He lifted his brows.
“Sorry. I'm sure that's impressive for a castle.”
Kas shrugged. “There are taller, but mine is wider.”
“More about girth than length, eh?”
He chuckled. “Are we still discussing castles?”
“No.” I went serious. “We're discussing what all that growling and snarling and running knights was about.”
“It's the mating, of course. I told you we had not completed it.”
“Uh, you didn't tell me that, and I thought we were already mated?”
“We are. But there is a period when the mating magic affects a Dragon. It begins at the first release of essence and can last several days, sometimes even weeks.”
“How does it affect you?”
“You saw how it affects me.” He waved at his erection. “I need a sexual release. The magic compels me to claim you with more of my essence.”
“More of it?” I lifted my brows. Then I remembered how it felt. And how it didn't feel. “That stuff just sinks in, doesn't it?”
“Yes. As I said.” He rolled his eyes. “It penetrates through flesh, bone, and blood until it reaches your essence and bonds to your soul.”
“My soul?” My jaw fell.
“Yes, your soul lives in your body.”
“I know where my soul is.” I grimaced. “And don't roll your eyes at me.”
Kas rolled his eyes again.
“I just told you not to do that!” I pointed at him.
“Can we move past this? I need you!” He motioned at his cock with the flat of his hand. “You don't know how much strength it takes to hold back.”
“Oh, for fuck's sake!” I went to him and got on my knees. A glance up made me grin. Kaspian's mouth hung open and his stare was hopeful. I nuzzled his cock. “Better?”
“You'd best not tease me, Mate,” Kas growled and grabbed a handful of my hair.
“And you'd best not yank my head onto your cock while I suck you off.” I pointed at him. Then I grabbed the base of his girthy (he valued girth) dick. “I don't like that shit.” I paused, then muttered, “Not right off the bat.”
“What do bats have to do with this?”
Instead of explaining, I sucked his weeping tip into my mouth. There was that flavor again. So delicious. Was this what Kaspian's soul tasted like? Holy shit, was I tasting a soul? I had to be. It was his essence. The essence of Kas. Like inThe Dark Crystal. Gelfling essence. Ugh. That wasn't a good visual. Recalibrating! Recalibrating!
It wasn't difficult to refocus on what I was doing. Not with that hard cock in my mouth. And Kas gripping my scalp. He moaned and jerked his hips forward. I choked and drew back. Or tried to. He kept a death-grip on my hair. As if my withdrawal triggered it, Kas went savage again. That hand flattened and his free hand went to my head so that he held me between his palms. Then he started face-fucking me.
I should have tried to stop him. I had specifically told him I wasn't into this. But I had added that caveat. And, more importantly, I was enjoying it. Thick flesh slammed in and out of my mouth, hitting the back of my throat while I tightened my lips around him. I gripped his base more firmly and pressed my free hand against Kaspian's pelvis. Then I shifted it to grab his hip. Pulled. Choked. Shuddered in pleasure. My cock exploded, shooting cum onto his foot. Kas cried out, churned his dick in my mouth, and followed me to heaven.
I groaned as the sweet stuff sent my tastebuds on an adventure. Then I swallowed. And savored some more. And swallowed. Finally, Kas jerked out of my mouth, gripped himself by the base, and came on my face. I closed my eyes and turned my head side-to-side, coating my skin in his essence. Take that, Olay, you animal-testing assholes! Kaspian's essence was way better at fighting fine lines and wrinkles. I grinned at the thought.
Then the flow stopped.
I opened my eyes to find Kas staring at me with a strange, bemused expression. “Feeling better now?”
“Yes,” he said. “ Now get on the bed.”
