“Mmm,” Caspian moaned into the kiss.“More kisses,”I heard through our bond.

“All the kisses,”I replied in the same manner.

Caspian flinched, his tongue stilling before he groaned. Once he did, he pushed his tongue against mine and fisted his fingersin my hair. His lower body lifted, and then I felt it through our bond: a new surge of sexual desire had hit him.

I wasn’t sure what all was feasible with my knot still very much present, but I was willing to do whatever I could to give him as much pleasure as possible.

Caspian continued to moan while I basically wiggled around, rolling my hips over and over. I was doing no more than that, but that was all it seemed he needed. I could feel his pleasure building until it became too much for him. When it did, he pulled his mouth from mine and shouted my name as his body squeezed me over and over. I moaned when that caused my own orgasm. Or perhaps it just intensified my first. Either way, I had a feeling we were going to be stuck together for quite some time.

When Caspian’s body finally relaxed, he sighed. “That was…by far the best I’ve ever had.”

I raised an eyebrow at him. “Now is not the time to compare me to past lovers. I am not insecure in any way, but I am still a possessive alpha. I am currently knotted inside of you, but that won’t stop my dragon from seeking out all of your past lovers to cause pain.”

Caspian’s eyes widened. “That wasn’t…I have never lost consciousness, Dimitri. I didn’t mean anything beyond that. But since you’ve already mentioned it, I’ll go ahead and say that you are the best I’ve ever had. Fated mates aside, you truly are.”

I snorted. “I know nothing about sex with a mate beyond what we’ve experienced. I would venture to say that you passed out because we claimed one another though.” I was suddenly fighting with my dragon. He wanted to rush out and obliterate every previous lover that Caspian had. The human side of me knew that wasn’t logical and that my mate honestly didn’t mean anything negative by what he’d said.

“Oh, probably. I guess I could ask my fathers. Or my brother, but it’s not really something I want to discuss with them.” I nodded slowly. “How long do you think we’ll be stuck together?”

“I cannot say. What I do know of alphas’ knots and how long they last vary. We have just claimed one another, so I would imagine it will last a good while. Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable?”

Caspian sighed. “I’m not sure. Maybe we can try to roll over? If I sit up a bit, maybe it will work?”

“It’s possible. I had tried to roll us earlier while you were sleeping, but I couldn’t seem to do so without causing you to wince or grunt in pain.”

Caspian made a noise. “That doesn’t sound encouraging. I’m awake now though, and I’m definitely willing to give it a try.”

With Caspian awake, we were able to roll over without too much discomfort. He had to mostly sit up, which wasn’t exactly what he had been hoping for. Caspian bent at the waist, leaning his arms on my chest, and stared at me with a smile on his face. “Hello.”

I grinned back up at him. “Hello to you as well. How are you feeling?” I asked. I reached out and gently touched the new bite on his shoulder. Caspian closed his eyes before he shivered when I gently ran my finger along the scar.

“Aside from the giant dick knotted in my ass, I’m good. Excellent, I’d say.”

I couldn’t help it; I chuckled at that. When Caspian made a face, I fought myself and stopped laughing because I realized the movement tugged on my knot and his opening.

“What’s so funny?”

“That comment. It just didn’t seem like you.” I shook my head. “I work with Benjamin every day. He and most of the other warlocks are incredibly…” I did not wish to insult my mate, but how did one say that most of the warlocks he had met werequite stuck-up? “Proper,” I went with. “Benjamin is much more relaxed than many others. I’ve worked with Frederick from a distance, and he seems as if he’s fairly easygoing.”

It was Caspian who chuckled now. He did it twice before he winced again. “Yes, well, my cousins and myself try to be not stuffy. I know there are some older warlocks that can be much more formal, my own sire being one of them. I love him though, and despite the fact he’s much more serious, he is quite open to suggestions when he is called out.” Caspian moved his arm, and suddenly, there was a dim light coming from the bedside table. “Are you calling me stuffy?” he asked, a mischievous look on his face.

“I wouldn’t,” I told him with what I hoped was a straight face. Honestly, I didn’t know my mate quite well enough yet to be able to make such a judgment. If I went by our first meeting, I would say he was on the stuffier side. But after spending time with him shortly after, I would say that he was fairly laid-back.

Caspian traced a line from my collarbone to my nipple. When he swirled around it with his finger, my body reacted as I expected: my cock twitched. I knew Caspian felt it when his eyes widened.

“If you want it to go down, you need to not stimulate it,” I told him.

“I didn’t,” Caspian argued. “All I did was…” He trailed off as he looked at my nipple. When he cleared his throat, I fought off a laugh. Yeah, he did. “Sorry about that,” Caspian said. He moved his fingers to the middle of my chest and started lightly rubbing there. “Is this place safe?”

I smiled. “Safer. You touching me anywhere is going to turn me on. There are places that will cause more of a reaction than others, and you will learn what those are in time.”

Caspian got a glint in his eye before his fingers moved back over to my nipple. I reached up, gently holding his hand in mine to keep him from touching there again. “Behave,” I warned.

“Seriously?”

“Ja. I want to make love to you again. But I cannot do it if I cannot move. Let my knot go down. We can then have a shower and some breakfast, and then perhaps we can figure out what it’s like to make love in front of the fireplace downstairs?” The floor was currently bare, but I knew Caspian would remedy that in a blink.

“That’s not if…that’s definitely happening. When?”
