Page 69 of The Soul of the Dragon

With no need for anything but this, I pumped in and out of her with extreme force. Her heat and our need combined had broken the dam and there was no stopping it.

Her body was so hot under my hands as I roamed them across every inch of her, pinching and plucking every erogenous zone she possessed. Her hips bucked and slammed into mine as she gave as good as she got. My little beast was a ferocious little thing and I loved taking her like this.

I leaned forward and slid my hand from her hips, into her soft, wet heat and then on to her clit so I could work her even more. I knew I was going to leave marks and bruises on her body, but it couldn't be helped. It was all too much and not enough at the same time. We both needed more, and I pushed us to the brink.

My knot was thickening and would soon lock inside her again. I pumped harder, almost brutally, throwing her into another unrelenting release that she screamed through.

"So damned perfect," I growled as the tingle at the base of my spine grew into a ball of white hot energy that exploded with my release, locking us together. I draped over her back, licking up her spine as her body convulsed underneath me. The heat we generated almost too much to bear.

When her cries became whimpers, I eased us both forward so she could rest until I could release from her body. I peppered kisses along the backs of her arms and the side of her neck still exposed to me.

"Sleep, princess. You're going to need it." I followed my command with a low purr to lull her. It seemed to work as her body went lax underneath me and we both rested. Her pressed into the bed and me resting most of my weight on my arms to spare her my full body weight.

When the knot worked free, I slid from her body and started to get up from the bed. She would need a bath soon to ease her soreness, but for now I could gently cleanse her.

Before I could clear the bed, she grabbed my arm and shifted to meet my gaze. "Isaac," she barely got the word out before I sensed another wave of desire churning inside her.

"Again?" I asked. "Are you sure?"

She didn't even answer. This time she pushed me into the bed and climbed on top of me. With her eyes glazed, her head thrown back, and the words coming from her mouth unintelligible, she rode my dick like her life depended on it.

This went on too long and I was beginning to worry. There was no way it should be this intense. She looked like a mad woman with her dark hair flying behind her and her porcelain skin mottled with my previous marks.

I palmed her breasts and squeezed her nipples before sliding my hands to where our bodies joined to aide my mate in her chase for relief.

"Why won't it stop?" she asked, gasping as she pumped harder.

I had a good idea what she needed, but to go there... It truly was madness. If I gave her my barb, I would be connected to her forever. Normally that meant she'd be connected to me as well, but I knew nothing about what happened during a fae and shifter mating.

But she was in pain, her heat driving her to the brink over and over again. It wasn't normal. And I couldn't leave her like that to suffer. Not when I had the power to give her body exactly what it wanted.

I knifed forward and wrapped my body around her as she continued to move. "You need my barb," I whispered against her skin.

"Then give it to me," she screamed. "You have to end this. I can't take much more."

Her body shook in my arms as I searched her face for some sign that she understood what would happen if I did this. I was about to claim her as mine.

Mate.

The dragon whispered in my head.

Save her.

For fuck's sake. She wasn't going to die. I just couldn’t bear to see her suffer. She didn't deserve this. I had started this by coming to her realm and it was up to me to finish it. Seeing my omega through her heat was a duty I relished. Despite our circumstances. Or our conflicts.

I gently laid her quivering body on the bed and came over her. If my seed planted and she got pregnant, I would not leave her. Not even for my father’s dying wish.

“Isaac,” she mumbled.

“Don’t worry, Kitra. I’ve got you. Lie still and let me help you.” While her body needed no preamble, and my dick was as hard as steel and ready to explode at the mere idea of what I was about to do, I still kissed my way down her center from her neck to the wet heat of her sex.

First, I pressed a gentle kiss against her abused clit, then I gently swiped my tongue between her folds. As the taste of our mingled essences exploded across my tongue, I reveled in her keening moan that filled the room.

“I know, little beast. You’re ready. But I had to have a taste.” And already I was addicted.

I gently came over her, and slipped inside her as carefully as I could. While she was eager as ever, I knew she had to be sore. Her hands tangled in my hair and pulled me down for a deep kiss as I took us both to the brink once again. With my knot in place and my decision made, the barb vibrated under its sheath until I released it.

As it found its way to her pleasure center, I kissed her mercilessly until it was settled in place and vibrating fervently.
