Page 28 of Driven By Dragonblood
My humanity gave over to our dragon, and we flew onward, another town growing on the dusty horizon. Wings tucking, we dove, sweeping over buildings and houses around its perimeter, slowly moving inward, still grieving insilence, our heartache extending to the tips of our bones. While our dragon controlled our body, our other side licked emotional wounds that attempted to tear us apart limb from limb.
Perhaps I ought to return to Grandpapa and the mountains. At least some semblance of peace had been offered in our childhood home—even if it meant being alone for the centuries ahead of us.
A cool wind rippled over our wings, tinged with a hint of…
Beta.
Our heart leaped, the searing pain over our alpha momentarily quieted. I forced my human mind over my dragon’s control, seeking out the energy rising from below. Same as the night before, the tether between us strengthened as we closed in on a cul-de-sac lined by homes. The one at the circle’s end drew our focus.
We landed in front of the house and shifted into human form, naked and cloaked, my gaze roaming over the house as trembling took over my body. My attention moved toward the garage, to the set of stairs leading to a small balcony.
Yessss.
Would he turn me away as my alpha had? I bit my lip once more, refusing to spring forward as my dragon wished.
He wants us.
The energy between me and my beta swelled, and I found myself moving forward, hardly noting the wooden treads beneath my bare feet as I climbed the stairs to the balcony. The tether solidified into an almost tangible force, tightening around my soul. I could sense—physicallyfeel—my beta’s consuming desire for me.
The door flew open before I could grasp the handle, and my insides swooned at the beauty of him, the perfection of his dark hair, blue-green eyes, and freshly shaved jaw. Hissmooth, bare chest appeared chiseled from stone, lusciously bowed upper lip, and the one below full enough I wanted to sink my teeth into the soft flesh.
I could feel my beta’s desire, see it beneath the jeans, clutching at his groin, scent it in the air swirling around us—but my alpha’s true form had lusted for me in the same way.
And he’d denied us.
My eyes burned as I stood invisible on the edge of indecision over revealing myself and experiencing possible fulfillment or pain I didn’t wish to endure twofold.
Chapter 12
Jaxon
No one stood on my deck, but she was nearby. My heart pounded, sending blood pulsing straight to my dick.
Our female.
“I can’t see you, but Iknowyou’re here.” The words rasped past my lips, and I swallowed against the ache in my throat. “I can feel you.Wantyou more than my next breath.”
The air around me crackled with an energy more potent than Patrick’s. I tightened my grip on the door handle to keep myself grounded, rooted to the spot, when something inside me strained for release beyond a mere climax.
“Please show yourself,” I begged. “Prove to me I’m not fucked in the head.”
A feminine shuddered sigh whispered past my ears, and my beast moaned at the first proof I wasn’t mad.
Golden light shimmered in front of me, swirling as a gentle breeze stirred fallen leaves. Like glitter glinting in the overhead sun, she slowly materialized.
Amber eyes full of painful hope met mine. My heart criedout to soothe her more than my dick longed to fuck into her. The light of her fused fully together, bringing her entire body into focus.
Her verynakedbody—sun-kissed skin with more curves than a country road caused my blood to turn molten. Luscious, heavy breasts with tight, rosy tips made my teeth ache to bite. Her small waist led southward toward flared hips that my fingers itched to clutch. And the glistening, golden curls hiding heaven from my wandering gaze caused my mouth to water and dick to buck inside my jeans.
“You’re my golden goddess,” I stated with a rush, my pulse pounding in my ears as I stared where I wanted to bury my face to lap at her sweetness I could smell in the air.
Our female.
“Yes,” she agreed, jerking my focus back to her face.
Need.
“Yes.” Her breathless whisper and the beginnings of her smile tightened my balls against my body. She moved closer.
