Page 219 of The Forbidden Dragon King
My breath stutters.
“The Shadow Devils teach that sex and blood have been bound together since the time of the Void.” Daire’s voice is mesmerizing. It holds me spellbound in the dark of the cave. “Death and sex are primal desires, which we worship, just as the vampires do. For once in your uptight life, Aurelius, let out your inner dragon and prove to yourself that you won’t hurt us. I believe it; you need to as well.”
Aurelius’ questioning gaze meets mine. “Spark…?”
I nod, too deep in heat now to speak.
I’m shocked by how much I want to feel the dagger that I’ve long coveted to steal inside me.
Wouldn’t that be the ultimate way to steal its power? To possess it like no one else has before?
My eyelashes are fluttering. I crave Aurelius’ touch, knot,anything.
When Aurelius adds a fourth finger, I whine.
Suddenly, Daire rises up with a harsh flap of his wings. He rests against Aurelius’ back, pressing his sharp fangs to his throat.
Taken by surprise, Aurelius stills. “I thought that we had an agreement on the assassination attempts.”
“We will both worship you, Emperor.” Daire tightens his hold on Aurelius, clawing his fingers into his back and flapping his wings, as if the two Alphas have become one. “I’m just reminding you, however, that if you hurt our Omega, then I will tear out your bloody throat.”
“Good.” Aurelius pulls his fingers out of my pussy and slowly nudges the tip of the sheathed blade inside.
I moan at its cold feel, which also tingles with cursed magic.
The danger adds to the thrill. I am a wolf shifter, after all.
Aurelius could turn me to ash, but instead, he’s using his weapon to bring me pleasure.
I’m trusting him to keep me safe. I’mchoosingto.
In and out, a little further each time.
I’m unraveling, being taken apart by the intensity. Aurelius never looks away from me. His lips are cruel, but his gaze is worshipful.
I am the Queen in this nest.
I glance over Aurelius’ shoulder at Daire, whose teeth are now firmly latched into Aurelius’ neck but without breaking the skin. I realize with a jolt of shock that he’s not deliberately hurting Aurelius. He’s not even restraining him; he’s grounding him.
He’s keeping Aurelius safe in this nest in the same way that he is me, as a dragon rider should their dragon.
As a mate should their pack member.
Pleasure is winding through me again.
Too much. Too fast.
I whine, high and alarmed, unable to speak.
Slick drips from my pussy and down my ass. I’m so ready for a knot that I’m aching for it.
Then in desperation, I bite onto my snowflake mark.
I throw my emotions, my desperate need to be knotted, through the bond.
Immediately, Daire raises his head from Aurelius’ neck. “Stop. Our Omega needs us to knot and breed her. Why don’t we each take one side of her?”
When Aurelius slowly withdraws the dagger; I finally notice how pale he is. His cheek twitches, but his hand doesn’t shake; it’s still steady.
