She slowly took her time looking at the man in front of her. Muscle, a twelve pack and oh my, his cock was thick, long, and hard, ready for whatever he was planning. Maven didn’t know how, but Azure was nothing compared to her ex, and for that she was grateful.
The slap on her thigh made her jerk out of her thoughts and look up into Azure’s face. “It seems I have my work cut out for me, but I promise you this, Little Fire.” He leaned in nipping where he had slapped her. “After tonight there will be no more of him in your head,” he came up over her, covering her mouth with his, plunging his tongue into her, dueling with hers, taking control immediately.
His hand skimmed up her stomach to capture her breast, squeezing and playing with both of them, breaking the kiss, staring at her. The man touched everywhere, kissing and biting. Maven swore fire erupted over her skin.
Azure lifted up, staring down at her. “It will always be this way, Little Fire. When we find our mate, their scent and touch drives us crazy.” He smiled as he reached over and pulled on her nipples, squeezing them hard. “Sort of like a cat and its catnip. You enjoy a little pain, don’t you, Little Fire?” he asked, as he released her nipple.
She sucked in her breath, reaching up and cupping his cheek. “Am I your catnip?” she teased.
He turned his head and sucked one of his fingers into his mouth before answering. “Catnip, my everything. Do you know when I knew you were my mate? I saw a picture your mom had of you when you were with your father. It sat on her fireplace. That was the first time I visited your mom and dad.” Azure said lifting her hips up and slowly sliding into the whole time, watching as he did so, stretching her with his wide girth.
Once all the way inside her, he hooked his arm around one of her legs, then the next, opening her further. The man knew how to move his hips, that was for sure. His moves like a dancer or a fighter.
“Azure,” she got out, grabbing onto the bed as his pace picked up and he was thrusting in so deep he was part of her.
He grinned down at her. “I am part of you. Time to burn the sheets, Little Fire.” He had to be kidding around, because she swore they were already burning. Sweat rolled down his face and onto her breast as he leaned down and nipped her at the same time, finding that spot Maven had heard so much about, but never experienced before. “Azure?” she called out, reaching up grabbing onto his arms, burying her nails into his skin. Sensations new to her swarmed over her, her legs shook, Maven couldn’t seem to catch her breath.
With every stroke in her, he knew where to hit, how much pressure to apply, and when to back away, which Maven swore if he didn’t let her come soon she was going to bite him.
“Damn it, Azure,” she growled, glaring up at the man.
He released her legs. “Wrap them around me,” he said, covering her sweaty, needy body with his, nipping at her lower lip. He wound his fingers into hers and lifted her arms above her head, holding her still. “Are you ready to become mine for eternity?” he asked, all serious like.
“You’ll have to explain the eternity part later, but as far as the mate thing, I thought we already were when your dragon loved mine? Now move,” she said, trying to get her man to move.
Maven stopped and moaned, knowing already she had accepted Azure as hers. She had lasted a total of four damn hours. She closed her eyes, shaking her head…Maven was a push over, that was all there was to it.
“Maven!” Azure growled, lifting his hips and thrusting back into her. “If you even think it or say it, I’m going to paddle your ass. Look at me Maven, now!” he growled.
She opened her eyes to look up at him. “Little Fire, you are not human. It’s different for our kind. Our loving is fierce physically and emotionally. What you are feeling is normal for our kind. I know it’s a lot to take in, but I’ll be right here for you. Search inside yourself. Do you really want me to stop, to leave?” he asked, softly kissing her lips.
The thought of him leaving her had Maven shaking and tears filled her eyes. “Never, love me, Azure. Make me yours forever, because if you leave me I’ll hurt you, not Chandrass,” she growled, lifting up and biting his lip. “Now move!”
He squeezed her hand covering his mouth with hers, his hips performing the dance of love that she loved. Hot steam from Azure’s mouth moved into her, seeming to slowly enter every inch of her, heating her all the way down to her toes. But that wasn’t the only thing it did.
The orgasm—she didn’t know if it was hers or his—emotions, feelings, thoughts everything poured into her at the same time their bodies exploded in pleasure. Maven screamed at the same time Azure roared, releasing a little of fire into the air.
Slowly, coming down from the sexual high, Azure rolled over, taking her with him. He wrapped his arms around her, rubbing his cheek against the top of her head. “Our new journey starts tonight, my Little Fire. Together we will face all this new stuff coming at us, but I expect you two to keep me updated on anything. Do we know if more of her kind will be showing up?” Azure asked.
She lifted her head and frowned at him. “I just experienced the most wonderful orgasm and you want to talk about business or whatever the hell it is?” she grumbled and tried to rollover away from him, but he wrapped his arms tight around her holding her.
“I’m sorry, Little Fire, but I’m afraid we have company coming and I’m trying to piece together everything that has happened. It seems my uncle and cousin believe Chandrass was inside you. We have to figure out how they knew this and if they’re more of her family that might be in danger.” Azure placed a kiss on the top of her head.
“I have no idea how they knew. My guards might know more than I. Also, we can live anywhere. Just make sure it’s easy to defend. I have no idea if any of our enemy from long ago is alive also. I would like a large place in case my sisters or brothers do show,” Chandrass said, knowing Azure had heard her.
