3013: MATED (3013: The Series) (15 page)

“Thank
you for loving me, Brydan. I don’t blame you for losing hope. I am just glad we
found each other. You weren’t the only one who wasn’t complete. I never felt
like I fit in here, but with you, I’ve found my place. I love you, Brydan.”  

“You
are my other half of my soul, Lexie. My heart is yours.” Brydan swore.

“Show
me. Make love to me and show me.”

And
he did.

With
aching tenderness he kissed her. His touch showed her exactly how much she
meant to him and she responded in kind, holding nothing back. When he moved
over her, she welcomed him. And there in the cavern, surrounded by a brilliant
array of colors, he made slow, passionate love to her until she was breathless
and showed her just how much he loved her.

Chapter Nine

When
Alexis and Brydan arrived back in the clearing, Thorn helped Alexis dismount
from Brydan’s back and took her hand to lead her back to the waterfall. On the
way he couldn’t wait to have her, and neither could she.

He
held her in a passionate embrace as they came together in a clash of wills.
Picking her up, he shoved her back against a tree and pounded himself into her
until they both cried out in ecstasy. When the swelling of his cock dissipated,
he swept her into his arms and carried her over to the pool fed by the waterfall.

She
squealed with delight as he jumped in still holding her, immersing them both in
the cool, clear water. They played together for a few minutes, splashing and
laughing with one another until he settled them onto a cropping of underwater
rocks close to the falls so the pressure of the water massaged their muscles.
Resting her head on his shoulder, she sat in his lap, enjoying the peaceful
beauty of the scenery and the warm sunlight shining down on them.

Alexis
raised a hand to lightly stroke over the mark her fangs had left on his neck
when she had bitten him and she felt him shiver at her touch. “Why do I feel
this driving need to bite you when we’re together?”

“It
is the mating bond,” Thorn replied, hugging her closer. “Every time we exchange
blood it makes us closer. You want that with us just as much as we want it with
you.”

“That
makes sense. I never was much of a biter...until now,” she teased. “Although, I
have to say the fangs came as a surprise.”

He
winced. “Aye, the fangs. I guess that is another thing I forgot to mention
about the change."

Alexis
chuckled. “Remind me to punish you later when I have the energy.”

There
was a long pause before Thorn spoke again and he tilted her face up so he could
look down into her eyes. “Have we been pushing you too hard with our
attentions, my love?”

“What?
No! I love that you guys want me so much, and trust me when I say I am totally
all for making love to all of you as much as we can.”

He
stroked a gentle hand down her back. “You are so precious to us, my love. I
know there is lots that you will still need to learn much about being a Dragon
Warrior’s mate, but we have many years for you to learn everything.”

“I
understand. Everything had been strange, but it’s all been so wonderful. I love
being mated to all of you. What is going to happen now? I know you said that we
could stay until I settle everything here, but then what are we going to do?”

“We
will travel to whatever worlds you would like to see as we make our way back to
our homeworld so you may see it. I want to show you the universe, to give you
anything and everything you have ever wanted.”

“That
sounds wonderful,” she said on a dreamy sigh.

“Since
we are immortal, we have plenty of time to see whatever you wish.”

She
jolted at that. “Immortal? Holy fucking shit storm! I know you guys were old,
but shit, I didn’t really think about me being immortal now!”

 His
glowing golden eyes sparkled with mirth. “Something else we forgot to mention?
Aye, we are immortal, although there are ways that we can be killed. Most
Dragon Warriors that have lost their lives have done so in battle, so that is
something you will never have to worry about. You will never put yourself in
danger like that. I cannot bear to even think of losing you,” he growled.

“Don’t
worry, Thorn. I have no intention of jumping into anything dangerous, unless
any of you are in jeopardy that is.”

His
eyes narrowed. “You will not—”

“I
will not sit back and do nothing if one of you is in danger. I won’t do
anything that knowingly puts me at risk because I know all four of your would
lose your minds, but I can’t change who I am either, even for you. I am a
soldier, and I need you to understand that.”

