for five days. Doral looks at me and winces. You have obliterated my dignity in front of my staff. I have become a laughingstock, a by-word for ‘pussy-whipped male’. Every time I walk into a room, the conversation dies. I entered the mess hall, yesterday—530 officers and enlisted men. Silence, Fleur. Dead silence.” She sniffed. By the gods, this must be a unique experience for him. I’m certain he has never been the butt of the joke before. “I don’t think you appreciate the torture and humiliation you inflict. Do you know how uncomfortable it is to ride a horse when I’m like this? Do you know how disconcerting it is to discuss cavalry deployment with Major Truillo while I’m sporting a cockstand to rival a stud horse? I couldn't get the man to look me in the face. Worse, he thought I reacted to him.” She nuzzled her face into Ari’s chest and tried to contain her amusement. Her imagination supplied the picture of the very handsome, very homosexual, very short Major Truillo standing with covetous eyes riveted to Ari’s substantial erection, all the while discussing the dry topic of cavalry placement. “For half an hour all I saw was the top of his head.” He paused for a moment then threw out, “He has a bald spot. "

2 " Fleur to Doral:
"My love for you and Ari cannot be measured in words. It can only be measured by what I will do for you. Absolutely anything. By what I want for you. Absolutely everything. I would move Verdantia from her orbit to defend you from all that would hurt you." She rose and crossed to him, sliding into his lap and snuggling into his broad chest. She hugged him fiercely.

"You are mine, Doral, every bit as much as Ari. Those who hurt you do so at their peril. "

3 " Ari to Fleur:
"I made plans for your glorious self."
"Do they require nudity?"
"Extensive. Prolonged."
Fleur's smile was so wide he thought her jaw must hurt. "

4 " I told Ari you were too courtly.” He snorted. Stopping his self-pleasure to finish unbuttoning his breeches, Doral raised an inquiring eyebrow. “And what did our conte say?” Doral toed his boots off, then his socks. “That you were reserved, but totally male. He told me to be aggressive, that you would take it from there. Goddess, did you ever!” She dropped her eyes and watched her hand trace the brocade patterns on the bedspread. “Doral, I think you are amazingly attractive and you are charming company—when I can get you to talk. It is hard for me to, well…” “Make the first move,” he finished for her, shimmying out of his tight breeches and discarding them. He stood before her, nude. “Exactly! Make the first…” She looked up. She felt her eyes grow enormous as they devoured the male glory that was Doral. Undoubtedly, a nude Visconte DeLorion was glorious. Her eyes dwelled there. She couldn't help it. The head of his huge cock was pierced and huge and pierced and—Goddess. She swallowed convulsively. "

5 " Touch me as little as possible.” Carnal tension constricted Doral’s voice. “I am on the very edge. Fleur's tight pussy, your hands. It is an erotic dream for me and I can’t come.” He snorted softly and choked out, “Oh yes, our planet hangs in the balance.” With a tortured inhalation, he shuddered, “No pressure. "

6 " What you are holding in your hand is the status of our shield walls and a brief explanation to Ardain as to how they got that way. Feel free to read it. This is vital information. There are those who will definitely try to suppress it. So, stay alert.” Ari smiled slightly. “The queen enjoys your company on her morning rides. I would hate to explain to her why I got her favorite riding companion killed if you don’t come back.” Tevon’s mouth quirked up. “No, that is certainly to be avoided. No disrespect intended, High Lord, but life gets uncomfortable for you when she is displeased. I would not want to be the cause of that.” Ari sighed and looked at Doral. “I am never going escape that infamous week, am I?” “She made quite an impression on the men. You could have all of them shot. That would slow down the gossip.” Doral shrugged, seemingly indifferent. “You would lose quite a number of highly skilled commanders and staff. "
