"So do you." My vision blurs, and I hold him to me. It hurts, of course. He's too big, but I can take it. I can accept every inch of him. I want it--want him--want all of him. "Jianyu--"

"Shh." Slowly, so slowly, he rocks into me, giving me time to adjust. My slickness eases the way for him to set up a gentle rhythm, and before I know it, the stretch fades.

And I want more.

"Harder," I beg, and fuck, he gives it to me, all right.

Neither of us have any restraint left. I rake my nails over his back and shoulders, fold my ankles together behind his magnificent ass. He speeds the pace of his thrusts, and I rock forward into him, moving with his pace as he fucks me into the stone.

I'm hurtling toward orgasm again, the peak rushing at me with a sharpness that takes my breath away.

And then I have this flash. This horrible moment of remembering.

Storm fucked me just like this. His pants around his hips, his cock pulled out and buried inside me. I was draped across a table, and not a rock; we were hidden from view but in an undeniably public place.

Storm's father and brother walked in as I was mid-climax, his cock pulsing his seed deep inside me.

What would Jianyu do if somebody walked in on us right now?

I whine, and my distress must show. Jianyu slows, but he can't stop. Neither of us can.

"Ember--are you--"

"Keep going," I beg, tugging his mouth to mine.

We kiss hard, sharing the same air. I remind myself that everything is different now. Jianyu would never cast me aside. He'd defend me.

Always.

Painful as the memory of Storm may be, I force it out of my mind. I concentrate on Jianyu's scent, on his kiss. Concern still crinkles his brow, but I clench down around him, and he groans against my tongue.

Apparently reassured, he picks up his pace again. I remind myself that the way he's making love to me right now is a celebration of our connection. It's not a goodbye. His thrusts are hard and fast, but they're not punishing; I'm not punishing myself.

Before long, any passing resemblance to Storm fades away. Fully present with Jianyu, I cling to his strong shoulders. I bite down on his neck and taste his essence. It's utterly, completely, uniquely his.

Our feelings flow through the bond between and around us. It grows, almost glowing in the sparkling sunlight. He pounds into me faster and gazes deep into my eyes.

"Ember..."

The awe in his tone is the same as what I feel, looking at this miracle of a man. This strong dragon shifter who's learning to find strength in the act of letting me in.

This prince.

This king.

His mouth drops open, the pleasure sharp on his features.

"I--" he gasps.

"Come inside me," I plead, and his eyes slam shut.

He thrusts into me again and again, and then his cock kicks inside me. Hot seed pours into me, and it pushes me over the edge. I come screaming his name into the sky above, my entire body pulsing with the power of my climax. Throbbing around him, I milk him for every drop of his essence, pulling it into the deepest places within me. Wishing I could keep it there.

Wishing that this moment of connection we've built could last.
