Chapter 33
Chrysander was already half-hard as he shut himself into the bathroom he now shared with Ellery. Their day was long, and it was late, but he wasn’t going to delay this much-deserved night. He’d already removed everything but his shirt and slacks, so Chrysander popped open the buttons to change into a pair of drawstring pants. The dragon was moving slow since he wanted to give Ellery plenty of time to swap outfits as well.
Thinking of Ellery taking off his clothing was doing nothing to cool Chrysander’s ardor, but he was determined to be a patient and thorough lover. Once he tugged on the black pajama bottoms, Chrysander took a steadying breath as he studied the gold scrollwork that covered part of his cheek and jaw in the mirror. For the past few centuries since he first met elves, he’d admired their mating marks, never believing he would have them himself.
If he felt a little like a dashing pirate with a small hoop in his lobe, he assured himself he’d like it even better when there were two, symbolizing Ellery’s purity. He preferred the earring on his mate; it was at the top of his pointed ear, and Chrysander loved it. Of course, he liked everything about Ellery’s face, and his cock jerked when he thought about the rest of the physique he would explore.
Deciding that sitting around and thinking about Ellery naked wasn’t going to help him stay patient, he opened the door and walked into the attached bedroom. He found an extraordinary drakeling sitting on their bed in long-sleeved nightclothes in fine black linen. His expression was serene, which meant he was on edge. As he approached him, Ellery stood and without any coaxing, wrapped his arms around Chrysander.
“How nervous are you?” Chrysander whispered.
“I know what to expect, and I want this…but without any experience, I am not going to be any good at it.”
Chrysander chuckled. “It’s kind of hard to mess up.”
“Easy for you to say.”
“Just focus on what makes you feel good.”
“I am pretty fond of your chest. Touching your skin makes me feel good.”
“How does kissing rate?”
Their eyes met, and amusement danced in Ellery’s jade depths. “I would highly recommend it as long as tongues are involved.”
Chrysander pulled Ellery tighter against his body as he lowered his head to press their lips together. It wasn’t good enough for them to simply have sex; he wanted to sweep Ellery off his feet, so he made love to his mouth slowly and thoroughly.
Ellery’s hands moved up and became buried in his hair as they explored each other. Chrysander slipped his palms under the hem of Ellery’s tunic to touch his smooth skin. He caressed the long muscles of his back as his cock nudged Ellery. An answering hardness pressed against Chrysander, but he ignored it.
His entire focus was on the taste of Ellery, the feel of his lithe form pressed so close to his own, and his choppy breathing as their desire grew. When he had no choice but to drag in some much-needed large breaths, he laid a line of kisses over the fresh scrollwork on Ellery’s cheek and up one ear where he sucked gently on the gold hoop.
“How do you feel about losing this shirt?” he asked Ellery, mindful of his elven modesty.
“I do not mind taking it off, but my legs are trembling. Can we move to the bed?”
Chrysander’s dick wanted him to shout yes and slam his elf to the mattress, but he kept his baser instincts in check. “If that’s what you want, then yes.”
Ellery released the hold he had on Chrysander’s hair and took a step back. Chrysander helped him tug off his tunic and tossed it to the floor. After turning, the elf hybrid clambered up onto the bed.
Admiring the pale skin on display, Chrysander strode over and joined Ellery. He swept a hand over Ellery’s chest, and his breath hitched. Closing the small distance between them, Ellery reunited their mouths. Chrysander liked his aggressiveness and enfolded him in his arms.
His other half once again pushed his hands into Chrysander’s tresses. As Ellery moved restlessly against him, Chrysander pushed one of his legs between his mate’s. That forced a moan out of Ellery which delighted Chrysander. He was hard and so ready to be buried inside Ellery, but this night was all for the man that was supposed to be his for eternity.
As they continued to kiss, Chrysander skimmed his palms downward so he could cup Ellery’s ass. Ellery responded by murmuring something incomprehensible and maneuvering so his cock bumped right into Chrysander’s. He swore the pleasure made his eyes roll back into his head.
“Did you not hear me?” Ellery complained after a few moments.
“I’m afraid not. Would you care to repeat it?”
Ellery harrumphed as Chrysander kneaded his ass cheeks. “I told you it would be nice for you to take off your pants.”
“A little bossy, are we?”
One dark eyebrow quirked. “I am an emperor.”
“Far be it for me to deny His Majesty anything,” Chrysander teased. He didn’t want to, but he released Ellery long enough to shuck his bottoms and throw them onto the floor.
An elegant finger traced down one thick vein on his cock. “You are well-built, Your Majesty,” Ellery commented without lifting his gaze from Chrysander’s crotch. When he took Chrysander in his fist, he couldn’t help bucking up into his touch.
