Dragons: Death by Reaper MC #4
Page 13
They give me a finger wave and leave me and Vaughn. “I wanted to bring them here to support you, but I also had to meet with Alastair to discuss the human foster system. If there are humans out there who are important but have any medical conditions, we could maybe make some kind of trade. I know this might sound weird but—”
I can feel my eyes widen. “You want me to give them a few drops of my blood to heal them and see if their DNA connects with the Dragon part? Some sort of twisted dating agency with a health insurance?” Vaughn winces but I’m just saying it out loud to think it over. “That might actually work. I mean, with the things I’m about to discuss…Dragons being able to take human jobs and mingle, open up…that would be a good thing. I just don’t know if it works. It did with Polina and Porter, but what’s to say my blood will keep doing that?”
“It’s just to touch base, Enya. I suggested it to Alastair because he needs to reach out to The Orderly about it. But it’s something to expand the Dragon kind and get us out of the solitude we’ve put ourselves in.” He glances back at Alastair. “They keep saying the sisters were put on this Earth for a purpose. Each having other, special abilities. We would be insane to pass it up. If it works, great. If it doesn’t? No harm done and we’ll grow slowly. The steps you’ve taken and set in motion for all of us are huge and slowly moving forward. Me reaching out to Alastair was a first step, let’s see what the future gives us before diving in headfirst.”
The corner of my mouth twitches. “I love the way you think. Even if you’re no longer in charge.”
“Sweetheart, this was Death by Reaper MC business. I’m just reporting back to you.” He leans in and places his mouth right next to my ear. “But make no mistake, I’m still the one in charge, and I’ll gladly show you once this meeting is done and I have you naked underneath me.”
My breath hitches and I have to clear my throat. I pull back and see the mischief dancing in his eyes. “Behave,” I tell him in a fierce tone before I mutter, “Let’s get this meeting over with so you can show me.”
He tips his head back and a bark of laughter rips from his throat. I let my eyes feast on the strong man in front of me releasing a careless laugh. A strong man who was a total ass when I met him and turned into my rock who gave me so much to live for along with a purpose in life.
“I love you.” The words fall over my lips without thinking.
His pupils darken and his voice comes out husky when he replies, “You touched my heart the day I saw you, making it swell to hold all the love I have for you to fill an eternity with.”
“Fancy words will get you laid,” I mutter and spin on my heels. “But duty calls.”
Vaughn chuckles. “I love it when you take control.”
I glance over my shoulder and throw his own words back at him. “Remember that when you’re naked and underneath me.”
A growl rumbles through his chest and it makes me smile big. Taking a deep breath, I release it slowly. This man keeps me on my toes and yet gives me the support and freedom one needs to grow. Moving one step forward at a time.
And that’s exactly what I’m doing as I take my first step inside the room. All eyes land on me. The feel of Vaughn’s hand on my lower back radiates warmth and comfort. Strength. Support. Deep down I know we will always keep moving forward toward a new future we both envisioned.
Epilogue
Six years later
***Vaughn***
“You need to picture yourself as if you’re standing in front of a mirror, Cam,” Enya repeats for the third time to our daughter who is still in Dragon form and is trying to shift back.
We’re in the training area and our six-year-old is trying to learn how to fly. Well, I guess she has the flying part under control, it’s the shifting back that’s been giving her issues. Enya has more patience than anyone else when it comes to kids and the reason she’s teaching them.
There are eleven other Dragon children in this class. Though Enya is the one who teaches this class most times, we do take turns in teaching our kids how to fly, how to handle themselves as a Dragon, and the process of shifting.
The reason we take turns is because every Dragon is different, and we want to show our kids that working together lightens the load and makes everyone stronger. We don’t have any issues with fertility anymore and due to Polina’s help, and the necessary medical technology, there also hasn’t been any problems with giving birth.
I push away from the wall because I can tell our son is trying to taunt his big sister when he shifts to human and back to a Dragon in the blink of an eye. The kids wear a long robe which is tied with a clasp on their shoulder. This way it doesn’t get in the way when they shift and they’re also not naked, giving them the freedom they need.
“Regal,” I snap. “Stop taunting your sister.”
Regal hangs his head. “Okay, Daddy.”
But the little man shifts back into a tiny Dragon to taunt one last time. Four years old and such a handful.
Regal is completely silver while his sister is a white Dragon. Regal hiccups and a burst of flames hits the air before he shifts back into his human form.
Giggles fill the air. “Oh,” Cam squeals, standing in front of Enya in her human form. “Now I know what to do. The trick to shifting quickly is to laugh. Everyone should always make me laugh when I need to shift back.”
