“Goddess, Leena, you’re going to make me come before we’ve even begun.” He reached toward her breast, but she leaned back, just out of his reach.
“Watch. Don’t touch.” She brushed his hand away. “I read about this in a scroll.”
“Oh?” He grinned. Okay, if she wanted to play it that way, he’d be accommodating. He threaded his fingers behind his head and leaned against the pillow.
Leena stroked his cock again, but this time, she rose higher on her knees, her free hand feeling along her stomach to the apex of her thighs. A rush of sensation flowed through him when he saw her touch herself there, her finger circling before dipping inside.
He watched her, his heart pounding, his dragon’s need to claim intense. “Leena.”
Eyes locked on to his, she lowered her head and sucked him deep into her mouth. Pure ecstasy. He closed his eyes, the sharp edge of desire whipping his dragon into a frenzy. His mating trill rumbled out of his chest, loud enough he was afraid the servants outside the door could hear it.
“Leena, by the Mountain, let me in you. I need to be inside you. Please.”
“Your wish is my command, mymate.” She positioned him at her opening and came down hard, taking him at once inside her slick heat. He sat up, his wings flaring. His mating instinct drove him deeper into her, and he wrapped her in his embrace, claiming her mouth with his.
Her fingers teased along the base of his wings, stroking the webbing. The pleasure was equally exquisite and unbearable. He held her face in his hands.
“Colin…”
“Mine!”He thrust hard and deep.
She made a sound between a moan and a scream and tipped her head back, her mouth open, panting.
“Mine.”
“Yours,” she said. “I’m all yours.”
In his arms, she arched, breathless. He unleashed himself, thrusting into her in a wild frenzy until her body clenched around his cock, her inner muscles milking him. His own release followed hers, filling her, pumping into her.
It was a long time before he was able to come back into himself from whatever heaven they’d escaped to together. Still coupled, he nuzzled the side of her face. “I love you, Leena. Thank you for choosing me.”
“I didn’t.”
Confused, he pulled back to get a better look at her.
“I didn’t choose you. I chose me.” She took his face in her hands, her eyes filling with tears. “Once I’d experienced having a life of my own, I knew I’d never be content recording the lives of others. And I wanted you. I wanted you so much.”
“There’s more I want to show you. You have so much more living to do.”
She slid her nose along his before whispering in his ear. “Then show me.”
He flipped her onto her back, already growing hard for her again, and landed with his elbows on either side of her head. “First, there is this bed.”
She grinned up at him. “Haven’t I experienced this already?”
“Yes, once. But we’ve never tested how many times I can pleasure you in a row in it.”
“Oh,” she said breathlessly. “It’s a worthy question that needs an answer.”
He dropped his lips to her neck. “Then let’s find out.”
Chapter Thirty-Two
After a day and night of nothing but sleeping, making love, and enjoying the hospitality of the elves from the comfort of their suite of rooms, Raven and Gabriel were invited to dine with the high lord and Queen Penelope to discuss the future of Paragon. Raven’s bones still ached from her confrontation with Eleanor. All she could think about was how much magic and manpower it would take to rebuild the palace and repair the kingdom after Eleanor’s path of destruction. But being king and queen of Paragon meant taking political relationships seriously. So, she left Charlie with Avery and Xavier, dressed in the gown the palace staff provided, and arrived in Niall’s private dining room with a poise she had to dredge up from the deepest part of herself.
“I hope you know the kingdom of Rogos is supportive of your rule,” High Lord Niall said to Gabriel. “You were chosen by the goddess herself. We want to see you succeed.”
“I am relieved to hear that,” Gabriel said. “A strong and independent Rogos and Darnuith are important to us and the ongoing peace in Ouros. We consider you a valuable ally.” He smoothed the front of his tunic.
