Page 26 of Claimed By His Omega Dragon's Fire
I touch the center of Aiden’s chest. “My heart and my dragon are in agreement. They’re both so happy, Aiden.”
“I’m happy too. Can I take you somewhere? I want to show you something.”
“Of course. I trust you.”
Aiden takes my hand and leads me through the house. I have no idea where we’re going but I’m surprised when we step through his backdoor into the yard.
“It’s not too far. I promise.”
With my hand in Aiden’s, we walk away from his yard towards the outskirts of town. There’s a forest there with big, towering trees.
“Can I ask you about the baby? How did you know? What are dragon pregnancies like?”
I give his hand a squeeze. “I had a feeling all week but I wasn’t ready to think about it until I was back here. We both saw my little bump, it’ll grow quickly because it’s an egg inside of me. The egg will come out soon and we’ll have to take care of it for a few months before it hatches.”
Aiden brings my hand to his mouth, kissing my knuckles. “I can’t wait to see you even rounder.”
“Of course. Stereotypical alpha behavior,” I say with a warm chuckle, letting him know I’m teasing him. “I’m not sure how many eggs are in there but I know one for sure.”
“How many is usual?”
“Anywhere between one and four usually. My brothers and I were a clutch of three.”
Aiden looks down at me with wide eyes. “Okay,” he says slowly. “We might have to think about finding a bigger house then.”
I can’t help but giggle. “One step at a time. We don’t even know how many are baking yet.”
“Right. Yeah. Of course.” Aiden walks into a small clearing, completely surrounded by trees. My skin pebbles with goosebumps as I step into the clearing, the warm wash of magic running over me. “This is a very special place,” Aiden explains, pulling his shirt over his head.
“Okay,” I say softly, my eyes devouring his exposed chest. Are we about to fuck in the forest? I’m not opposed but it does seem kind of a strange thing to propose right after finding out about the pregnancy.
“Once a year, I have a magic user come and enchant this part of the forest. It keeps us safe to shift without worrying about anyone seeing us.”
“Oh,” I breathe out. It only takes a moment for me to realize what we’re about to do before I start stripping out of my own clothes.
My inner dragon rumbles with approval. It’s been far too long since I’ve allowed him to come out and play, to stretch his wings and enjoy himself. There aren’t many places where I can just shift and fly around. Humans would lose their shit if they saw a huge red dragon overhead.
“How big is the safe area? Can I fly?”
“Yes, it’s about a mile in every direction.”
“Holy shit,” I say, excitement welling up inside of me. I almost trip as I get out of my pants and boxers. Faster than I thought possible, I’m completely naked and taking off in a run. I reach for my inner dragon, the other half of my soul, allowing him to take over.
One moment, I’m a man running through the forest and the next, I’m a large, red dragon, running on four legs and stretching out my wings. I let out a snort, feeling heat within me pour out in puffs of smoke through my nostrils.
In this form, I’m more aware of my body, including things within it.
One egg. There’s one egg within my belly.
I carefully turn around to face my mate. He’s still in his boxers, struck frozen as he gazes up at me. I’m not the biggest dragon, especially compared to my alpha brothers, but I still tower over my mate.
I get down onto my belly, laying my snout onto the forest floor. Aiden walks to me, putting a hand on my snout. He leans forward and hugs my nose. I take in a deep breath, my chest rumbling with satisfaction as his scent invades my nose. In this form, Aiden somehow smells even better.
Opening my mouth, I lick Aiden’s chest just to taste him. Oh my gods, he tastes downright divine.
“Oh my gods,” Aiden says, pushing himself away from me and looking down at himself. Sure, he’s covered in dragon spit now, but he’s never smelled better to me. “Brock, you’re so beautiful, but if you lick me again, I’m going to get the most confusing boner of my life.”
I snort, rings of smoke coming out of my nose and surrounding Aiden.
