Jedidiah: Dragon’s Savior – Ménage Erotic Fantasy (Dragon's Savior Book 2) (13 page)

He let her legs go, and Jed moaned as she wrapped them around his hips. Pulling back enough so that she released him, Jed dropped to his knees and pulled her to the edge of the table. This was what he wanted. To drink from her when she came sucking Zak’s cock.

He ate her hungrily. She tasted hot, wet, and spicy. Every time she came, her cum filling his mouth, he wanted more. Needed more of her. And when he slid his fingers into her ass, she came screaming out his name as Zak emptied himself all over her face and breasts. Then she stood up, and he nearly begged her to take him in her mouth when she told him to lift her. He was buried inside of her again, and he started to lay her over the table when she told Zak to come to her back.

“Fuck me this way.” Her body was no longer wrapped around him, but her legs were spread. Zak moved up behind her and when she told him to take her, he looked up at him. There was no way she wanted them both to fuck her. “Please. I’m dying to have you both in me at the same time. Fuck me, Zak. Please, take me.”

It took some doing. She was shorter than both of them, and Jed ended up holding her around his waist while Zak moved to take her tight cherry. As he moved slowly, his cock filling her, Jed could feel the sweat rolling down his back in an effort not to come too soon. As soon as Zak was buried deep within her she looked up at him.

Putting her on the ground again, he was careful not to hurt her. Christ, if she moaned or even groaned just a little, he was finished. And when he pulled back as Zak moved forward, he had to take several deep breaths before he was able to move again.

“Christ, this is wonderful. Fuck me please. Make me come this way.” Jed watched her face for any sign of pain, but the harder Zak fucked her from behind, the harder her pussy hit his groin. He held her hips to steady her as Zak pulled hard at her breasts. When he looked at his cock as it moved in and out of her body, Jed threw back his head and came, his entire body feeling the release as if it were his first time.

Zak came too, his dragon moving over his body as if he wanted to shift. When she screamed out her own release, Jed came again, this time feeling the world shift under his feet and his heart nearly explode. Stars danced behind his lids as he held her to him and bit deeply into her shoulder, bringing her again as she went limp in his arms.

Jed couldn’t move. Not that he was in any kind of hurry right now, but he was sure that she was cold. Lifting his head, he looked into Zak’s eyes and knew just what he was feeling. This woman was the best thing that had ever happened to them. Bar none.

“I love you, Jed. I think I always have, but I really do love you.” Jed nodded, too overwhelmed with emotion to do much more than that. His eyes were filled with tears, blurring his vision as he told Zak that he loved him as well. Zak backed from her, his cock still semi-hard, and lifted Lindsey into his arms while he dressed. Jed was shaking a little, his body weak from the most amazing climax. When Zak handed him Lindsey, he sat down on the table and held her while Zak dressed too.

They didn’t say anything on the way home. He drove slowly, his body sated for now, and thought of what they had done tonight. It was going to make their bedroom more fun, he thought, and looked over at Zak when he laughed.

“She’s never going to be boring, is she?” Jed said he didn’t think so. “And our children, do you suppose they’ll be just like her?”

“Yes. More so, I’m betting.” He thought about it. “I hope they are just like her. She’s all I ever wanted in a mate and more.”

“Yeah, me too.” As Zak sat there, the same goofy grin on his face that he was sure what was on his, Jed laughed again. “What is it?”

“Tomorrow. I was worried about her going to talk to the police about what she’d found at the house and what she’d done while there. But now, I’m sure she can handle about anything.”

Tomorrow would be hard on her, but Jed was pretty sure that she could handle it. He knew that he felt better about it already. As they pulled in front of their home, he lifted her out of the back seat and carried her inside. The bed was big enough for the three of them, but both he and Zak moved out of the room at the same time to go to the deck surrounding the house. Daisy was waiting for them on the railing.

“Master, there are more dragons coming.” Jed nodded. Lindsey had already told him that she had felt them. “One is sick and will need attention when he arrives. The female, his sister, is not well either, but she is stronger than him.”

