Misha
M y heart hadn’t stopped pounding from the moment Azurus and I had arrived in Queen Gaia’s throne room.
I could still feel the frantic pulse of fear and victory that had come from defeating my father—or perhaps it was defeating the lingering hold his abuse had over me, at least for the moment.
Those residual emotions had masked the physical and inner heat that had been rising within me since the moment The Black Mirror had shattered.
“I don’t know what to do,” I gasped, glancing warily up at Azurus.
All this time, I’d been desperate to go into heat. I’d felt myself somehow lesser because I hadn’t launched straight into the same state of nature that my brothers seemed to have embraced without any hesitation. Now the moment was upon me, and I was damned if I knew what to do about it.
But looking up into Azurus’s eyes somehow stilled my panic.
He loomed somehow larger above me. His delicious, rain-like scent enveloped me, and the wickedness of his grin as he gazed down at me, like he was contemplating how he wanted to devour me, went a long way toward melting me out of the uncertainty that gripped me.
“You are a brave and passionate omega,” Azurus told me, caressing the side of my face with one large hand. “You know what to do.”
“I—”
He silenced my further protest by tilting my face up to him and bending to slant his mouth over mine in a searing kiss.
We’d kissed before now, but something about the need and openness behind that kiss felt as though it reached into my soul.
It was hot and filled with desire, and as my mate explored me with his tongue and lips, I caught my breath, realizing what the difference was.
I could feel him deep within my heart. His love and desire for me wound its way through my body and soul as if they were my own emotions. I could even sense his thoughts through the wide-open cord that seemed to join us now.
“Yes, my sweet,” he said in a low growl between kisses. “Somewhere in the midst of all this, we bonded.”
I leaned back to study him, my mouth slightly open. “I thought bonding only happened through heat,” I said, my cheeks flushing hot as images of exactly what that entailed swirled through my mind.
“Apparently not,” Azurus said, taking my hand and leading me across the room to the huge bed. “But I’m willing to attempt to see if we can make the bond even stronger through joining and knotting in heat if you are.”
His words shot through me like lightning, bringing several things to my awareness at once.
I could feel his confidence within me, which changed how I felt about myself.
Azurus believed in me, which made it so much easier to think I was capable of greatness.
But also, a wave of fiery warmth spread through my body, making the clothes I wore feel ponderous.
More than that, my body seemed to be opening up to my mate. For the first time in my life, I felt a welcome rush of slick seep through my eager hole. The sensation made me moan with need and embarrassment. I loved it and was mortified at the same time.
“I don’t know what’s happening to me,” I said, clutching at Azurus’s tunic but turning my face away from him. “I feel so?—”
There were no words for how I felt, but as I breathed in a strong burst of Azurus’s scent and glanced up to find him watching me with fierce, unconcealed lust, my hole spasmed, sending even more slick spilling from me.
“Oh, Goddess!” I gasped, writhing where I stood, desperate to get out of my clothes.
Azurus laughed softly and stroked his hand around my head, finishing the motion by starting on the fastenings of my tunic. “There’s nothing to worry about,” he said, making quick work of the buttons of my dirty things. “It’s only heat. Haven’t you gone through heat before?”
I nodded tightly, not wanting to remember those horrible, painful, hollow times. “It was never like this. It was like a sickness, an ache within me that wouldn’t go away.”
“And your father never gave your heat to one of his cronies?”
I hated the question but was vaguely satisfied that the answer was no. “He tried to, but I wouldn’t do it.”
Azurus nodded, and thankfully, that was the end of that discussion. “You’ve nothing to worry about,” he said, pulling my shirt off over my head and tossing it aside. “I’m here with you. I’ll take you through this first consummated heat as carefully as I can.”
I tried to say thank you, but instead, a deep, pleading sigh escaped from my lungs as the cool air of Azurus’s bedroom brushed against my exposed skin.
I should have been embarrassed about being naked, or terrified at being so exposed in front of an alpha, but it was Azurus, my fated mate, my dragon love, and all I wanted was to be his to do with as he pleased.
