She reaches a hand between her thighs and moves her shorts out of the way. She’s stroking herself as she takes me in her mouth. It’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. She rides her own hand while I pump and thrust deep into the back of her throat. I don’t last long with this arousing scene and I can barely hold on as she unravels herself. I follow her over the edge at the same time and fill her slick, warm throat.
“Swallow, little dragon.”
She does exactly as I say, swallowing and sucking me completely dry. Pulling away, I watch as she licks her lips and looks at me through heavy lashes.
“Good girl.” I lean down to kiss her and taste myself on her lips. She deepens the kiss and I reach down to pull her into my arms. Wrapping her legs around my waist, my still swollen cock slides through her folds and I can’t fucking control myself. I walk to the bathroom door and prop her up against the wall next to it. Sliding my still-hard flesh through her wet sex, I feel another climax fast approaching as I rub her perfect clit with my cock.
She’s moaning and whispering my name while nibbling on my ear. I hear her fangs pop out and she latches onto my throat, causing a moan to escape my mouth and making me move faster. I can feel the puncture wounds and it’s causing severe arousal to course to my body like electricity, and before I know it I'm cascading over the edge of ecstasy and she follows me down the cliff.
“Holy,” she pants. “Shit.”
I chuckle and lift her higher into my arms, opening the door behind her and entering the bathroom. She uses her water magic to begin pouring the bathtub and I swirl in neon blue flames to heat the water she conjured. I get another wave of pleasure running through my body as our magic collides.
“I think I could spend eternity with you in bed,” she says into the crook of my neck as she nuzzles herself against me.
“That’s exactly what I plan on doing. An eternity fucking you into the void.”
“Mmm.” she moans and rocks her hips against me.
I laugh and slowly lower her into the full bathtub. “Is my little dragon actually a sex demon?”
“Maybe.” she looks at me curiously and then submerges herself entirely under the water. I undress fully and step into the bath behind her, pulling her against my chest and resting her wet head on my shoulder.
Together, we wash ourselves in peaceful silence and prepare for the battles that lay ahead.
I think to myself how lucky I am to have my mate finally accepting our bond and indulging in all the pleasantries that come with it.
TWENTY-FIVE
Ember
After Willow and I join the others downstairs, we find Artie and Amara bickering on the couch.
“Oh! Em! I’m so glad to see you’re awake.” Amara chimes and rushes to embrace me in a tight hug. “Tell me everything.”
I laugh and pat her on the back, smelling her hair and feeling all the more at home. It’s so surreal to have both Willow and Artie in my apartment. I never thought I'd let him infiltrate my heart like this. I can’t wait to show Willow my shop soon but it’s just not the focus of the trip this time.
“I told her of my father’s powers, but that’s basically it.” Willow nods at us.
I grab her hand in mine and take Amara to the couch. We kick Artie off and curl up under a thick wool blanket together. Fae orbs dance around my living room and warm the space in soft pink and blue lighting. A mixture of mine and Willow’s powers. It soothes my anxiety and nerves before spilling this giant news to my best friend.
“There’s so much to tell, but I guess I’ll start with the most shocking news. We think we found my parents.” I say while taking Amara’s hand in mine.
“What?!” She jumps. “You’re just going to casually drop that massive ball of news in my lap and expect me to stay calm?!”
I glance up and find the boys laughing as they watch our interaction. Both of them stand with arms crossed, legs spread apart, staring at us and listening closely to our conversation.
It’s a strange comfort to have them both here. I’m growing more and more fond of my time spent with Artie as well, he’s quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
I tell them all about my journey to the secret room in the palace. Both Amara and Artie’s jaws drop when I explain that I’m the Moonlace princess, daughter of King and Queen Moonlace.
I still don’t know what exactly that hidden room was, but according to Willow, he’s never seen the door in his wing. It’s as if the lunar palace opened up rooms just for me, the Moonlace princess. I’ve always felt a strange connection to the palace ever since my first visit. The walls may have been hiding rooms from the king’s ill intentions and starting to show them to me, seeing as I’m the lost princess.
Or maybe my deceased parents, Morak and Meelis, left me secret rooms and passages to discover. Truths to reveal.
Either way, I’m going to need to explore more of the palace soon enough. I may have another encounter with Naistrelle and be able to get more answers to the questions we all have. The prophecy the goddess gave me was so vague that it was practically useless at this point. She told me I’m some lost princess and that we were the key to stopping whatever the king is planning, but she gave me no information about his plans nor how to stop him. The whole thing was kind of a joke honestly and everyone here agrees with me.
I’m nervous about returning to the palace for what the king may be up to. He seems hell-bent on torture and destruction, and I just do not want Willow to become the subject of his attention again. But we need to get inside the palace walls and find any trails of information my parents may have left me.
