Page 18 of The Dragon Shifters’ Enemy (Dragon’s Reign #7)

He watched as the Black Dragon King went under the waterfall’s spray.

Valerius turned towards him, though his eyes were closed and his head was tilted back.

The Black Dragon King’s long hair was pushed back from his forehead.

The soft waves were smoothed by the force of the water.

He ran his hands through his hair, a smile upon his lips. Caden was awestruck by the sight.

“You’re beautiful!” Caden called.

Valerius cracked his eyelids open, that smile growing. “Say that closer to me.”

Caden waggled his eyebrows at this “challenge”. “Oh, what’ll you do to me if I say it nearer?”

Those eyes smoldered at him. “Give you exactly what you deserve .”

A thrill went through Caden. Heat pooled in his groin and his cock plumped, banging against his stomach as he swam eagerly over.

Valerius watched his approach with hooded eyes.

Just as he was just a few feet away, Caden dove down and went for Valerius’ legs.

He grasped the Black Dragon King’s ankles and pulled him under the surface.

He looked up just as Valerius’ glared down at him in mock anger.

Caden grinned and bubbles left his mouth as he started to laugh.

Then he let out a water “oooooh!” as Valerius grinned evilly, kicked loose of Caden’s hands, and swam towards him like a shark.

Caden frantically clawed through the water to get away from Valerius, knowing he was the “prey” in this scenario. He felt one of Valerius’ hands touch his right calf and he nearly squealed. He managed to just keep out of reach, but the Black Dragon King was in hot pursuit and would catch him.

What can I do? He’s faster and stronger than me! What about an ice wall? Can I do that?

Iolaire was deeply asleep, head resting on Raziel’s chest which was rising and falling peacefully.

Knowing that it was quite a bit better to let sleeping Dragons lie then wake them to ask for magic help, Caden swept a hand behind him, envisioning a thin wall of ice separating him from Valerius. And it worked!

Valerius knocked against it and reared back in surprise as the ice wall--well, it was more like an ice windscreen in size and curved too as it had followed the wave of his hand--was clear.

Valerius blinked and looked up at Caden.

Caden, who should have been making his escape, celebrated a little too long as flames suddenly appeared around Valerius’ teeth and hot water jetted from his mouth.

The ice wall melted in half a moment and Valerius lunged through to grab him.

The Black Dragon King brought them both to the surface again.

Caden drew in a grateful breath. They’d been underwater a long time and he’d felt like he could have stayed under far longer, but still it was good to breathe fresh air.

That was until he scented sulfur again from the hot springs. Valerius kissed his wrinkled nose.

“You did say I would stop smelling it,” Caden said.

“In time.” Valerius leaned in, eyes alight with an almost devilish glee. His voice dropped. “I will have to distract you until you do.”

Caden grinned as they began to kiss. Valerius was masterful, but gentle.

His right hand cupped Caden’s chin and held him in place as his tongue dove into Caden’s mouth.

Caden rasped his teeth over that teasing tongue.

Valerius drew Caden's lower lip into his mouth and sucked until it was wet and swollen before letting it go.

Caden’s hands had wound around Valerius’ back.

He drew his fingernails along the Black Dragon King’s spine all the way down to the well of his buttocks.

Valerius’ ass was big and muscular. It defied his attempts to squeeze those globes like they were ripe fruit.

He was so muscular and built rather like those idealized Greek statues, but with a far larger cock.

That cock was erect and kept bobbing against Caden’s belly. It was hot compared to the water. He took one hand off that luscious ass and wrapped that hand around Valerius’ velvety organ. It pulsed against the prison of his palm and Valerius grunted into their kiss.

Caden began to stroke the Black Dragon King slowly. Up and down and back up again before sliding his hand all the way to the back of Valerius’ balls. They were hotter even than his cock and Caden rolled them between his fingers.

A powerful thigh slid between Caden’s own legs.

He gratefully received it, boring down upon it to get some friction on his own cock.

There was a thrill in simply humping against the Black Dragon King’s leg while Caden pleasured him with his hand.

His other hand moved around from front to back to tweak Valerius’ dark brown nipples.

More appreciative grunts from Valerius had his cock jerking with every one.

Valerius’ hand on his chin slid down Caden’s throat.

