“I’m a witch and my powers draw from the surrounding elements. I, I think I’m absorbing your power.”
She’d closed her eyes again. He didn’t understand her magic, but she needed him.
A hall. It had to go somewhere. The couch to the right caught his attention, but there was no way he could do what he needed to, there.
Kal knew what he needed to do. His dragon knew what they needed to do. Get as much skin contact as possible. Draw the magic from her quickly, and that meant touching as much of her as possible. He would save her. He would do what he needed to, no matter what, to save her.
Kal took off down the hall, Maddie secure in his hold.
The thud and crack of each door he kicked broke the quiet. Bathroom, closet, and finally, pushing open the last door on the left, he’d found something he could use.
A squeak and slow drag of doors settling the aftermath of storm Kal. He’d finally found what he wanted. Maddie’s eyes opened.
“Where are we? It looks like…” she trailed off.
“I don’t know. But your mother brought me here.”
“I’m going to lay you down now.”
A weak grip tried to wrap its way around his arm.
“No. Don’t leave me,” she said.
Gently placing her on the bed, Kal’s dragon paced.
“I’m not leaving you.”
His skin prickled as he allowed the dragon some freedom. Maybe he knew more than Kal’s human form did right now. She blinked at him several times.
“What is the strange light?” she asked.
The orange glow bounced off walls.
“It’s you. Your skin is glowing.”
He strained to hear her. “My tattoos?”
Kal shook his head. “No. Your entire body.”
“Where are we again? Is this your ship? I thought that was a cheesy line.”
Kal hated that she was so out of it. That made this even more complicated.
“No. This is not my ship and no, it was not a line. This is your house.”
He watched her try to sit up. The sweat dotting her forehead said it all.
“Don’t move. I have to cool you down.”
He could hear the beat of her heart change. Was this good or bad?
“Like you did earlier?” Maddie asked.
He sat slowly next to her. “Perhaps. Is that okay?”
She started tugging at her shirt.
“I had a smart-ass comment, but right now I don’t care what you do to me. I feel like I’m cooking. Just take this fire. Please.”
He gripped her hands softly, and leaned in. Her scent stood out to him in a swirling of desert blossoms. He licked his lips, hunger rolling over him. Yes, he would do what he could to cool her down as quickly as possible. Would she allow him to do exactly what he’d wanted to do from the moment he met her?
Her lips parted as Kal leaned in.
“I’m going to kiss you now.”
She hiccuped.
Bringing his face closer to hers, he claimed her mouth. His dragon began calling the energy from her. Maybe she commanded a magic he didn’t know, but he commanded fire, the sun, the energy of the stars.
Deepening the kiss, her mouth answered the dance and welcomed his tongue as it tasted her.
Kal released her hands and allowed his own to glide down her body, pushing aside her t-shirt. The scent of the air changed as his fingers grazed the skin of her stomach. Kal’s magic drew more of the fiery energy and he felt her temperature lowering.
The air, infused with magic and fire, a high, clouding his head, a euphoric drug. There was only Maddie.
Rivers of fire pulsed through him as he ran his hand down her hip. Pushing closer, he hungered for more. For her.
Maddie wrapped a hand around his neck to pull him to her. Without losing her lips, he adjusted, placing one knee on the bed, the other settling between her legs. Kal’s free hand braced himself on the bed.
Desire burned its way through him. His lack of clothing and the excess of her clothing became very unfortunate.
Fuck. He needed her. His hand slid down her hip to her thigh.
She pushed her pelvis up, rubbing against his leg. A moan caught in his throat.
Fuck.
Sweat slicked his skin from restraint.
“Maddie.” His breathing heavy, his brain fogged over in desire, he didn’t know what the fuck he was trying to ask.
Gripping his face between her palms, she held his attention. “Kal. I need more.”
Damn.
His dick jumped for joy.
“More?”
Goddess, let this not be a language barrier. His dick started throbbing.
“Yes. More. I need you to do whatever it is you’re doing, but faster.”
Treading new territory with Maddie, he paused. Risk. What he believed needed to be done, versus what if it didn’t work?
“I need direct contact with your skin.” No. He needed all of her. He needed her to submit to him. “I need contact with all of your body.”
“Yes,” was all she responded.
His eyes scanned her face before he spoke once more. Goddess. He needed to just shut up and take her. That's what his damn dragon thought, anyway.
“You understand what I am asking?”
“Yes.”
Maddie pushed her pelvis up against him, her hips wiggling against the bulge in his pants.
He closed his eyes trying to keep himself from coming. Suddenly Maddie growled and pushed him away.
“What?”
“Get off of me and strip, dragon boy.”
This was an interesting turn of events indeed, and he sure as fuck didn’t need to be told twice.
Gripping the COM on his wrist, he tossed it aside as well as the roll of emergency clothing tied to his ankle.
He pushed up on his knees. “Done”
She paused and damn, didn’t he wish she finished undressing.
“Oh. You’re quick.”
He couldn’t help but smile as her eyes roamed over him.
“Dragon, remember? He has no need for clothing.”