Sighing,
Thorn pulled her closer to him. “I think we need to just put you in a magical
bubble where nothing can harm you. That is the only way I will stop worrying.”

Alexis
laughed softly as she absently reached down between them and stroked her hand
over his semi-hard shaft and it quickly hardened as she touched him. “I
wouldn’t doubt you could really do it, too. You do like to catch me off guard.”

Thorn
let out a growl as his hips flexed forward. “You seem to like distracting me as
well, mate. I cannot think of anything but being inside you while you stroke my
cock like that.”

Her
hand stilled. She had been so focused on learning his body that she hadn’t
really realized that she had been stroking him. “I’m sorry, I didn’t even—”

Thorn
stopped her from pulling her hand away by wrapping his around her, keeping her
fingers curled around his hard cock. “Do not stop. Feel free to touch me
whenever you want, mate. We would love to have your hands on us at all times,”
Thorn offered in a strangled voice as she continued to torment him. “My body
belongs to you, just as my heart and soul do.”

She
smiled shyly at him. “I’ve always been fascinated by male bodies, but I’ve
never really felt comfortable with anyone before all of you to really explore
how I wanted. I seem to be particularly mesmerized by your cock. It’s so big
and hard, and yet the skin is so soft. I love how it pulses in my hand. What
are these?” she asked as she touched the three ridges underneath the head of
his cock.

“It
is the most sensitive part of our cocks and it rubs against the inside of your
channel as we move inside of you.” He purred as she rubbed her thumb against
the ridges. “Your touch calms me and excites me all at once. It is amazing, the
power you wield over me.”

“You
have only to look at me and I get wet for you. I’ve never felt this way before
meeting you. I never knew I could love this way, but I do. I love you, Thorn.
So much it scares me that it happened so fast.” she whispered back, feeling his
cock jerk in her palm at her words.

Thorn
was her mate that she connected with on another level. He didn’t hesitate to
open himself to her, to provide whatever he could to ensure her happiness. His
devotion was endless and absolute. She could feel the love he poured through
their bond and it surrounding her like a cloak of warmth and happiness.

His
golden eyes were practically feral as he stared back at her. “I will
love you for eternity and beyond, Alexis. You are my every hope and dream. I
need to be inside you, mate, but first I need to mark you, and then we can
finish what you have begun.”

Picking her up into his arms,
Thorn carried her to the edge of the pool, sitting her on the bank so he was
standing between her parted legs. He
placed a
fist over his heart then laid his other hand over her heart.

“You
are my light, my love and my life. With this mark I share my magic and my heart
with you. I vow to protect you, to ensure your happiness above all, and love
you for all the days we are together in this life, until we are reunited in the
next.”

Thorn
watched the light flow from beneath his palm to engulf her left side as his
magic streamed through her system, marking her as his mate for all to see. He
saw his golden tattoo covering the left side of her body, with his dragon’s
claw cupping her left breast right over her heart.

He
was fiercely aroused looking at his mark on her and he felt pride surge through
him knowing she belonged to him. No other male would touch her. He wouldn’t
allow it.

None
of them would.

Looking
down into her glowing violet eyes, he leaned down to take her lips with his in
a brutal kiss. He opened his mind to hers fully, wanting to feel her inside him
so they were one. He had no secrets from his mate, and wanted her to know him
as completely as he knew himself. In return he wanted her to let him into her.

He
wanted every part of her to belong to him.

Gently
pushing her back so she was laying down before him, he spread her thighs so he
could look down at her bare mound and
a low growl of approval rumbled from
deep in his chest. “You are so beautiful, mate. So pretty and pink. Look at all
this juice spilling from your tiny little hole. I am just as fascinated by your
body as you are with mine. You are mine. Mine to care for, to pleasure and
love.”

Alexis
moaned low in the throat as Thorn’s mouth lowered down to her and she jolted
under him as his tongue swiped over her dripping slit. The taste of her
exploded on his tongue, making him want more of her. He could feel her pleasure
merge with his through their bond, and it heightened his own so his cock
throbbed like an open wound.

