“Someone is feeling the claws of the dragon curse on her back.” Zora’s eyes met Lini’s. Her breath caught in her throat at the woman’s intuition.
No one else knew.
She swallowed hard as she met the witch’s eyes, and nodded. Lini felt exposed as she admitted her secret.
“I haven’t told anyone,” she whispered. It pained her to admit it, but if she didn’t find her mates soon, she’d be another dragon statistic.
“Well, I think your mates have found each other and are now looking for you.” Zora looked back down at the crystal ball.
Lini’s heart stuttered with the thought that her two mates were looking for her. She stretched her neck to see if she could see them in the ball, but to her, she saw nothing but clouds.
“Really?” her voice ended on a squeak. Tears welled up in her eyes at the realization that she was close. “What do they look like? Who are they? Where are they?”
Her string of questions were halted by the rise of Zora’s hand.
“Tomorrow night, the dragon clan’s family will be hosting a celebration. Your mates will be there. All I can see is that the male is tall and strong, while the female is small, with brown skin and long hair. Go to that event, and you will connect with your mates.” Zora sat back from the table with a small smile on her lips.
“How much do I owe you?” Lini rushed out, reaching into her small purse. Excitement filled her. She had heard of the party and knew that all dragon shifters would be invited.
“No charge, little dragon shifter. If I can help prevent one of your kind from falling into the curse, then I will consider that payment. Dragons have been long protectors of my kind.”
Zora stood from the table as Lini flew from her chair and hugged her.
“Thank you,” she whispered.
Soon she would be united with her mates.
Chapter Four
Jaggar glanced down at his mate on her knees before him and groaned. Ady locked eyes with him as she sucked his cock deep into her throat. Her tongue swirled along the length of him, causing his legs to grow weak.
Since finding each other two weeks ago, things between them had moved fast. Ady had taken her place at his side in his castle. Tonight, after the celebration to congratulate Colton’s mates, Raven and Serni, on their pregnancies, they would continue their search for the third member of their triad.
Jaggar didn’t care if the other member of their triad was male or female. All he cared about was finding them.
Ady began to hum as her strokes and movements began to pick up speed. He could feel his orgasm approaching and knew that he wasn’t ready to release. Not without her.
“Come here, my little mate,” he urged her. She opened her eyes and tightened her grip on his cock with her hand. He bit his lip as he fought his body.
He loved how she took her time in ensuring that he was pleased, and right now, she was not letting up on him. He knew what she wanted.
He cradled her head in his hands as he began to thrust his hips. He held back a curse as he watched his stiff length disappear in-between her lips.
“You want to drink my release, don’t you?” he growled.
Her eyes narrowed, and he could almost hear her response in his head. Their mental link would snap into place once their triad was complete, but for now, they could only hear muffled responses.
“You know I like it when you come with your cock deep in my throat,” she murmured, pulling back from him. His breath caught in his throat as he watched her stroke him. Her beautiful brown skin was all exposed for him as she knelt before him, naked in their suite.
They had arrived the night before, and were guests of Colton and his mates. The party would begin soon.
Jaggar wouldn’t miss the opportunity to celebrate something such as this with Colton. One day, he hoped to be able to announce his mate, or mates, pregnancies. Visions of Ady pregnant with his seed brought him back to the present.
He snatched her from the ground and tossed her to the bed as she laughed. He crawled into the bed behind her as she pushed up on her hands and knees. It was the perfect position for him to see the plump round globes of her ass, and the sight of her readiness smeared upon her thighs made him groan.
“Don’t move,” he commanded as he grabbed her ass cheeks.
“Please, Jaggar. Take me,” she cried out as he guided the head of his cock to her folds. He rubbed himself in her wetness to coat himself.
“Patience,” he murmured. He loved the feel of her skin under his hands. He slid a hand up her back to her long dark locks and secured them in his hand, the blunt tip of his cock nestled between her folds.
