Dragon Down (Dragon Guard Book 22)

by Mills, Julia

  “Oh, my Goddess, I have been wanting to do that since the first moment I saw you,” she let float from her mind to his as she deepened their kiss.

  “Ditto, mo enchantress beag, ditto.”

  Chapter Eleven

  The next few hours were crazy. Callum wanted to take Kamdyn to the Clinic then to his home, lock her in and never let her out of his sight again. However, much to his chagrin his fiery little witch had other plans. First of all, after he’d introduced her to Kayne and Maddox, she demanded to speak to Calysta alone .

  And if that wasn’t enough, Cal hadn’t made it but ten paces outside the cave, before both witches disappeared back into that same, bloody hellhole, with a backwards order of, “Don’t follow us,” shouted in unison.

  Cursing a blue streak and kicking the ground, Callum growled, “Known her less than two days and already that woman is gonna be the death of me.”

  “But what a way to go,” Maddox quipped from where he paced just outside the mouth of the cave. “I wouldn’t trade all the hair-pulling, ulcer-inducing, maddening things that Calysta puts me through for all the gold in the world. That woman is my reason for being, and I’d follow her to the ends of the Earth, if need be.”

  “And that’s coming from the grumpiest, meanest SOB I’ve ever known,” Kayne chuckled from where he sat on a huge rock off to the side. “Will miracles never cease?”

  “Mates are miracles,” Grey agreed with a kind of dreamy look in his eye that he immediately tried to hide by looking away and whistling to himself.

  Nice try, buddy. I know that look all too well…

  Finally, after what seemed like forever and having received more advice from the mad dragon than he ever wanted, Callum laid eyes on Kamdyn and damn it all if she wasn’t crying… again . Racing to her, running his hands all over her, looking for any new bruises, burns, cuts, or scrapes, he demanded, “What’s wrong? What happened? Is Thanatos back?”

  Shaking her head and leaning into his chest, his mate rambled while sobbing, “No, no, nothing like that. We couldn’t save Terran. I thought I wanted him dead… but then I found out he didn’t do it… I mean he was an awful human and an even worse witch, but he didn’t deserve…” She gripped the sleeves of his T-shirt, and cried harder. “I wanted my magic back… my family’s magic… but not like this… not… not…”

  Thankfully, Calysta filled in the blanks, briefly explaining the part Terran, being influenced by Thanatos, played in the death of Kamdyn’s parents, the loss of her magic and her ultimate capture. To avoid any more tears, because every single one broke his heart, Cal neglected to mention that he thought the male witch got exactly what he deserved.

  Quickly changing the subject, he pulled back and waited until Kamdyn was looking up, before asking, “Now, can we please go to the Clinic and have Niall check your wounds?”

  As if his words had been just what she needed to hear, Kamdyn’s tears dried up, and she grinned, “Watch this?” Before adding, “Leaigheas.”

  And there, right before his eyes, a warm soft glow, that reminded the Guardsman of the little fairies the Nans used to call to entertain him when his nightmares were too awful to sleep, flitted and fluttered from one of Kamdyn’s wounds to the other until she was healed and giggling, “I got my magic back! It came back to me. Calysta made it come back to me.”

  Jumping into Cal’s arms, she kissed him soundly before leaning back and grinning, “So, no trip to the Clinic. Let’s just go meet your people and leave all this crap behind. I think we’ve all suffered enough.”

  Wondering what the conspiratorial look between his mate and Calysta meant, Callum let it go in favor of having some fun with his little witch. Lifting her off the ground and heading towards their horses, who were safe and sound in the woods almost a mile away, Cal agreed, “Whatever you want, you get, mo chroí .”

  Laughing over his shoulder, Kamdyn chuckled, “Oh, Calysta, you were so right. He is absolutely perfect.”

  The horseback ride home with Kam’s arms wrapped around his waist and her amazing curves tight against his back nearly drove Callum to make a detour and claim a little private time with his little witch. But, as luck would have it, Kayne rode next to them the whole way, chatting with Kamdyn until they were safely within the gates of the Lair.

