His dragon wanted to fuck her and come inside of her. Steele wanted to make this good for her, make sure she knew how much he cherished her and her body. He corralled the animalistic need. He slowly withdrew and pushed back in, setting a slow steady rhythm to drive her crazy.
Fleur moaned and wrapped her legs around the back of his thighs and her arms around his shoulders. He would stay this way forever if he could, wrapped in her body.
The world around them lit up with the glow from his shard and her necklace, the light danced in swirls around them, played with her flowers and blew through the trees.
With each thrust, he sunk his teeth a little deeper into her skin, the dragon pushing him to finish it, mark her, claim her. The connection between them was so evocative, and it coursed through his body, urging him to move faster, take her harder and deeper.
Joining with Fleur was so powerful it overwhelmed him. The way her body not only accepted his, but needed it. Her sweet moans and the way she whispered his name. Everything before this was pure play, practice, pretend compared to this. It was as if his own soul was pouring out of him. But, he wasn’t losing it to her, he was sharing it, bonding the two of them together as one.
Fleur ran her fingernails over his back. “Please, Steele. More, I need... please, more.”
This was exactly where he wanted her, so close to coming, needing him to push her over the edge into ecstasy. He moved his hands down, cupping her ass and tilted her body up, setting up a new angle he knew would propel her toward coming.
He thrust deeper into her, the head of his cock grazing the roof of her channel, rasping across her g-spot.
“Holy Mount Olympus, yes, yes. Gods, yes.” Fleur threw her head back, and he wouldn’t be surprised if he had his own bruises from her grip on his shoulders.
He wished he could whisper in her ear, tell her to come for him, but there was no way he could remove his mouth and teeth now. After he marked her he’s spend the next few hours telling her all the dirty things he would do to her, and then he’d do them all and more.
“Oh, don’t stop. I’m so close. Please make me come, Steele. Now. Make me come.”
The tight grip her pussy had on him squeezed and fluttered around him. Fucking hell, he wouldn’t last any longer the way she was milking him with her sweet sex. His balls gathered tight, ready to pour into her. He pounded his cock into her, out of control, and his dragon took over.
Now, she is mine.
He bit down, his dragon fangs extending, piercing her skin. The coppery taste of her blood melted across his tongue and his dragon roared out.
Both of their bodies let go, Fleur seizing around him as he pounded into her, shooting his seed deep into her, coming hard, skyrocketing into bliss.
They lay tangled together, her body still convulsing around him, her body holding him tight. Both were breathing hard, and Steele’s mind wanted only to hold on to the warm pleasure of her body. But, his teeth were still embedded in her. He withdrew his teeth and his cock at the same time.
“No, not yet,” Fleur whimpered.
“Shh, baby. I’m not going anywhere.” He licked over the wound he’d given her and blew a puff of Dragon’s breath to speed the healing.
Before his eyes, the blood and bruising mixed and mingled, transforming into a permanent shape that resembled a miniature version of his own dragon tattoo.
His mark.
He kissed the new symbol of their connection on her skin and made his way up her neck and to her lips. They kissed deeply, both needing to extend their connection a bit longer.
A shiver rolling across her body reminded them that they were out in the nighttime forest with wolves and who knew what else roaming around. He’d claimed, marked, and made his mate come. Now it was time to protect her.
Steele raised his head, reluctantly breaking their kiss. “Hello, beautiful mate. Let’s get you home and warm.”
Her eyes were sleepy and satisfied, but her arms were covered in goosebumps and another shiver moved across her body. She sighed in a way he hoped to hear a thousand more times in his lifetime, and smiled at him, nodding.
He sat up, pulling her into his arms and rubbed his hands briskly across her skin. There was one last thing he wanted to do before they left their mating spot. He wasn’t sure how or why he knew he needed to give his soul shard to Fleur, but he knew with his entire being that it was important that he did.
Steele slipped the cord that held his soul shard over his head.
Fleur gasped and pressed the talisman against his skin. “What are you doing? The last time you weren’t wearing that, you died.”
“Fleur, you saved this for me once before. Will you save it for me now, and forever?”
She shook her head, a panic in her eyes. “I don’t understand. It’s a part of your soul. How can you live without it?”
“You are my soul. Take this part of it and keep it safe, as I will keep you safe.”
