Chapter 9 #2
The damn dragon let out a noise that was almost a purr of pure satisfaction.
The vibrations rumbled up Haru’s throat and stroked Adrian’s cock, pushing him even closer to the edge.
Adrian swore and Haru sped up, sucking him harder and sliding along his dick.
Naughty fingers played with his balls, brushing against his hole.
He’d never bottomed for a partner, but there was something about Haru’s hot touch, growing firmer in its insistence, that had all his resistance crumbling.
Before he could even warn Haru that he was close, he was coming hard. The dragon growled and sucked him like his life depended on it, drinking every drop of him.
Haru licked him clean and allowed Adrian’s cock to slide from his mouth. Adrian panted, sure his heart was about to burst out of his chest. He watched as Haru stood and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. Afterward, the devil licked his hand as if he wanted to be sure to get every last drop.
“Delicious,” he purred.
“Come here. Let me return the favor.” Adrian motioned with one trembling hand for the man to return to bed.
“I want something else.” Without another word, Haru stalked off to the bathroom, disappearing for only a second.
When he returned with a look of fierce determination, Adrian’s brain checked out.
It was the first time he’d seen Haru naked, and the man was stunning.
All lean muscles and graceful lines with creamy white skin that held the lightest flush. He was a dream of power and elegance.
And then there was his cock. Thick and beautiful. Exactly what he’d expected from the smug dragon.
He didn’t get any time to think about it.
Haru was on him in a flash, his tongue plunging into Adrian’s mouth, while an unexpectedly slick finger pushed into his hole.
He moaned, tasting himself on Haru’s tongue.
They kissed hungrily, eating at each other’s mouths as Haru added more fingers and heat, stretching resistant muscles and chasing away pain before it could pull Adrian from the moment.
Despite having come not all that long ago, Adrian could feel his cock filling, need building inside him with every kiss and touch.
One hand moved down Haru’s body to wrap around his dick, stroking him.
The low purr became a growl, causing the hair on the nape of Adrian’s neck to stand up, setting off some hindbrain instincts that should have been screaming, Run.
Insane person that he was, Adrian only became more turned-on.
“Hurry. Now,” Adrian panted, tearing his mouth free from Haru’s.
The dragon lifted his head, allowing Adrian to see him clearly. Sweat glittered on his forehead in the weak overhead light, and his dark, bottomless eyes appeared black. It was the first time he’d ever seen Haru looking anything but perfect, and it made him ache for Haru.
“You’re sure? I don’t wish to hurt you.” Haru’s voice was as rough and broken as shattered glass. “You’re so tight.”
“Try to go slow,” Adrian replied, even though slow was the last thing he wanted.
Haru snagged a final quick kiss, and an expression of pure joy flashed across his face as he settled between Adrian’s legs.
He grabbed whatever bottle he’d retrieved and coated his cock in the slick substance.
Adrian was still trying to pull his scattered thoughts together when Haru pressed the thick head of his cock into him.
All those thoughts flew from his fingertips, and his brain blanked out.
There was pain. Haru was thick as hell, but as the pain spiked, this amazing heat chased it, soothing muscles that were not used to this kind of stretch.
Nothing had ever felt like this. The mix of heat, pain, and pleasure was overwhelming.
It was hard to even suck in a breath. Haru moved slowly, pushing into his body bit by bit, only to pull out again and start over.
Each time, he took in more of Haru until he felt so completely full.
“Too much,” Adrian cried out, his hard voice cracking slightly.
Haru’s harsh features softened, and he smiled at Adrian as he wrapped his long fingers around his dick. He stroked him in time with his own gentle thrusts. “So close,” he whispered. “You know you want to take all of me. You want me to fill you. Possess you. Make you mine.”
His words felt almost hypnotic. Pleasure raced through his body with the soothing heat. Muscles tightened and relaxed. Adrian whimpered with need. What had seemed like too much was now not enough. He needed more. Harder. Faster. All of him.
“Yes, more,” Adrian moaned, lifting his hips in time with Haru’s thrusts.
The dragon shouted and threw his head back.
His inky-black hair fell in a luxurious cascade.
His lips parted on a sigh, and Adrian swore a curl of white smoke drifted from Haru’s mouth.
He was sinfully sexy, and for some reason Adrian couldn’t fathom, he’d fixated all his energy and devotion on Adrian.