  Finally home and sure he was going to get Kamdyn all to himself, Cal almost called his lightning and blasted his brethren when he and the others arrived at the Grand Hall to a Welcome to the Clan Party for Kam already in full swing. Sure, he was glad they were working so hard to make his mate feel at home, but he had a special kind of payback planned for Maddox and Kayne for calling ahead and making sure he had to wait to have Kamdyn all to himself.

  Lots of food, lots of laughs and even a little dancing was more than enough comradery for Callum, who had never been and would never be a joiner. Waiting for the moment when they were blessedly alone, the electric dragon thread his fingers through his mate’s and with a little tug, pulled her out the back door, swept her up in his arms and raced to his house.

  Jumping onto the porch, Callum nearly tore the knob off the door as he fumbled to get it open and get inside, away from prying eyes. Once there, he kicked the door shut, set Kamdyn’s feet on the floor, pulled her to him, and looked at the woman who made his life complete simply by being with him.

  Drawing on his tremendous strength of will, he fought against both his dragon and himself to at least ask Kamdyn if this was what she wanted. They had after all, truly just met. Maybe she didn’t want to take things so fast. Maybe she wanted to wait.

  Opening his lips to ask all the questions running through his mind, he was surprised to see a grin on her beautiful lips and a glint in her gorgeous eyes. Going up on her toes, she tapped his temple and teased, “I can hear all those crazy thoughts, let me show you, instead of telling you what I think of waiting.”

  Placing her lips on his, she tasted first one corner and then the other of his mouth before tenderly kissing his cupid’s bow and running just the tip of her tongue across the seam of his lips. The longer she teased him, the more their passion rose, making it impossible for him not to take over and taste all of her mouth, sliding his tongue along hers and feed the desire he felt growing between them.

  Kamdyn gave him complete control, her enticing moans and sweet gasps spurring him on. Her nails scratched at his chest and shoulders through the thin cotton of his shirt, igniting a fire only the feel of being buried deep inside the one made for him by the Universe could satisfy.

  His hands found the pull at the top of her zipper of the dress Calysta had given her. Sliding it gently down her back with one hand, he slipped his other under the silky material. Sparks exploded between them as flesh met flesh. Needing to feel all of her body against his, his now free hand joined the other in pulling the multi-colored material off her shoulders and down her wonderfully curvaceous body, making sure to take her bra with him, needing to see as much of her as possible.

  Kneeling in front of her, the electric dragon looked up at his spectacular mate. In less than two days, Kamdyn had become his everything. She was everything any man could ever want and thank the Heavens, she was all his. He loved that she stood before him topless and confident. The gleam in her eyes said she knew he found her attractive and that the feeling was more than mutual.

  Gently massaging up her well-toned legs in pursuit of ridding her of the one slip of fabric keeping him from worshipping her naked body as the Goddess had intended, Callum watched the passion fill her deep gray eyes. His fingers paid special attention to the tops of her thighs, teasing along the lace of her panties, reveling in the heat and succulent aroma pouring from her center.

  Slipping his hands under the silk at her hips, he slowly slid her panties down her legs, following the soft dark silk down her legs with soft kisses and nips, loving the goose bumps that rose on her silken skin. Lifting first one foot and then the other he threw her panties to the side before kissing the tops of both her feet and beginning
his journey back up her body, back to where he wanted to be.

  The higher he climbed, the more Kamdyn wiggled and pushed her thighs together, but he was having none of it. Holding her legs where they were, he kissed the tops of her knees and then moved around to the backs. Lavishing her tender skin with his lips and tongue, he smiled as she trembled. Her fingers dove into his hair as she mewled, “Oh, Callum, yes, oh my Goddess, yes.”

  Smiling against her skin, he answered directly into her mind as to not stop his seduction, “ No sweeter words were ever spoken mo ghrá .”

  Moving to the tops of her thighs, he looked up nearly getting lost in her heavily-lidded eyes. The effect he had on his little witch was intoxicating, something he knew he would treasure for the rest of his life. He loved that she fought to catch her breath and moaned his name like a mantra of what was to be between them.