“Jaggar,” she cried as he continued to tease her. The promise of heaven awaited deep within her tight channel, but he wanted her screaming his name. He used his free hand to rub his cock against her dripping entrance.
“What do you want, mate?” Sweat began to run down his temples. Not only was he slowly killing her, but himself as well. His animal rumbled in his chest at the foreplay between them.
“Fuck me,” she demanded. He was finding his little mate to be a little hellion in bed. She held alpha qualities that almost matched his, but she would soon learn that he was the true alpha in the relationship.
He thrust forward, hard, slamming into her, causing her to scream. He pulled back and immediately repeated the motion.
She would learn tonight.
Her pussy belonged to him, and he would decide when she would receive his cock.
The headboard rocked against the wall in a steady thump. Jaggar could care less who would hear them. He wanted anyone who was in hearing distance to know that he was taking his mate. His heart slammed against his chest with the thought of his other mate, and when they would be united. He loved everything about Ady, but his heart still longed for their triad to be complete.
Ady’s cries of ecstasy filled the air as he continued to pound his thick length into her slick core. His eyes locked onto the sight of his cock withdrawing from her, drenched in her arousal, before it slid effortlessly back inside of her.
His nails dug into her soft brown skin as he quickened his pace. His dragon paced beneath his skin, demanding that they claim Ady now, but he ignored his animal. They would claim each other when their triad was complete.
“Ady, I’m close. Come with me,” he growled, leaning back to deliver a hard smack to her ass cheek that echoed through the air. Her body stiffened as she let loose a bellowing scream. He roared out his own release, filling Ady with his seed. His hips continued to thrust forward, as his animal wanted to lay claim to her in the only way they were able to for now.
“Fill her with our seed until a babe takes,” his dragon demanded.
If they couldn’t mate her now, they would impregnate her.
He didn’t have any complaints with that plan.
Chapter Five
Ady smiled at other guests as they made their rounds around the room. Her pussy still ached from the rough taking that occurred earlier, before the party. She gripped Jaggar’s arm tight in her hand as they strolled around.
This was a night for them to relax before leaving to go in search of their mate together. Jaggar was dressed in a black suit, with a black button-down shirt. She was dressed in a sassy red dress that flowed around her, mid-thigh. It was strapless, and hugged her breasts. She felt sexy, but couldn’t wait for Jaggar to strip it off of her later.
A growl rumbled deep within Jaggar, causing her eyes to fly up to his.
“You didn’t get enough earlier?” he murmured. His eyes deepened, causing her core to clench. The lovemaking between the two of them was explosive, and she knew that only after they completed their triad, would it be out of this world. Not that it wasn’t great with just the two of them, but Ady still had the ache in her chest for her other mate.
He, or she, was out there.
Ady only wished she had a clue that would pinpoint them to their mate.
“Every time we’re to
gether, I want more,” she whispered. He drew her to him, letting his hand slide to her ass. She knew that he loved touching, kissing, and fucking her ass.
“Is that so?” he growled, nipping her on her ear. She giggled as he squeezed her ass in his hand. If only he would go a little lower, then he would be able to slide his hand underneath her short dress and meet the naked flesh of her ass. Her breath caught in her throat as she felt the attraction between the two of them grow.
“Jaggar! I see you were able to finally come up for air and join us at our celebration.” A deep baritone voice broke through her thoughts. Turning her head, she found a handsome man, with two blonde women attached to each of his arms.
“Colton. I wouldn’t miss this for the world,” Jaggar replied with a laugh as they both separated to hug each other, with healthy slaps on the backs. “Raven. Serni. It’s good to see you both again. Let me introduce you to Ady.”
Ady smiled as she shook the hands of the two, beautiful women, who both glowed. Ady beat down the twinge of jealousy, for she knew one day soon, that would be her. She couldn’t wait to have their triad complete.
