“Are you alright, are you in pain?” I asked.

While I knew she could be in pain, I tried not to ask her about it. It seemed to irritate her when Abuela did. I couldn’t help but do it now since she just ran half a mile through the forest.

She panted, still catching her breath. “No. And I’m sorry that I ran. I wanted to feel the air in my face. I felt free.” She laughed. “It's the magic around here, don’t you think? The forest seems more magical. Not that I was really looking at the plants, I concentrated on Luis most of the time to make sure he wasn’t getting hurt.” She waved her hands around excitedly, not at all bothered I had asked her.

I couldn’t wait to tell her it was the bond that we shared that made the pain fall away. I watched how Journey healed. She was a timid thing when she first came here, but as her and Grim’s bond grew, she had become so much stronger. I believed Elena was the same. I was healing her.

That was why I hadn’t had Bones come around to do a checkup. I was the one who would take care of her. Her pain would be gone permanently once we bonded.

“This way.” I pulled her in the direction of the entrance of the cave. It was twelve feet high and fifteen feet wide. When I originally found the cave, it was much smaller, but I took my time carving it out because on the inside, it was much larger.

Since the spring and summer fae have taken over several spots of the forest, their vegetation has run rampant. The front of the cave was covered in a thick tangle of vines, each with vibrant green leaves and delicate flowers in shades of pink and purple. The vines climbed up the sides of the cave, obscuring the entrance and creating a natural barrier to protect it from outsiders. Thick moss and lichen cover the rocks. It was home, much better in appearance than when I first arrived here.

I don’t know if the goddess planned this, but it has worked in my favor because now my home was warm and dry, and would continue to be so as long as the vines continued to grow here.

The boxes I had ordered to ensure my mate’s comfort and her suitcase were placed just to the right of the cave. They were just behind the vines, keeping them out of sight. Bear and Nadia never went inside my cave. I’ve never invited them in.

Dragons were a rare species, our numbers low even in the Elysian Realm. No one knew what would happen if an outsider came into my territory and my dragon suddenly appeared. It was best they never entered.

Elena, being my mate, I was sure was okay.

I went to bend down to grab her suitcase, but I felt her push me against the stone of the cave. As her arousal enveloped me, the air seemed to crackle with electricity. I couldn't help but release a breathless sigh of anticipation as her delicate hands glided up the contours of my body, sending a delightfulheat straight to my cocks.

She hummed delightedly. “You are still slick with this body oil. You don’t know how much I wanted to run my hands all over you when you were dancing.”

My body snapped up, and I wrapped my arms around her. The entire time I danced, I thought of her. Each movement calculated to seduce her, to have her want me, let me touch her in ways I have always wanted to touch my mate. Goddess, I wanted her to be that pole, rubbing myself all over her, drowning her in my scent, letting my precum wash all over her body to mark her.

She rained kisses up my chest as far as her height would allow, I lowered myself so she could kiss the side of my neck and immediately my cocks filled thick with blood.

Fuck.

I unbuttoned my pants to let them breathe. If I didn’t come now, I would explode. It had been years since I had let out any seed, too afraid she would hear me in the cabin. I could only get it up around her, and I wasn’t about to get caught by our son.

“Damnit, Elena, we need to talk first.”

“You talk too much,” she replied, annoyed. “Take me to bed.”

I fisted her hair, my fingers twirled into her hair to have her lips meet mine. Then, we strode through the vines and I forgot all about the boxes and suitcases. They would be fine until morning.

I fumbled at the side of the cave wall for the makeshift switch, to light up the large tent that sat inside the cave. My home was inside the cave.

The tent glowed in muted light, with shades of deep colors adorning the inside of the tent. The navy, purples, and greens blended together in the dimness with the blankets and silks that hung from the top of the cavern. Gold colored lanterns dangled from holes strategically cut into the tentabove, casting a gentle glow on the makeshift interior. The area was filled with soft mattresses, plush pillows, and thick blankets that were all covered in my scent. Soon my mate would cover it with her own.

Elena mewled, and I picked her up by her thighs as we approached the monstrosity of my home. Large enough to house my dragon so he could sleep in peace. Elena paid no attention, her mind on one thing. Well, two things that were very much to attention now.

The compression underwear I had to wear now couldn’t cope, my cocks had pushed the material down, and now they rested just under my mate’s ass.

“Anaki,” she whined. “I think you are going to be too big.”

I rolled my head back at the compliment.

I’ve got a praise kink, oh yes, I do.

“Elena, we need to talk.” I groaned when she rubbed her wet, delectable pussy on the top of my first dick. My lower dick wanted to cry that it wasn’t being touched.

Can a dick cry?

It was certainly leaking everywhere.