“Does Asher know?” She said that she’d told him before coming here. “Good. I have a favor to ask of you. And you may turn me down should you wish. But know that I have cleared it with your king. I would like for you to stay with Lindsey at all times. I know that you’ll have other work to do. I’m not sure what that would be, but I’d very much like for you to be her helper.”

“Me, my lord? You wish for me to care for your mate?” She bowed low before him, her small wings spread out so that she was nearly flat with it. “It will be my greatest honor, my lord. To watch over the one that will keep us safe.”

“You honor us with your help.” Zak nodded at her as well when she looked at him. “Daisy, she’s breeding, did you know that?”

“We all do, my lord. She will have a great son, and he will gather us all together and keep us safe. The king and his child will rule with a firm but fair hand, and we will be united again, as a great family.”

After she left them, Jed looked out over the trees and mountains. It was going to be a good life from now on, for all of them. He grinned when he thought of what his dad would say when he found out about the children coming.

Chapter 13

The pair of dragons arrived just before the sun came up. The brother, Dawod, was indeed very ill. He’d been shot by something iron, and the poison was running through his body through his blood. As he lay there resting, Elbert tended to his sister, Ada. She, he knew, was going to be a handful.

As Lindsey translated what the dragon wanted, he could see the sparkle in her eye. Lindsey was going to hit the big dragon if the being kept up with her demands. “She said that he will need wart berry root. Do you know what that is? There was some in a field about a mile or so back, she’s telling me.”

“There is some drying in the barn that we can start with. I’ve already made a poultice with some of it for his wounds. And a tea for his belly.” Elbert glanced at the dragon before talking to Lindsey again. “You can take her should you like.”

“I’m going to hurt her if she doesn’t stop barking orders at me. Doesn’t she see that we’re doing the best we can?” When Lindsey turned to the dragon, he could almost understand what she was saying but not enough to help. It had been too many years since he’d heard the language spoken, and more so since he’d said any of the words.

As Lindsey sent the now healed Salomon on his way to gather what he could, Elbert poured the mixture over the wounds that were deep and hot with fever. He looked at Lindsey when she said his name. She asked him if he was going to make it.

“I don’t know. He’s very ill and coming here has weakened him a great deal. Perhaps in a few days, after much rest, I’ll have a better answer for you.” Dawod moved his wings for him when he moved closer to put more of the herbs on him. “Do you know what has touched him? What iron will do to a dragon? Any dragon?”

“I read in the book you gave me that it’s the same as giving them poison. What I don’t understand, and maybe we’ll figure this out, is why someone would shoot him with it. I mean, what harm has he done to them, this hunter of dragons?” As she moved to help him with Ada’s wounds, he thought of how to answer her when she continued. “There are things in that book that scare me, Elbert. Did you know that every part of the dragon’s body, even their blood, is magical? I mean, I guess in a way I knew that, but I can see why someone would hunt them now. But they’re so…wonderfully beautiful. They’re majestic and wholly without compare to anything we’ve ever seen in this century. Why kill them?”

He wondered as well. At one time, when he’d been but a child, the skies were filled with the big creatures. Some of them were smaller than even Daisy, who now sat upon Lindsey’s shoulder.

He wondered, as did Jacob, if this would mean they’d have to take more care with the animals that roamed in the woods surrounding the land. A dragon could eat its weight in meat daily, and this dragon they were helping weighed at least fifty stone. With the combined amount of them that were here now, the deer and other animals would not last a season. He decided to talk to Asher about it.

The dragon Dawod was getting worse. Even as he moved to help Elbert tend to his wounds, he was dying. He looked at his sister and knew that she could see it too. When her body stiffened and she stood up, Lindsey wrapped her arms around her great body and held her. The big dragon nudged her shoulder, and when Lindsey stepped away from her, she took to the skies.

“She wants us to make him comfortable.” Elbert nodded. “She said she was sorry for her temper, but that she had known for several days now that he wasn’t going to make it. He took the iron meant for her.”

When it was time, Dawod nodded at him, his eyes burning with fever and pain. Elbert wanted to end his suffering now but knew that he could not. The dragon was as much a part of his magic as any of the other animals that roamed the area. Shifting to his great dog, he watched as the dragon took his last breaths, knowing what was going to come next…as had his sister.

