Chapter 15
Lambda growled, his cock bouncing against Vallie’s belly.
He hadn’t eaten her pussy with any thought of his cock going near her mouth. He had eaten her pussy because he didn’t think he could survive another day without doing it. Without tasting his sweet mate, feeling her orgasm against him.
And by the Moon Goddess, it had been everything he dreamed. She tasted like home, like desire, like his .
And now she wanted to suck his cock? If they weren’t staring down the dragons, this night would be perfect.
“I’m supposed to make you come at least three times before I come,” he spat out.
Damn it. Those traditions followed him, even into dragon territory.
“Hm. Well. I have an idea. I could sit on your face while I suck your cock. That way you are actively working toward getting me off again while I’m having fun with you.”
“Vallie, if you sit on my face, I will come the moment you put my cock in your mouth,” he admitted. He ran his thumb against her jaw, then brushed it over her lips. He couldn’t wait to feel them wrapped around him.
“Then let’s do that. I don’t really care about your traditions, no offense. And the orgasm you just gave me was worth at least four orgasms. That’s how good it was. Seriously.” She paused. “I’m still pulsing down there. Like, it’s crazy. I can’t believe how excited I am to fuck you,” she rambled. “You’re very good with your mouth. I’m guessing you’ve had a lot of experience. And I don’t care. Whoever helped you learn how to do this is a great person in my opinion.”
“Not really,” Lambda admitted. “I mean, I haven’t really been with a lot of people. A couple fun nights when I was a teenager, a few more in my twenties.”
“Wait, in your twenties? How old are you?” Vallie raised an eyebrow.
“Thirty. Is that ok with you?”
“Oh. Yes. I’m twenty-eight. Wow. The Moon Goddess seems to take age into consideration.”
“She is a goddess,” Lambda answered. His hand wandered down Vallie’s back until it cupped her ass. Hell, her body was so soft and so hot. From the top of her head to the tips of her toes, he didn’t think he’d ever get tired of exploring her.
“Let me just,” she snuck her hand between their bodies and grabbed him. “There. There you are.”
Lambda inhaled sharply and tried to stay still. She didn’t move her hand, only held him.
“You’ve got a very heavy and thick cock,” she commented and squeezed him. “It’s going to be so fun to fuck you when we get back to Luven. Ah! Damn Verona not being released with me. If they’d let her go, I’d be in a bed riding this nice cock until I passed out.” She grinned wickedly at him. “I’ll settle for riding this face again.”
She pushed him to his back and kissed him hard. Her hands splayed against his chest and buried in the hair there. She curled her fingers until her nails pierced his skin. He ran his hands up the backs of her thighs, then grabbed her ass hard.
“Yes, I like it a little rough,” she moaned. She swung her body around until her legs were on either side of his face and she grabbed his cock. “I know you won’t go soft, even if you come. So, I’ll keep sucking you until I need to collapse.”
Lambda didn’t think he’d ever heard anything hotter in his entire life. He grabbed her breasts and buried his face in her pussy, just as she took him in her mouth.
Lambda had gotten his cock sucked before. He wasn’t a virgin by any means, but being with Vallie was like there’d been no one. No kissing, no sex, no orgasms before her. Her body, her mouth, her pussy on his face. It was like a whole new world.
Vallie took him roughly and scraped her teeth lightly up his sensitive flesh. He groaned against her and tried to hold out. He wanted her to come first.
He concentrated on her, slipping his lips over her clit and sucking gently. She had liked that before and judging by the way she thrust closer to him, she liked it again. He focused on getting her there, loving the way she moved more frantically up his cock the closer she came to coming. He played with her nipples, kept up the gentle pressure on her clit, and within moments, she grabbed his cock hard as she came. She moved wildly over him now, her mouth slipping as it sucked, scratching at his thighs as she moved, and he let go.

Moments after Vallie came, Lambda was spilling down her throat. She swallowed everything, the salty substance feeling as much a part of her as Lambda did in this moment. She felt greedy, wanting more, needing more from him, but her legs couldn’t hold her up anymore. She fell to her side, gasping for air. How was she going to take the mating frenzy if two orgasms from this wolf’s mouth had her turning to a puddle?
“I’ve got you, I’ve got you,” Lambda soothed. He pulled her against him, arranging her back to his front, and circled his arms over her. His hands ran over every inch of her, soothing her.
“Vallie. Beautiful Vallie. Strong Vallie. My Vallie,” he whispered over and over, his words like a balm over her entire body. She felt like a wildfire, something untamable. Her legs shook, still trembling from her orgasm, but more than that. Her body couldn’t quite grasp how connected they’d been. The intensity of this relationship—mates—terrified her. Four years with Elias hadn’t held the fire that she and Lambda created. But Lambda was like a soft rain, bringing her back to herself. Quenching the fire on the earth. His fingertips on her skin calmed her frenzied body, like cool water.
She breathed deeply, letting her heart slow to a normal pace, letting her body melt against his and find peace in his embrace. He held her, his lips and breath against her hair, and she was finally still.
“That was incredible,” she managed once her breath returned to her. “Will it…will it always be like that between us?” Part of her didn’t know if she could stand it, if every time she was with Lambda it felt like the apocalypse.
Part of her couldn’t wait to be with him again.
“I hope so,” Lambda answered. “I never thought my first time tasting my mate would be in the middle of dragon territory on the forest floor. I’d hoped to give you everything you deserved first. A warm bed, a strong house, a meal that wasn’t made up of apples and jerky.” He pawed around the ground and found her shirt, tucking it over her breasts and belly. Then he folded his leg over hers, his body encapsulating hers with warmth.
“I wouldn’t have had it another way.” It felt…animalistic. Primal. Like they were two creatures in the wilderness that couldn’t help devouring one another.
It was perfect.
“Sleep now,” he murmured, holding her tight. “I’ll wake you in an hour or so.” He snuggled a little closer. “Oh, Vallie. Don’t say anything back to me, but I love you. Every single fiber of your being. You are mine.”
Vallie’s heart thudded deliciously.
His . She snuggled against him and closed her eyes. She didn’t answer, didn’t say she loved him back, or that he was hers. That could wait until there was a warm bed and a strong house. Until there wasn’t Dragon’s Keep hanging over them, like a blade in the darkness. Right now, he was so warm, encircling her and holding her close. It was like lying in front of a fire that was meant only for her.
It was wonderful to belong to someone.
Once they freed Verona, she would have everything she needed. A mate to stand beside her, a sister to share her joy with. A place to keep them all safe. Then, she could let herself love Lambda. Let her heart fall for him. Once the uncertainty of the next few hours…days…passed into memory.
She closed her eyes and drifted into a sleep she didn’t realize she needed.
