Page 14 of Monsters of Air

It was hard not to be upset at that, he was acting unreasonable. When my chest felt like it was going to explode from being separated from Landers.

“That’s ridiculous!” I yelled, stomping across the floor to face him. “Don’t act like I need to be some pure mistress for the big bad dragon.”

“It’s better than you throwing yourself at dragons like a fucking whore.” His words were ice that bit across my cheek.

Did he slap me? He might as well have slapped me. It sure as hell felt as though I had been slapped.

“Are you serious right now?” I wasn’t even yelling anymore.

“Rayna…” Regret flooded his voice, but it was too little too late.

I shook my head, “I can’t believe you just called me a whore.”

“You know that isn’t what I meant.” Da blew out a breath, his hands clenching at air. He was furious. Well, so was I. “You can’t be with the dragons until you’re at the academy.”

“Doesn’t give you the right to yell at me like that. To go all Papa Bear protective. I’m not a little girl anymore. I’m an adult. I’m a fucking rider.” I can fuck who I like. Whore or not.

“If I didn’t do anything, he would have brought you into his room…” Da sputtered until his cheeks went red and quickly continued. “I’m not going to let you fuck up your future because of some dragons you don’t know. Get your ass to bed. We’re leaving in the morning.”

“This is bullshit, you know that right?”

“I don’t care. Get to bed.” He glared at me until I did as he said, crawling into the massive bed. Then he did the most ridiculous thing, taking one of the oversized sitting chairs and moving it to the door, sitting down in it.

“You can’t be serious.” This night just kept getting better.

“When it comes to your safety, I’m always serious.” I didn’t know if he was just serious, or paranoid, but I was too angry to think on it.

I huffed, showing him my back and glaring hard at the other wall.

Away from him.

Away from everything he was scared of.

I lay there, facing the wall, all of those fumes of fury growing into something else.

Da didn’t trust me, and judging by the way he glared at me and the dragons. He didn’t trust my kind.

My kind.

The words bit, but they were true. That was exactly what I was after all.

I wasn’t like him anymore.

But the dragons were.

Landers was.

I stared at the wall, wondering if Landers was on the other side with his smoldering eyes and warm skin. Skin that I wanted everywhere. Before I could stop it, my fury faded and my mind was flooded with fantasies. Of thoughts of his cock thrusting into me, of his hands against my body.

Of him… everywhere…

Once Da’s snores filled the room, I slid my hand between my legs, my fingers slipping on the wet there as I touched myself. As I made myself cum to the visions of Landers taking me, claiming me, dominating me.

I wanted him.

I didn’t care if that made me a whore.