  Moisture coated his fingertips as he slipped them between her thighs, the proof of her desire flowing freely from her center. The need to taste her, to take her in and have her take him, was overwhelming. Sliding her legs farther apart, he licked up the inside of one thigh and then the other. He held tight to her legs as the intense feelings he invoked within his little witch caused her to try to squeeze them together again and again.

  Blowing small puffs of air against the wet curls that covered her mound as just the tip of his finger teased her outer lips, Kamdyn’s nails scratched against his scalp as she pulled his hair and whimpered, “Oh…oh, oh, Callum, please, please…you’re…you’re making…”

  Her words evaporated in a wail of pleasure as he pushed first his middle and then his ring finger deep into the warmth of her desire. The contractions of her excitement pulled his fingers farther into her depth. Proof of her arousal flowed freely, wetting his palm as he worked his fingers in and out of his stunning mate.

  Her head thrashed from side to side, rubbing against the wall. His free hand, laid upon the sweet softness of her stomach, was all that kept her standing as her body shuddered under his loving touch. Kamdyn panted and cried out, “Callum, please…please, don’t tease me…I need you…”

  The sounds of her passion were music to his ears. He sought to wring every last ounce of it from her as he crooked his fingers in a come-hither motion and teased the bundle of sensitive nerves deep within her at the same time his thumb and forefinger gently squeezed her swollen nub.

  In a single heartbeat, Kamdyn was lost to her orgasm. Screams of passion filled his home as Callum continued to hold his mate upright while quickly working his fingers in and out of her. Her awe-inspiring climax went on and on. The sweet scent of fresh rain filled his senses until the electric dragon could hardly control himself.

  Watching her expressive face, Callum knew the moment Kamdyn began her descent from ecstasy and without preamble, growled, “And now I shall have mine,” and in one fluid motion slid her legs over his shoulders, placed his hands on her hips, and began to feast.

  One sip of her arousal and Cal was a goner. Driving his tongue as far into his mate as he could go, he lavished the special bundle of nerves at the top of her channel with the tip of his tongue and smiled against her heated flesh as Kamdyn bore down, rocking back and forth, driving his tongue even deeper.

  Their rhythm was frantic. Cal tasted all of her. The warm sweetness of her arousal flowed down his throat. His dragon roared. Nothing had ever felt so right. He was blissfully complete for the first time in all his life.

  The walls of her vagina contracted with more force and speed. Her juices flowed more freely, wetting his chin and dripping onto his shirt but still he fed, still he drove Kamdyn to completion, needing to feel her come into his mouth.

  Kamdyn howled as his frenzied tongue flew in and out of her. Her hands were once again in his hair, pulling and tugging on his short strands until he was sure he would be bald, not that it mattered one iota. He was pleasuring his mate; the rest of the world be damned.

  Cal could feel the force of her orgasm gaining momentum. Feel her need to surrender but needing that final push to fall into the abyss of insurmountable pleasure. Thrusting his tongue into her as deep as he could go then immediately pulling it out, the electric dragon gently bit down on Kamdyn’s swollen nub and held on tight as she came with such force it was a miracle they weren’t both on the floor.

  Driving his tongue back into her, he licked and sucked and teased, making his little witch come over and over until she was begging, “Please…please…Callum…If…you don’t…stop…I’m gonna pass out.”

  “Then pass out is what you will have to do,” Cal answered, needing his mate more than he’d ever needed anything…ever.

  He needed to be buried deep within her. Needed to feel her coming around his cock. Needed to be one with the light of his soul.

  Pulling his tongue out of her, he let her limp legs slide down his arms then jumped to his feet. Although his desire was driving him near to madness, Callum stopped to marvel at the sight of his Kamdyn gasping for air with lust soaked eyes and her bottom lip red from where she’d bitten it from the sheer passion of their lovemaking.

  Slamming his lips to hers, he used the speed given to him by the Universe to strip out of his clothes. Throwing them over his shoulder, the garments joined Kamdyn’s on the floor as he pulled his lips from hers with a gasp, lifted her into his arms, and climbed the stairs to his bedroom.

