“Dragon shifter,” I grunted, fucking into him harder, unable to resist the warm pleasure his body offered me.
“That doesn’t—,” he groaned, “—answer my question.”
I really didn’t have the focus to explain how dragon shifters could get hard and stay hard whenever we wanted to. I would simplyshow my mate by wringing out his orgasms one after the other, proving just how good of a mate I was.
“Fuck, Nym!” his nails were digging into my waist, sort of marking me while I continued to claim him. I loved being marked by my treasure. I reveled in it. Needed more.
“Bite me,” I demanded with a rasp, then turned my head, offering my unmarked neck to him.
Harpy didn’t hesitate, he bit down, claiming me back as his with a low growl as he bit down, like he was enjoying this as much as I was. The pain mixed with the pleasure of his delicious hole was enough to ignite me yet again, roaring my pleasure for all to hear as I came inside my mate again.
Not allowing myself to rest yet, I snaked my hand down and tugged on his dick. Enjoying the silky feel of it in my hand, I slow fucked him while stroking his dick, needing my beautiful mate to come too.
“Gods,” he groaned, closing his eyes and resting his head fully on the grass under us.
“Mine,” I rasped, staring intently at his face as his expression turned into pleasure. He was so damn beautiful, my treasure. I would guard him with my life forever.
The sun was setting in the distance, but not even the beautiful colors in the sky could compete with my mate as he lay sated and happy in my arms. The air was getting colder, and I enjoyed the slight sting in the air, my body so overheated after the numerous times I’d claimed my mate. Poor Harpy fell asleep shortly after the last round and I was pleased it had been with a sated smile on his lips. I should’ve napped too, but I felt this moment should be cherished, so I remained awake and watched my mate as he slept soundly. Safe in my arms.
Harpy shivered, the cold now too much for him as the sun had all but disappeared, ready to shine on other parts of our world. I held Harpy closer, shielding him from the cold as best as I could.It was selfish of me, but I wanted to stay here forever. Once Harpy woke up, I feared he would resent me for shifting. It had been his one condition, and I’d failed to show my mate that I could be trusted.
A cute sound escaped Harpy’s lips before his eyelashes fluttered open. His brown eyes instantly found mine, his smile brightening with relief.
“How are you feeling?” I asked, holding him tight against me, the grass no longer soft but rather hard underneath our naked bodies.
He pecked a gentle kiss to my lips, warming my heart and body with tenderness. “I feel perfect,” he whispered, his breath ghosting softly over my lips.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered, unable to bear the guilt any longer.
Harpy blinked, then his brow furrowed with confusion. “For what?”
Averting my gaze, I replied, “For shifting and claiming you. I promised to respect your wishes, and I failed you.” I knew better, my instincts were loud, but if I calmed my dragon side in advance it was easier to hold on to control. Harpy being hurt had just been such a surprise I couldn’t have prepared for in time.
Harpy gave me a fond smile. “I knew what would happen once I got closer. And… I was ready for you to claim me.”
“Really?”
He nodded. “I might’ve been a tad nervous to tell you, so Hans did us a favor, forcing the claim to happen sooner.” He was blushing adorably and wouldn’t meet my eyes. It made me smile wide knowing he wanted me to claim him. That knowledge was enough to make the moment even sweeter. But still…
“Fuck Hans,” I grumbled, tightening my grip on my lovely mate.
Harpy laughed. “Yeah, you’re right. Fuck him.”
“Hey!” Damon’s voice was shouted from a distance, but I still rolled us over so I was on top of Harpy, protecting him from view. As soon as Harpy was underneath me, he shifted into his cat form, likely spooked into shifting.
“What?!” I yelled back, agitated at being so rudely interrupted.
“Willa was worried and asked me to check up on you!” Damon yelled. “She told me this is the longest a claiming has ever lasted!”
I smirked at that.Damn right it was.
Harpy purred underneath me, his own pride in us obvious.
“We’ll be down in a minute!” I yelled back.
“Kay!” Damon shouted from wherever he was.
“You can shift back now,” I smiled, loving how cute Harpy was in his shifted form. I sat back, no longer caging him in protectively against the ground, thinking he would enjoy more space to shift back. Instead he snuggled into my naked lap, purring up a storm as I gently caressed his soft white fur.
