Page 44 of The Fire Dragon's Mate
I peeked around him, saw no one, and let him undress me. As soon as I was naked, I hopped right into the small pool of water and immediately sighed as the heat enveloped me up to my shoulders. Cighyss dropped in behind me, and we just relaxed against each other for a while.
I’d wanted to return so that I could replace the bad memories with good ones. To banish the pain and ugliness that those men had caused and everything that had come afterward. I turned around in Cighyss’s arms, stared for a moment at his beautiful face and curious grin, and then kissed him thoroughly.
His strong hands wandered down to cup my ass and pull me upward, so I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He moaned as his cock slid free between uslike a warm, thick rod full of blissful promises. I ground my hips against him, rubbing our lengths together as he reached down and teased my hole.
“Take me,” I mumbled against his lips. “Just like this. Right here.”
Cighyss raised his wings and spread them over us like a shield, blocking the pale sunlight and anyone’s view of us completely. I could’ve sworn his eyes glowed, but him maneuvering his cock down and around to press it into me had me closing my eyes and moaning in pleasure. He was so big, but I was, as always, desperate to have him.
He said nothing as he fucked his way deeper inside me, and I was mesmerized by the lustful look on his face as he watched me in return. Helpless mewls of pleasure bled from my lips as I panted and received him, and he growled so low that I could only feel the vibrations of it. He grabbed me under my arms and moved me up and down on his cock, the two of us churning the steaming water like a stormy sea.
Suddenly, Cighyss manhandled me around to stand facing away from him, but I didn’t mind in the least. In a moment, he was easing back inside me, wrapping his arms around me, and growling against the back of my neck. I reached back to hold his head and his ass, my voice rising as I wailed from the sharp, building pleasure as he fucked me now in earnest.
“My mate,” he rumbled in my ear, “will you come for me?”
“Y-yes. Oh gods, always!”
And I did. While he fucked me through it, I came with only the water caressing me. My breath caught and my body shook, and then Cighyss came, pumping even more ecstasy into me. My cries turned to moans as I sagged in his hold even as I felt like I floated away.
“I love you, Declan.”
“Mmm, love you. Oh, Cighyss…”
I basked, just breathing, and he held me. He kept his cock buried to the hilt within me and drew patterns on my skin that kept making me shiver. We’d had every opportunity over the past five months to take our time loving each other, but this felt special because of where we were and what we’d accomplished in this place. I floated on more than the aftereffects of my dragon’s cum.
Suddenly, someone called out from below, making both of us startle. “Cighyss! There’s a ship!”
Well, that killed the mood. “Gods damn it all, what now?” I grouched as Cighyss bounded up out of the pool.
“What flags?” Cighyss hollered back as he helped me climb out of the water.
I hid behind him and fought to get my trousers on as someone called back, “White only!”
So someone was sailing into the bay with peaceful intentions. Considering we’d heard from every country, I hadn’t been expecting any visitors. The matter was settled, wasn’t it?
“What could anyone want of us now?” I said as I stomped into my boots and reached for my shirt.
“Trade?” Cighyss guessed. “To join us?”
“Oh. Well, alright.” I hadn’t considered that anyone would want to befriend us, but I supposed that was entirely possible. We’d shaken up the entire world, and yet that might not mean that everyone was upset with us.
Fairly decent in my damp clothes, I held Cighyss’s hand and went with him closer to shore. The ship was ornate in design but not large and had only three guns on its port side. About the size of the merchant ship we’d kept, it looked a bit more like a pleasure vessel with golden tassels decorating the rails and a gilded figurehead. Clearly, someone wealthy had come tovisit us.
“Would you look at this,” Severn said nearby, “I do believe that’s my cousin.”
“Your cousin?” I asked, remembering that Severn was from Muidel.
He nodded, grinning slyly. “And his paramour.”
Now I took true interest as two very finely dressed men and four guardsmen rowed a launch from their ship to our shore. One of the nobles stumbled getting out of the boat, and the other steadied him. A guardsman hollered up asking permission to approach.
“Come along then, Sol!” Severn hollered, and the one man snapped his head around to stare up at him. “You, too, Mars. Don’t dawdle!”
Neither man had an easy time of coming up the hill in their fancy heeled shoes, but I appreciated the fact that they’d dressed well for us. A little part of me wished I could dress better, but as I was surrounded by princes also in common garb, I tried not to mind.
All six of them fell to their knees when they were within feet of Cighyss. My heartbeat quickened as I watched, wondering what this could possibly be.
“Honored leaders of Dragonia, I am Lord Solomon, Duke of Deifillia in the Kingdom of Muidel, here to ask for sanctuary so that I…” He seemed to lose his breath as a tremble went through him. But then he rallied and said firmly, “So that I may live my life in peace and acceptance with… With the man I love.”
