I pull farther back and slide all the way back in. “So wet for me, my treasure,” I praise and start a slow rhythm. She meets me, her hips moving along with mine. Cupping her breast, I thumb her hard nipple and stare down at her. Memorizing every bit of her, the way her lips part, the way she closes her eyes when it’s too much. She angles her hips up, taking me deeply.
“That’s it.” I kiss her shoulder and graze my teeth along her skin. “You were made for me as I was made for you.”
Our bond flashes brighter, the strands braiding together and glowing golden.
She gasps, her eyes going wide. “What?—”
“I love you, Larellin. I’ve loved you in every life, every turning, every moment. And when I go to the eternal, I’ll love you then, too.”
The gold in her eyes shines brighter.
“Accept our bond, Larellin. Acceptme.” I kiss her. My heart laid bare, my life hers, my entire future in her hands.
She kisses me back, her hands tangling in my hair, her body open and hot and awash in golden light. “I am yours.” She doesn’t speak it. Shefeelsit.
Our bond flashes to life. Strong. Unbreakable.
The entire keep shakes, dust falling from the ceiling as a roaring cracking sound reverberates through every stone and timber. I don’t care about any of it. All I care about is the treasure beneath me.
“Come, my mate. Come for me. Only for me,” I growl as our bodies slap together, the sounds of sex echoing against the walls.
My cock is desperate for release. But that won’t happen. I won’t let it. I grit my teeth and focus on my mate. On her needs. On every single sliver ofherpleasure. “I know what my treasure needs.”
I reach between us and press my thumb on her clit. She bucks and gasps. I stroke her there, her body growing tighter and tighter, her hips rocking against my thumb and working my cock. I read every bit of her reaction, wanting to please her, desperate for every single bit of her delight.
“Eyes on me, my treasure. I want to see you come apart. I want to feel what you feel.”
“I hear you.” She gasps, her hips locking as her pleasure rises like an impossibly fast tide. “I feel—” Her moan is guttural, her hips locking as she arches.
“Fuck!” I can’t hold back. Her ecstasy floods down the bond between us. I’m at her mercy, wrapped in her pleasure. My cock kicks inside her, my release joining hers as a roar rips from me. Her cunt squeezes me in rhythm with her keening cries. I steal them, kissing her and swallowing her moans as I move inside her. More slowly now. Stroking her. Petting her. Easing her down from the high of our mating.
When I slow to a stop, I pull back and look down at her.
Dazed, she looks up at me. I run my thumb along her swollen lips. “You look well fucked, my mate.”
“I think … I think Iamwell fucked.” She smiles slyly.
“I’ll take that—” I kiss her lightly. “—as the highest compliment.”
“Of course you do.” She giggles against my lips. “Arrogant dragon.”
“Yourarrogant dragon.” I nuzzle against her neck.
“I always wanted a unicorn. Not a dragon.”
I growl. “Unicorns have filthy mouths.”
“Unicorns are real?” she asks, her eyebrows rising in shock.
“Of course.” I kiss along her jawline. “But if you see one, keep your distance. They’ll either tell you a bawdy joke or try to get a hornjob from you.”
“A horn?—”
“Did you feel that?” Faraday bellows and slams open the door to our room.
“Faraday!” I yell and yank the blanket up to cover Larellin. “Get out!”
“You felt it.” He ignores me as Rivon and Fyan pile in behind him. “Right?”