It blew his mind. He didn’t understand, might never understand it, but in that perfect moment, he didn’t fucking care.
Adrian shoved upward and wrapped his hand across the nape of Haru’s neck, pulling him down so that they crashed onto the mattress, their mouths sealed together in a demanding kiss. Right now, nothing mattered but his dragon.
They kissed and bit at each other as Haru thrust into Adrian’s body.
Adrian moved with him, his hand sliding over endless warm, sweat-slicked skin.
His heart soared in his chest, and his blood boiled.
The satisfaction he’d found with Haru’s thorough blowjob had burned up to ash, and now he ached to come again.
“Harder,” he growled above the slap of their skin. His cock brushed against Haru’s stomach, teasing him, putting him right on the edge. “So close. Fuck. So close.”
A low rumble poured up from Haru’s chest, and he nuzzled Adrian’s neck. “Whatever my Adrian wishes.”
Haru hooked a hand under Adrian’s left knee and lifted his leg nearly to his chest, changing the angle as Haru hammered into him.
A shout ripped from Adrian’s lips as Haru’s thick cock found his prostate and lit his entire body up.
Electricity crackled along every nerve ending, and the orgasm he’d been holding back tore through him.
Muscles tightened around Haru’s dick, squeezing him.
The dragon snarled Adrian’s name as he followed Adrian off the cliff as they came together, soaring into a dazzling white light.
Hot semen flooded Adrian’s channel, and he whimpered as yet another wave of intense pleasure washed through him. His head dropped onto the pillow, and he swore. Haru had ruined him for sex with normal humans. Nothing was going to top this.
“My Adrian, are you okay? Did I hurt you?” Haru’s words were slurred, as if he were intoxicated, and his face was smashed against Adrian’s chest.
Adrian’s grin felt wobbly as he struggled to get all the muscles in his body working. He ran his fingers through Haru’s sweaty, messy hair, pushing it away from his flushed face. “I feel great right now. I’m sure that will change.”
Haru’s head jerked, and wide, worried eyes locked on him. “Was I too rough?”
With a huffed laugh, Adrian pulled Haru in for a kiss. Gods, he even tasted like heaven. Salty and sweet with a single lick. “You were amazing, and you know it. It’s just that you have that enormous dragon dick. It takes a bit to get adjusted to.”
Haru’s smile was dazzling. “I’m happy to have sex with you any time you wish so that you can get adjusted.”
Adrian covered Haru’s grin with his hand and shoved the man, groaning. Of course, he was willing to fuck Adrian any chance he got. “Get away from me, glutton!”
But to Haru’s credit, he didn’t carelessly pull away.
He moved deliberately, removing his cock from Adrian’s body with extreme care prior to collapsing next to him on the bed.
It was something Adrian wasn’t sure he’d ever get accustomed to.
Haru was always so very careful around him, putting his comfort and safety first.
“Fuck.” Adrian sighed. He tossed an arm across his eyes and tried to get his brain working. “I need a shower, and then maybe I can think about calling Cael about the Shey problem.”
“No, you must call Cael first.”
“You’re crazy.”
The bed shifted violently, and Adrian found himself being rolled onto his side as Haru cuddled up behind him. His arm wrapped across Adrian’s stomach while his face pressed into Adrian’s neck. “It is the perfect time to call Cousin Cael. You’re relaxed now. Don’t let all my hard work go to waste.”
Adrian chuckled and tried to twist to look at Haru, but the dragon had him tangled up too solidly. “You did not fuck me to get me to relax before calling Cael.”
“No, it wasn’t the only reason.”
This was the moment. He needed to spring up and lay down some hard boundaries between him and Haru.
Sex was one thing. It was fun and could be without all the messy emotions.
That kind of arrangement did not include things like cuddles and the little kisses Haru was dropping along his shoulder while wandering fingers toyed with the light sprinkling of hair across his chest.
Except springing up was tiring, and this was easily the most comfortable and relaxed he’d been since Rayne’s wedding. He didn’t want to move.
But what was he supposed to do about Haru? He couldn’t handle trying to find Prince Shey and figuring out his feelings for a dragon at the same time. He wasn’t that smart a guy. Quick-witted and crafty? Sure. But smart? No, he’d leave that to Rayne and King Caelan.
Yet, before he could figure out what he wanted to say or do, the oversized space heater behind him moved. Haru couldn’t sit still for long. He had no idea how Nori put up with him. Probably nailed his tail to the ground.
