"I did run from him," I whispered as small flashes of my memory returned. "He didn't want me. He didn't want our mate bond.”
Drayven let out a low rumble, "Don't fucking remind me. I was seconds away from ripping his throat out, but then I felt you calling to me. If it wasn't for that, he'd be dead."
"Holy shit." Everything slammed back into me, my eyes widening and my heart beating wildly. I explained in a rush, "I was taken. I was sitting by a tree outside of camp, and I think...this is going to sound crazy, but someone grabbed me and pulled me into...Well, I'm not sure what you would call it. It felt like my body was being morphed and squeezed, and a lot of nausea came over me before I blacked out. How is that possible?"
"That's a question that I would like answers to as well," Drayven admitted roughly, dropping his hand from my chin. He sighed heavily as he leaned against my headboard.
"This is so messed up," I said and frowned, curling against his chest, trying desperately to remember any details I was missing, but it was like my brain was fuzzy or drugged. Everything was hazy and slow, convincing me to close my eyes once again and give in to this moment instead of overthinking it.
"Princess, we are going to find you. I fucking promise. I can't..." Drayven trailed off and pulled me onto his lap so I was straddling him, and despite the fact that he was clearly hard beneath me, the tone of this dream was vastly different than the one in the carriage. Shit, we had come so far from then, and now, instead of just heat in his eyes, I could see the love there, making me feel strong despite this situation.
"You can't what?" I asked breathily, knowing that this was a precarious situation we were in, but I couldn't ignore how good he felt beneath my core, pressing into me and reminding me of his desire for me.
He leaned forward to rest his forehead against mine, and his voice cracked, "I can't lose you."
My lips opened in shock at the depth of emotion that laced those four words and rocked me to my core. His hands found my hips and gripped them tightly as he gruffly said, "I still have so much to make up for. I caused you so much pain, and I will be working for the rest of our devildamned lives to fix that. But I need you, Princess. I need to replace all of those bad memories with such incredible ones that will eclipse the old ones completely. I need you to know that your heart is forever safe with me. I promise to never allow it to crack again."
Holy hell.This man...He had said he loved me before, but I don't think I quite understood the depths of his feelings until now. It was rolling off of him in waves. His fear for my safety was so strong it was almost tangible.
Unable to stop myself, I leaned forward and kissed him fiercely. One of his hands trailed up to wrap around the back of my neck as he teased my mouth open with his tongue and caused a tremble to work its way through my body.
I pulled back to look at him, and the hunger in his gaze had me gasping as he picked me up and rolled off the bed, holding my core firmly to his hard-on as he backed me up to the wall, trapping me.Shit.I couldn’t even count the number of times I’d imagined this.
"You're my everything, Princess," he breathed out before his lips captured mine once more. My body trembled with need as the dull throbbing between my legs turned into an incessant ache demanding relief.
I pushed at his chest until he pulled back, then I attempted to pull his shirt off as I pleaded, "Please. We don't know how much time we have left in this dream together."
His eyes narrowed as his chest rumbled at the concept of anyone stopping this, "What do you want, Princess?"
My breathing was becoming rapid as my own desire coursed through me. "Need, Drayven. I need you to make me come. I need this moment with you before it's all ripped away. I need to remember this moment with you when I wake up."
I knew I wasn't wearing anything under the nightgown because I could feel the light scraping of his pants against my core. He helped me pull his shirt off, and my hands immediately gripped his back. I dragged my nails down his skin lightly as he reached for the waistband of his pants between my legs.
His cock sprang free and lined up with my entrance. His fingers delved into my folds, finding me beyond wet, as he circled my clit and captured my lips again. The kiss turned primal as our teeth clashed, and I bit his lip and groaned, "Now."
He dropped me to my feet suddenly and spun me around so that my hands were flat against the stone wall. Pulling my hips back, he bent me over, and I felt the thick tip of his cock in warning before he pushed himself into me with one swift thrust of his hips.
Oh fuck.
I moaned as he filled me, and while I thought I would have a moment to adjust, he immediately set a fast pace that made me feel like I was gasping for air and flying through the stars at the pleasure that rocked me.
His groans of pleasure made my walls clench around his cock as I moaned my ecstasy. There was something so fucking hot about hearing his groans and the slap of his hips against my ass as he filled me completely.
"Princess, you feel so damned good," he growled out as his hips drove into me over and over again until I felt myself spiraling into oblivion.
Reaching down between my legs, I brushed my finger over my clit, knowing I would come undone within seconds and moaned, "Come in me, Dray."
"Not until you—" his words were cut off as my walls clenched around him and I cried out his name, my fingers circling over my clit and driving me over the edge.
He grunted, his hips continuing to buck into me furiously and his grip turning almost bruising as he buried his face against my neck. I couldn’t even tell you how long the man kept that pace up, my entire body broken into a heat flush and every nerve ending lit up.
The feel of his massive body caging and pressing my smaller one was so hot, the dominance that he naturally exerted filling the space as he filled me. I swear to the devil, this man was fucking me like he had been wanting to his entire life, like we had no time left, which probably wasn’t far from the truth. I felt my eyes nearly roll to the back of my head as he angled his hips a different way, causing him to hit a white-hot point of pleasure and pain.
I exploded, my climax pulling him over the edge as he buried himself inside of me, his cum filling me up as I closed my eyes, the brick cool against my face. We stayed that way for a few moments, breathing heavily and calming our racing hearts.Holy hell.
"I'm coming for you, Ama," he vowed as he pulled out of me and yanked me back against his chest, his breath hot against my neck as he peppered the skin with kisses.
I wanted to make a joke about how he just had, but I knew it wasn't the time or place, especially since his voice had such a heavy and serious tone to it.
