“Oh, Aodh...it feels like mag-ic—” Her words broke away as she curled her fingers around a glossy piece of obsidian and held it close to her chest while she stared at his dragon.

Through the eyes of his dragon, he could see her tantalizing curves shudder with nervousness and smell the anxiety seeping through her pores as she stood before his beast in the center of his hoard.

“Umm...”She licked her lips and swallowed as if she wasn’t sure of the words to say.

When she stooped down and lowered her hand toward a pile close to her, he called out mentally,Don’t!

She froze, her fingers not fully extended enough to drop the chunk in her hand.I was only looking at it.I wasn’t going to take it.

Do you like it?His dragon stepped back.Black stone shifting and tumbling around from his weight.He stretched his hind legs back until his massive belly rested in a large divot he created within the stones.

Y-e-ess.She glanced at the stone, turning it left and right as if playing with the light bouncing on it but only penetrating the edges.It’s so dark, so mysteriously beautiful.

Keep it, mate.I want you to have it.

Are you sure?She drew herself up, appearing more at ease in the place.

His dragon leaned his head down and then inched it forward until his snout bumped her hand holding the stone.It would please me greatly.

Then I will.

The beast sighed and let out a light stream of white smoke that curled around Kai’s legs and up her body in ribbons.

Kai smiled and coyly used her free hand to palm some of the smoke and lift it to her nose.She inhaled slowly.

The Mckenna’s mammoth body shivered at the sight.Mine.

Yes.Kai confirmed and began to walk through the hoard again, lifting stones of various sizes and holding them toward the light for examination before putting them down and grabbing a different one.

Aodh’s dragon lay captivated by her.At ease, his beast extended its front paws and buried his talons in a pile beneath him only to unclasp the stones and push them away again—gratified, pawing like a big cat on its favorite blanket.

Besides your particular stone, choose a handful of small pieces.

What for?This one is enough.Kai held up the black obsidian in her right hand.

Yes.But Aodh wishes to have something made for you.

She tipped her head to the side and observed him for a moment.Okay.But only if I can have a fragment melted into my father’s ring.

It was his dragon’s turn to hold her in his gaze.

Resting within his dragon, Aodh knew how much the gold rings meant to Kai.She had not backed down from approaching Ninki, whose hearth-stone was gold, to get her parents’ rings back.The feeling swelled in his heart was foreign to him, one he wasn’t ready to deal with now, so he set it aside to evaluate later.

You may.

Kai hiked up the small mountain until she stood close to his dragon’s head.She reached out and placed her hand, minute to the gargantuan head, right along the side of one smoking nostril.Thank you.

At that moment, Aodh was sure that this woman, his mate, was weaving a spell around his heart that was more powerful than any mage blood that filled every fiber of his and his dragon’s being.

Then he knew what that feeling was a moment before he could not decipher—love.He was falling head over tail in love with his little flame.

Aodh shifted, pulled Kai into his arms, and claimed her mouth in a fierce kiss, the hearth-stone chunk still clasped in her hand between their chests as they stood on a high pile in the middle of the cavern filled with his black-obsidian hoard.

Lowering himself, he drew her down with him as he used one hand to hold the back of her head while he devoured her mouth and dragged the other hand down her body.As he stretched out over the stones and felt the plush weight of Kai’s curvy form settle over his, he began to work the layers of her dress up her legs until he could reach the supple warmth of her thighs.

He’d put off his desire for her long enough, and right now, he needed to drive himself inside of Kai until her tight, wet pussy was spasming around his cock, as their limbs tangled among his hearth-stone.
