Page 6 of Mated in the Stars

Elio arched his hips and shook his ass at me. I gave his ass the next slap he silently begged for. I was fucking hard. My dick throbbed for him, but I still took my time rubbing it between his cheeks. He was so slick and ready for me. He rolled his hips, rocking against me and I ran my nails over his back and ass until he reached behind him, grabbed my hands, and pulled me flat against his back.

“Someone’s eager,” the growl escaped my throat before I could stop it.

“Someone got me all worked up – the licking and sucking and thinking about taking down empires in my name.”

“That’s not very Starscale of you,” I teased him and rocked my hips, rubbing my shaft between the thick, round globes of his ass.

“I’m Moonscale too now, remember?” he said, pushing against me. “A dragon’s a dragon and it’s nice to know you’re ready to strike down a civilization if one threatens me. After what happened with Selt and Liatris, you never know.”

I made a note to circle back to that topic later when the head of my cock wasn’t prodding against the warmest, slickest omegahole I’d ever encountered. I lost myself to Elio’s body engulfing me and how our hips rolled together. He clutched my arms keeping them on either side of us, making me work harder with my hips to sink into him again and again. This was definitely how we ended up in this situation – but this situation was the best sort to be in. I licked the back of his neck before grazing my teeth over it. He moaned and pushed his hips back, sliding onto me, until I was fully inside his tight, slick body.

Stealing my arms away from him, I slid them under his chest. His nipples were hard as his star scale against my hands. I held him tight to me as I fucked him. I held him like I planned to never let him go. He rocked against me, working with his whole body. I slid one hand down his chest and abs until I found his hard cock. I stroked him in time with our bodies moving together. I kept my fist moving on him until his breaths came into those sexy, little gasps that meant he was so-fucking close. His pleasure rained down on both of us over our mating link. It mingled with my own until I wasn’t sure what sensation came from where and I stopped caring if it was his or mine, originally. Pleasure was pleasure and what was mine was his too. Elio trembled under me as he came, making a mess of the sheets. So many sheets to wash later but that was a problem for future us.

I rose up onto my knees taking him with me so that he found himself on all fours. Holding onto his hips, I let go of everything else. His body contracted around me, a pleasant spasm drawing me deeper into him. My name babbled over his lips as I sought out my pleasure. I loved how he said it – gasped it – when pleasure rolled around on his tongue. It never got old. It never stopped making my heart skip a beat.

“Fucking empires can crash and burn in your name,” I growled, gripping his hips tighter as I chased down my own release.

For the next few months, all sex was safe sex if he was comfortable in the position of the moment. So, when the momentum built too much, I spilt everything I was into him.

“Mine!” I growled the words as if it was a cry of victory. “You are mine.”

“Better than dude,” Elio laughed, through the moan that bubbled over his lips as I came into him.

We fell, spent, in a tangle of limbs reaching out for each other. I pulled him close so that he could rest his head on my chest.

“You know, if a revolution came here, as unlikely as that is, I’d burn down anyone who dared to touch you or anyone we care about. I don’t think Hush is in the business of oppressing dragons and I don’t think Starscales would let it happen again but if it did or if we were invaded or something, babe, I’m not helpless. Neither are you but ---” I stopped because I didn’t talk about Glitter Bomb much. Not how it was before it became a whole new territory. Ty and Feral finished what I started but I eeked it out of nothingness and chaos.

“I know you’ll protect me,” Elio said, looking up at me with big, sleepy eyes.

“Does he know?” I asked, tapping the orange star scale on his chest to get his attention.

“I think so. I think it all has him a bit rattled, and our hormones aren’t helping,” he said, blushing slightly.

“I know you can’t help it how you feel but don’t be embarrassed about it. Seriously. If I need to walk around with a gun and a sword again, I will.”

“No. I don’t think guns would make me feel safe at all,” he shook his head.

“That’s just as well. They don’t work great against dragons anyway,” I shrugged.

“Do you think everyone is this nervous about connecting with the rest of the universe again?” Elio asked, nuzzling his cheek against my chest.

“I don’t think so. I don’t think most people have thought that far ahead. They’re probably thinking about their mates and stuff who may be out there. I don’t think anyone bad is just waiting to get here. I think most Earthsiders who want to come here are scientists, students, and those who have people already here – like Clarence and his mate, my kids, and the like.”

“Teddy’s mate too, hopefully. Since Lime said his mate was out there and all.”

“Lime?” I blinked at him. “Oh, Liam. Lime.”

“Lime. Liam. Same thing. I figured maybe that’s what you all called limes back there.”

I laughed and stole a kiss from him. His scent was calmer and more relaxed than it had been since before he asked me that question. I silently hoped to Frost, Juda, and all their hatchlings and pups that his dragon calmed down before mine really made an ass of himself. My kids, Elio, whoever Lotus was now, and the crew of the Medwin 2 that’s all he cared about at the end of the day. Those were the people who really mattered to me.

“You miss the other kids,” Elio yawned.

“I do. We don’t know that Lotus will show up, but we know we’ll be able to see them. Sometimes it’s the concrete facts you have to focus on and let hope dig the grit out of its own knees.”

“Hope got you here.”

“That was the Medwin 2.”
