As my senses begin to cloud over, my mind becoming hazy with pleasure, Thaldiran pulls away, his eyes blazing with hunger. His fingers curl around the fabric of my shirt, pulling it up over my head, exposing the curve of my breasts. Thaldiran dips his head, his lips trailing a hot path along my skin, and his tongue swirls around my nipples. My hips buck at the sensation, and I can’t stop the moan from escaping.
I quickly unfasten my pants and frantically kick them away.
Eyes filled with lust, his hands slide up my thighs, nudging them apart, the rough material of his pants between my legs. My blood is on fire, my head spinning from the intense sensations, but I manage to fumble with his belt and shove his pants down, freeing his cock before I go for his shirt.
He’s hard and throbbing. I can’t wait any longer. With a gasp, I grab him, wrapping my fingers around his shaft. Then I guide him to my core, his head teasing the slick folds as our gazes lock.
He thrusts into me, and my mind goes blank. All I can do is feel.
The sensation of him inside me, filling me, is intense. My back arches off the bed as my fingers dig into his shoulders. He’s relentless, thrusting deeper and harder, the sound of his breath quickening, his heartbeat matching mine, filling the air. As we move together, the friction builds, the pressure coiling low in my belly.
“You’re so beautiful,” he murmurs, his gaze raking over my body. “So beautiful.”
His words are a drug, the promise of ecstasy coursing through my veins. My legs wrap around his waist, urging him deeper. The heat of his breath on my neck, his hands cupping my breasts, sends shivers down my spine.
I can’t form a coherent sentence, the heat and desire overwhelming me. Every muscle is tensed, the pleasure almost too much to bear. I’m on the edge, then he buries himself deep in my core; the world explodes in a burst of light. I scream out in pleasure, and just when I think I can’t take it anymore, he reaches between my legs and rubs my clit, driving me over the top again, fresh waves of ecstasy washing over me. The feeling of his cock throbbing inside me is almost unbearable.
My entire body is buzzing. I feel like I’m floating on a cloud. There’s no more fear or doubt, only this feeling of peace and completeness.
My legs grip tighter around his waist, drawing him into my soaking-wet depths.
Thaldiran growls, his arms gripping me tighter. His movements turn frantic, his breath coming faster. Suddenly he releases with a loud groan. The sound sends me over the edgeagain, his throbbing cock and my throbbing pussy milking each other; the feeling is almost too much to bear. When we finally come down, our bodies relaxing, our breathing heavy, all I can do is grin and bite my lip. Thaldiran chuckles, leaning down to press his forehead against mine.
“That was...” I begin, reaching for the right word.
“Mind blowing,” he finishes, his eyes crinkling as he smiles.
“Well, yes,” I reply, “but also...” I reach out, my fingers dancing across his bare chest. “Intense.”
“Very,” he agrees, his hand traveling up my leg. “It’s hard to find the right word.”
“Right,” I murmur, letting out a shaky breath.
He leans in, his lips brushing my ear, and his warm breath sends a shiver down my spine. “How about ‘incredible?’”
“Yes,” I breathe, unable to contain a smile. “Incredible works.”
When he rolls to the side and curls up beside me, draping his leg over my torso, his hand resting on my hip, a warm feeling bubbles in my chest. He looks so peaceful, so happy. It’s strange. This man, who was once an enemy, a rival, now looks as comfortable and at ease as if we had known each other our entire lives.
I feel the same, a strange sense of belonging that’s entirely new to me. But it’s not just the physical intimacy that has created this sense of closeness, although the passion between us is a wildfire that leaves me gasping for air.
It’s something deeper, a connection forged through trials and adversity, the kind that can’t be broken.
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but this moment is filled with an emotion that transcends mere lust or physical attraction. It’s a strange feeling, this warmth that settles into my bones, making me feel like I’m floating on air.
And as I lay here, basking in the afterglow, an unfamiliar sense of calm and contentment washes over me. It’s an odd, but notunpleasant, feeling. I can’t help but wonder what this means. But then I remember my guardian’s words, and something clicks into place.
Thaldiran is my destiny.
Chapter Ten
Thaldiran
As the first light of dawn filters through the sheer curtains, I find myself watching Astryl sleep, her face peaceful and unguarded. The weight of responsibility presses heavily on me, a constant reminder of the duties I must uphold as a fae prince. My gaze lingers on her, conflicted feelings swirling inside me like a storm, given the ancient hostility between fae and dragon shifters, a divide that makes our budding relationship feel like walking on thin ice.
I know I can’t keep hiding the truth from her, can’t continue to shield her from the depths of my secrets and the extent of my powers. If we are to have any chance at a future together, she deserves to know the truth, no matter how dangerous ordaunting it may be, even if it means confronting the prejudices our kind have harbored against each other for centuries.
With a sigh, I let my fingers brush against her cheek, tracing the curve of her jawline with a tenderness I didn’t know I possessed. She stirs beneath my touch, her eyelids fluttering open to reveal those mesmerizing eyes that hold me captive.