“You are just as beautiful as I imagined Jaggar’s mate to be,” Colton murmured, taking her hand, placing a small kiss on the back of it. She was flattered, but he didn’t do anything for her.
“Thank you. You three make a beautiful triad. I’m sure your children will be just as gorgeous.”
The three of them beamed with pride at the mention of the babies. Ady leaned back against Jaggar as he and Colton struck up a conversation. Classical music filled the air as the crowd thickened. Every dragon shifter was invited to this party. It wasn’t that often that a clan leader got to announce that his son’s triad was producing not just one, but two, babies. It was a time to rejoice, and everyone at the party was in a celebratory mood.
A smile graced Ady’s lips as she gazed around the room. Her eyes took in the other guests who were having a great time. Her smile slowly faded as the hairs on her arms stood at attention.
“What’s wrong?” Jaggar murmured against the top of her head. She glanced up to see the look of concern on his face.
“Nothing,” she replied. He must have felt her body grow tense, so she relaxed her muscles. He went back to his conversation with Colton, and her eyes flew back to the crowd.
Her dragon was searching. She tried to remain calm as her body became aware of someone else in the room.
“Mate,” her dragon hissed.
Ady recognized the familiar twinges in her gut, and felt Jaggar tense when he noticed too.
Their other mate was here!
“Do you feel it?” Jaggar murmured as Colton and his two mates waved before moving on.
“I didn’t want to cut your conversation short with your friend, but I feel our mate is here. They’re sad and tired. I think the curse is trying to—”
“We won’t let that happen. You’re able to feel their emotions?” he asked, looking down at her. She nodded her head as a shiver rolled down her spine. Someone had eyes on her, and it wasn’t Jaggar. Her animal liked this person, and they couldn’t be anyone else but their mate. “What is it?”
Jaggar kept his hands on her as she turned around. His hand braced against her belly and pulled her back against him. Her nipples drew into tight buds as they pushed against her dress.
“Our mate is here.” She groaned as he settled his chin on her shoulder.
“We’ll welcome our mate tonight then. If they have their eyes on us, then let’s show them what he or she has been missing.” His warm breath caressed her ear as his hand slid along her stomach to cup her aching mound in his hand. She bit her lip and held back a moan as she searched the room. They remained off in the corner, near a door, but she knew the person was watching them.
Her eyes finally connected with a set of lust filled eyes that weren’t missing anything.
“I see her,” Ady breathed as he slid her one perky mound free. Jaggar massaged her aching breast in his large hand. “The tall woman with the curly dark hair. She’s coming toward us now.”
“I see her too,” he growled in Ady’s ear. The party faded away from Ady’s sight. She only had eyes for their mate, who was making her way to them. She felt Jaggar slide his free hand beneath her dress. She smiled as his finger parted her slippery folds and massaged her swollen clit. She had been waiting for the chance, and now was the perfect time.
In front of their mate.
Neither Jaggar, or Ady, would care if someone did turn an eye to them. Right now, all that mattered was that their mate was watching them.
She came to stand in front of them, blocking the sight of Ady from the crowd. Her eyes locked on Jaggar before sliding over to Ady. She licked her lips as her eyes traveled down to the sight of Jaggar’s hand beneath Ady’s dress.
“Welcome, mate.” Ady gasped as he increased his pace on her clit. She instantly felt when the missing link fell into place in her heart. She rode Jaggar’s hand while her eyes locked with their mate’s. “I’m Ady. He’s Jaggar, and we’ve been waiting for you.”
“I’m Lini. I knew I would find you here.”
“Come with us, Lini,” Jaggar growled.
“I thought you’d never ask.”
Chapter Six
Lini felt disappointment spread in her chest when Jaggar covered Ady’s beautiful brown mound up with her dress. Lini’s tongue wanted the chance to explore the taut nipple, but her disappointment was short-lived as he ushered her and Ady through the door, away from the party.
Excitement filled her chest.
Mistress Zora had been right.
