She couldn’t help but admire the sight around her. It was so different from being on a hippogryph. The ride was smoother, and they were so much higher. The majestic mountain rose up from the earth like a giant’s back. The jagged peaks were veiled in mist, and lush forests cascaded down its slopes. From this height, it seemed even more grand and daunting than she’d imagined. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of insignificance compared to the vastness of nature that spread out below her. It was like peering into a secret world that she was now part of.
She felt the wind flow through her hair, and she took in a deep breath of its freeing freshness. She felt such freedom. Her soul felt incredibly alive in that moment. She looked out in the distance toward Elysia and then farther past it to where the Black Ice Pack was.
“Lee, do you think we can visit them? I really miss my brothers,” Reiya whispered quietly, unsure if he could hear her because of how quietly she spoke.
“Yes, Reiya. We can visit them soon. How about in a couple of days? After we get the deity council stuff situated?”
“Really? We can? Are you going to let me ride you there?” Reiya grinned and felt his gentle vibrations under her.
“Yes, baby. Not having to hide anymore opens up a lot for us.” Lee smiled inwardly. He would grant her as many wishesas possible. There might be demons after her, but he could get her to safety quick enough. He could protect her better this way, too. Though, he was hoping to bring Xander with them as well. Because of his connection with Reiya, it would be safer to keep the two of them together.
She absentmindedly rubbed her hands on the scales below her in very gentle, delicate motions. She watched as they came lower to the ground, but instead of landing, he flew into the large opening at the top of the castle. Reiya slid off of him and he shifted back into his human self. He turned, looking at her with dark, lustful eyes.
“What we didn’t take into account, my dear, sweet mate, is how you straddled over me in a dress would mean that you would only have your lacey thong as a barrier between us.” He grabbed her wrist and tugged her to follow him as he slowly walked backward. “And after you marked me earlier, I’m afraid I can’t wait any longer.” His voice became raspy as he pulled her into his arms, shutting their bedroom door. “I need you now, Reiya.”
“Well then, what are you waiting for?” Reiya twisted his hair into her fingers, playing with the nape of his neck.
A low growl rippled through him as he lifted her to the bed. He eagerly discarded their clothes, his fingers fumbling with buttons and clasps in his haste. His hands traced the curves of her body, his touch igniting a fiery desire within them both. With a fierce need, he pulled her against him, the warmth of their skin melding together as they tumbled onto the bed.
Their lips collided with a fiery intensity, not just physically, but passionately and emotionally. The heat between them radiated through their bodies, igniting a spark that seemed to consume them both. It was more than just a physical act; it was a deep connection that was pulling them together.
Power surged out of him, radiating from his body in the form of extreme heat, one that both burned her and made her crave more. His kisses melted her skin as he crashed into her with a ferocity that left her breathless. His teeth sank into her bottom lip, gripping and demanding more from her as he devoured her mouth with his searing tongue. She gasped and moaned in response, electrified by the intensity of his touch. His hand roamed over her body, wildly, not able to get enough. His touch sent electrifying shocks through her, igniting a fire that consumed her whole being. With one hand gripping her side, he cupped her breast with the other, teasing and tormenting until she cried out hoarsely, each touch and kiss leaving them both gasping for air. But it wasn’t enough. She needed more, craved more as her body begged for release. Desperately grinding against him, she showed him exactly what she wanted, but he wouldn’t give it to her yet.
With a growl, he lifted himself and slowly traced a trail of kisses down her body. His lips and tongue traced a trail of fire across her skin, the heat of his breath raising goosebumps in its wake as he enjoyed her. As he reached her inner thigh, he inhaled deeply, taking in her intoxicating scent. With a deliberate slowness, he traced his tongue upward, savoring the taste of her skin. And then he found himself buried in her wet folds, attacking her center with an urgency that matched the fiery passion coursing through his veins.
She let out a sharp gasp of pleasure and her fingers instinctively tangled in his soft hair, tugging and pulling as he continued to lap at her. His hand moved over her sensitive clit, expertly rubbing and teasing it eagerly. With a low growl, he thrust deeper inside of her, creating delicious vibrations that made her body arch and buck against him in wild abandon. Each movement sent waves of pleasure coursing through her, building toward an explosive climax.
She cried out his name as he continued to lap at her, her walls trembling and gripping at his tongue. The sensation was so intense, she felt her insides clench and ripple around him. His hand was vigorously rubbing circles over her clit as he began to hum into her.
Her skin tasted like warm nectar, and he drank her up greedily, his licking becoming more insistent. His free hand reached under her, gripping her butt and holding her firmly against his mouth. He could feel her getting closer and began to slow his movements, teasing her. His beautiful fairy had played a lot of games with him before, and this was his sensual payback.
Slowly he lapped his tongue over her as he quit rubbing her clit. He listened to her whimper as she bucked against him.
“Lee,” she panted, pulling his hair.
Finally, he pulled away. He kissed his way up her stomach, stopping to nip at her nipples before reaching her lips once more. Their kiss was a deep, demanding collision of tongues, a battle of dominance. His hips ground against hers, his erection rubbing against her sensitive core, begging for entrance.
With a growl, he picked her up and pinned her against the wall, his hardness pressing into her damp entrance. She arched her back, moaning into his mouth, her nails digging into his shoulders. Slowly, he lowered her down, the head of his erection teasing her sensitive core. Feeling her bottom squirm against him, he slowly moved to tease her opening more before finally thrusting inside her, filling her completely. She cried out as his contact sent her over the edge. Her body shook with the force of her climax, and she leaned her head back against the wall. Her moans echoed through the room, her breath coming in sharp gasps as she braced her hands against his shoulders. He began to move against her, lifting her body and slamming it back down onto him.
She felt the hardness of his member digging into her core, almost punishingly, but in a way that made her crave more. She bit her lip to keep from crying out as he stretched and filled her, feeling every inch of him claiming her. His hips bucked against her as he controlled the tempo of their lovemaking. His strong arms held her against him tightly, his lips forcefully inhaling her nipple.
He growled low in his throat, his hips barreling faster and harder against hers. She felt the heat of his skin against hers, burning her up with passion.
“Lee ...” She panted his name, her eyes dark with desire as she watched him.
He looked up at her, his eyes filled with lust as he slid her up and down his length. He watched the pleasure reach her face with every thrust, her soft moans and whimpers sending him close to the edge. He felt her tighten around him as she reached her peak, and he released his own. He spilled his seed inside her, pumping and riding out their highs. She leaned forward and sagged against him. He stepped back and laid on the bed, keeping their bodies connected.
Slowly, he slid her body off him and laid her at his side, where he began to pepper her face with soft, intimate kisses. The connection between them was completely different … almost like night and day. The mate bond was pulsing wildly and with a new strength.
Reiya closed her eyes, savoring his gentle touches. He was leaving feather-light kisses over her, softly licking the mark on her neck and tucking her hair away from her face. The moment was intense, the tingling sensations fiercer but in a good way. Every touch from him ignited something deeper inside her. And she could feel him connected to a part of her she never had before.
“Reiya,” Lee called out, his tone gentle.
“Mmm?” she answered lazily.
“It was either you making me your prince or you marking me, or maybe both, but one of them really changed things between us. And in a dangerously better way.” Lee chuckled into her hair as he thought about their extreme intimacy.
“That was more intense for you too? In a good way, though.” Reiya peeked up at him through squinted eyelids.
