shoulder. Next time you’re first.
I don’t mind being last. He flashed an impish grin. Then I get to take my time with you.
Her heart did a backflip as she stared into his soulful eyes. What did I ever do to deserve you?
I think the same thing every time I wake up to your smiling face. Taking her hand in his, he grazed his lips across her palm. Now you’re the Fae queen. I’m so proud of you.
She pressed her breasts into his chest, and they shared a tender kiss. His warmth wasn’t enough to drive away the chill from the water, and she couldn’t repress a shiver.
He rubbed her arms. How about we try out that big bed?
Yes!
Yes, please! Thelix said. And then you can strap us to that dragon bed and have your way with us.
Ladon arched a brow. Is that what you want?
She bit her bottom lip, thinking.
Of course it is, Thelix chided.
All right, she said.
They got out of the tub, and he dried her off with a fluffy towel, making her libido spring to life by generously rubbing between her legs. After he helped her into a thick robe, she insisted on drying him, too, taking extra care with his thick wand.
“Be a good girl,” Draque whispered into her ear. “Or not.” He laughed.
Draque and Teju left the bathroom and went to the bar.
She and Ladon climbed into the big bed and snuggled under the silky covers. They kissed, nipped, stroked, and squeezed until they were panting into each other’s mouths. He stroked her soft ribbon until it was plump and wet.
Forget the straps! Just fuck us already. Thelix begged.
Unable to withstand the torture a moment longer, she climbed on top of him and slid onto his thick shaft, riding him while he squeezed her heavy breasts.
Be careful, my beautiful queen. He smiled. This dragon spits fire.
I’m ready for it, she groaned, unable to slow her momentum while straining for release.
He reached his peak. His throbbing head triggered her own release. With a cry of ecstasy, she came, her slick heat clenching and throbbing, milking him. Sated and spent, she collapsed in his arms.
His cock still buried in her, he held her, brushing his lips across her forehead while tracing lazy circles across her back. That was amazing.
She sighed. It was. He didn’t answer and she was dismayed to find his eyes wet from unshed tears. Her heart ached from the despair in his eyes. Ladon, what’s wrong?
He brought her palm to his lips, tenderly kissing her. When that volcano exploded, I thought you died.
He could’ve driven a blade through her heart, and it would’ve had the same effect. Ladon was the most sensitive of her mates, but never before had she seen such haunting desperation in his eyes. But I didn’t.
Do you know how much I love you? He desperately searched her gaze, his voice shattering like broken glass. That I’d be broken without you? I’d be a dragon with clipped wings.
I feel the same about you.
I wanted to kill myself when I thought I’d lost you. With a quivering lip, he turned his gaze to the silk sheets beneath them. If not for our eggs, I would’ve flown headfirst into the volcano’s core.
Thelix gasped.
His admission was like a bucket of ice water splashing over her head. Oh, Ladon, please don’t say these things. Look at me. Rolling him over, she straddled him again, pressing on his shoulders. It’s over. I’m safe.
He ran his hands down her back. I don’t want to lose you again.
His thick cock still deep inside her, she did her best to focus while his head pressed against her sweet spot. You won’t, I promise. What can I do to chase away your bad thoughts?
Ride me again. He dug his fingers into her hips.
Bending over, she captured his lips in a kiss and ground against his pelvis, his thick cock filling her completely. He held her while she rocked against him, carrying them both to that pinnacle once more. They cried out in each other’s arms when the orgasms took them to the top of the world, then they fell back to earth together.
Wrapped up in a tangle of arms and legs, they held each other close. She tried not to think about her and Teju’s brush with death. They’d been through so much that she prayed they’d be able to heal their broken spirits. For now, she was exhausted and needed to rest and then they could work on healing their