“You
are so sweet,” he growled.

He
fought down his own need and focused on bringing his mate pleasure as he held
her body open for him to feast on. He lapped at the copious juices spilling
from her pussy then concentrated on creating more as he shoved his tongue
inside her hot hole.

“Thorn!
Oh god, it’s so good. Please…”

Her
cries were music to his ears as she climaxed. The muscles of her cunt pulsed
around his tongue as if trying to push him out, but he continued to shove back
into her, drinking down her release.

He had never seen anything so
stunning as his mate in the throes of her orgasm, and he wanted to see it over
and over again. He wanted to drink down her juices until she begged him to
stop.
He licked and sucked her tiny clit,
shoving his finger deep inside her to drive her back to the brink of climax
again.

“Come
again, mate,” Thorn demanded. “Come again and feed me your sweet release.” He
drove his finger inside her then added another, stroking in her while he sucked
on her clit, making her cry out again. His other hand held onto her hip to hold
her still as she thrashed beneath him.

 “Mine!” He allowed the low,
rough growl to rumble in his chest and was awarded as a new flood of liquid
spilled onto his tongue.

“Thorn!”

She
was glorious as she arched her back, and spread herself wide, offering herself
to him completely. He licked and suckled her to another shattering release
before he levered up over her and plunged his cock into her, unable to wait any
longer. They rode out the waves of pleasure together, climbing higher and
higher until his cock swelled and he gave himself over to the rapture of being
one with his mate.

Alexis
and Thorn walked back to their campsite holding hands and laughing as if they
had been lovers for centuries instead of a matter of days. The sun had begun to
set, but she smiled as they walked down a path that had been lit with torches
that had obviously been left burning by her other mates so she wouldn’t have to
walk through the woods in the dark.

When
they entered the clearing, she was shocked to see a large tent made of a
shimmering bronze fabric was set up in the center. The tent reminded her of
images she had seen in the archives of exotic desert tribes that lived long ago
and she shot a questioning glance at Thorn.

“You
did not think that we would make you sleep on the ground, did you? Remember,
your magic males provide for you, always.” Thorn gave her a gentle push
forward. “Go to him. Xavier is waiting for you.”

Giving
him a kiss goodbye, she opened the flap and walked inside and came to a stop as
she saw Xavier. He stood naked in the center of the room, right in front of the
large wooden pole holding up the shimmering fabric of the tent. His perfect
golden body bathed in the candlelight that filled the darkened interior of the
tent. He had a warrior’s stance, with his hands on his hip, legs braced apart
and his long, thick cock jutting out proudly from between his legs.

Giving
the room a once over, she was impressed at their ability to weave magic where
there had been nothing but barren land. Inside the tent there was a huge
mattress on the floor, with a dark-ruby colored blanket and various jewel-toned
pillows on it, and off to the two sides of the room were two other comfortable
looking pallets. They had explained to her earlier that each night she would
sleep surrounded by two of her mates at her sides, while the other two slept
separately. They would alternate nights, which suited her just fine, unless
they pissed her off. Then she would banish all of them from her bedroom until
she forgave them.

“Come
here, Alexis,” Xavier demanded. “Come claim what is yours.”

His
commanding tone didn’t irk her. She could feel his joy at seeing her through
their bond, and decided to embrace his playful mood by getting into character.
Since he very much looked like a conquering warrior, she removed the shirt and
pants Thorn had dressed her in after their time at the pool using her magic,
and donned an outfit more fitting for a harem. The wispy material of the small
top covered her breasts and she had created a skirt that sat low on her hips
made of two small panels of cloth that barely hid the sight of her pussy and
ass from view. She’d chosen a silver material that matched her lover’s eyes,
and knew she had surprised him with her daring.

Feeling
bold, she stepped further into the light, walking toward him slowly so he could
look his fill. She was pleased with the lust she saw shining from Xavier’s
bright silver eyes, and put a little more sway into her hips as she moved.
