“Yes. Yes, it is,” Selle agreed with a nod.
“But now, we should go and let the two of you rest,” Rumi said, rising from the bed. “Besides, our own dragon princes might be waiting for us in the pavilion as we speak.”
My brothers looked excited about that. I got up, setting the eggs aside for a moment so that I could say goodbye to them all and wish them well. I hoped their dragon princes were waiting for them in the pavilion. My brothers deserved real reasons to celebrate.
“They all deserve to be as happy as I am,” I said with a sigh once Rufus and I were alone in our room.
“Are you happy?” Rufus asked as he arranged the eggs on a large, round pillow at the head of the bed so that the rest of it was open for the two of us.
I walked up to him and hugged him from behind before he could rise. “I’m the happiest omega prince and dragon’s mate that has ever lived,” I said.
Rufus chuckled as he straightened and turned so that he could embrace me. “Good,” he said, then brushed his hand under my chin and tilted my face up for a kiss.
The kiss quickly deepened into something more. I felt the stirring of desire within me almost as strongly as I had when I was in heat or when I birthed the eggs. Rufus and I had fought so hard to be together. All I wanted to do now was celebrate that togetherness.
“Take me,” I whispered, gazing hungrily up at Rufus. “Claim me again and make me yours forever.”
Rufus smiled, hot and hungry. “Your every wish is my command, my beautiful mate,” he said.
He swept me off my feet, turning and laying me across the bed as he did. I glanced quickly at the eggs as he began to peel off my clothes, but I felt like they were sleeping.
As soon as Rufus had my clothes off, he rushed to rid himself of all his finery. I laughed, wriggling in anticipation as my body responded eagerly to the way he revealed himself. When he saw I enjoyed the show, he slowed down and wiggled his eyebrows at me.
I laughed. “You are incorrigible,” I said, parting my thighs a bit as my hole twitched and slick leaked from me.
“No, I am insatiable,” Rufus corrected me, throwing aside his shirt.
He hurried through the rest of his clothes and boots, then stalked over me, settling himself between my legs. I wrapped my body around him, tilting my hips up and rubbing my cock against his as he bent to capture my mouth in a kiss.
“I love you,” he said, scattering kisses over my lips and nose and cheeks. “I love you more than I thought it was possible to love.”
“And I love you,” I replied, raking my fingertips down his back. “You are my prince and my savior.”
He shook his head. “I am your slave,” he said.
My heart could have burst with joy in that moment. I surged up, grasping him behind his head and kissing him with passion. How had I gotten so lucky to be the fated mate of a dragon as wonderful as Rufus?
“Love me,” I whispered to him, relaxing my body and spreading my arms and legs, as if I were a platter of treats for him to feast on.
Rufus growled low in his throat then did just that. He kissed my lips again, then trailed his kisses down my neck to my shoulder, then lower still.
As he kissed my chest, licking and teasing my nipples, I could already feel the changes my body would undergo as I prepared to feed my babies. I didn’t know what a dragon’s papa experienced once their babies hatched, but I longed to find out. The way my nipples felt so sensitive as Rufus suckled them, each in turn, felt so good that I moaned and jerked my hips as if I might come.
Rufus left me panting for more and on the edge of orgasm as he rocked back and traced his hands down my sides. He shifted so he could kiss and nuzzle my thighs, like he had before, but without the same sense of urgency. I wasn’t in heat, which meant we could touch and kiss and learn each other’s bodies, taking as much time as we wanted.
That was exactly what we did. He kissed every part of my thighs and belly, breathing in my scent and lapping at my slick as it poured for him. Instead of entering me immediately, he flipped our positions and gave me all the time I wanted to stroke his large body and learn its taste and scent.
I loved our gentle exploration of each other, but I was hungry for so much more in no time at all.
“You said I could ride a dragon,” I said breathlessly, straddling him and holding myself above his thick cock as he gripped the base. “I don’t want to wait for my next heat to give it a try.”
“Then ride, my fiery omega,” Rufus growled, eyes glittering.
I wasted no time positioning myself, then lowered onto him, inch by glorious inch. He felt so big as my hole gave way to him. His girth filled me so perfectly that I moaned with the need to move faster and take him deeper. As soon as I felt I had my bearings, I began to bounce on him, creating the most amazing friction within me.
“Wicked omega,” Rufus growled, grasping my hips and thrusting to help us both find our pleasure.
It was amazing. I tilted my head back and closed my eyes, losing myself in the feeling of claiming my dragon. That wasn’t enough, though, and I switched to watching Rufus under me, our gazes locked together, as bliss spread and spread through us. I could feel him around me, in my body, and through our bond. The union was so perfect that with a loud moan, I started to come.
