  “Dane is at the bar, they’re hurting him.” Chance’s voice raised in urgency.

  “He’s fine, Alrick has him. He brought him home and is taking care of him, don’t worry.” Bryn spoke from the front seat.

  "Thank you, Calum."

  "Anything for you, my mate." He punctuated that declaration with a kiss that seared Chance to his soul. Something important was happening, something life changing, something magnificently life changing. His heartbeat thudded in his chest and breathing became an effort as he once again looked into those fiery, green eyes.

  CHAPTER EIGHT

  When they reached the house, Calum carried him directly upstairs to his room, not Chance’s room, Calum’s room. It was big and roomy and the bed looked so big it must have been custom made. It was a welcoming environment of comfort and color. He sat Chance on the bed and then began to remove his clothes. Soon, Chance was as naked as Calum and there was no shyness, no reservation as he reached his arms out towards this man who had given him his life back.

  “Thank you for saving me, Calum.” He realized he hadn’t thanked him yet and wanted that out of the way.

  “You’re welcome.” Calum picked him up in his arms and carried him to the bath. Chance had never showered with another and he found it exhilarating. Calum’s hands were everywhere, lighting fires under the skin and soothing every worry with his kisses and kind, sexy words.

  Once they were washed clean, Calum bundled him up in a plush towel and dried him thoroughly. God, he loved the firm touch of Calum's hands. Once again, he carried Chance to the bed and sat him in the center and stretched his long naked length out next to him. He needed to claim his mate. His dragon needed the strength and surety of the bond, and so did he.

  Calum leaned over his little mate and cupped the side of his face. He stared down into those loving blue eyes and counted his blessings. When he saw what that wolf was about to do to his little mate, his heart shattered. Freeing his mate and destroying the threat was his focus. He hadn’t taken into consideration that his mate would be front and center for the battle. But he handled it like the strong and capable man Calum knew him to be.

  “I know this is going to sound too sudden, but please just hear me out.” Calum began as he traced his thumb back and forth over Chance’s plump bottom lip. “I love you, Chance and I don’t take those words lightly and I have never said them to another. I know I have a lot of explaining to do so, here it is and if you have questions, ask.”

  Calum explained his origin, his family, and his quest. He went into great detail as he described his culture and species and what finding Chance meant to him, his dragon and his people. Chance listened, his eyes concentrating and taking in and processing every word. He did not speak until Calum was finished.

  “You smelled me in the café?”

  “Yes.”

  "I was sitting in the chair you took before you, and your friends walked in. I moved to the counter because I assumed you'd want the big table and I was all alone." Chance was spellbound by the unbelievable story that he, without a doubt, absolutely believed. He could feel Calum on an emotional level and he could feel the truth of all his words. It was amazing.

  “I scented the most wonderful aroma and I searched the room for its source. Then I noticed you and everything in my life, all my struggles became laser focused on you.” Calum placed a proprietary kiss to the plump bottom lip he’d been fondling.

  “You scared me, at first, but once I met you and got physically close to you, the fear dissipated. I couldn’t understand why I so quickly, trusted and leaned on you. Is that the mate bond you were describing?” Chance moved his hand to rest on Calum’s naked hip and pulled him closer.

  “Yes, the bond between true mates is present on every level of existence. It begins to form and grow the second that two mates make contact.” He kissed him again. “My love for you will only get stronger. I will always desire you, and I will always be there for you.”

  "It's hard for me to say this, but I need to try. I think I love you too, Calum. I can't imagine not having you in my life, not being near you. I want to see you every day, wake up in your arms and go to sleep in your arms. This bonding stuff is fiercely powerful, is it forever?" Chance figured he sounded like a lovesick idiot, but he didn't care, besides Calum was sounding a bit lovesick himself.

  "It is forever, Fate designed our destiny and Fate brought us together. Nothing will ever tear us apart." Calum explained in more depth what it meant to be a dragon's mate and the process of mating. When he came to the pregnancy part, he saw Chance's eyebrows shoot to his hairline.

