“Feel better?”he asked, his chin slick with proof of my arousal.
“The earth is still in one piece,” I teased.
“We’ll have to do something about that then.”
A smooth roll onto his back, and suddenly, I was kneeling above his head.“Fuck yourself on my tongue, baby,” he said.“Take your pleasure.Give me everything.”
I wasn’t a fire shifter, but the heat within me burned hotter at his words.“Fuck, Aiden,” I gasped, lowering my hips down until he could suck on me.I gripped his horns again, working myself over him.
A glimpse over my shoulder showed me that he wasn’t unaffected; his hips rutting up into the air helplessly, his swollen cocks leaking pearls of precum at the tips.The sight sent me over the edge, clenching down on his tongue.He spurted seconds later, coming untouched all over his belly.
“That’s the best breakfast,” Aiden said, panting heavily.
“You’re hilarious.”I cleaned us both off with a quick spell and got ready to start the day.
Aiden caught my hand before I could leave the bed.“Hey,” he said, concern in his eyes.“It’s us against the world, yeah?”
I smiled at him.“I will stand at your side until the end of my days.”
He kissed my palm and released it.“That’s all I need to know.”
We didn’t see his family on the way down to the kitchen, nor while we ate.It was earlier than I preferred to wake, so I wasn’t particularly surprised.We had a busy day ahead of us.
“How are we getting there?”I asked as we left the chateau.It was a beautiful, clear day, with the sun just rising over the horizon.Birds flew overhead, chirping greetings as they hunted for their breakfast.
Aiden put his hand in the small of my back, guiding me to the right of the building, opposite from the side we had circled the night before.“We’ll take a dragon.”
I blinked at him.“I’m sorry, I think I hallucinated.Can you repeat that?”
He laughed.“We’ll take one of the family dragons.”
“How did I not know your family had dragons?”
“I’m sure I mentioned it.”
“In between the suspected murder of your grandmother and the manducare taming,” I chirped sarcastically.
“Probably around the time you learned about Dragon Polo,” Aiden teased.“You had a lot on your mind.”
I sighed.“When Hazel was missing.”
Aiden sobered quickly and rubbed my back a little.“Like I said, a lot on your mind.”
“Why can’t we do mirror travel?”
“To a prison?”Aiden said skeptically.“There’s quite a perimeter around the building to prevent that sort of thing.We’d have to hike for miles.You’ll see.”
“Have you been there before?”
“Once.It was a field trip.”
“Depressing.”
Aiden huffed a laugh.“Quite.It was actually an educational trip.We were learning about justice systems.My class sat in on a hearing, just like the one we’ll be at today.”We reached a large building similar to a barn, and Aiden opened a side door for me to enter.
The inside was brightly lit by a skylight, illuminating the oversized stalls.I had been inside horse stables, and this was similarly laid out, except instead of wood, everything was made of stone to prevent fires.
Aiden greeted the stable hands warmly before leading me to a stall halfway down the row.“They got Tsunami ready for us.I assumed you’d rather ride with me than on your own dragon, but they can prepare one if you’d prefer...”