A hunger sparkled in her eyes, something he’d never seen before. Kal paused and did an inventory. Prey, he felt like prey.
Kal sucked in the air as Maddie shifted. The muscles of his stomach tensed as her wet tongue moistened her beautiful plump lips. She came forward, lowered on all fours. Fuck, he wasn’t going to last long at this rate.
“Let me help,” he breathed out.
Her face peered up at him, and shit if she wasn’t the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.
Kneeling before him, Maddie took his dick between both hands and started to stroke him. Her tongue darted out, hungry, she licked the tip.
Peering up at him, she smiled. “You are. Don’t you feel it?”
Kal didn’t have time to blink before her soft lips kissed his belly. Not what he’d expected, but damn if he didn’t like the anticipation of where this was going.
His dick twitched, begging for attention as she licked a trail down. His skin grew tight as her touch chased tingles of pleasure replacing the high of magic. He forgot every fucking thing he’d been taught since he was a babe.
Winding his hands through her hair, Kal damn near begged for more as she licked her way down his shaft, back up, circling the head. Maddie’s lips soft, warm, and pleading for his cock.
Fuck, me, he thought.
The heat of her breath as she stretched her mouth around him made the world disappear.
Kal was lost to his Maddie.
7
Her body tingled and a heat independent of the fire burning through her was new and different. This was her magic, her need.
He tasted of salt and sweat and Kal. She didn’t know where the confidence came from, but she liked it. Embraced it as she licked Kal like a dessert.
Swirling her tongue around the tip, licking it, playing with him, teasing him. His breath hitched. This new power was all hers and
she would command him any way she wanted.
God knows she wasn’t sure how she was going to fit him in her mouth, but she’d try her best. Kal had to be the biggest man she’d ever seen, not that she’d seen that many dicks in her life. If he was her mate, at least fate liked her a lot - maybe. Would she be able to handle him?
Placing her hand over his shaft, she started to stroke - up and down, up and down, licking the sides until he was slick.
Peeking up at his face from where she crouched in front, Maddie liked the way he watched her. Liked the way his eyes rolled in the back of his head as she started to pull him inch by inch.
He was so big and tasted so good. Maddie moaned.
Oh, good God. She needed him. She wanted him.
Her body still burned, and she couldn’t separate if it was need, magic, or the flames of his touch. She didn’t care.
The muscles between her legs tightened as he ran his hand down her back.
The searing pain dissipated where he touched, or where she touched him.
The muscles between her legs throbbed as one feeling replaced another.
A moan of need found its way out of her throat and his hands tangled in her hair as she moved back and forth along his shaft.
Pulling away, Maddie needed to catch her own breath. As she knelt back, Maddie danced on the edge of need and awe. Kal wasn’t just amazing, he wasn’t human. No one was this perfect. Her eyes widened as she realized just how large he was fully erect and ready.
He growled as she trailed her finger over the head, and next running down the length.
“Maddie. This.” He was breathless. She liked the control she felt over this giant, tough man.
A sense of power flowed through her as his muscles flinched.
“Maddie,” he moaned.
She leaned in, kissing the tip.
“Yes?” she answered.
Kal closed his eyes. “Good goddess. Where the hell did you learn to do that?” His breathing came out rough and rapid.
Confidence to continue overrode everything else within her. This man, a wet dream, even if she wouldn’t admit it, and somehow he made her feel like she might be a supermodel. The woman he dreamed about.
Without warning, his eyes flew open, burning orange, pupils elongated. Kal pushed forward, forcing her to move back, forcing her to lie down.
“You are mine, Maddie.” He breathed out on a long hard breath.
Crawling up her body, pushing her legs open, spreading her wider and wider, she shivered in anticipation.
“You have one chance to say no, Maddie. One chance before you are mine for eternity.”
Her chest fluttered. Eternity sounded like a lot.
Within those eyes though, she saw eternity and liked it. Liked it a lot. All she saw was him.
“Yes.” She whispered.
His mouth claimed hers, and his hand feathered down her stomach. She writhed under him. Her back arched, and she pushed against the palm of his hand where it cupped her, a finger sliding between her folds.
Kal played at her wet, ready entrance. A whimpier of need caught in her throat.
Oh, good God.
Slowly his finger pushed into her, methodically stroking her. She squirmed at the slow burn of pleasure. After a moment, he slipped in a second finger and started to work her, harder, faster. Her breath caught on a moan. Biting her lower lip, Maddie tried to stifle the cry of pleasure threatening to break free.
His fingers retreated and for a second a fear that he would stop shook her.
Instead, he leaned his head down and took one hard nipple into his mouth.
Maddie twined her fingers into his hair as he sucked her. A squeak of surprise escaped as he nibbled on the sensitive skin. Releasing the taut peak, he kissed the soft flesh. Maddie wrapped her legs around him, trying to keep him from leaving. She wasn’t done.
Flicking the other nipple, she squeaked. She looked down into his eyes and nearly lost her mind at the mischief staring back.
A smile spread over his lips as he started to kiss a trail down her skin, over her stomach, down her belly, a hand wandering and teasing her, tickling the skin along her thigh.