I place my hand on her long dark hair that’s mixed with a few strands of white and tell her, “You didn’t think too hard when you were laughing, this allowed you to shift without forcing it. But you did very well, Cam.”
I get a brilliant smile and her arms circle my legs as she hugs me tight. My gaze connects with Enya and there’s so much love aimed at us, it fills my chest with pride to know how perfect this moment is, and how grateful I am to have them in my life.
I know we’ve built all of it together, but if it wasn’t for this woman I’m not so sure I would be standing here. Not to mention the many children running around who are the new sworn promise of a future for our clan.
“Who’s ready to party?” Lucio yells as he steps inside the training area.
His two sons, Dino and Rex, run into his open arms. Today is Rex’s birthday and they are having a party to celebrate. This gives me and Enya some time to ourselves and I have to say, with all the busy meetings the both of us have had, it’s something we’ve looked forward to; spending some quality time together.
We say our goodbyes and we watch them all skip away. Enya thinks we’ll head home but I have different plans. I close the door of the training area, locking the both of us inside. Enya reaches for the blankets that are on the floor.
“Leave them,” I tell her, my voice hoarse and filled with lust due to the vision before me.
Her ass is jutting out as she’s bent over. She shoots a look over her shoulder and I should have known she would defy me as she grabs the blankets and throws them at me, making a run for it at the same time. Bad move, if she thinks she can outrun me.
My legs eat up the distance as I wrap her in my arms. Her giggles flow from her body and make my cock twitch as she spins around and throws her arms around my neck. Our mouths are so close and almost touching.
“Mine,” I mutter and bite down on her bottom lip, licking away the sting the next instant.
“Yes,” she moans into my mouth when I claim her lips.
My hands slide to her ass and I squeeze hard before I shove down her pants. I need to be inside her and fast. Our clothes hit the floor while we keep stealing kisses and finally, we’re skin to skin.
The heat we’re wrapped in is only a hint of the desire clawing underneath our skin. This woman has made me crave her more each day to the next. The love our bond is mixed with is solid and has been growing ever since we met.
And it’s not only our lives but the stability of everything around us. The connections with other MCs, other Dragon clans across the country, along with the people who are a part of our own clan. The new Dragons who are welcome
d in our midst and the children born due to the new matings.
Deep down we all know the woman I hold close is the one who made it all possible. Who fought for something she believed in. For the very thing my parents envisioned but never had the chance to fulfill their dreams. Yet now…now I get to say we have achieved so much, and we still manage to grow and move forward each day.
“Remember,” I tell her as I grab my cock and let it slide between her folds. “This was the very place I claimed you for the first time.”
Her nails dig into my back as I slowly sink inside her. The feel of her tight heat wraps around me, squeezing as I start to thrust.
“Years ago, and yet I remember it as if it was yesterday,” she groans and rotates her hips. “We’re not going to blast away half of the building this time. It took months to repair and rebuild.”
A slight chuckle leaves me at the reminder. My fingers dig into her hips to hold her in place while I cage her in between the wall and my body. Instead of pounding frantically I take my time sliding out and back in. She clenches around me and I know she’s already close.
I place kisses along her jaw until I reach her ear. “Come for me,” I whisper and grind my hips to make sure to put pressure on her clit as I fill her up.
I pull my head back in time to watch as her head falls back against the wall. Her eyes close and her lips part slightly as she moans my name through her orgasm.
“Gorgeous,” I grunt.
The way her pussy is squeezing the fuck out of my cock leaves me no other choice but to follow her into the orgasm haze she throws us in. I bury my head in the crook of her neck, wrapping myself in her scent.
My phone starts to ring and Enya groans. “If that’s Lucio calling to ask why the training area is blown up again, I don’t want to know, okay? Because I’m not opening my eyes to check.”
I can’t help but laugh and shake my head. “Everything is still intact, love. Well, my cock and heart might give out with the intensity of that orgasm you ripped out of me.”
Enya snorts as I step back and make sure she’s steady on her feet before I go in search of my jeans. I grab my phone from my pocket and see it’s Jagger calling, the president of the Vampire charter.
“Jagger, to what do I owe the honor?”
“Vaughn. Remember the pack of rabid werewolves we handled a few weeks ago?”
“Not exactly rabid, Jagger. Those werewolves were infected with something completely different than rabies that sent them on a killing spree. But yeah, I remember. But only because I kicked your ass at arm wrestling right after we handled it.”
“I was distracted,” Jagger grumbles and it makes me laugh.
