I surrounded him with my body, kissing all over his face.

“Claim me?”

I knew he had not consented to a claiming bite with Colt. The fact that he wanted one now almost surprised me. But not quite. He was mine. And now I knew he felt the same way about me.

I lowered my head to the soft spot between his neck and shoulder and began kissing and sucking. I grazed him with my teeth, and he squealed thrusting up. I felt that all the way in the back of my brain. It was meant to be.

I thrust forward with my hips and my cock felt full again, quite suddenly ready to explode.

I bit down.

“More,” Jinn encouraged.

My teeth gently sank into the first layers of flesh. Jinn squeezed his ass against me.

I rocked my hips back and forth and came almost as hard as I had minutes ago. Jinn shouted out his own orgasm, bucking up.

I kept hold of his flesh in my mouth. It was the dragon's way. In the old days the bite was used to hold the omega down. To claim. To mark. To bond. But for me, I simply wanted him to be mine.

Afterward, we lay in each other's arms still breathless. Barely sated. I was ready for another go and that hadn't happened to me since I was a teenager.

Our legs entwined. We lay on our sides facing each other, staring into each other's eyes. We were deeply connected now, and I could feel the swirl of him, the beautiful incandescence of his thoughts and emotions. Of him.

“I want you always,” he whispered.

“And I you.”

“Never has it been like this,” he said.

“Not in all my years,” I replied.

“Are we mated?”

“Yes.”

Jinn’s grin spread nearly ear to ear. “I can't wait to do it again.”

After a few minutes of rest, that was exactly what we did.

Jinn

Imumbled into Lyric’s chest. “I feel different.”

“How?”

“Like I'm new. Like I'm free. Like I'm finally safe.”

My alpha hugged me tightly.

We slept some more, woke hard again in the middle of the night and made love again. It seemed to be our natural state for now. No complaints from me.

I woke with the sun in my eyes.

Lyric was up and pacing before the window, phone to his ear. He spoke too softly for me to make out the words.

I sat up, the sheet pooling at my groin. I was half hard which was unbelievable after the night we'd had.