Dawod raised his hand and put it gently on Lindsey. He could have easily crushed her, but he only pushed her to a sitting position as he sat up a little to look into her eyes. It cost him a great deal, his body already weak with the poison, and he moved slowly as he captured her fully with his magic. Lindsey and her mates were about to get something profound, and Elbert was glad to have been there to see it.

His magic, all of what he was and who he was, shifted from him to her. Ada had known that she could have taken it; the magic of her brother would have rightly come to her. But she’d forfeited it for Lindsey, the woman who would help more than just the two of them. As his magic left his body, the part of him that made him dragon, his beautiful but damaged wings, rose up from his body and moved to Lindsey. As they wrapped around her, Dawod’s magic was spent. As he disappeared, his body no longer his, small faerie dust sprinkled to the earth and flowers bloomed brighter and stronger where his body had been. A reminder to all that came to this area that a great loss was felt this day.

A great cry from the mountains was heard. The ground trembled from the pain of Ada’s loss. As trees swayed in the morning sun, the dragon brothers of Eve and Anthony came to the clearing, as did Silco, his mate, and their child. Even Salomon, far away on a job, returned to pay homage to one of their fallen. Jacob and his own sons, strong and respective, stayed back, their heads bowed low as they dropped to one knee. Dawod had not been in their lives long. Some did not even know him, but they did respect that there had been a great loss.

Lindsey was picked up a few minutes later. She was fine, she told Zak as he carried her to the porch. And for all outward appearances, she looked no different than she had before. But he knew, as did the others, that Lindsey had been given a great gift, greater than any before her had been given. She was given the magic of a powerful and very old dragon. Elbert shifted back to his human and watched her carefully after giving her a large glass of fresh juice.

“What happened?” No one answered her question, and she looked at him. “You were there, Elbert. What happened? I know that he died, but after that, I’m not sure.”

“He has given himself to you and your mates.” Lindsey asked him what that meant. “You are more dragon than human now. I do not know if you will be able to shift, but you can fly with them. They will no longer just speak to you here, but over long distances as well. The man who killed Dawod, you will know him on sight. His blood now is a part of yours so that you can protect all that come here. Asher and Essie are their king and queen, but you are their savior more than ever. You are now, all of you, Dragon Saviors.”

Jacob bowed when Elbert did, then the others. He could see from the corner of his eye that the other dragons, too, were paying their respect. The men and women that lived here, now and in the future, would be cared for and protected above even themselves. The dragons would be safe here now and forever.

“I did nothing that you didn’t do to help them.” Lindsey was embarrassed, everyone could see that, but Elbert nodded at her and said nothing. “Were you given this thing? This gift?”

“Nay, I am not worthy of it.” He hadn’t meant to make her upset, but she stood up so quickly that he backed away, his dog whimpering within him. “I did not mean that the way that you seem to think. I am not the one that was chosen by the former queen. I do not have it in me…I have more power now than I can use, more than I have ever needed to survive. But in the coming years, decades and decades from now, the dragons will need you more than ever. Protecting them, healing them as you tried to do with Dawod, was…you did this without thought to your own safety. Nay, you did this because you were the only one that could. The rest, the family, has received some of what you have been gifted, but you have it all. All of the dragon’s magic.”

She sat on the chair for the rest of the afternoon. When, at lunchtime or thereafter, the police showed up, Lindsey told them all that she knew and then walked with them to the house that had been her prison. Elbert did not go with her, but sent Jacob along with Zak and Jed. Elbert had things to do, and they would not get done with him taking a stroll with the police.

Essie joined him in the house a bit later. “She will do fine, won’t she, Elbert? I have come to love her like a sister, and I don’t want anything to happen to her.”

“She is like you, my lady. An immortal.” Essie told him that wasn’t what she meant. “You mean this thing with the police? She has made her peace with the man that harmed her. And he is no longer here to remind her of what had happened. Lady Lindsey will be better when this is over, yes, but she is well now.”