“And I would just like to be close to my mom. She’s all I have left. Is your father okay?” Maven asked, looking up at Azure.
“He’s fine and our parents should be here in the next hour. It would seem my uncle was behind this thing with my cousin. I can’t apologize enough for our family hurting yours. Maybe this is why the fates granted your mother and my father another mate since it is so rare. We’ll know more when their homes are searched. But for now, come let’s take a shower and sit in front of the fire. I believe we have the ingredients to make ’smores if you would like?”
“Hmm, if we must, chocolate is definitely good. I haven’t had ’smores since my father was alive.” She leaned back and stared up at him. “Do you think they killed my father?”
Chapter Six
Azure held onto Maven as she ate the ’smore she had made. When she had asked him that question he didn’t want to tell her because he believed it was also true. But they would not know for sure until their parents showed up, which would be anytime.
“You know I feel really bad we interrupted our folks wedding. We should send them on a honeymoon or something. You know, like a cruise?” she said, looking back at him, holding part of her ’smore to his mouth.
“You do know they can fly anywhere they want?” he said, taking a bit of her ’smore and nipping her finger.
“Well da, but a cruise is fun. You have the games, food, drinks, dancing and sightseeing. You don’t have to worry about anything.” She popped the rest of her ’smore into her mouth.
“And you have been on one?” he asked.
“Of course, before your cousin came along my best friend and I did a few of them.” She wiggled her eyebrows. “The adult ones were really fun, talk about some man candy.”
“Hmm, I think we need to do an adult one, sounds like fun,” Chandrass said.
“Oh, we would have a ball together. Too bad you were sleeping when we went on the adult one,” Maven told Chandrass allowing Chandrass to see her memories.
Azure leaned over and bit her neck. “There will be no cruises and you don’
t need to be looking at any other man.” Both Azure and Taghor growled as their parents opened the door, coming in.
“Bad time?” her father asked, but her mother was smiling from ear to ear.
“What did you do Maven?” her mom asked as his father and her mom sat across from them.
“Nothing, I was thinking we needed to send you two on a cruise. I think Mom would really like the adult one to the Caribbean islands,” she said, smiling.
“I don’t think my father would want your mom surrounded by men,” Azure said. “Be good,” he grumbled.
“Really, adult cruise, hmm,” her mom said, earning a growl from his father.
“Do I need to show you again you don’t need anyone?” Danger yanked his wife into his arms nipping her nose.
“You guys are something. There is dancing, gambling, tons of food and the sightseeing is a blast. It’s not all about hot guys. I mean there are some hot women too,” Maven said, as Chandrass growled.
“We stay away from cruise, or I might eat some humans.” Chandrass mumbled.
Maven laughed looking up at him and he grinned. “I have a feeling both Chandrass and Taghor would not do well on a cruise.”
He glanced at his father. “What have you learned?” Azure asked his father. “How did they know Maven would host a royal family member?”
His father sat forward as Chandrass’ guards came out to join them. “You have news?” the one asked.
“These two have been with Chandrass I guess since birth and when she woke they followed her here,” Azure explained to his father.
“Your uncle was not the only one in on this. From what I’ve been told so far from your grandfather, there are others out there watching for the royal family to emerge,” his father said.
“You have grandfather going through Uncle Thad’s things?” Azure asked his father.
Danger lifted Maven’s mom up and placed her into his lap, hugging her. “Your Uncle Thad is gone and your grandfather was already there. He was staying there for the wedding. How many siblings does Chandrass have?” his father looked over at Maven who frowned, stuffing another bite of ’smores in her mouth.
“I’m afraid we have a very large family. My parents were always touching each other. I’m the oldest of triplets. There are four sets of triplet girls in our family and one of boys,” Azure heard Chandrass explain to Maven who stiffened in his arms.
“Triplets?” Maven groaned and glared up at him. “Fifteen total, 12 girls and three boys.” Maven shook her head.
“I’m afraid we are very fertile. We will have many eggs just like my parents,” Chandrass said, uncurling inside her showing her what appeared to be three little tiny lights.
Maven squeaked as he smiled, sliding his hand down to her stomach. “No way! Eggs? Three, now, after one time? We’re having a very serious talk,” Maven growled.
His new stepmother squealed, clapping her hands together. “I’m going to be a grandma! You know I don’t think we’ve ever had double births or triple. This is so exciting. First thing we to do is find you a new home,” her mother said as Danger smiled.
“If there are more out there waiting for her family to appear there could be trouble…” His father shook his head. “I never believed my own family would do something like this, but I guess power will always bring the greed out of others.”
“I’ve alerted those that I could. But even their guards are in hiding,” one of the warriors said. The warrior turned his gaze on him. “The little ones should be set up with guards.”
Inside Maven, Chandrass growled. “There will be no trackers on our children.”
“If you will excuse me,” Maven said, sliding out of his arms and moving towards the kitchen.
“Maven?” Azure called to her, standing.
“I need time Azure,” Maven said, disappearing down the hall.