“I need you,” I whispered, reaching for him then pulling back slightly, like I didn’t know what to do with my arms. “I want you.”
“I’m yours, my love,” Azurus said.
I still didn’t know what I was doing, but Azurus was so certain of himself. He reached for the fastenings of my trousers, loosening them, and then crouching as he pulled them down. I gasped again as my cock sprung free and as what felt like a huge amount of slick spilled down my thighs.
Azurus growled as he sucked in a breath of my scent. “You are sinfully delicious,” he said, bringing his face close to my belly so he could breathe me in. He planted an almost chaste kiss on my stomach—no, right above where my womb lay pulsing and waiting for him—then continued with his task.
He had to remove my boots and stockings before he could take my trousers off all the way.
It felt glorious to be completely naked in front of him, like that was my natural state and I should never be allowed to wear clothing in his presence again.
When he finished and stood to remove his own clothing, I hardly knew what to do with myself.
I wanted to preen and pose and display my heat-racked body for him.
I wanted to bend over the side of his bed and spread my cheeks for him, showing him my slick-messy hole and begging him to take me.
I was too mesmerized by his body as he undressed, though. My eyes went wide as he pulled off his tunic, revealing his broad, slightly hairy chest. I was almost paralyzed with the need to kiss and lick him and rub myself against him.
That was nothing to the feelings that welled in me when he pulled off his boots and kicked his trousers aside. When he straightened, his thick, proud, alpha cock stood out to me, demanding attention.
I couldn’t have denied him if I’d wanted to.
He hadn’t really asked for anything, but the driving impulse to mate that burned within me told me exactly what to do.
I sank to my knees in front of him, gripping his hips and burying my face into the sweat-and-rain-smelling scent of his groin and rubbing against the hot wonder of his large balls and firm cock for a moment.
I moaned and my body trembled, slick gushing from me, at the sensations and scents that filled me.
That was nowhere near what my desperate body needed, though. I inched back and glanced up at my mate briefly before taking his cock in one hand, licking my way up its length, then closing my mouth around his flared head.
The sounds I made as I sucked and swallowed, taking him deeper than I thought I was capable of without any practice, were sinful. My body knew what it wanted, what I’d been made for, and it didn’t want to waste any time.
“Misha,” Azurus groaned, grabbing a handful of my hair. The pleasure in his voice made me feel like, at last, I’d done something completely right. “My love,” Azurus panted, thrusting into my throat.
I should have been terrified at the aggression that overcame my mate.
Considering how everything else frightened me, I should have been weeping and screaming in fear.
Tears absolutely streamed down my face, but only because everything felt so good.
I was a vessel for my alpha to fill, and however he wanted to use me was a blessing to me.
Within moments, I was gulping and swallowing as hot cum hit the back of my throat.
Azurus groaned with orgasm, thrusting harder to enjoy it.
He held my head to keep me in place, otherwise I might have melted into the floorboards, it felt so good.
I could almost feel my insides being coated with his seed, and nothing had ever soothed me so much.
I was so relaxed when he pulled out that I almost forgot to breathe. Azurus pulled me to my feet, which prompted me to take a deep breath, then lifted me into his arms for a passionate kiss.
“You are amazing,” he said between ravishing my mouth and groping my body. “Everything about you is amazing.”
“More,” I panted, grasping at him frantically. “Give me more. Use me for your pleasure. I need it. I need you to fill me with your seed.”
Azurus made a sound somewhere between a laugh and a groan and kissed me again.
For the first time, I was disappointed in his kiss. I wanted so much more than our mouths to be joined. I wanted to be spread and splayed beneath him while he bred me.
He must have heard the cry of my body and heart.
When he ended our kiss, he shifted so he could lay me across his bed.
I noticed the bright blue of the coverlet for the first time and the rich warmth of the wood that made up the bed’s headboard and posts.
A quick glance around told me that the entire room was decorated beautifully, but those details quickly disappeared as Azurus flipped me to my stomach and pulled me back so I was perched on the edge of the bed with my dripping ass lifted high.
“You are everything I’ve ever dreamed you would be,” he said in a low, sexy voice before bending down to bring his mouth to my hole.