“Haru—”
“Here!” Haru shoved his phone in front of his face. As his eyes focused on the screen, he discovered Haru had already placed a call to Cael.
“Shit!” Adrian shot into a sitting position as he snatched the device from the dragon. “What are you doing? Do you even know what time it is in Stormbreak?”
“Late afternoon.” Cael’s amused voice filled the room, and Adrian almost jumped. Haru had put the call on speaker prior to handing it to Adrian.
“I’m so sorry.”
“It’s fine. Really. It’s fine.” Amusement rippled through Caelan’s voice. “We’re only a few hours behind you, so it’s not early. I’ve been hoping you’d call soon. How are things going?”
Adrian swallowed hard. There was static on the line.
Residual magic from the God Wars in the Ordas still made things like phone calls across the continent difficult.
The odds of the call cutting out were high.
Adrian didn’t have time to beat about the bush.
“Not good. We found his two companions dead, but no solid sign of him. We followed a lead to Voxmore, but it was a dead end. Things are…weird here. Unsettled. Dangerous.”
As he spoke, Haru shifted on the mattress, sliding his long legs alongside Adrian so that he was wrapped almost completely around him. His arms circled Adrian’s waist, and he rested his lips against his shoulder in silent, unwavering support.
“Are you safe? Injured? Haru?”
“We’re both safe and unharmed.”
Caelan’s heavy sigh stretched through the room, bringing a hint of a smile to Adrian’s lips. It was weird to think that the king of Erya was genuinely concerned for his well-being, but it was easier to believe that his friend Cael was worried.
“I’m sorry. I think you sent the wrong person. This has been overwhelming. I don’t know where to dig,” Adrian admitted, his voice growing rough. Haru’s arms tightened, and it was like being wrapped in a fierce, protective cocoon.
“No, this is my fault,” Caelan argued. “I sent you ill-equipped for the task ahead of you. My first concern was speed. But how were you to succeed? It’s not as if he were going to be standing on a street corner, waving a big yellow flag to catch your attention.”
There was a low snort followed by Drayce’s sarcastic voice, proving that the king’s fiancé was also listening in to their call. “Yeah, like that wouldn’t have gotten him killed.”
An unexpected ache throbbed in the center of Adrian’s chest, and his throat grew dry.
Hearing both Caelan and Drayce at the same time left him feeling unexpectedly homesick.
The only things missing were Rayne’s dry, sharp words and the low rumble of Eno’s teasing answer.
The rest of the family he’d been adopted into as they risked life and limb to save the world.
“Do you remember Vitor?” Caelan inquired.
Adrian stiffened at the mention of Erya’s spymaster.
They’d met the so-called Gray Fox in Brightspire when investigating the Ilon government and searching for the fifth godstone.
Haru shifted, moving so that he could peer at Adrian and shoot him a questioning glance.
The dragon had never met him, which was probably a good thing.
“I do,” Adrian answered a bit cautiously.
“I’ve sent him to you. He possesses deep knowledge of the area and should be able to help you with your digging. Return to Bellcairn if you’re not there now and wait in Pinepass Heights. He will find you.”
Adrian nodded. “Got it.” Pinepass Heights was a nicer part of town without being in the rich, gated districts. Maybe a little less looking over their shoulder.
“Also, while he is important, both of you are important to me. Do you understand?”
Adrian’s grin returned, and heat grew in the pit of his stomach. He got the message. Caelan wanted them to find and rescue Prince Shey, but he didn’t want them throwing away their lives to get him.
“Don’t worry. I will bring Adrian and him home safely,” Haru chimed in.
“Thank you. I—” Caelan’s voice cut off, and the screen flashed, showing the call had been cut off. The magic of the old gods had decided they’d talked long enough.
Adrian swallowed a sigh. It was for the best. They’d gotten the help they needed. Any longer, and Adrian would have been tempted to ask for some palace gossip. Rayne and Eno had to be back from their honeymoon.
“Guess we’re returning to Bellcairn,” Adrian murmured, pulling free of Haru’s arms to climb to his feet.
The dragon shot him a petulant glare, but it cleared almost as quickly as it formed. “Who is this Vitor?”
Adrian smirked. “A spy.”
Haru’s eyes lit up. Yes, things should go much smoother for them now. At the very least, it promised to get much more interesting.