He rested his thumb over Caden’s pulsepoint for a moment.

It was wild how big Valerius was as he easily spanned Caden’s neck.

He felt almost small and fragile in comparison.

That hand slid further down and Valerius’ fingers traced the hollow of Caden’s throat.

He tapped it against Caden’s skin at the same rate as Caden’s heartbeat.

Caden whined in the back of his throat and ground down harder on Valerius’ thigh.

Valerius’ cock had swelled further, or that’s how it felt to Caden as he ran his thumb over the massive, spongy head and felt the slit pull apart with his ministrations.

Valerius’ hand had dropped from the hollow of Caden’s throat to now following the hills and valleys of muscles on his chest and stomach, heading south, towards his already aching cock. He needed Valerius' touch and he soon got it.

Valerius’ big hand grasped Caden’s cock, practically swallowing it.

To be touched all over his shaft and head had Caden bucking a little wildly in the water.

He didn’t want to cum too soon, but Valerius’ perfect rhythmic stroking and that pressure that was just this side of too much, which was absolutely perfect, was causing him to peak early.

He tried to bat Valerius’ hand away, but the Black Dragon King was having none of it.

He began to increase that wonderful rhythm.

Caden wailed as the heat in his cock increased and then spread out to the rest of his body.

The water should have boiled as the very tips of his fingertips, the top of his head and the ends of his toes tingled .

He felt like a live wire. Valerius chuckled, which had Caden opening his eyes.

He had even realized he had closed them.

He blinked as he saw a layer of delicate frost covering Valerius’ exposed skin before it melted and was replaced again.

“Cum, Caden. I want a little slickness when I take you,” Valerius rumbled into his mouth.

Unable to speak, Caden just nodded and shivered in pleasure and that thin layer of frost spread out around them on the water. There was even some snow in the air that swayed and sparkled in the breeze before melting away.

Caden’s head tilted back as he let out a raw moan of pleasure.

He saw that the helix in the sky seemed brighter than ever.

With an embarrassed, yet pleased, thought, he wondered if it reacted every time they made love.

He was sure that some clever person would connect these two things somehow and it would be all over the news.

Or in some book or movie. There would be a book, movie, television show about him and Valerius, he was certain of it!

But then his thoughts completely derailed to something far more pleasant. Valerius’ hand on his cock that was running up and down his length so fast. Caden’s hips got into the action and he accidentally squeezed Valerius’ cock, which had the Black Dragon King laughing breathlessly.

“Not so hard, Caden,” Valerius sounded amused.

He drew Caden’s hands to his shoulders and neck before diving into another kiss that was as breath stealing as their underwater chase. Caden held onto the Black Dragon King as if he might fall if he didn’t.

As he felt his balls drawing up tight against his body, Caden pressed himself wildly against Valerius.

Their kisses became more frantic with a clash of tongues, lips and teeth.

He ranked his nails along the tops of Valerius’ shoulders and then down his hands.

Valerius growled and gave one last stroke of Caden’s cock before he was cumming.

Frost streaked out in every direction. Valerius’ hair grew stiff with ice.

Their breath smoked in the air. Snow swirled around them in a near tornado of delicate flakes that reflected the sunlight.

It was magical. Even as Caden arched and felt himself empty, he was smiling. It was so very beautiful and perfect.

Though his cock was underwater, Valerius cupped his hand around the top of it and managed to capture some of Caden’s essence.

Even before Caden had a chance to sag back down into the water after his orgasm claimed him, Valerius’ fingers were at his ass.

He worked quickly as his semen was surely washing away.

But there was slickness as two fingers slid inside of him at once.

Caden was so relaxed from his orgasm that he merely whined a little at the shock of it.

“Easy, my love,” Valerius murmured into his mouth. “Must stretch you just a little before I--I get inside of you. Need to be inside of you.”

That last guttural response had Caden almost hardening again.

He hissed through his teeth as his body went from spent to heating up again for yet another round of lovemaking.

From the look of near agony on Valerius’ face, it would be a quick coupling for them.

That was all right though. Caden had a feeling they were going to spend all day and night here.

They’d have plenty of chances for leisurely lovemaking. Now, he would give himself to Valerius.
