“What do you do when you need to be alone?” I asked Nym, knowing his dragon would need to claim Harpy regularly.
Nym smirked while Harpy blushed. “Well, we have a spot on the cliffside where we’re all secluded to take care of our needs.”
“Uh, we should find a place high up for us,” Casey exclaimed.
“No,” Nym said, voice firm. “I will not have anyone near our spot.”
“There’s like several spots we could pick out,” I argued.
Nym sighed, “Just go and fuck, my dragon can’t handle the thought of you ruining our claiming spot.”
“Touchy,” Myve whispered.
We took Nym’s warning to heart, mostly because he’d been nice enough to let us use his and Casey’s room for our fun. As we ate and laughed with the others, my need for Casey only grew. I’d wanted to take my time when we finally had penetrative sex for the first time, but I also had to admit I was getting impatient. Hyland ruining our moment in the bath and the librarian catching us meant we had sort of accepted that our time would have to wait. I’d thought about asking Nym to use his room, but that would be my last option. Now that he’d offered it, we would gladly take it, but it did make eating a chore, mostly because I kept thinking about how I would soon sink into my mate. I squirmed in my seat and got several knowing looks from the others.
“You know,” Casey said, sounding out of breath. “I’m really not that hungry.”
Nym snorted into his water.
“Me neither,” I declared, grabbing my mate’s arm and bolting from the dining hall, their laughter following us.
Chapter Thirteen
Nerves took over as Casey closed the door behind us. We were in his room and I realized this was the first time I’d been in here. I hated that Nym knew if my mate snored or not, but I had to trust the rules were put in place for a reason. No sharing rooms with mates and no sleepovers.
Their room mirrored the one I shared with Arthur, their beds just as big, their divided spaces exactly like my own as well. The window in the middle was the only difference. Their view faced the forest where mine faced the ocean. I was certain Casey preferred this view, his raven needing the trees. I would’ve preferred trees as well, but we couldn’t all get the same view.
“Hi,” Casey grinned, looking just as nervous as I felt, wringing his hands together in front of him.
“Hi,” I smiled, then regret and disappointment filled me. “I just realized we don’t have any oil. I should’ve gotten some from the healers.” I was actually kicking myself for forgetting about it.I wasn’t even sure if they had it, but surely an academy where everyone found their mates would have oil?
“I have some,” Casey announced, opening the trunk at the bottom of his bed. It held his clothes and some small stones, which made me smile. He was collecting them it seemed. It also held a vial of oil, which he handed over to me.
He gave me a longing once-over. “I need you naked.”
“Bossy,” I teased, removing my robe while he took off his robe and blouse.
He gave me an intense look. “You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this moment. Always fantasizing about your cock filling me, stretching me.” I swallowed, eyes wide. “How perfect you’ll fit inside of me,” he whispered, stepping closer and trailing a teasing finger across my collarbone. “How rough you’ll be when you claim me. How much I’ll love it.”
“Sweetheart,” I breathed, then kissed him. The room fell away, all there was left was Casey and me. He backed me over to his bed, our lips never parting. I fell back on his soft sheets, my half-naked mate admiring my body with evident hunger.
“I can’t believe you’re mine,” he whispered.
I couldn’t stand the distance between us any longer, so I grabbed him around his waist, kissing his chest and licking around his nipples. “Get naked, sweetheart, I need to sink my cock into you.”
“Fuuuck,” he moaned, then stepped back and tore his pants off, his underwear following shortly after.
I removed my blouse and pants, wiggling out of them while still on the bed. Casey took over and tugged my underwear off, groaning as my cock was freed, the tip flushed and leaking for him. He gave it one quick lick before standing again.
The oil was next to me on the bed, so I grabbed my lovely mate and pulled him down next to me, letting him rest on hisback as I pushed his legs back, enjoying the view of his hole on display for me. I would soon push into his tight heat.
“Gods,” I groaned. “You’re so damn sexy.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah,” I grinned, then licked around his groin, teasing him a little as my hands fumbled with the oil. Once my fingers were slick, I rubbed at his opening, softening him up for me and slowly slipping one finger inside. He felt so warm, so perfect.
“More,” he breathed, holding his legs back. “I can take two more.”
