Chapter Twenty-Five

SIYANA

My hips ground back and forth across his mouth as my head tilted back, the tips of my hair brushing across my ass as I lost myself to the sensation. Never before had anyone made me feel so wholly devoured and revered.

Theo had an uncanny ability to make me feel like his prey and the most precious thing he’d ever held all at the same time.

When he told me he wouldn’t be able to stop once I agreed to this moment, I hadn’t imagined him refusing to let me off of him until I’d had a minimum of three orgasms. Never in my life had I experienced back-to-back releases, let alone three.

How I was the first person he’d touched sexually was beyond me at the display of skill. I suppose what one didn’t have in experience could be made up for with enthusiasm, and that was something he had in spades.

“I can’t—” I panted, overwhelmed with the sparks of pain and pleasure that came with the lashing of his tongue as it danced around my clit. It was too much.

“I’m. Not. Done. You can and you will.”

His possessive growl into my mind had me building up once more despite my pleas to him that I couldn’t. How did he know what my body could handle better than I did?

It was truly like our bodies had belonged to lovers in a past life, with the ease in which we settled into intimacy once we both gave in.

Fuck, I was so obsessed with this dragon. He’d worn me down both emotionally and physically in our weeks together, challenging me to reevaluate my small-minded thoughts and opinions about the world outside of my castle.

I couldn’t imagine going back to that life now. I wasn’t the same woman who hid away her thoughts and desires. No matter what I did, I’d never fit back into the box I’d confined myself to for so long.

The confidence I felt in who I was and what I stood for had chills running along my arms as he growled into my mind. “So fucking beautiful, and all mine.”

This was what I wanted when I’d declined countless suitors through the years. I wanted someone who would challenge me to be the best version of myself, even if it was a messy and painful route to get there. I didn’t want to live a stagnant life, wasting away in the corner as a man took the lead.

“In case you need to hear it, too, I’m yours, Sia.”

My core tightened, my release rushing through me with his words. Tears built in my eyes at the powerful emotions that came with it. It felt like a fucking spiritual experience having his mouth on my pussy and his voice in my mind at the same time.

A satisfied rumble flowed through him as he finally released his hold on my ass that kept me rooted to the spot. Bliss rolled through my mind as a tingling numbness set into my limbs. I had enough sense left to scoot down so he could sit up. As soon as he had the space, his arms wrapped around me, cocooning me against him as I settled in his lap. My head fell into the crook of his neck as I soaked in the moment, desperately clinging to the hope that we wouldn’t go backwards after this.

Fingers trailed along my back in a random pattern as I burrowed in closer to him. The shift of my hips had his cock pressing up against my core, igniting my desire once more, despite feeling entirely spent mere seconds before.

Knowing I was the only one who would touch him in return had an equally possessive need surging up in me. He’d told me he was mine, but I wanted to show him exactly what that meant.

Bringing my hand down between us, I reached for the top of his trousers, wanting to pull him out and sink down onto him. Before I could make contact, he pulled back and stopped me.

“I don’t want to rush this,” he whispered, staring down into my eyes. I could obviously feel his desire to do exactly what I wanted, but I had to respect his words. Perhaps it wouldn’t be a bad thing to slow this down before we did something we could never take back.

“Can I at least feel you?” I asked, moving off of him and settling at his side before he could respond. “You got to touch me. Fair is fair.”

While I appreciated his ability to slow things down when I wanted to jump into the deep end, I couldn’t help but wonder why I hadn’t felt him reach out with the bond at all yet. I’d prepared myself for the warmth and lightness that came with it.

His half-lidded eyes traced the features of my face before landing on my lips. “What did you have in mind?”

I lifted my hand to run over his cock, that strained impressively against his trousers, loving the way he inhaled sharply with such a small touch. “I want to connect with you in the same way.”

He nodded, and I wasted no time in pulling his trousers down before he could change his mind. For the second time, I was seeing his cock, and it was possible that I’d forgotten just how thick it was. I swallowed hard, thinking of what I’d planned in my head.

Could I even comfortably fit my mouth around him without my jaw aching within minutes? Or my teeth scraping against him?

“Afraid, wench?”

His teasing words had me scowling and grabbing his cock. It was ridiculous, how we could easily rile each other with the same tactics. One would think we could see through the words in the moment, but without fail, we each took the bait every time.

I worked my hand over his impressive length, unable to touch my fingers together around him. Maybe I was scared of it. Gratitude rolled through me at him urging me to slow down when I’d rushed to try to move to sex. There was no way I was ready for it.

Crawling over his leg after urging him to spread them, I settled between them, leaning down but leaving my ass in the air. His hands quickly came to gather my hair from my face, digging in possessively at the roots as he held it back.

“I’m not afraid of any part of you,” I finally answered before opening my mouth and guiding the tip in. I wrapped my lips around him tightly, sucking and pulling back to tease him.

He groaned, but it was unlike any sound I’d heard from him before. Perhaps it was more a mix of a growl and a throaty groan. His fingers tightened in my hair as he admitted, “I’m afraid of you, wench. I’m afraid of the spell you have on me, despite not having any magic within you. I’m afraid I’ll lose myself in you and not want to handle everything else waiting for us outside of this mountain.”

His words spurred me on, reminding me that I was the first person he would experience this with. Losing himself in my touch is exactly what he’d given me earlier, and I’d be damned if I gave up before I returned that same gift. Being able to turn yourself over to the moment, surrendering the mental load that plagued you, in favor of the way your partner was making you feel…It was a mortal magic.