  Recovering quickly, his little witch placed lazy kisses along his chest as her fingers teased the hair across the marking depicting his dragon that wrapped over his shoulder. He sucked air through his teeth as she scraped her nails across his raised nipples and his painfully hard erection jumped against the soft globes of her bum.

  A sly grin crossed her lips as the tip of her tongue danced over his chest, and she whispered, “Someone’s excited,” into his mind.

  Crossing the threshold of what would be their room, Callum stalked across the room and gently laid Kamdyn in the middle of the king-sized bed before attempting to follow her down. Much to his surprise and delight, his wild little witch had other plans as she rolled to her stomach and lifted up onto her knees.

  He was momentarily dumbfounded but then almost came where he stood when she flipped her long dark mane of curls to the side, looked over her shoulder and purred, “What are you waiting for, my magical dragon?”

  Callum needed no more invitation. From one heartbeat to the next he went from standing at the side of the bed to on his knees with his hands on Kamdyn’s hips and his incredibly hard erection poised at her warm wet entrance. Her eyes glittered as the setting sun shone through the windows. Flames danced along his spine, filling every fiber of his being with the undeniable fact that he’d known from the moment he’d seen her in his dreams—this woman, his Kamdyn, was all he would ever need. She was his love, his soul— his everything , and as soon as he made love to her, he was going to make sure she felt the same way. But, first things first.

  Caught in her hypnotic gaze, Callum slowly pushed into her. Inch by glorious inch, closer and closer to being one with the woman who completed him as no other ever could, the electric dragon panted as the need to lunge forward battled with the want to savor every single second of entering his mate. Kamdyn, however, had other plans. Taking control completely from him, she pushed her hips backward and engulfed him in the fiery heat of her depths.

  The tip of his erection could go no further into her. Kamdyn’s ass slapped against his hips, and then all motion stopped. They sighed in unison as her heavenly walls contracted around him, pulling him even deeper, holding them together. Then his glorious mate rolled her hips in the most erotic little figure eight, and both man and dragon roared to the Heavens.

  The need to move became overwhelming. His fingers dug into Kamdyn’s soft flesh as he pounded in and out of her. She rocked on her knees, meeting him thrust for thrust, his true match in every way. Unbridled passion flowed between them, and he couldn’t get enough of her, never wanted to leave the haven of her body ever again.

 
; Leaning his much larger body over hers as they continued to move as one, Callum palmed both of her ample breasts. He loved the way they swayed in his hands as his body moved in and out of hers. He massaged her supple skin with enough force to drive a squeal of pleasure from her lips and grinned as the tips of her hardened nipples drove into his hands.

  The harder he massaged, the harder her walls contracted around his erection. The erotic massage drove the breath from his lungs. Callum panted while trying to maintain control as his orgasm threatened to overtake him. Needing to climax at the same time as Kamdyn, the electric dragon tenderly pinched both of her nipples between the thumb and forefinger of each hand at the precise moment that he rolled his hips and thrust even harder than he had before. The change in position caused the tip of his cock to brush the nerves at the top of her channel on every swipe while his hips pushed against her swollen and sensitive nub.

  Feeling Kamdyn just about to lose control, Callum bit down on the tender skin where her neck met her shoulder, the spot where his mating mark would be after the official ceremony. Screaming his name until she lost her voice as Cal roared against her skin, Kam came with such force that he was forced to let go of her beautiful breasts and put his palms on the bed to keep from collapsing onto her back. Their combined ecstasy went on and on, wringing every drop of pleasure from them both.

  Slowing his motions, Callum gently moved with small strokes until both their heart rates returned to normal. Still buried deep within his mate, the electric dragon wrapped one arm around his witch’s lovely waist and slowly let his still semi-erect cock slide from the sweetness of her pussy.

  Rolling her over in his arms before laying her head on her pillow, he followed her down onto the bed and pulled her close. Looking deep into her love-soaked eyes, he whispered, “Wanna do this forever?”
