Page 7 of Vengeance and Fire

“Oh, shit!” I cry as he pulls all the way out and slams back into me again. I feel every inch of his throbbing cock as he fucks me hard against the wall. Wrapping my arms around his shoulders, I hold onto him tight and bury my head in the crook of his neck. I don’t know what comes over me, but I let my instincts take over and bite down hard on his flesh.Mine.My thought is singular as I suck on his golden skin.

“Fuck, Cordelia!” Dravyn says through gritted his teeth as he picks up the pace, hitting the spot inside of me that instantly starts the fires to build. I am so close, but I need more.

“This is real. I am real. I’m leaving my mark to prove it. Now, fuck me harder!” I find another spot and I bite down hard, causing him to groan in pleasure. I lift my head and lick the blood from my lips. Dravyn tracks my tongue with his eyes, but they’re not his eyes, they are the eyes of his Dragon. His violet eyes sparkle as he takes my lower lip between his teeth and sucks hard, taking the remains of his blood with it. We kiss frantically as he practically imprints my body against the wall. Our bond flairs to life, and I feel not just him, but all of my mates as they experience our pleasure.

“I’m going to come,” I cry out. Suddenly, he drops me to my feet, and before I can complain, he turns me and pushes me against the wall. My dress goes up and over my head, my hands shoot out in front of me as I brace myself and I’m bent forward. Dravyn’s body drapes over mine, and he grabs my breast. I moan as he pinches my nipple through the lace of my bra with one hand and slowly pushes every delicious inch of dick back inside me.

“Oh, God!” I cry out as he fucks me with short, teasing thrusts. My head drops and hangs limply between my arms as I push back against him needing him deeper.

“I can fuck you like this forever. I can live in this pussy, beautiful. This—” He reaches around with his other hand and rubs my clit. I moan long and loud as he pushes deeper inside of me, our hips touch as he holds my body flush to his.

“This was made for me. Made for us.” He leans down and whispers in my ear, it causes me to whimper. I am so close; my orgasm is just below the surface as my skin burns, sweat drips on the floor with every thrust as he pulls every ounce of pleasure from my body.

“Please,” I beg. Dravyn picks up the pace, pounding into me harder and faster. I cry out as he drags his length over every nerve ending. I feel like I’m having an out of body experience; my soul has left my body, watching us from above as I observe myself being thoroughly fucked. With one final pinch of my clit, my orgasm rips through me so hard I sob as my arms and legs go limp. Dravyn holds me up as he continues to move inside of me until he finds his own release. We stand there panting, taking long deep breaths until I can finally stand on my own two feet. I wince slightly as Dravyn pulls out of me, but it’s pain I accept willingly. I turn around to face him. I’m still breathing rapidly as I close the distance between us. Dravyn’s eyes find mine and I am reminded all over again of what I could have lost.

“I love you.” I wrap my hand around the nape of his neck and pull his lips to mine in a soft kiss. I linger there for a moment, reveling in what we just shared.

“Let me take care of you. Where’s the shower?” Dravyn asks as he scoops me up in his arms and I point towards the hall.

“OK, now my vagina is on vacation,”I say to them, which only makes them all laugh inside my head.

CHAPTERFIVE

TORIN

Ilove flying. It used to be the only thing that grounded me in this crazy ass world. When everything else turned to shit, it was my escape from reality. The changes in the laws, the prohibition of women in our society, and the way Arcadia was slowly dying, I could always shift, and when my Dragon took over, he gave me purpose, and freedom. When we flew our magic fed the landscape below, it was the one thing I had control over. The one thing I could do. I knew eventually one day things would change. I thought Gale, Adrian, and I were the solution. But we weren’t enough. The change came with Cordelia. She completed us. Our queen, my mate, my love is here. She is the beginning of something greater.

The wind brushes gently over my Dragon’s scales like a soft caress as it allows me to move faster through the sky. Adrian is to my left, Gale to my right, and flying below us is Dravyn in all his golden glory. According to Gale, who’s deemed himself the group historian, the golden Dragon was mated to the first queen of Arcadia when the Realmswere first created, and all the supernatural beings were divided into their own Realms.

