Noel flashed him a grin over his shoulder.  If you weren t so big, I wouldn t
need so much prep.
 You can t punish me for what the goddess provided.
Noel s narrow-eyed gaze didn t reassure him at all.  Is that your defense?
 It s the only one I ve got.
 Hmm, let s see what I can do to get you ready. Noel slipped his fingers out of
his body, then turned around and crawled over Hart until he straddled Hart s thighs.
Pouring lube onto his palm, he slicked Hart up until he could move his hand up and
down with ease. Hart bucked into Noel s touch.
 Keep that up and I ll come without even touching you.
Noel shrugged.  You ll get hard again. You shifters are made of sterner stuff.
 What do you know about sex with shifters? Hart growled.
 I have had sex with men other than my mate.
 But you won t again. Hart knew he was being stupidly possessive, but the
dragon beneath the surface of his human skin urged him to claim their mate. His skin
rippled as scales threatened to burst across the surface.
 Easy, Hart. I didn t mean to taunt the dragon. Noel s touch turned more
soothing than seductive until Hart could shove the beast back down beneath the
surface.
Sweat beaded his forehead. He wiped it away with the back of his hand.  Sorry.
 No need to be. I wasn t being fair. I thought to tease you, not upset your
dragon. Noel stroked Hart s thighs.  You still want to do this?
 Claim you, or have sex? Noel kept spinning him around in about ninety
different directions.
 Either. Both.
 Yes. Hart cupped Noel s head, then pulled him down. One gentle kiss merged
to two, then steamed up to much more than a gentle confirmation and sped through to
a hot, claiming clashing of mouths.
 I m glad. Noel panted.
After that, words no longer held any importance. They kept their communication
to burning touches and moans. When Noel slid down onto Hart s erection, he knew
he d found the sweetest spot on the planet.
 You feel amazing.
Noel grunted.
Hart wrapped his hands around Noel s hips.  You all right?
 Give me a minute. I ve never taken anyone as large as you before.
A ridiculous jolt of pride raised his ego.  You can do it.
Noel laughed.  I don t think I need a motivational speech.
Hart tried to remain patient, but the urge to lift his hips and push up drove him
hard.  Are you ready?
 Yes. Noel slid the rest of the way down until his ass snuggled up against
Hart s balls.
 Oh, fuck, you feel so good. Hart allowed Noel to set the pace, clenching his
teeth so hard he was surprised he didn t crack his molars.
 Let go, mate. I ve got you. Noel slid up and down on Hart s shaft, driving him
out of his mind.
 I. Need. To. Bite. You, Hart gasped out.
 Do it. Noel tilted his chin.
Neither Hart nor his dragon could ignore the obvious invitation. Lunging up, he
bit Noel at the junction between neck and shoulder. Hot blood filled his mouth even as
his teeth sank with a satisfying chomp into his mate s flesh.
Together. Always.
The words rang through Hart s head, a solemn vow. He came, pumping his seed
into his mate and binding them together for eternity.
The connection between them snapped into place. It tingled across his body and
for the first time a lightness filled him, as if finding his mate had removed an unknown
burden from his shoulders and an unacknowledged weight from his chest.
Hart lifted his mouth and licked at the wound he d left behind.
 You are mine, too, my dragon. The words made no sense until two burning
hot coals seared through his chest.
Screaming, Hart arched his back off the bed.  Ahh.
 Shh, I must claim you in the way of my people.
 Hurts.
 I have earth witch blood, remember.
The pain receded, and Hart remembered the joys of breathing normally again.
 And you thought burning me alive would commemorate that? His voice came out
rough from the screaming.
 Sorry. I didn t think it would hurt you so much. It must be your dragon nature
fighting me. It didn t hurt Paryis at all.
For a moment, Hart resented the dead fae. Hart would forever be compared to a
man who could ve been one of a triad, but instead lay lamented in the earth forever,
holding part of Noel s heart.
 Maybe I m not as strong.
Noel petted Hart s chest, leaving a soothing tingle of coolness behind.  No. Shh. I
didn t mean it that way. I meant your dragon responded more strongly to the magic.
Paryis didn t have much magic of his own. He was a bit spoiled, but I never doubted he
loved me. He stood up to his parents and refused to turn me away. When they died a
few years ago, I celebrated, not my finest hour.
 I m glad you have some happy memories of him. The smaller, petty part of
him wanted Noel to himself, even his past, but he pushed it away. He was Noel s mate
now, and nothing would change that, not even the ghost of a long dead man.
 Thank you. I don t know if I would be so gracious if you had someone in your
past. Noel kissed Hart.
For the first time, Hart realized his chest was covered in seed. Noel must ve come
when they bonded.  Let s take a shower.
 Good idea. Noel slid off Hart s softened cock.
Hart followed Noel into a large shower that dominated the small bathroom. He
waited while Noel started the shower, resisting the urge to add some heat to the cool
air. His fae mate wouldn t be able to withstand as much heat as Hart could provide.
Once steam began curling around the room, they entered the glass enclosure. Hart tilted
his head back and sighed as the water sluiced through his hair. He hadn t realized he
felt so dirty.
 Oh dear.
 What? Hart wiped the water away from his eyes in time to catch Noel s
concerned expression.
 I didn t mean to. Paryis s had been much smaller.
Hart glanced down at his chest. A large mountainscape in full color had
appeared across his skin like an intricate tattoo. It took him a moment to recognize the
peak.
 Hey, that s my mountain. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