  “Pregnant, I could get pregnant, how?” Chance wasn’t speaking in full sentences the idea of having a baby seemed fantastical. “No, don’t tell me. I’ll deal with that when and if the time comes.” Chance moved his hand from where it rested on Calum’s hip and drew it up his side, taking in the feel of every dip and curve and every hard muscle. His mind was officially blown by everything he’d seen and heard this day, but he still could not complain. This man was good, he knew that on a level that defied explanation and he knew he would follow him anywhere. Yeah, he was in love.

  “I want to complete our mating and seal our bond.” Calum leaned down and spoke into Chance’s ear bathing him in his hot, moist breath. “I need to be inside you.” Calum rolled his body and seated himself between Chance’s thighs. He kept most of his weight off his little mate but pressed his hard cock firmly against Chance’s tight little ass. He began a slow thrust moving his cock back and forth sensitizing Chance’s tender flesh. “I need you now, Chance.” He dropped another lazy, needy kiss to Chance’s eager lips.

  “Yes, I want you too.” Chance thrust upward in time with Calum and increased the pressure. A delicious sigh escaped Chance’s trembling lips and Calum moved quickly. He lifted Chance’s legs and spread them apart and held them as he played with Chance’s tight little hole all red and leaking a clear, slippery liquid. It was something he’d never seen before and now knew it to be fact. True mates had the ability to self-lubricate, it was another tell of the bond being perfect.

  Calum spread the gel-like substance around with the head of his aching cock. The more he pushed, the more Chance loosened and prepared to take him in completely. Calum was a dragon and therefore, was a very large man in every respect. But Chance's willing hole was relaxing and accepting his girth inch by inch.

  Chance could feel the slow stretch as Calum filled him. He’d never seen a cock as large as Calum’s and after a mere flash of concern, he realized Calum would never hurt him and only pleasure lay in his future. A future that would contain some of the most awesome sex of his life. Calum was a master at bringing every nerve to attention and spiraling every need to the forefront.

  His breath came out in short pants and morphed into a tight squeal when Calum thrust in completely burying himself inside Chance. He began a rapid rhythm of hard thrusts that pegged his prostate on every thrust and brought stars to his eyes as his vision blurred from the power of the sensations exploding through his system.

  Chance was hard and ready to burst just from the sensations alone. He wasn’t going to last. Calum increased his speed and held tight to Chane’s legs anchoring him in position as he took everything and gave it all.

  Chance came with an intensity so fierce, it was a cross between pain and pleasure that was absolutely euphoric.

  Calum could hold back no longer he took his mate hard, reveling in every moan and gasp as he took Chance so high he would never be satisfied by another. He stiffened and drove himself so deep their bodies merged into one and he came. He filled his mate full with stream after powerful stream of hot seed, so full that it seeped out and pooled beneath him on the comforter. It was a vision of erotic beauty that he would repeat often. He settled beside him, still buried inside and sank his teeth back into the healing scar of his mating bite.

  Chance felt the pain of the bite and the pleasure of fullness and just started to float. He held on and felt
the dragon in Calum claim him. The bite sealed his connection not only to Calum but to his dragon and the feeling of belonging swamped him. Tears filled his eyes and soon were running down the sides of his face. He saw the dragon in his mind and he knew he finally had a home.

  Calum licked the bite closed and kissed it tenderly. He turned to lock his gaze on Chance and saw the tear. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?” His heart tightened at the thought he’d hurt his mate.

  “Nothing’s wrong.” Chance looked deep into his eyes and his face lite up with a smile so warm and loving that Calum felt tears forming in his own eyes. “I’m home, Calum and I love you so much.” Calum took Chance’s lips in an embrace that was so passionate that it set his dragon preening in the back of his mind, so at peace, so happy and so complete.

  The quest was just beginning.
