It was powerful, intoxicating, and it rendered me completely helpless. More slick poured from me as thin trails of cum painted my belly. Diamant found that alluring and shifted to lick it straight from my skin. That had me coming again and writhing for more.
“Fuck me!” I demanded, gasping for air. “I want my dragon in me, now!”
I couldn’t believe I would make such a demand, but when Diamant laughed, the sound almost sinister, and shifted back to spread my legs wider and grasp my hips, I didn’t care.
He wasn’t gentle or easy with me. I didn’t want him to be. If I was destined to be a hole for my dragon to pleasure himself in, then I wanted our mating to be as raw and primal as possible.
I cried out as Diamant first breeched me, relishing the moment of pain as my body adjusted to his intrusion. He seemed somehow bigger than the night before and his thrusts more demanding. I gripped the bedcovers above my head and cried out as he pounded deeper and deeper into me.
I felt the swell of acceptance and excitement in mywomb moments before the head of Diamant’s cock pushed right past any resistance it might have put up. There was no resistance at all, really. As much of a fighter as I was, my traitorous womb blossomed like a flower in spring and let my dragon mate in without so much as a pinch of defense.
It was the most amazing sensation I’d ever felt. I closed my eyes and cried out as I felt my beloved’s seed spill into me, filling me with life and pleasure. We were one in that moment, pulsing with carnal delight that was so good it felt as though the old me melted away and a new man formed in its place.
Greater still was the sensation of a door between me and Diamant bursting wide as our souls entwined. I was vaguely aware of him bending over me as his impossibly large knot formed, locking us together, and biting my shoulder at the junction of my neck.
Even more pleasure flooded through me, but it was my mate’s pleasure as well as mine. Every part of me was alight with magnificence as one, continuous orgasm crashed through me. It was so all-encompassing that I wasn’t sure where it began or ended.
“Leo,” Diamant moaned above me, rocking into me over and over as the last of his orgasm faded, his balls completely empty. “My Leo.”
I replied with a wordless sound of acceptance and despair. I wasn’t sure that I was his Leo anymore. I was different, changed. I could feel the spark of something inside me, feel the expansion of my womb as new life doubled and grew with lightning speed within me.
As exhaustion pulled me hard into sleep, I came close to weeping with the knowledge that my dragon mate hadn’t just taken my heat, he’d bred me.
I wasn’tcertain how long I slept. I’d never known sleep so deep or so peaceful before. When I awoke and blinked to take in my surroundings, I saw that I was in the same bed, only the right way around. I could feel Diamant’s body behind me, almost wrapped around me, and felt the humidity of his breath against my shoulder. His spicy, alpha scent encompassed me, soothing me on a soul-deep level.
But it was the distinct awareness of him on a profound level that startled me the most.
“We’ve bonded,” I said groggily, reaching up to touch the slightly painful spot on my neck where he’d bitten me. My hand came away with a small collection of perfect diamonds that I dropped into the sheets.
“Yes, we have,” Diamant said, snuggling me as if I were some soft toy that he loved.
I both adored the feeling and frowned at it.
Then the greater reality hit me.
Heart in my throat, I lowered my hand to my belly. Sure enough, it was slightly round and I could feel something solid within me.
“It’s alright,” Diamant said, feeling my distress. He laid his hand over mine on my belly. “All fated mates conceive during their first heat together. I don’t know of a single instance where it isn’t true.”
I let out a sudden sound of despair and frustration. “It’s not who I am,” I said, sounding as pitiful as I felt and hating it. “I’m not some docile papa. I never wanted to have babies to begin with.”
I half expected Diamant to be angry with me. It was his child, his egg, I was carrying, after all. Instead, my mate radiated understanding.
“I’ve never imagined myself as a sire either. My life has been too frivolous for that. We will manage this together,” he said. “I will not be cloying and say that you will love our child as soon as it is birthed, but I do know that you have a good, open heart.”
“I’m a fighter,” I said, struggling not to weep. “That is who I am. I don’t know who I am anymore like this.”
“You are my beloved,” Diamant said, kissing my cheek and neck and as much of me as he could reach. “You are my fated mate and the bravest, strongest omega I have ever known. You make me a better alpha.”
“I don’t want the person who I have worked so hard to be taken away from me,” I breathed out, battling against the despair of an unknown life that I would be forced to live but that I didn’t choose.
“We will face this together,” Diamant said. “We will?—”
His promise to me was cut short by an urgent knock on the door.
“My lord,” a male servant’s voice came from the other side. “You are needed downstairs at once. Prince Selle and Prince Tovey are here seeking Prince Leo with urgent news.”
That was enough to startle me out of my stupor. I sat up along with Diamant and turned toward the door.
