Page 57 of The Dragon King's Curse
Forming a mate bond was a deep and powerful experience for a dragon. A once in a lifetime event that many never know. I’d been so lost in her. Entirely consumed. The dragon within me had taken over and claimed her as his mate.
She didn’t know. How long would I be able to keep it from her? Surely when she eventually found out, she would run fast and run far.
“This is nice.” Feryn scooped a handful of warm water, splashing it over her head.
Her delightful little laugh brought a smile to my face. A real smile. One brought about by true joy and happiness. When was the last time I smiled like this? I couldn’t remember.
“It is,” I agreed. “I would be content to stay with you like this all night if we wouldn’t end up pruning and wrinkled.”
Laying her head back against my shoulder, a wistful sigh escaped her. “Not to mention the water would be incredibly cold. We would have to constantly refill it. Besides, I’d rather spend all night in bed.”
“Absolutely. I plan to fuck you until you can no longer walk. Until every move you make reminds you that I was there.” I nibbled the tip of her pointed ear. There was no part of this woman that I didn’t want to put my mouth on.
Feryn turned enough to look at me, her cheeks flushing pink. “Have you no shame? Such filthy things you say.”
“Don’t pretend you’re so innocent. I know how much you love my cock. No worries, princess. It loves you too.” I smirked when she splashed water in my face, affecting a shocked expression.
I doubted anyone had spoken to Feryn the way I did. Good. I wanted to be the one to take her by surprise. The one who brought that blush to her cheeks.
We were drying off after our bath together when she turned to me, her brow furrowed. “Did you feel that? When we made love. The magick on the air.”
Son of a bitch. I didn’t want to lie to her. Not only would it taint the bond we’d formed, but it wasn’t in my nature. An omission of truth would have to do for now.
“I did. It must’ve been you. You were amazing.” I gave her bare ass a slap, grinning when she jumped.
When she went to the mirror and peered at her reflection, I turned away, hiding the guilt that slid through my eyes. Feryn briefly examined the bite mark before combing out her wet tresses.
“We should probably leave here in the morning. Or should we travel by night?” She turned back to me, comb in hand as she expertly picked through her tangled locks.
“I think we’ll be safe until morning if you want to rest a while longer. Now that I can shift again, I’ll be able to fly us back to my realm.” Pulling her close, I pressed a soft kiss to her temple and then her lips. “Thank you for that, by the way.”
When Feryn told me how the curse could be broken, I’d believed it would never be done. Why would this woman ever feel so deeply for me? I still didn’t entirely know the answer to that question.
“What about the fae? Won’t they see us?” Swinging her hair behind her, Feryn left the washroom to sprawl naked on the bed.
I hungrily prowled after her. “It doesn’t matter now. You saw what I did to them. As a dragon, I can blast them out of the sky before they ever get close enough to harm us. We’ll make the trip to my realm within two days if we fly.” When she nervously nibbled her lip, I added, “I promise to take care of you. I would never let you fall.”
“All right then. We’ll fly. I can’t wait for this journey to be over.” As soon as she spoke the words, Feryn frowned, realizing what that meant.
This journey would soon be over. We would likely be forced to part. Neither of us seemed to want to think about that.
I didn’t want to let her go. Torn apart by warring urges, I struggled with my love for her and the obligation to my kingdom and to myself. The elves had wronged me. They deserved to suffer for what they’d done. To suffer as I had. But I could never bring harm to Feryn.
Once we left this room and this town, choices would have to be made. I didn’t want to think about that right now. Instead, I climbed onto the bed and buried my face between her thighs while she gasped and clutched a handful of my hair.
I didn’t lick her with soft, gentle strokes. Needing to drive her crazy as fast as possible, I went all in with an insatiable vigor. Burying my tongue inside Feryn, I got high on the taste of her. Her beautiful pussy began to weep for me. Growing wetter by the second. I truly couldn’t get enough.
Her hips jerked, and she pulled at my hair. Targeting her sensitive little clit, I sucked it into my mouth, flicking it with my tongue until she was near screaming. When her wetness dripped down her pretty ass and clung to her thighs, I rose up over her.
“Ready for more, princess?” I ran the head of my cock along her wet slit, teasing her by slipping inside her and then withdrawing.
“Don’t keep me waiting, king,” she admonished. The warrior within her showed itself when she used a handful of my hair to roughly tug my mouth down to hers. At the same time she raised her hips, seeking all of me.
Unable to hold back any longer, I plunged deep within her. That one motion was enough to make me forget everything. The decisions we would both have to make. The brutal truth of wherewe would stand with one another when this was all over. When her people came for her. None of that mattered when I was inside Feryn.
Her body beneath me felt soft yet strong. She gripped me with nimble fingers that dug into my flesh as she held me tight against her. Long silver blonde locks spilled across the bed beneath her. Feryn was a vision. The most head spinning, awe inspiring woman I’d ever been blessed to lay eyes on.
And yet it all felt so unfair. Like the fates were toying with us. Why bring us together only to tear us apart?