“Did you know that we’re to have a child? Lindsey and I are both pregnant?” He said that he did, as did most of the house. “I’m worried about that too. I don’t know if I can be a mother, or a very good one anyway.”

“You will be the best. The two of you, Lady Lindsey and you, will raise your children with your hearts, not what your parents or lack of them have taught you. Great children, both men and women, will come to this family now, and more as the others gain their mates as well. We will have much to celebrate in the coming months.” He handed her a glass of the juice he’d given to Lindsey, and smiled when she drank it down quickly. “You will need to drink more, my child. You will need a great deal of rest as well. Having a dragon child will take a great deal out of you.”

“I will.” After a little more conversation, she left him to his work. Caroline appeared in his kitchen just after two, and he told her what he’d witnessed. He was still smiling about it when she shook her head at him.

“You are an old softy. Do the men know that?” He said nothing, not wanting to give her any kind of thought to tease him more. “I have come to tell you that the other dragons are coming. Not as many as we had thought, but a few more. You should also know that the earth has agreed to help out with the meat and other items that you will need. All the animals, all of them, are breeding now and will continue to do so until things are evened out. And we have called in more to…it feels a bit odd to do this, as if we are bringing them here to die, but the earth is so happy to have their dragons back that they’re willing to help at most anything.”

“Have you seen the faerie circle that Dawod has left here?” She told him that she had. “It is a glorious thing, to see that again. Not that I wish them to die, but to see the magic to return to this realm again. We will have to celebrate come harvest time. I’ve even noticed that the trees and fruits are heavy with their bounty too. I will begin to make ways to preserve as much as I can of that as well.”

Elbert thought that Caroline should stay a while and she said she’d think on it. Abraham was not doing well in his studies to become more in with the century, so she’d sent him to her sister. He would, Caroline said, do much better with her. As they began preparations for dinner, the family returned home to say that the police were going to begin looking for Cox. And the women. It would be a long hard winter on them, but Elbert knew that they’d have to look beyond the yard of Cox and to the caves.

Ralph Sharp moved along the path that he’d been walking for several days now without making a sound. He was as silent as the woods around him and knew that he was close to the thing he was tracking.

Three days ago he’d seen his first big one…well, two of them actually. And he’d actually gotten off several shots with his big guns before they’d disappeared behind a mountain. He knew that he’d hit the bigger of the two of them, but now the sucker was gone. Dragons were going to give him everything, just as soon as he could prove to the world that they were actually out there. There were too many skeptics in the world as far as he was concerned.

About ten years ago, he’d been out with some hunting buddies. Seldom did they actually bag anything but a few hangovers and some unexplained cuts and bruises. But every year they’d get together by telling their families that they were going hunting and disappear for about two weeks. Sometimes longer, but seldom any less than that.

They’d been really drunk, he would admit that now, but they saw a big dark shape under the water where they’d been staying. It moved like a fucking torpedo and they’d watched it from the top decking of their cabin. But when the others went in the house as the rain got to be too much, the big thing stuck its head out of the water and stared at him. Even from across the deep lake, he knew it had been huge. And when the thing rose up out of the water and took off to the skies, it had taken him the rest of the trip to convince himself and his buddies that he’d actually seen a dragon. Now they avoided him, telling him that he was off his rocker. Ralph didn’t care; he was after bigger game and he’d not touched a drop of liquor since.

He’d done a lot of research on the thing he’d seen. Honestly, he had thought he was nuts as well, until someone had come to him to tell him that he was on the right track, and she had given him a thick book on dragons. Ralph had read it cover to cover so many times that he was sure that he could recite each line of it without turning to the page. And it had been very helpful as well. The woman, Helena, had told him she’d be back to help him when the time was right. That had been so long ago he figured she had forgotten him.

But he’d not forgotten her or the dragons. And lately, he had seen five more, all of them heading in the same direction…somewhere in Ohio. Once they were there it was as if they simply disappeared. But Ralph knew that they were out there now, and he was going to find one.

The book had told him their worth. After much research on what some of the old words in the book meant, he discovered the dragons were purely magic, and that if he were to get one alive, he would be set for the rest of his life. Their tears alone could make him very wealthy. Then there were the other parts of them.
