Was he going to say that he loves us both?
He takes desperate breaths of my neck, licking up my scent gland. Then he nuzzles down my jaw, kissing and biting.
I arch in pleasure.
Daire shifts out from underneath me, struggling out of his torn clothes to create a nest beneath me. Then he eases the robes off my shoulders, stripping me.
Aurelius draws back, tracing his thumb slowly over my lips, studying me tenderly, as if needing to ensure that I am still alive.
Then he dips his head to kiss me, slow and deep.
Our tongues entangle. I am cocooned in his scent. And I fall fully into the fuzzy, primal heat.
I clutch at Aurelius’ shoulders, but he pushes me away, pulling back.
“Please,” I beg.
Aurelius’ shadows wind around me again, dancing from his fingers, as he kneels between my thighs.
I thrash, as ghostly fingers brush over my breasts, circle my sensitive nubs, then slide down my sides.
Suddenly, the shadows pin me more firmly in place.
“More,” I moan.
I don’t know what I’m asking for, except that I am already wet and trembling on the precipice of coming from the idea that these are Aurelius’ shadows questing between my legs and pushing my thighs wider now.
On the moon, is he truly going to…?
I gasp, as the shadows push into my pussy, stretching me.
“Yes,” I hiss.
“Good Omega,” Aurelius’ voice is slow and deep.
When I look up at him, struggling to catch my breath, I realize that Daire has moved in that fast and silent way of his, and is slowly undressing Aurelius like he’s finally taking seriously his vow toservehim.
Daire removes Aurelius’ cloak carefully like he’s the King’s squire, folding it in a way that he never has his own clothes and placing it to the side.
When he attempts to remove the King’s belt, however, Aurelius stops him.
“Are you afraid of the dagger?” Daire tilts his head.
“I’m afraid ofyoutouching it, Kitten,” Aurelius replies. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
“That’s a first.”
Aurelius grips Daire hard by the back of the neck, forcing him to meet his eye. “Freya chose you as her pack. You’re under my protection now. More than that, you’re connectedto me by fate and golden threads.My dragon rider. Do you understand how deeply a dragon is connected to their riders? All my life, I never thought that I would be lucky enough to have one and now, I have two. You’re my Alpha fated mate. Don’t kill me, and eventually, I’ll find a way for you to rule next to me, as much as Freya will be my Queen.”
Daire looks caught out, as if he never expected this from Aurelius.
Hurriedly, he smirks, hiding behind banter. “I’ll try, but assassination attempts are my favorite hobby.”
“Take up needlework.”
The shadows thrust into me, deeper and deeper.
I clench my hands, as they hit just the right spot.
