Maisey Yates - Royal Sins - Bound to the Warrior King / Protecting the Desert Heir / Pursued by the Desert Prince

When he was naked before her, she pressed her palm against him again, her breath hissing through her teeth. He had no idea what expectation females might have of the male body. And he had never had a reason to cultivate modesty. So he found himself now standing before her, not nervous, but assessing.

A small sound escaped her lips that was akin to a whimper.

“Tell me your thoughts,” he commanded.

Perhaps this was not the best time to be talking, but he found that he needed to know what was on her mind. And he had no experience of reading people. Not like this.

“I’m impressed,” she said, her voice thick, husky. She traced the ridge of his erection with the tip of her finger, her eyes never leaving his. “You are most impressive.”

“Am I?”

She blinked. “Surely you know. I cannot be the only woman to praise your natural endowments.”

“You are.”

Her eyes widened. “Then, the other women you’ve been with have very bad manners.”

“I have never been with a woman before.” The admission broke past his lips and his best intentions to keep this a secret.

She jerked her hand back as though she’d been burned. “What?”

“I told you. I had taken a vow to cast off earthly pleasures. I had to keep my focus. I could not be allowed to be distracted, even for a moment.”

“Somehow I didn’t imagine you meant you had cast off everything.”

“Is it so unusual?”

Something in her expression softened. “In my experience, that would be the last thing a man chose to discard.”

“I can see that. My brother was consumed by his lusts. For power. For women. I thought it best not to taint myself with those needs.”

“And now?”

“My responsibilities have changed. They now include you.”
