Page 12 of Loving Two Dragons
ChapterNine
Lini knewthat they didn’t have time to plan a huge mating ceremony. They could worry about the party and the celebration later. The three of them were flying to a high priest who Jaggar had made arrangements with to mate themrightaway.
Lini’s dragon grew weaker by the day, and if they didn’t complete the bonding soon, she feared she would succumb to the eternal sleep. Ady had picked up on her weakness the moment they had met. Her mates were doting mates who loved her, and were as desperate as she was to get themmated.
The past few days had flown by so fast that she hadn’t even had time to notify her parents that she had found them. Her mother and fathers would be disappointed that they wouldn’t be there for the ceremony, but they could plan a party forlater.
She glanced over at Jaggar’s large dragon as he led the way. Ady’s dragon was on the other side of Jaggar. They flew together as a triad. Anything they would ever do in life would be together. Jaggar was their rock, their protector, and the base of theirtriad.
The sky was free of clouds as they headed toward the high priest’s home. Lini could see Jaggar begin to descend toward the ground, so she and Adyfollowed.
“This is exciting. I can’t wait to make our triad official,”Ada’s voice said through theirmentallink.
It had snapped into place when the three of them reached their climax together. It was like an electric charge that had went through all of them, linking themtogether.
“I love both of you, and can’t wait,” Lini replied mentally. She knew that it had only been a couple of days, but in the way of shifters, instalove was the normal. Their animals knew, and the human side of themacceptedit.
She watched Jaggar land on the ground and look up at them as they touched down on the ground next to him. He was a dark dragon, one who was powerful and fierce. He stayed in his dragon form as they shifted first. Once he was assured they were safe, he began to transform to hishumanform.
She jogged over to Lini as he shifted. She didn’t like being too far away from her mates as she reached Ady’s side. Her mate’s warm bronze skin calledtoher.
“How are you feeling?” Ady asked. Concern lined Ady’s face as Lini wrapped her arms around her, pulling her in for atighthug.
“Tired, but I’m okay,” she murmured, not wanting to let Ady go. No matter what, just the feel of her soft naked body against hers made her want her. She ran her hand down Ady’s back and ended at the swell of her ass. “I don’t think I will ever get enoughofyou.”
“Same here,” Ady murmured, pulling back and placing a small kiss to her lips. Ady cradled Lini’s face as she studied her. “We need to hurry. The bags under your eyes aren’t from our all-night lovemaking. The curse is starting totakeyou.”
“Let’s go,” Jaggar said, scooping Lini up in his arms, holding her close to his chest. She could sense the urgency in him as they began to move across thefield.
“I can walk,” she said as they quickenedtheirpace.
“Humor me,” he murmured. She tucked her head into the crook of his neck and let him carry her without anargument.
“Well, I hope the priest has clothes for us to borrow, or he’ll be mating us naked.” She laughed as she imagined what they would look like. Shifters were used to nudity. It came with being a shifter since clothes usually didn’t make it through theshifts.
“I’m sure we’re not the first dragon shifters, or shifters period, showing up wanting to be mated and be naked,”Adysaid.
They arrived on the steps of the brick home. Lini fought to keep her eyes open as she grewweaker.
“Hold on, Lini. Don’t close your eyes,” Jaggarbegged.
Ady pounded on the door, panic etched onherface.
“I’m up,” shemurmured.
The door flew open and Lini could hear muttered words as she was whisked into the home. She tried to keep her eyes open, but she couldn’t focus. She felt her body being lowered to a softchaise.
“Jaggar?” she calledout. “Ady?”
“We’re here,” Ady answered. “Hold out yourarms,Lini.”
Lini did as she was told, but she wasn’t sure why she couldn’t see clearly. She shook her head as she felt the piercing of her flesh onbotharms.
“Lini, baby, bite.” Jaggar’s voice broke through the fog of her brain. Were they doing the mating ceremony, or was shedreaming?
Her fangs descended from her gums, and she felt the soft flesh in frontofher.
Ady.