Had he been destined for this his entire life? If Thaddeus knew what his son would become would he have ever given him to Maurelle? Dravyn could be the key to it all. Everything is cyclical, and Fate, it seems, has had its hand in it. To what end, I don’t know.

Cordelia not only wants to heal Arcadia, but she also wants to heal the rifts between our species. If we can offer the Shifters a way back to their magic, then I am behind it 100%. Like all of us, they deserve to be whole again. I believe in my mate. If she says it must be done, then it is our new duty, no matter how long it takes. We will follow Cordelia to hell and back without question. Her father gave her more purpose with his dying breath, and she wants to see it through. But first, Arcadia needs to meet its queen.

Cordelia flies in the middle of our Dragon circle, but not in Dragon form, she chooses to fly using her Fae wings instead. Massive bat-like wings extend out of her bare back as she concentrates on keeping up with us. My beautiful woman is determined to master everything in such a short period of time, and we will help her a much as we can. Who knows when Maurelle will show her hand? We all need to be prepared for when she does. I can’t wait until Gale pulls his knives out to train her. I will have a front seat, with popcorn in hand. Fuck, the sight of her with a sword on her hip—I'll save that image for later.

“I can’t believe my mother is alive. After all this time. My father lied to me,”Dravyn’s says to us all. During their private time together, Cordelia managed to tell him everything that had transpired while he was barely clinging to life.

“He didn’t want to give you any hope to hold on to. It made you more pliable. Maurelle took that lie and took advantage of it,”Adrian says as he sends comfort down our bond.

“I can’t wait to see her. She must be worried if she saw you dragging me out of a portal half dead.”I can feel Dravyn’s sadness, his warring emotions flood our bond, and I feel for him. How much more can this man take? Thaddeus has a lot to fucking answer for. And he will. I will make damn sure of it. Well, at least one of us will.

“Well, as soon as we finish here, I think it’s time for a reunion. Plus, I promised her I would return. I want to give her the peace of mind in knowing her son is alive. I also want to offer the people of theBarren Landssomething better,” Cordelia says out loud, her voice carrying over the wind. If my Dragon could laugh, he would, I don’t think she realizes she is doing it.

“Cordelia, gorgeous, use your head and not your mouth.”Gale’s echo of laughter is infectious, and just like that, everyone's mood is restored. Dravyn’s Dragon even makes an audible chuffing sound, a half huff and a half deep purr, and all of our Dragons follow his lead.

“What did I do? Is that a laugh?” Cordelia turns to face us in the air, shrugging as she dips in concentration and her wings flap harder to keep her upright.

“Delia, baby you are talking out loud, not telepathically. You’re supposed to be practicing. We all need to get used to communicating this way,”Adrian tells her, and her eyes grow wide at the realization.

“I thought I was.”She laughs out loud at herself. She’s so fucking cute.

“This is all still new to you. Hell, I can’t believe that I can speak to you all like this. I thought I would never get the chance. We both need to practice, Cordelia. We can do it together,”Dravyn says just as other Dragons can be seen flying in the distance towardsSaphir.In fact, the closer we get the more Dragons we can see flying and landing throughout the city. We had all put out a call to our regions to come and celebrate the new queen of Arcadia. Dragons from far and wide will be present today. There will be a lot of anxious female Dragons out today. I hope when they catch sight of Cordelia, they will be reassured and know change comes with her.

“Is thatSaphir?” Cordelia asks in awe. “Where are they all going?”This is the first time she’s seen so many of us all at once. I would be awestruck as well. I can’t wait to see her face when sees all of her people for the first time.

“Cordelia Drake, Red Dragon, Queen of Arcadia, welcome toSaphir, the capital of Arcadia and your new home,”Gales says as we all bank left in the sky and head towards the palace.

“They are here to see you,”I say with pride, because this is a moment I thought I would never see, and here we are introducing our mate to the Realm.
