you’ll be riding more than my wagon.”
    “There’s
no need to be crude.”
    Ian
chuckled. “It seems you’re barely able to handle one king. You come in here and
I won’t mind my manners. Especially not today.”
    I
rolled my eyes. “Then get some rest.”
    “You
just focus on taking care of Samuel and try not to slice him open until after
he’s helped me kill my brother.”
    “Then
you better pray to Ambi that Samuel doesn’t step out of place.” I headed off.
    Ian’s
laughter soared out of his wagon. “You’re his queen. I don’t need to pray to
any god. The queen rules the king’s mind and heart as well as his cock. You put him in line.”
    Could I?
    I
returned to my wagon. “Tote. We can go now.”
    “Okay,
queen.”
    Queen.
    I
gritted my teeth. I doubt I’ll get used
to that, either. Stepping onto the copper steps that arched out near the
wagon’s door, I opened the entrance and quickly climbed in, trying to not let
any sunlight in. A bell chimed behind me and then a long line of bells rang out
in unison.
    This must be the human drivers’
method of communication.
    Inside,
dimly lit darkness mingled with Samuel’s luscious tenna scent. A small candle
glowed within a glass lamp that hung from the ceiling. He lay on a small
makeshift bed that took up the entire area. It was a mattress covered in
rainbow blankets. They didn’t look like the ones from his bed. His eyes were
closed.
    Shadows
flickered back and forth on Samuel’s bare chest as it rose and fell. Cords of
muscle encased his waist. He wore nothing. A sheet draped over one leg and
concealed the lush area below his belly button. Still, I could make out his
erection underneath the material as it bulged and tilted upward.
    “Do
you have room to sleep?” He kept his eyes closed. “I can scoot over farther for
you.”
    “I’ll
have enough space.” I crawled onto the other side of the bed and kicked off my
leather sandals. The floor rocked a little and then vibrated as we began our
journey. The noise of wagon wheels cracking over the dirt road as the horses
sped off lifted high in the air. I was sure the few vampires still awake in the
area wondered where we were going and what would become of Capitol City.
    Samuel
put his back to me. “If you need blankets, there are several folded near the
end of the bed.”
    “I
see.” I untied my robe, took it off, revealing a bra, panties, and a dagger
that rested in a leather strap tied around my right thigh. I’d been thinking
about the statement Ian said, that a queen ruled her king. I was willing to put
that theory to the test. Anything seemed better than sitting in the wagon all
day shivering in fear and scared that he’d try to hurt me.
    Can I control him?
    “There
are rainbows on those blankets.” I folded my robe and placed it behind me. “Are
these from your bedroom?”
    “No.
Octavia bought them for everybody. She’s fascinated with them.”
    “You
are, too.”
    “When
we were young, Leeta would read me books about rainbows and show me pictures of
them. She sent the same books to Octavia.”
    “Are
you ever going to forgive Leeta for helping your mother?”
    “No,”
he growled.
    “You
should.” I lay down on my side and gazed at the shadows on his back. “I forgive
you.”
    I think.
    He
drew in breath.
    “You
shouldn’t forgive me so easily, Brie.”
    “Am
I not your queen?”
    He
sighed. “Good night, Brie.”
    “No.”
I traced my fingers down his back. “You should feed.”
    He
stiffened. “I fed when I left you earlier. I’ve drunk enough blood to satisfy
any starved vampire.”
    “But
is it enough for a king?”
    He
snarled, but said no more.
    “Did
you drink from one of the other dominas?” Jealousy unfurled inside my core. I
dragged my nails across his skin. He trembled.
    “No.
I drank some bottles of blood that I kept in a cooler. What are you doing,
Brie?”
    I have no idea.
    “Ian
said that I could put you in line because I’m your queen.” I
