“I don’t think it’s a good idea if—”
Henry fluttered his eyes. “Please, Kai? More.”
Damn. Kai locked his fingers onto Henry’s hips and thrust in hard. A sharp, wordless cry escaped Henry, but he didn’t ask Kai to stop. If anything, he looked even more eager, which spurred Kai on. The slap of skin on skin was loud in the room, but were dwarfed by Henry’s moaning and pleading.
He rubbed Kai’s arms, stroking his fingers over the skin. “Please, Kai? I need….”
“What do you need?” Kai whispered.
“You. I need you. Please, show me what this feeling is that has me so blissful.”
Anything. Kai would give Henry whatever he wanted. He drew out slightly, then shoved back in, repeating the action a bit harder and faster each time. Through it all, his entire body was set ablaze by the heat of Henry’s channel and the molten gaze raking over him. A familiar tingle in his balls let Kai know that this round was nearly done.
A few more thrusts, then a gush of fluid burst from his tip, filling Henry, who reached up and locked his hands around the back of Kai’s neck, pulling him deeper. Kai reached down and wrapped a hand around Henry’s cock and giving it one, two, three tugs and then, with a roar, Henry erupted, sending spurtafter spurt to his chest, chin, face, and even going so far as to splatter Kai and the wall. Then Kai withdrew, his spend spilling out of Henry and onto the bedsheets. It would be a mess, but he was only too happy to clean it up.
After a nap.
“That was amazing,” Henry whispered in Kai’s ear. “Never before have I been so close to anyone.” He ran a hand over Kai’s chest. “I can feel your heart.”
“It beats for our family, my love. There shall be only us from this day forward. After we are married, we shall find a home for we three and fill our days with happiness.”
“That sounds good,” Henry answered, which was then punctuated by a yawn. “So sleepy.”
“It has been a very long and busy day. Sleep and in the morning we’ll see about changing the wet sheets.” He nuzzled Henry’s neck. “I love you, Henry Cabot. Always and forever.”
“Always and forever,” Henry repeated, then his eyes fluttered shut and he drifted toward sleep, following the man—the dragon—who’d claimed his heart.
Chapter 14
The next morning, Henry awoke and headed for the coffeepot. One thing he’d learned from his sojourns to the past was that coffee made waking up much easier. He wasn’t surprised to find Kai, hunched over the table, working on something already. Many nights his husband would get a flash of inspiration and awaken in the early hours to work on it. When he stepped into the room and made his way toward the workstation he noted Kai coming rising and coming toward him.
“Henry, my love, what are you doing?” Kai asked, a moment before he brushed a kiss over Henry’s neck. Even now, fifteen years on, Henry trembled when Kai did that.
“I’m writing our story down,” he said. “I wanted Dmitra to have it for her remembrances after I pass.”
Kai chuckled. “Our physicians will ensure you have many years remaining, you know.”
Just as they did for mother, who was hale and hearty. Father’s sword resided at her home, where he could keep a protective eye on her. He found it interesting how she could sit an talk with him for hours, even though he couldn’t answer. Henry and Merry thought it was good that they were still so deeply in love.
Henry had found he loved traveling to different times and places. He’d made one such sojourn, Arissa and Kai, along with Kai’s brothers, went to visit Earth in the twenty-first century. Henry was amazed at how different things were. Although Kai told him there were still places similar to Innernook, the bulk seemed to be towering buildings, throngs of people, and giant metal birds which screamed through the skies, causing Henryto drop to his knees and cry out in fear the first time one flew overhead, the sound deafening. Even louder than Kai’s dragon. Only kind words from Kai and Arissa, and the brothers telling their own stories with visiting different worlds made him feel less stupid. Henry vowed never to return to that time period.
Maybe.
Still, he and his family had settled in on Shilan, made a home for themselves, and found friendship among this plane’s people. Or, in Dmitra’s case, found love.
“Henry? Where has your mind gone?”
He jerked upright to find Kai smirking at him.
“I’m sorry. What did you say?”
“Our physicians will see to your health, just as they do to all our people. You will live a long, happy life.”
“Yes, I’m aware, but I had no idea what else to get Dmitra for her wedding. I find it amazing that our daughter will be marrying one of your brothers. Especially not Kenric. I always thought he was hard and angry.”
“That’s because he is. Well, to everyone but Dmitra. Our child seems to have tamed the great beast, if his besotted expression every time he sees her is evidence of it.” He kissed Henry’s lips. “Our daughter will make a fine queen one day.”
Just the thought of it scared Henry. What had Dmitra’s mother seen for her future? Would she be pleased? He had to think so. “I must know. If Dmitra and Kenric have children, will they be human or dragon?”
