Chapter Thirteen

Two weeks later…

Luca sat on the bed, flipping around the channels of the television.For the first few days, the thing had captivated him.There was so much about the world he needed to catch up on.After a week of what Bull liked to call “binge watching”, he was ready to see the world for himself.

Bull visited every late morning, to see how he was doing and to chat about things.It was never anything too deep. Nothing about the past… or about Drake. Bull kept things light and avoided subjects that would lead them to a potential argument.

He appreciated the fact Bull didn’t want to argue, but they would never get past where they were until they did.

They would never forge a bond together unless they could reach a common ground.

At least he had Drake to keep him balanced and sane, stuck in the same room day in and day out—oh, except for the two short breaks he had outside in the fenced garden.He loved the feel of the sun and wind on his face, but seeing the electrified fence only yards away didn’t help as much as it could.

He wasn’t free.

Unless he was in Drake’s arms. Walls and bars and fences faded in the moments he spent with his dragon. Every evening since they’d first slept together, Drake had returned to him and shared the small bed that most definitely wasn’t made to fit two big shifters.

But they made do.

As long as they were together, he didn’t care if they slept on a stone floor.

He got up and paced the room once, twice… maybe a half dozen times.It was nearing the time Drake typically returned, and he needed his mate close for some reason.

Luca couldn’t put his finger on it, but he thought it might be a bit of cabin fever. Bull had promised him release if he’d proven he could stay in control.With Drake and the daily serum injections, he was vastly improved.

After another half hour or so, the door finally opened. Drake entered, looking exhausted. He dropped his bag at the door and sighed. Luca moved close, giving his mate a kiss. “Hard day?”

“It took me hours to get inside one of those little minds.It was a steel trap… and took a lot out of me.” Drake had been assisting Deacon in reading the children they’d saved from Zed. He spent all day doing that and came to Luca when he was done, seeking solace.

“Dinner should arrive soon.Maybe I can help you take a shower?”

Drake smiled.“That—would be amazing.”

Luca felt his panther purring within. He turned Drake around and began to help remove the dragon’s clothing.When they were done, Drake turned and did the same for him.

Naked, they kissed, the hunger in both of them never seeming to fade. He urged Drake into the shower. After he turned on the water and checked the temperature, he drew the man inside behind him.

Warm water sluiced down their bodies. Luca grabbed the wash cloth and shower gel and began to soap Drake’s muscled body. He explored every inch like it was the first time—first one side and then the other. When he’d finished the man’s lower legs and feet, he remained kneeling, hungry for the thick cock jutting out at him.

Luca drew the head between his lips. After a couple of weeks of practice, he felt much more confident than his first time performing the act. From the growls and hungry groans coming from Drake’s lips, he was sure his attentions were appreciated. He used a hand to kneed and massage Drake’s sac, giving him the caresses that seemed to get the most response from his dragon.

Luca had spent the last weeks as Drake’s bottom, the recipient of the dragon’s need. Tonight, he felt the need to turn the tables.He wanted to fuck Drake—but he wasn’t sure if the dominant dragon would allow it.

Testing the waters, he moved a hand behind Drake’s sack and pressed the pad of his thumb against the tight hole. Drake’s knowing moan echoed around them, and it only grew as Luca pressed his whole thumb into the dragon’s ass.

He continued to suck Drake’s shaft. Lifting his stare, he watched the reaction to the suckling coupled with a little ass play. The dragon appeared to be into it… very much into it. He stared down at Luca hungrily, his mouth parted and his eyes shining bright.

Luca sucked even harder, moving the in and out movements of his thumb in time.

It took only a few more strokes before he felt the blast of seed against the back of his throat.Mixed with it was a little of the dragon’s fire… and his smoke. Luca drank it all in, loving the taste of his dragon. And loving the feeling of the male’s powers surging through his veins.

When Drake was emptied of his last drop, Luca withdrew his thumb and released the softening cock. He rose and washed his hand… he’d already showered not long before Drake returned… so his body was clean.

He turned off the water and helped dry his mate’s body. “Too tired for more?”

“I don’t know if I have the energy to take you tonight.”

Luca licked his lips, unsure if Drake would want to try another way.
