“Shyness is not necessary, love. Everything I get to see now… I have dreamed of a thousand years before.” I didn’t know what to say or if this kind of man in front of me was even real to begin with. But then his lips touched mine, and it felt like the realest thing ever. Damien’s hands caressed my shoulders and then he gradually pulled off my dress, which left my upper body completely exposed to him. Before I could cover myself up, he gripped my hands and kissed them. “Relax, sweetheart. You should never feel shame with me.” I began to loosen up and then he kissed circles over my left breast with my hands still firmly gripped in his. Then he kissed our entwined hands before moving over to the other breast.
“You are breathtaking,” he said, causing my skin to heat. Damien lifted me up so I was on top of him on the bed, my dress still covering the lower side of my body. His fingers trailed down my stomach and then in seconds he had ripped the dress to shreds. Pity, since I’d really liked that dress.
Damien must have been reading my thoughts, or the words came out loud, as he murmured, “I’ll buy you new dresses, love. Very likely also in duplicates, because I can’t promise that I will always have the patience to undress you properly.” He gazed at me, his fingertips brushing from my cheek to my collarbone. He cupped my breast and pinched one of the nipples, causing a little bit of pain. A moan escaped my lips. Gripping my face, his lips captured mine with an intense hunger, like he needed to claimevery inch of me.
Then he trailed kisses down my stomach setting off wildfires all over my body. His eyes met mine for a second as he parted my legs, kissing the inner side of my thigh. The closer his mouth got to my heat, the less I breathed. My legs clenched together to comply with the pressure down there but Damien stopped me. “No, no sweetheart. Don’t move.” His fingers began to tease my outer lips, lightly rubbing circles in soft figure-eight around my clit, pulling soft moans from me.
He turned me around, my naked body laid out on the bed, trailing his fingers down to cup my pussy and causing a whimper to slip from my lips.
“You are a marvelous beauty. Your features are ethereal, more than any elven queen that has ever ruled. No one comes close to your grace.” And then he kissed me, soft and slow before moving his glorious naked body lower, to my heat. “Your whole being made to kneel for. My inner dragon knew from the first moment that you were made for me.”
That man was really making me blush like no other. I really thought that I would never be worthy of love—real love like in the books I read—and then I fell into the hedge of roses and received more unconditional love than I could ever imagine.
“Oh darling, don’t think about you like this. I’m pretty sure if the sky could dream, it would dream of you.” God this beautiful man did poetry like no other. Before I could think about it any further, he truly knelt on the floor and pulled my legs around his head, stroking his long slender fingers against my thighs. “I’ll be gentle, at first.”
Damien pressed the flat of his tongue on my swollen clit and nibbled at it while his hands pulled my thighs wide open. As soon as his lips began moving and sucking stronger, everything went taut within me, the pleasure too strong.
“You taste like sunshine collided with moonlight and createdthe most perfect ray of your essence.”
My eyes got watery as there was so much pressure, my body stood in literal flames. “I’m close, Damien,” I told him, moaning. Damien hovered over me, his hands quickly grabbed mine and then he kissed my lips again.
He took my legs and hooked them above his shoulders, leaving me in a very vulnerable position.
“Eyes to me,” he commanded.
He gave his cock a few strokes before he slowly entered me. The length of him stretched my insides, and I believed I’d explode, closing my eyes. Then I felt him taking my legs in his hands and widened them, thrusting even deeper inside me. I was close, so close to the edge and I just wanted to jump and drown in his essence. I clung around his neck, sniffing at his skin like I was some kind of pervert.
Was this the mating bond forming? Or was it because he was a sea-dragon?
My lips pressed against his soft skin as it had been their longing for too long.
I barely met him, barely met any of them and it was like I knew them forever.
Heat crawled up my chest, I opened my eyes. His gaze was locked to mine and I felt captive to his eyes, tohim.
“There are no words for me to express what I feel for you, my love. My soul has been searching you for decades, and finally after having you in my arms I can tell that my feelings for you are much stronger than obsession. I’m addicted to you, even if you wouldn’t have wanted me, I would have found a way to at least be near you.”
Why did he assume that there would have been a possibility of rejection?
“I love you so much,” I confessed, kissing the edge of his chin softly. Damien gripped my face, his gaze boring into mine beforehis lips crushed mine, as if he was trying to consume my soul.
It was as if he looked right through me and knew my body like we made love for the hundredth time. “We will make love much more than a hundred times,” he replied, his fingers possessively tracing patterns on my hip bone.
Wait, didhe just read my mind again?
He must have noticed the astonishment on my face and said “It is my ability to read people`s emotions, the sea dragon feeds on them like water. But because we are mates it is much stronger than normal. I can tell exactly what you’re thinking and how you feel.”
“Is it because we had sex?” I asked him, blushing.
Damien shook his head amused. “No, even when I saved you in the lakes of the sirens, I could sense your thoughts. But it is rare that mates are able to, before physical bonding. I guess it was because I was in my dragon form. I still remember that you asked me if I was your guardian…”
I looked at him, surprised that he still remembered the first words I said to him. His arms hooked around my waist before he whispered, “I am. I always have been. My whole life found its purpose when I met you.” Damien looked at me with so much love in his eyes, love I was not sure I was worthy of.
“You saved me, then. I think about it every day.”
“Me too, I still remember seeing a light resembling a bright flame around the lake. I thought it was a campfire at first. But it was you, Gwendolyn. I sensed you before I even recognized who you were. From that moment on my life found its purpose.You.” He kissed my lips slowly, his hands cupping my breasts.
God, how was I already ready for him? And I could not believe he was mine.
