“You’re so fucking beautiful,” I tell her, watching as her cheeks flush at my words.

She looks away, but I reach for her wrist, pulling her against me so that her nipples press against my skin. I slip a finger beneath her chin, angling her face up until she meets my eyes.

“I want to make you mine.” My voice is a rasp now, thanks to the need coiling inside me.

“I’m already yours, Aries.”

“No.” I shake my head. “Not yet. But you will be tonight.”

I lift her in my arms, and she wraps her legs around my waist. Instead of carrying her to the bedroom, I remain where I am in the middle of the living room, feet planted and palms pressed to her ass cheeks as I align our bodies. When I push inside her, she gasps, her arms tightening around my shoulders.

I move slowly at first, my dragon roaring for more as I struggle to remain in control. Paige has always felt like heaven, but tonight, all my senses are heightened. I need her more than I need breath in my lungs. What I feel for Paige is bigger than any kingdom or realm. With her, I am complete.

Paige pants in my ear, and I brush my lips against the soft flesh of her throat. With my tongue, I lick a trail from her collarbone to her ear, and she tightens her grip on me, meeting my strokes with her hips.

My need roars in my ears, and I concentrate on the rhythm of my cock stroking in and out of her wet heat, but it’s not enough. Not this time. In this moment, I am compelled to mark her—to make her truly mine.

“Paige,” I rasp. “Let me claim you.”

My mouth closes over the sensitive skin of her shoulder next to her collarbone. I suck at her skin, kneading it with my tongue. She tenses and then relaxes against me, rocking herself harder against me. Her walls clench around my cock, and I know she’s close to losing herself.

“Do it,” she tells me.

I tangle a hand in her hair, pulling her head back so our eyes meet. Still, I don’t stop or slow as I continue to fuck her. “Tell me I can mark you.”

“Mark me, Aries.” Her breathless words are music to my ears.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

I pull her against me once more, slamming into her over and over as my own orgasm builds. Then my mouth is on her neck, seeking the sensitive flesh I so desperately want to taste. My teeth scrape her skin, and my body shudders. My knees threaten to buckle, thanks to the overwhelming pleasure ripping through me, and my dragon responds instantly.

Enormous wings shoot from my back, my dark scales tingling then shuddering as their sensitive nerves are stroked by the brush of Paige’s fingers. My wings fold open, filling the room and brushing the walls as they expand fully, using the air beneath and around them to keep us both upright.

Scales coat my shoulders and arms. The feel of Paige’s skin against them only adds to my pleasure, and I thrust harder and faster against her tight walls. Inside my mouth, my teeth elongate, becoming more dragon than man. My sharpened teeth press against Paige’s throat, finally breaking the skin so that her blood hits my tongue. The bite is another kind of pleasure—a relief from longing for her all these weeks.

Mine.

At last.

My orgasm slams into me, and I hear Paige cry out at the same moment as we’re both flung over the edge into ecstasy. With her blood on my tongue, a growl rips from my lips as my dragon surges inside me, both he and I finally satisfied in the claiming of our one true mate. Our queen. Our destiny.

Chapter19

Paige

Mate.

My shoulder is still a bit sore from where Aries marked me, but I couldn’t care less. He is mine. I am his. And even though we’ve been together more times than I can count over the past few weeks, last night was absolute perfection.

Having Aries inside me while his wings, fully extended, held us both upright—not to mention the stinging pleasure of his bite—will easily be one of the most memorable moments of my life. Not to mention the change I have felt every second since. Aries calls it a mate bond, but it feels more like an internal GPS system. I’d already been so attuned to him that I could practically feel when he was nearby, but now, that awareness is even stronger. I can also feel his emotions, especially when they’re high. Like last night. His pleasure was off the charts, and the moment it hit me, it sent me flying over the edge of my own ecstasy.

If that’s how future sex will go, I am already looking forward to the rest of my life with my sexy dragon king.

Despite all the obstacles still in our path, the smile on my face hasn’t faded, even as I sit here at my desk facing what is likely one of the most daunting tasks I’ve ever handled. Replacing Tawny as a council member. Oliver said I could do it. That I have the ability to force the library’s hand at choosing someone else, which should be even easier now that the woman is...no longer living, but so far, nothing I’ve tried has worked.

I’ve spoken to the library—both out loud and in my head.