Pearl stepped in front of him. “Please allow me. I have a feeling all of this is catching up with her.” Her mother moved around the warriors and followed her daughter down the hall.
He looked to his father who sighed. “Pearl was afraid something like this might happen. You see, human doctors told Maven she’d never have children. It seems your mate has wanted a child for a few years, even tried to have one before getting with your cousin, but nothing happened and now we know why,” his father said.
“Why?” Azure asked, still not understanding.
“The woman who hosts the royal family can only have the children of those that are meant to be their mates and Princess Chandrass wasn’t kidding when she said they have large families. The Queen is from a family of 20 sisters and brothers while the Kings family has 25.”
“There is no way we are having 25 children.” Azure shook his head, sitting down again, but looking towards the hallway needing his woman in his arms. “Maven would like a home near you two.”
His dad set back and smiled. “Then I take it you haven’t given Maven her gift yet?” his father asked.
“What gift?” Maven asked, coming in carrying mugs as her mom carried small bowls of ice cream. “I brought hot chocolate and Mom found some ice cream too,” she said, setting the drinks down, not looking at him, but at once Azure could tell she had been crying.
He reached over and pulled Maven back into his arms where she belonged. “It is customary for the male in our family to present his female with the home after they are claimed. Do you know that estate that is before our parents? The one that sits back and has a large pond in the back?” he asked.
Maven frowned. “I hate to say it, but this was the first time I’ve been at their home. But I did notice the large drive up towards the woods. You can see it from where I was staying in my room. Why?”
“Because my Little Dragon, it’s our new home. I bought it the week after I saw your picture. I knew you were close to your mother and it was up for sale. It’s my gift to you.” Azure glanced up at the two warriors. “If I’m not mistaken there is property that hasn’t been touched behind ours that runs on our folks. We might try and purchase this. We could build a home for the two of you since it seems you will be with us?”
The one warrior glanced at his partner. “We do have a mate and children. Would you mind if we bring them?” The one asked.
“Of course not. You should have them close to you. Did you really buy the house for me?” Maven asked him.
“Yes, and after we rest up, we’ll go retrieve your belongings. Whatever you don’t like, you may change.” Azure told her, placing a kiss on the side of her neck. “But Maven is right, bring your family. I believe it would be best to have us all close and whatever my grandfather finds out, we’ll deal with it.”
Chapter Seven
Maven stepped outside and stared up at the sky. Azure was talking to his father while her mother was already in their room getting ready to settle in for the night. In a matter of 24 hours her life had turned upside down.
Not only was she not human, but also part alien and a neat dragon at that. But what really had Maven shaking her head was the idea she was some kind of royalty and that she had actually decreed something…Well it was just overwhelming.
She placed her hand on her stomach. For the last ten years Maven had tried to have a child, but nothing and now in one night she had three little lights in her, that would soon turn into eggs. She snorted. “Eggs. Not only am I going to have eggs, I was hatched.” Maven couldn’t help but giggle not caring she was going to have eggs. “Babies.”
“You shouldn’t be out here by yourself, little sister,” a man said, stepping out of dark scaring the shit out of her.
Chandrass lifted her head up inside her. “He’s my younger brother, Migel. One that followed me everywhere as a child.”
Maven studied the man, nodding to him. “Welcome, little brother from your sister Chandrass. Have you been here on Earth long?” Maven asked, knowing Azure was coming towards her as were two of her guards.
Stepping back
towards the door, as Chandrass’ brother stepped forward. “You are afraid?” he frowned, stopping.
“I’m afraid your sister’s hostess only today learned about what we are. Today was the first also for Chandrass to be out flying so she has overdone it I’m afraid,” Azure said, coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her, while her two guards moved behind the man.
“It’s been a long time Migel. Have you found your mate?” Paco asked as Sage moved to the right.
Migel laughed. “It’s been a long time Sage, and no. I too just woke a few days ago,” Migel said, frowning. “I felt Chandrass close. I don’t know how, maybe it was the fact she was the one that always was there for me, I don’t know.” Migel shrugged his shoulders. “I knew I just needed to be close to my sister.”
Maven could feel the love coming from Chandrass and relaxed. Sliding out of Azure’s arms, she went to step forward, but Azure pulled her back into his arms. “Sage, Paco?”
Both of her bodyguards moved around the man, not saying a word when fires rent the air above them. Paco laughed and looked at Azure. “My brother and his. Migel’s bodyguards. He’s safe.”
“Pain in the asses is what they are,” Migel grumbled and Maven laughed.
“Your sister agrees totally. Did you know your parents put sensors or tags under your skin?” Maven asked, hearing groans from Paco and Sage.
“He did what?” Smoke came out of Migel’s nose. “Damn it, that’s how he always knew what I was always doing.” He looked over his shoulder as two more men came walking up towards him.
“Well it would seem like your family is starting to make its way to you. I think it’s time we make up some rooms for your family,” Azure said. “But for now, you’ve had a big day,” Azure scooped her up into his arms. “Paco, Sage would you show Migel to the room next to yours and his guards can stay in the room on the other side. We’ll have to leave tomorrow to go to our new home, because the cabin is not going to fit all of those that will be coming and we’re going to need help sorting all this out.”
