CHAPTER 10
“Come here, wildling.”
She swallowed, her throat dry as Nyra glided through the pool toward Raiden, her body painfully aware of every stroke of water against her naked flesh.
Strong hands gripped her waist, dragging her forward. As if by reflex, Nyra’s arms went around his neck, legs wrapping around his middle, molding herself to Raiden’s powerful human body. Her stiff nipples pressed against his solid chest. His hard cock snug in between, poking Nyra’s abdomen as his velvety shaft rubbed on her clit.
“You’re exquisite,” he murmured, hands gliding across her skin, exploring every one of her dips and hollows. His eyes hooded, hungrily roaming over every visible inch of her skin. “So fucking soft,” he praised, yanking her head back, sucking on her throat. Dragging his tongue over her jaw and across her lips.
Her mouth parted, welcoming him, tongues licking each other. Moaning when he slipped a thick finger into her core from behind, pumping languidly before he added two more, as she ground against his steel shaft. Her swollen clit throbbing, pussy weeping.
“I should threaten more men if this is how you’ll be thanking me.”
“Oh, gods,” she rasped as Raiden curled his digits, rocking her hips. “How long do we have before you turn back into a dragon again?”
He chuckled, licking the inside of her mouth. “That depends.”
“On what–oh, fuck.” Breathless, her pussy contracted as more slick coated his fingers.
“On whether or not you accept me as your mate.”
Gripping his hair, she bit his lip. “Do I have a choice?”
“You always have a choice, Nyra,” he groaned, squeezing her ass with his free hand.
“What happens if I don’t accept the bond?”
“I’ll turn back into a dragon and remain one until the next Full Moon. Nothing has to change.”
She stilled. “But you’ve waited so long.”
“And I can wait some more, pretty girl.” His wrist turned, fingers curling inside of Nyra. “I’ll never force you to do anything that you’re not comfortable with.”
Her heart clenched, his sincerity making her realize that he meant every word. Would it be so horrible to be tied to him? To wake up and go to sleep beside this beautiful male? To spend her days learning and flying through the skies without a single care in the world, completely free for the first time in so many years, the very same freedom that Raiden had so selflessly gifted her. A man that has shown her more affection and devotion than any other person in Nyra’s entire life.
Realization struck her. There had never really been any doubt in her mind, she would have done anything to stay by his side. Even begged him to keep her.
“Raiden,” she said, locking her arms around his neck, “make me yours.”
He froze, his fingers slipping out of Nyra. “What did you just say?”
Their lips touched, six little words whispering against them, “I accept you as my mate.”
Mouth crushing hers, Raiden lifted Nyra out of the water, his massive hands cupping the globes of her ass as he carried her over to the large bed that she had been sleeping on since coming to his lair.
Licking her neck, he lowered them onto the bed. “Do you remember what I promised you in the forest, wildling?” Parting her legs, he lined himself up with her entrance. “It’s time I kept it.” His cock thrust in, filling her up to the brim.
She cried out, arching her back from the fullness, her legs wrapping around Raiden as he began to move.
“I’m going to fuck you nice and slow until you beg me for more.” He rocked his hips, his arms braced beside her head, pulling out all the way before plunging back in, over and over until she started moaning without pause.
“Oh, gods!”
He growled, biting Nyra’s throat as he leaned down. “I’m getting tired of you calling out someone else’s name while I’m inside of you, little prey.” His tongue swirled around her tight nipple as he thrust faster, harder. “Who am I?”
“Ah, fuck–Raiden–”
Thrust.“Louder.”
“Raiden!”
He bit down, sucking on her pearly buds as he increased his pace. “You’re mine,” –thrust– “only mine.” –thrust– “My woman.” –lick– “My companion.” –suck– “My mate.” –thrust, thrust, thrust– “I’ll take such good care of you,” –lick, suck– “whatever you need. I’ll provide for you.”
“More.” She clawed at him, fingers digging into his back. “Please, I need more!” a loud moan erupted from Nyra, her pussy creaming at the glorious feel of his thick cock.
“Only if you say the words.”
Scratching at him as Raiden pistoned in and out of her, she bared her neck to him, her cunt stretched to the limit as she began to clamp up. “I claim you as my mate.”
His teeth sunk in, jaw locking around her throat just as she exploded. Endless cords of hot cum shot into her at the same time, filling her until her tight canal couldn’t take anymore, until his milk was dripping out of Nyra around his thick shaft.
“And I claim you,” he murmured softly, peppering kisses along her jaw, “as my fated mate.” He flipped her around, his cock still lodged inside of Nyra. Lowering himself onto her drenched body, he suddenly pulled out, only the tip filling her entrance. “Better make sure my seed is nice and deep in there.” Then shoved back in. “Hold on tight. It’s going to be a long night, wildling.”