Maddie squirmed. Crap, and she’d thought she was burning up before.
“Kal. I can’t, please. I can’t wait any longer.”
His touch left a trail of release, but his mouth brought her closer and closer to desperation.
Finally, his lips found their destination. The heat of his tongue against her swollen clit had the pressure building in her so great she feared she’d burst to pieces.
“Kal.”
He licked her again, his tongue stroking her. A blinding light behind her eyes blanked out the room. She raised her hand, unsure where to put it, unsure what to hold on to, unsure how to keep herself from grabbing him and mounting him.
As if Kal was in Maddie’s head, he looked up from his quest, smirking from between her legs.
“You are impatient.”
Her eyes widened, and she growled this time.
Kal answered the call, moving above her, altering his position in one fluid motion. He held himself up above her, as he pushed up her leg to move between her legs. Looking down at him, at the angle of him, she couldn’t stop the gasp.
How in the hell was he fitting in her?
Trying to catch air into her lungs, she barely got the words out. “Are you sure you’re compatible with humans?”
God, she’d question the fact she believed in aliens later. Right now all she wanted was to be taken, mated, screwed, fucked, whatever he wanted to call it. She needed him.
Bracing herself, gripping his massive bicep, she waited for his answer.
“Very compatible, I promise you.”
A feverish nod was all she could give.
A million years passed as he studied her. Cherished her. His gaze intense as he claimed her mouth. Gentle kisses at first, growing more fierce by the second. Maddie could feel the smooth skin of his dick against her entrance. Apprehension, anticipation, desire.
Rocking her hips, she pushed against him, his dick just out of reach.
Kal’s hand reached down and held down her hips as he slowly pushed in.
The burning of muscles being stretched, a mix of sated need and new discomfort of unused muscles, she took him inch by inch. The pleasure of finally having him in her the only thing she cared about.
He pushed further in and Maddie tried meeting him, but he wouldn’t let her move. Not yet.
His breath hissed out as he pulled away from her mouth.
The restraint evident in the lines of his face. “Yes, we are very compatable.”
Her breath hitched the moment he pulled out and then thrust back in, quicker this time.
His pace still slow, methodical as he braced his body over her.
The desire within her coiled tighter and tighter.
Soon there was nothing but feeling, pleasure, need, desperation with each stroke.
“Maddie, you are mine,” he whispered into her ear.
She closed her eyes, placing her hands around him, kneading his back.
“Yours.”
In a fevered motion Kal took her faster and harder. Maddie moaned and cried out as he took her again and again. When she felt like she couldn’t possibly take anymore, when her body began to pull from him, take from him, come for him, and yet he still needed more, she gave and gave until he began to quiver against her.
The word mine chanted on his breath and he lowered his head to her shoulder.
“You are mine.” As he thrust in one last time, burning her to the very edge of all feeling, he spilled into her, as a sharp pain radiated from her shoulder.
In that moment, her energy, her magic mixed with his and a new magic she’d never felt before, took from her and took from him so much more than just a single moment of pleasure.
There was no catching her breath. She slowly dove into a state between sleep and lucidity as his warmth pulsed through her. This tim
e the fire didn’t burn. Instead, she welcomed it as he collapsed on her, rolling with her in his arms. He pulled her close. Her mind teetering close to sleep and a flood of images from somewhere she’d never been.
Dreams of a dragon soaring through the skies, feasting on the heat of the sun. Dreams of a life she’d never known, a planet far from here.
A heart beat through her that was not her own, the pulse comforting, protecting. Finally, sleep took hold with the knowledge of her warrior’s love running through her veins. Her dragon, his soul, running through her veins.
* * *
Maddie’s eyes flew open.
What had just happened? Running her hands over her body, Maddie realized she felt, well, normal.
Normal was good.
This was normal.
She sat up. Fuck, no it wasn’t.
None of this was normal. She’d just met this guy like what, this morning?
Or wait, yesterday. It was dark, but somewhere in the early hours of morning. What time though? She shifted and blanched. Her muscles ached.
How many times had she and he made love? Three? Four? That last time she’d started it. Maddie couldn’t get enough of him, even if every time she came she was sure she would sleep for days, and yet every time she simply wanted him more. Sliding her hand down her stomach, she questioned how the hell she already ached for him.
Reaching her hand out, she was met with empty sheets. She’d have worried, except she knew he was near and knew he was safe. The beating of his heart always somewhere within her subconscious told her he was here, near, and content.
Blinking into the darkness, Maddie loathed the cold in his absence. She waited for the pain, the fire to come back and it didn’t. Relief.
“Kal?” she called into the dark. Nothing. Okay. He wasn’t in the bathroom then.
Maddie didn’t like the dark, never had. The dark of the desert even worse. She conjured up a small orb of light.
“Kal?”
Her skin lit up in the tattoos as she thought of him.
Well, that’s handy.
Maybe the orb wasn’t needed.
She swung her legs off the bed and stood up.
As she moved towards the door, his pulse grew stronger within her.
“Huh.”