My tongue lavished his tip, licking up the beads of cum that pooled with my touch. I took him in deeper, forcing myself to relax my jaw in order to accommodate his size. I ran my tongue along the underside of his cock as I slowly worked my mouth up and down.

“Gods, this is unreal.”

His hoarse words were music to my ears, and I knew from the way his balls clenched as I reached my free hand down to grab them that he wouldn’t last long. I wanted to toy with him and drag it out, as he had done for me, but if he enjoyed pleasing me as much as it felt like he did, he’d already been teasing himself for a long time now.

He deserved this release. I’d save my tactics for another day.

His hands moved around in my hair until one held it all at the nape of my neck. I couldn’t help but wonder what he was doing with his free hand. A smack echoed through the room before a slight sting settled on my ass.

Had he just spanked me?

The sudden touch had me jerking and choking on his cock, which earned a hum of approval from him.

“Am I enough to satisfy you, wench? Do I fill you to the brim?”

I blinked back tears as I pulled back slightly, somehow moaning around him with his words. The mouth on him was sinful and dangerous. I wasn’t sure I’d survive it.

“Answer me.”

I resumed my sucking and licking, working up and down his cock, learning the bulging veins on the underside that promised me loads of pleasure when I felt bold enough to try to take him inside of my pussy.

Another smack echoed, this time harder than the last. His hand smoothed over the tingling skin as he hummed.

“Are you ignoring me on purpose, wanting to be spanked? Naughty wenches don’t get what they ? —”

I took deep breaths through my nose as I worked him down into my throat, making him falter in his words. As much as I loved where this was going, I didn’t want this to be about me again.

“You’re not the one in control right now, Theo. Give in to me.”

I gagged a little again but was thankful as thicker spit entered my mouth, coating his cock and lubing the edges of my stretched lips. Using my hand at the base of his cock, I worked him up and down until he was grunting.

“I can’t wait to feel you inside of my pussy, claiming me completely when you finish.”

His hips jerked with my words before a feral snarl sounded in my head, and it felt like his beast talking as he rumbled, “Don’t say that. I won’t be able to hold back.”

I increased the pace of my hand over his length as I pulled back to focus my mouth’s attention on his tip. Swirling my tongue around it, I tossed back, “That’s the point. I want you to finish in my mouth so I can swallow you into me.”

I didn’t know where that came from, considering I’d never wanted such a thing before. My words weren’t a lie, though. I wanted every bit of him. It was all mine. After holding back from each other for weeks, I didn’t have a filter or the ability to refrain from letting every single thought flow freely now.

“Shit, Sia,” he breathed out, using his grip on my hair to force me down further onto his cock, bobbing my head in a rhythm that had him quickly spilling into my mouth. I swallowed him down greedily, continuing to bob my head up and down until he was all but dragging me off of him.

His breathing was ragged as we stared at each other, and I smirked. “Sensitive, huh?”

He barked out a deep laugh before pulling my head toward him, sealing our lips together. I was shocked that he didn’t care that I had the taste of him still on my tongue. Somehow, it turned me on even more as he kissed me so deeply, I wondered if there would ever be a piece of my body he didn’t touch.

I all but melted under his touch until he pulled me down next to him, breaking off our kiss as he let out a deep breath. “That was incredible.”

I curled into his side, feeling the most satisfied I had ever been in my life. His arm wrapped around me, anchoring me to him tightly and making me smirk against his chest.

“So, what now?” I asked, scared of the answer, but well aware that we couldn’t shy away from it any longer.

There was no going back from what we did, and I just hoped that there wouldn’t be any regret on his part. After all, he’d said he was saving his body for his mate. What if…what if that still wasn’t me?

“Mmm,” he rumbled, splaying his hand against my lower back and resting his head atop mine. “I’d like more of all of that.”

I cackled, smacking my hand on his chest lightly. “That’s not what I meant and you know it.”

His lips brushed against the top of my head and I felt his jovial mood dissipate, taking my smile with it. “I guess that is for us to figure out, isn’t it? I can’t tell you where we go from here. It’s a feat that my dragon was satisfied enough with marking each other with our scents to put off demanding the bond be established.”

Well, at least that answered my earlier thought.

"I don’t know how long I’ll be able to resist initiating it again,” he admitted with a heavy sigh that made my head move up and down with the breath in his lungs. “What I do know is that we need to head to Sanctum. I know you feel like you haven’t made progress in our training, but you have. Unfortunately, there will always be a gaping disparity in our prowess, due to my magic.”

It was my turn to sigh, deflating with his astute observation. “I don’t know how I’ll be able to protect you or Kaida if something goes wrong.”

I rolled to my back, forcing him to loosen his grip so I could stare up at the sparkling ceiling alongside him. How things had changed since the first time I’d seen it.

Silence wrapped around us as we each fell into our own thoughts. For the first time in weeks, I wasn’t filled with anxiety and pent-up anger. Sinda had been right about pleasures of the flesh, but I’d go to my grave before admitting that to her.

“Whatever happens, know that I will lay my life down before letting anything happen to you or Kaida. There’s nothing I wouldn’t give to ensure it.”

His admission, though sweet as it was, had the smallest iota of dread taking root in my gut.

“Let’s just hope it doesn’t come to that.”
