I needed my beta’s touch?—
His energy grew restless as though he’d woken and sensed my desire.
Breath held, I tightened my grip on the fence, gaze glued to the bars of his prison.
Beta.
I swallowed hard as he came into sight, whimpering along with my inner beast.
A dim exterior light beneath my mate’s window allowed me to better appreciate his naked upper body, but even with my dragon sight, I couldn’t make out the color of his hair oreyes. He turned his head side to side as though he was aware of the supernatural connection between us, seeking me out in the dark night.
Various thoughts swept through my head, but I remained still. Invisible. Having no knowledge of his mental state or awareness of his true self, I couldn’t risk showing myself to him and having his inner dragon take over—if he possessed such strength. Shifting to his true form while inside such a building would bring it crumbling down around him.
Breath held, I noted his strong nose and full lips, a square jaw I wanted to lick and nip with my teeth as he thrust into me. A rush of wetness seeped from me, preparing the way for my mate to pierce through my maidenhead.
My beast moaned, the noise leaking past my human lips.
My beta’s head swiveled toward me as though he’d heard, his gaze settling on where I stood.
Breath held, I counted my pulsing heartbeats throbbing in my ears. The rush of heated blood sounded louder than any storm, stronger than any winds buffeting the mountain peaks back home.
Shift.
“We cannot.” I choked on the words, willing the golden scales that wished to burst over my skin to remain hidden. Teeth gritted, I stared at our beta, wanting him yet requiring him to move from my sight to keep my instincts from owning my human form.
His hand moved over his body as though in open defiance of my need for him to lessen temptation. The flare of heat in the energy linking us burned brighter. Did he touch himself? He propped his forehead on the window, shoulder hunched as though in pain, and again, I fought my inner beast’s yearning to break free of my human form, tear through the fence and walls to release my beta mate?—
His form stiffened, head tipping back.
Goose bumps erupted over my skin.
Touch.
Lower lip between my teeth, I released one hand from its hold on the fence and slid my fingertips down over the front of my leggings, finding warmth and wetness. I was also swollen, the nub at the top of my slit hardened and sensitive to the feathered touch of my fingertips. I gasped at the new sensation, my hips bucking on their own as though he thrust into me, burying against my womb.
Heat exploded like a blinding light through the energy between us, capturing my entire being up in a euphoric race to the stars. I cried out, unable to keep my lips sealed as wave after wave rippled through my body, pulsing my core where his hard length ought to be.
Teeth gritted, I barely managed to stay in human form as my first ever release burned through my blood. My womb ached for pulses of his seed in an attempt to breed me as fate intended.
Alpha.
The reminder we needed more than one mate to fulfill our destiny eased the sweetness of my climax, slowly settling reality over me like a heavy cloud.
I gasped for breath, my stare on the window as my beta shuddered.
I could imagine his groan, sensed the same weakness in my legs. Wetness coated my leggings, the sweet scent of my cum rising to fill my nose. Would he like how I smelled? Want to taste me there?
Another pulse of raw lust spasmed through my inner walls, and I whimpered, shuddering and sagging against the fence, gaze unmoving from the window and the Blood Born kept from me.
Stillness lay over my mind, the urgent yearning having been eased for the moment. But my need for him wouldreturn, stronger now that I’d experienced a small taste of what mating would be like.
My beta’s hand settled on the window as though reaching for me, causing my eyes to sting and throat to tighten.
He moved away from sight a moment later, taking a part of my heart with him.
Tomorrow.
“Yes,” I agreed, forcing my legs to stiffen and hold me upright when I desired to sink into my beta’s arms and experience true fulfillment. Having gotten a hint of what the connection would feel like between us on a deeper level, I no longer questioned whether he would choose me or not, given the chance. Together, we would seek out our alpha and claim him—this time without hindrance. We three would become one in heart, mind, and soul.
