He released my hair and I fell forward, my mouth greedily thirsting for Caden. When my lips wrapped around him again, Azel returned both hands to my hips and fucked me even harder.
I screamed with my mouth stuffed full. Somehow my hand found Caden’s balls and massaged them, wound up and tight against the base of his shaft.
“Oh fuck, Nadi.” He reached for my breasts again, rolling the stiff peaks of my nipples between his fingers. “Yes, like that…”
His breath paused and he grew impossibly stiff, then his cock flexed and his warm, salty release coated my tongue. I lapped him up as best I could with Azel still pounding me.
“You’re incredible,” Caden panted as my cheek rested on his thigh, his sky-blue eyes meeting mine. “So beautiful.”
I only had a moment to smile at him before Azel flipped me over onto my back. A starry sky and predatory red eyes now filled my vision.
“I haven’t seen enough of your gorgeous face while I fuck you,” he grinned, pulling my hips into position before resuming his thrusts.
The new angle flooded me with fresh, intense sensations, shooting me to a higher place among the stars. As our hot, rough, animalistic dance took me closer to the edge, I focused on those red eyes hovering above me.
“Bond with me,” I panted. “Please.”
His eyes narrowed and his thrusts paused. “Nadi—”
“Don’t stop,” I begged. “Please, Azel. Give me all of you.” I brought his mouth down to mine in a rough, bruising kiss. “I love you.”
“Nadi, are you sure? I told you—”
“Yes, I know. And I don’t care. I’ll deal with the visions.” I held his face, staring at my red reflection in his eyes. “When you’re away from me, I want to feel that you’re there. I couldn’t stand not knowing if you were alive or dead. I love you as much as I love him,” I looked up at Caden, watching us quietly, “and I want the same bond between us.”
Azel cupped the back of my head, lifting it off the ground gingerly. “This is forever,” he whispered. “Even after our bodies are gone and our souls become one with the sky, we’ll still be bonded. I want this more than anything but are you absolutely sure, Nadi?”
“Yes.” I tilted my chin up to capture his mouth again. “Yes, a thousand times yes.” I turned to look at Caden, reaching for his hand. “And I would have said yes to you too, if we had the choice. I love you, Caden.”
“I love you, Nadiyah, my beautiful dragon woman.” He brought my fingers to his lips. “And I can’t wait to spend forever with you.”
The most wonderful feeling of warmth and contentment seemed to shoot up my arm straight to my heart. It was so beautiful and pure, it brought tears to my eyes just as Azel began to move again.
He lowered his body over mine, wrapping around me in a strong embrace as he resumed his thrusts at an angle that sent direct jolts of pleasure to my clit. I bit my lip to hold in my scream and clawed at his back. My pleasure had been building for so long since the first one, it would take no time at all. And from the way he groaned as he filled and emptied me, it wouldn’t be long for him either.
I felt the bond began to open just as my pleasure reached its peak. It was impossible to describe as anything but a slow, gentle unfolding of my body, mind and soul. I felt vulnerable and exposed, but so cared for that it didn’t frighten me at all. In the full crashing of my orgasm, and as Azel spilled his release into me, the bond opened up wide like a channel between us.
We held each other tightly as everything we felt, physically and emotionally, cycled between us. I lost track of where I ended and he began. His pleasure was mine and my love was his. Even when our bodies untangled, I still felt him in my heart, my bones, everywhere.
Caden cradled my head in his lap and Azel rested on the grass next to me, his hand on my belly. Words were unnecessary. We all felt. We allknew. And no matter what tested us, I swore right then to the Dragon God these bonds would never be severed.

“The royal armyknows about the mountain pass below Dragon Peak,” Azel pointed at Captain Aron’s map spread out on the table. “They’re marching straight for it and hoping to to catch us unaware on that northeastern side. Because your men aren’t used to the altitude, Captain Aron suggested leaving the same way you came in, through the southern pass.”
“Going around and flanking them on one side,” I mused, taking in the topography laid out before me. “It’s risky, especially considering our numbers now. They could surround us easily.”
“That’s why my Dragon Riders are waiting for them at the peak,” Azel smiled. “The royals will send scouts in all directions and no doubt see the rebels coming. But they won’t see the dragons until it’s too late.”
Curled up and looking adorable in a pile of fur blankets on the bed, Nadi smiled. “I don’t know anything about battle tactics but it sounds like a good plan to me. They’ll be frantic and confused, trying to fight you on the ground while dragons take them out from overhead.”
I rubbed my jaw, studying the map intently as I ran every possible scenario through my head as Captain Aron taught me. Without him here, I had to be sure we enacted the best strategy possible.
“If I may make a suggestion?” I lifted my eyes to Azel’s, his red eyes catching the firelight as if he would turn into a dragon himself at any moment.
“Please do.” He sounded sincere, without an ounce of bruised ego.
