Each one is harder than the last and the burn he is causing on my ass is intoxicating. I never knew how much getting spanked would turn me on, but I am whimpering and panting through each firm smack to my ass. When I count out the last one, he gently peppers my burning skin with kisses. “Next time I won’t be as nice,” he promises as he pulls me up to stand. “We should get dressed.” I smile sweetly at him before we get clothes on. He chooses a long, loose dress and he puts on simple slacks and a dark red shirt to match me. Once we are presentable, we walk hand in hand to the main level.

“Hey,” Eyrx says when we walk into the large meeting room. “Have a good nap?”

“We did,” Drake says.

“Have you developed a mind link yet?” he asks.

“Not yet,” Drake replies. “I think after mating partially shifted might trigger it.”

“Mind what?” I ask.

“Basically, you’ll be able to talk to each other in your minds no matter where you are,” Eyrx explains. “All dragons can link, butmates have a stronger link. You already share emotions like joy and arousal, but this link will allow you to feel what he is feeling.”

“So, if he jerks off, I’ll know?” I ask, and Eyrx laughs.

“Yes, and you’ll probably come with him too,” he says.

“Hmmm,” I say as I smile at Drake.

“Brat,” Drake says. “Have you not learned a lesson today?”

“I’m curious,” Julianna says as he walks up.

“I smarted off and got a spanking,” I shrug.

“Ah, that’ll do it,” she laughs.

“Come sit,” Drake says. He leads me to the head of the table and sits and pulls out his cock. When he motions for me to turn around, I groan and complain but do as he says. He slides his hands up my dress to grab hold of my hips and hauls me into his lap.

“Oh Gods,” I gasp when he slams me down on his cock.

“Don’t move and don’t come. Understand?” he asks me quietly, whispering in my ear.

“Mhmm,” I whimper. He kisses my shoulder and moves my legs to drape over his so I can lay back on his chest. Everyone is watching us, but no one is fazed. Not even my parents. This must be a very regular occurrence in Vulkara for no one to bat an eye at me sittingon a cock, or maybe they just know better than to question the king.

“Good evening, everyone,” Drake says as he rests his hand on my bare thigh under my dress. He rolls us closer to the desk and acts as though his monstrous cock isn’t buried inside of me. “As you all know, Thalorin has broken the treaty. Based on that, I am proceeding with declaring war. As I stated earlier today, I have every intention to seek justice for my mate, and her biological parents. We learned after my statement that Lysa’s biological parents did manage to get to safety here but were unable to get back to her. Unika was severely injured when Balor had to make the tough decision to save her and leave Lysa behind. I want to stress that in no way are they responsible for Lysa’s abuse and have reconnected. Together they are seeking revenge for their upbringing and ultimately their separation.”

“When will we attack?” Keril asks.

“That is what this meeting is about,” Drake says. “The citizens of Thalorin are not our target. We want to give them an opportunity to get to safety before we attack. Ultimately, that is here in Vulkara. I will be opening the wall to allow anyone who wishes to join us. We have the resources to take on all of them comfortably, so I want them to have that option. By the end of this, I want the walls down and Lysa and myself to rule over all.”

“How can we get that message to the citizens of Thalorin though? Balor asks.

“Flyers,” I choke out.

“Come again?” Keril asks.

“She can’t,” Eyrx chuckles.

“Shut it, ham hock,” I frown.

“Brat,” he mutters.

“Flyers,” I repeat louder. “I can project memories onto them. Let them see what their leaders have done and leave them with a simple message to explain where to go for safety. We just fly over and dump them. Rystar, Isolde, and Aldric are more than likely in hiding, so the citizens are being left to fend for themselves anyway.”

“I could help project them,” Mom says. “We can work together and put all the knowledge into them. The moment they touch it, they’ll know. Anyone they encounter will also know. You and I can fly with Drake and your dad. They can get low enough and we can toss them.”

“I nearly died flying with Eyrx,” I laugh.
