My feet echo as my steps run along the metal floor. My dragon moves uncomfortably inside my chest the deeper we get underground. Even after all these years we can’t get used to the feeling. We belong outside and in the skies after all. That is our nature. When I was young I used to cry each time I entered this place. That action has long since been beaten out of me.Now, I find the sound of the Tungsten metal to be a comfort. I have made this place my home. Others Now, I find the sound of the Tungsten metal to be a comfort. I have made this place my home. Others that are of a different species than human look down on me for what I do. I was raised to be this way. Raised to bring my own here. I have been doing it for so long now that I don’t know another way.Today is going to change things for me though. This will be the first time that I will see him since I brought him here. Before that it had been fourteen long years. The sound of my feet change as I head toward the cells where
I bang against the force field that appeared as my mate accepted her meet her greet. As soon as she formed the water shield Kelsie disappeared behind it. Panic fills my chest as I try to break through the barrier with all my might. Xander tried to stop her from accepting the invitation but now she is too late. My roar fills the air as I grow furious that she has taken my mate from me. What the hell is she doing to her?“We do not even remember the first time we met her. Maybe she isn’t causing her any harm” Xander says from the back of our mind even though I can feel his worry too.“You do not know what I know. To truly meet a kelpie one must be close to death or dying. Our mate is alive and healthy. Now she is in danger from this stupid creature. I swear if anything has happened to her I will not hesitate to show her my wrath” I warn him viciously.As the threat leaves my lips the barrier suddenly drops and I am sprinting our human form forward. What I see stops me in my tracks fo
As soon as I mention needing to eat Xander returns. He returns completely naked and my eyes almost bug out of my skull as all his delicious flesh is revealed to my gaze. I can’t even remove it from him or his golden tattoos. His body is truly a work of art as his muscles ripple. When my eyes land on his legs I have to blink as his size is once more revealed. It hangs heavy against his thigh and the hunger that fills me has me clenching my own together. It is suddenly hid from my view and my eyes fly to his as I fight a blush. He definitely caught me looking. The look in his eyes as he watches me causes moisture to spill between my thighs. His nostrils flare and he takes a step toward me automatically releasing his appendage. My eyes fly to it once more and I lick my lips subtly as he groans. “Fuck” he curses as he stops in his tracks. “The smell of you makes my tongue itch to taste you” he says with so much want in his voice. The thought of him taking me with his huge size is enough
Maximus leaves so quickly that nothing is left to be said. As I make my way down to the cells of the cabin where we keep our prisoners my anger spikes. After everything that we have been through today and shared, she just rejected my touch. She said nothing as I held her hand on our journey or guided her with a well place palm on her lower back. As soon as we got in front of someone though she didn’t want me touching her.Maximus already knows that we are mates. The actions that she showed just don’t make sense. The conversation that I had with Maximus before I gave him instructions keeps playing in my head as I decipher our words to see where I made a mistake. I slow my steps before I get to his cell. With a few deep breaths I clear my head so that I can deal with him. So, far he has found a way to get under the skin of everyone that has tortured him. I hate to even admit that he got undermine a time or two. The bastard just knows entirely too much. Even things that he shouldn’t kno
The cry of my daughter pierces the air and I rise with a groan as Magma starts to stir. “Our turn” me and my dragon say with excitement as we exit the room. Finally used to the layout of our new cabin I make it to their room next to ours and scoop her up. I gently rock her to soothe her so she doesn’t wake her brother. Green eyes like my own blink up me as I smile at her. She is the epitome of beauty, just like her mother. The words of my dragon cause her to bring her hand up to touch our face as he pushes forward. She coos at him as a purr leaves our chest. With her in our arms we head to the fridge to heat up her milk. Used to the nightly routine I grab two bags knowing that her brother will also wake up soon. She waits so patiently as she looks around the room to see what I am doing. I shake my head as I think about how impatient her brother is. If it were he who had awoken first he would scream bloody murder until he was fed.Once the milk is warm I settle her into the crook
I sit on the couch waiting patiently as he cleans up the class that I broke. I was so startled when he appeared in front of me that I almost screamed. He picked me up so fast that I could do nothing but hold onto the broadness of his shoulders as he carried me to the couch. When he release me I had to cross my legs at the tingling sensation that I got when he took all of my wait. He cleans up the mess in record time and comes back over to me. I watch his face and see his lips about to move when suddenly his entire body freezes. His eyes change to slits as they darken and his dragon eyes come forth. I follow his gaze as he stares at me and see that he is looking at my legs. When I recall what I am wearing my entire body blushes as I curse myself. I was just coming down to grab a quick drink before heading off to bed and forgot to put on the robe. My legs lay there completely bared to his gaze as I hear him swallow. Moving quickly I grab the pillow from the other end of the couch and t
Wait, Xander don’t---As I push my lips to hers the warmth of her warms my soul. My power rushes out as I push all the love that I can at her. If I want her to give me a chance then I have to show her what I can give her. She has left me no choice. I can’t just let her leave.My world goes gold as I watch the love take over her eyes and I stare into them. After a few moments, a sob leaves her chest and I try to pull away. The connection that I have made to her is too strong, however. I have no choice but to go along with the process as I watch my mate break right in front of me. The tears flow freely down her chest as her entire body stills. I have no idea what she is seeing through my gift but I know that the vibrations of her screams against my lips have yet to cease.She is on the other end. We can’t stop this. Oh, god Xander we can’t stop this.Tears fill my eyes as I watch my mate be tortured. I flex my arms as I hold her tighter against me wanting to bring her some kind of c
My eyes feel like sandpaper when I blink them open. Pain ricochets in my chest as a shuddering breath leaves my lips. Even though the sun is shining the day feels dull. Looking around the room I freeze. The golden colors around the room do not belong to me. Lifting my head from the warm hard surface I am laying on my eyes land on Xander’s face. His eyes are closed and the even rhythm of his breathing lets me know that he is sleeping.When my gaze travels down I quickly snatch my leg off of him. Why am I in his room? The thought of how we slept causes me to blush profusely. My body is cradled to his side. I can feel the muscles of his arm under my neck and I know that I used it as a pillow. My leg had decided to escape the confines of the robe I wear and was thrown across his thick waist. The memory of it causes me to shiver. At my shiver, his arm wraps tighter around me and a soft groan leaves his chest as his eyes flutter open. Inside I start to panic at what he will say. Before t