“Right, that happens a lot because if I remember correctly, it was you who let the alpha werewolf slip away.”
Jagger releases a deep breath. “I don’t have to remind you I was fighting off two others when he slipped past me, asshole, and you know it. Anyway, we found the bastard. He’s hogged up at some farm. Vike and Alastair are meeting me here at my clubhouse, you want in?”
“Hell, yes, I want in. And I’m going to kick your ass afterwards when you challenge me to another arm-wrestling match. And I know you will because you always brag how you have the biggest biceps.”
“I do,” Jagger snickers. “I’ll meet you in twenty.”
He hangs up and I pull on my jeans, tucking my phone back into my pocket right after.
“Jagger wanted your help again?” Enya questions.
“Yes. Are you coming with me to the Vampires’ clubhouse? I’m pretty sure the other old ladies will be waiting there like last time.”
Ever since we started the change six years ago to be more involved with other MCs and helping where needed, the presidents of different chapters have reached out when they needed help.
There are certain perks because as I just mentioned to Enya, this also gives the opportunity for all of us to spend time together. Our connection grows and not only relies on workload but also a bond through family and friends. Even if it’s only been six years, it’s hard to look back to when we were living in solitude. Prioritizing our own clan over everything.
There’s a huge difference in opening up your world and allowing it to grow and we all see and reap the benefits from it. But mostly our kids because they grow up with an open mind to change and all the possibilities.
Alastair keeps saying how these sisters might have been put on this earth due to a sonofabitch who had completely twisted alternatives in mind, though eventually they are the ones who had a huge part in the welfare of the supernatural world.
They have managed to give us the strength we need, the positive boost and twist on things. And I’m not only talking about a power boost but the connection between lovers, family, and a unity between the Death by Reapers MC charters.
“Are you guys sure you don’t need our help?” Enya says as she tries not to laugh.
“Let us men handle it, woman,” I grumble, knowingly stating it like this to trigger...
“What did you just say?” she snaps and narrows her eyes.
“That you’re gorgeous and I can’t wait to get back to you. Good thing our kids are having a slumber party over at Lucio and Polina’s house, right? We have the whole night ahead of us once us guys deal with the werewolf issue.” The corner of my mouth twitches and I can’t help but let my knuckles brush her cheek. “Fuck, you’re gorgeous when you’re all feisty and ready to knock me back on my ass.”
Her cheeks flush and she steps closer, brushing her lips against mine as she murmurs, “As long as you know I can knock you on your ass any time day or night.”
My head tips back and laughter rips out. I give a little shake and wrap my arms around her to drag her flush against my body.
“When it comes to you, I go willingly,” I whisper out the words all husky and sweet, because it’s the truth.
“Cut it out or we’ll end up naked again,” she whispers back. “And I have things to do, like head over to the Vampires clubhouse because you guys need your own space to have fun.” She clears her throat. “I mean, you guys have a werewolf to kill.” And she mutters to herself, “I’m fairly sure it’s just an excuse for you guys to meet up and show off your skills.”
“Busted.” I give her a smile because she’s right.
We even use the minor issues to deal with as a team now because it’s fun. Kinda like a pissing contest, and let’s face it…when you clear up one problem, another one pops up just as fast. It’s the whole roller coaster of life you ride where you love it as hard as you hate it at times. But the ultimate rush stays the love for the ride. This is also what the woman in my arms gives me every time I look in her eyes.
She pats my chest and we break apart to grab our things before I follow her out the door. I shoot Lucio a message and instantly get a reply that he’ll accompany me next time, like he usually does. With everything handled here it’s time to head out.
I straddle my bike and wait for Enya to lockup the house before I ask, “Want me to drop you off?”
She holds out her keys. “I’m taking the beetle and will meet you later.”
“Always the independent one,” I mutter.
I get a wink in reply along with a “You know it,” before she disappears into her fire-red car and I hear it rumble to life.
There’s always a moment in time where you take a moment to breathe and realize you’ve come a long way while it also feels like you’ve just started. And when I look at my old lady passing me in her car with her chin held high and the laidback vibe as she blows me a kiss makes my chest swell with pride.
Pride that’s also wrapped with the fact she helped make the dream of my parents become a reality. And what they worked hard for is now the very thing I’m graced with. Yes. In my opinion I sure am living the ultimate dream.
I fire up my bike and follow her, like always. Because there’s nowhere I’d rather be than on a road we’ll take together. No matter who leads, follows, or who’s in cha
rge; we will ride it our way.
Together as one.
Always.