She said she would find her mates at the celebration, and she did. Jaggar was as Zora had described, tall and strong, and Ady was a voluptuous brown beauty with long black hair. Lini grew bold as she entwined her fingers with Ady’s. Her fingertips tingled with the thought of continuing what Jaggar and Ady had begun in the corner.
Her breaths were coming fast with the thought of what was to come with her two mates. Her skin grew sensitive as Jaggar’s hand connected with her shoulder.
“In here.” He guided them into a small room. The room was dark, and Lini’s shifter eyes could only make out shapes. It appeared to be a storage room, but Lini’s attention was drawn to the feel of small, soft hands running up her arms.
“Are you okay?” Ady’s soft voice broke through her thoughts. “I can feel the weakness in your body. We found you just in time.”
“I was so afraid the curse would claim me and I would never find you,” she admitted. She knew that they would need to complete the ceremony soon, or the curse would claim her.
“Fate won’t allow that,” Jaggar growled fiercely. “You won’t have to worry now. We will mate immediately to keep the curse away from you. We will not lose you.”
Lini’s breath caught in her throat as Ady’s hands traveled around her body. Lini, wanting to discover her mate’s body, reached out and found Ady’s bountiful breasts, releasing them from her dress. It may have been dark in the room, but the image of Ady’s brown mound was burned into her memory. She gripped the lusciousness and let loose a growl of her own.
A hard, warm body came to stand behind her.
Jaggar.
His hands slid along her hips and up to her breasts that were straining against her dress. His lips graced the crook of her neck as she leaned her head to the side. Both Ady’s and Jaggar’s hands roamed her body, slowly removing her dress from her body, leaving her in nothing but her heels.
“I’ve dreamt of this day for so long.” Lini gasped as she felt Ady’s lips close over her pussy lips. She spread her legs wider as she leaned her body back against Jaggar’s muscular one to allow Ady full access.
“Let our mate pleasure you.” Jaggar pinched her nipples before cradling them in his hands. She cried out as Ady slid a finger deep inside of her.
“She tastes divine, Jaggar.” Ady’s voice floated through the air as her fingers parted Lini’s labia.
&n
bsp; “As we knew she would,” he growled. “I’ll get my fill later. Let’s have our mate.”
Lini reached up, gripping the hair at the base of his neck as she began to thrust her hips forward. She closed her eyes tight as Ady’s talented tongue licked and fondled her swollen nub.
“Yes,” she hissed. She could feel her gums burn as her incisions demanded to descend.
“No, not now,” she begged her dragon.
“We’re running out of time,” her dragon snapped. “Claim them now.”
A warm, stiff form brushed against her naked ass.
Jaggar’s cock.
Her body ached to be stretched and filled by her mate, but currently, her other mate was on her knees, feasting on her pussy.
She had dreamt of the day that both of her mates would take her, and now that it was happening, the sensations were overwhelming. Jaggar nipped the flesh on the side of her neck with his sharp teeth as he thrust his hips against the swell of her ass. Ady’s lips locked around her clit and gently shook her head.
Lini cried out as her orgasm slammed into her. Jaggar’s strong arms caught her to keep her from falling. Ady stood and grabbed the back of Lini’s neck, slamming her mouth onto hers. The taste of her own pussy was on Ady’s tongue, and it drove her wild.
Jaggar spun her around, leaving her breathless as she felt the power radiate from him. His mouth slammed onto hers.
“Take her, Jaggar. Her pussy is slick and ready for you,” Ady said from behind her. He hoisted her up in the air as she wrapped her arms around his neck. With her legs wrapped around his waist, he plunged his cock deep inside of her.
“Yes!” she cried out. He paused, allowing her to adjust to his size, while Ady’s lips showered her back with kisses.
Jaggar lifted her up before slamming her down on his long length. She groaned as she held onto him.
“Don’t fight it, Lini. I can feel your body tighten around me. Let it go,” he growled, crushing her to him.
