Someday.
I rumbled an agreement with my dragon, the flare of lust in Dolyn’s dragon eyes drawing my balls up tight against my body as he felt my desire to give him what he longed for.
Yes, I told him. One day soon, you can tie me up—and you’ll remember it’s only because I’m allowing it.
“I want to watch,” Ashley said with a breathy moan, her arousal flooding my nose and the bond between us.
“Whatever you desire, my female,” I said, crawling up onto Dolyn’s back. The magnificence of his size, the sheer beauty of gold glinting in the failing light—I’d never seen anything so goddamn beautiful in my life.
It took a few bits of laughter and annoyed snorts from my beta like it always did, but Ashley and I managed to fasten in place the leather contraption he’d fashioned for us last week.
Legs strapped down tight against his body, I shifted my ass, his scales smooth beneath my bare skin and arousing as hell. “Get up here,” I growled at Ashley, “before I grab my cock and jerk this load of cum from my balls all over Dolyn’s pretty scales.”
A growl rumbled beneath me, and I tipped my head back, fisting my cock. “Don’t tempt me.” I bit the words out, never more relieved to feel Ashley settle her thighs on either side of me. “Take me deep, baby,” I said, lining my throbbing head at her opening.
She slammed down onto me, and Dolyn leaped into the air, my arms wrapped around our female, our hearts beating in time—twice beyond what they normally did—as our dragon carried us higher than I’d ever imagined, our cries of ecstasy lost in the wind rushing past our ears.
Epilogue - Ashley
I sat on the veranda’s edge with Tiggy at my side, warm spring air wafting over my face as I gazed into the sky.
Both of my mates, cloaked and glorious, frolicked in their beast forms, bumping, diving, and rolling among the low, murky clouds that promised rain.
The chill of the stone beneath my naked backside didn’t bother me, nor did the fact I hadn’t yet been able to get my dragon wings to keep me in the air for longer than a few seconds.
Soon.
Even from the distance between us, I heard both Vanni and Dolyn’s dragons echo my own’s sentiment. Both Vanni and I had managed to shift after two months of practice. He’d only taken to the sky a week earlier, and I loved watching his black beast soar and dip alongside my golden god.
The smile remained on my face more often than not, a sense of contentment that doubled due to our bond. Never had I ever expected to find such joy and peace. While an occasional flashback or bad dream put me in a funk, my mates’ connection with my thoughts and emotions allowed them to help me get ahead of trigger effects. Distraction was our favorite go-to, but learning what Dolyn had done in his absence had laid most of my trauma to rest.
My abuser no longer drew breath, and cold eyes wouldn’t ever watch me again. There was no evil consciousness that would search me out and stalk me as he’d been doing for years. The man’s computer had held damning evidence of his past sins, but rather than taking it to the authorities, Dolyn exacted justice the vigilante way, burning everything the man owned, body included, to the ground.
He felt zero remorse.
Same as me.
Were my parents out of their jobs? Perhaps. But, their lives no longer concerned me, just as mine hadn’t to them all those years ago. Karma could be a bitch, and I left them to their fate.
As for me?
I sighed and scratched behind Tiggy’s ear, my heartbeat starting to thrum as my beastly men drew closer, the power of their massive wings shooting them unhindered through the air. Every second, they loomed closer, heightening my breath. Need coiled in my abdomen, and the thought of shifting for us to breed in dragon form flitted through my mind, but I wanted hands on my skin. Lips and tongues worshiping me rather than a heated, hard fuck like our dragons tended to prefer.
Glowing eyes rested on me, their intent clear as the distance closed.
I scooted back from the veranda’s edge, allowing them space to touch down one at a time. Once the first set of claws clattered on stone, the shifting began, quickly shrinking muscle and bone, morphing scales to skin.
Tiggy barked and ran to Dolyn, licking his leg.
My beta knelt, whispered into his ear, and like a good boy, Tiggy loped around me toward the open door behind me and disappeared inside.
I sprawled on my back, legs spread, propped on my elbows.
Vanni’s focus slid over my body with laser focus, dark and menacing, causing goose bumps to erupt over every inch of me. Even my scalp tingled with heightened awareness. He palmed his shaft, a slow upward stroke making pre-cum leak from his slit.
My mouth watered, and I swallowed, glancing at Dolyn again.
His warm gaze rested on my face, the love in his heart catching my breath, his tenderness toward me causing my eyes to well.
