Abby drew in a shuddering breath, fighting back a sob. How did her life get so screwed up so fast? She tried to keep a low profile. She didn’t go asking for trouble. She just wanted to be left alone.
Zoran’s dragon was going mad with the scent of the other male on his mate. He needed to give her reassurance and make her feel safe but if he didn’t get the other male’s scent off her soon, he was going to scare the hell out of her when he marked her. He wanted to find the male and kill him. He still might do that before they left. But first, he needed Abby to know he would never let anything happen to her.
Chapter 9
Zoran held Abby close to him before he gently pushed her back far enough to begin unbuttoning her blouse. Abby drew in a startled breath when she felt Zoran’s fingers on her blouse. Soon he was pushing it off her shoulders, letting it drop down on the floor by the bed.
Abby arched towards him, letting out her breath as Zoran ran his lips along her neck, “What are you doing?”
Zoran groaned. He wouldn’t lie to her, even if she couldn’t understand what he was saying, “My dragon cannot stand the scent of the other male on you. If I don’t bathe you and make love to you, he will claim you.” He released the clasp on Abby’s bra drawing a deep breath as her breasts were freed.
Zoran gently cupped them in his hands. “Beautiful.” He whispered as he bent his head to lick a nipple with his rough tongue.
Abby shuddered, “Oh God that feels so good.”
Abby began fumbling with the buttons on Zoran’s shirt, trying frantically to pull it off of him. She wanted to feel his skin against hers. She needed him so much. She leaned forward, running small kisses along his throat before biting his neck near his shoulder.
Zoran felt the startled growl of his dragon at the challenge. “Abby, elila, my dragon is too close. If you are not careful, you will incite him.”
“Does your dragon want me the same way you do?” Abby breathed as she moved to stand in front of Zoran. She could see how his eyes had changed. Narrow slits of black looked back at her through the dark gold. “I saw him this morning, when you made love to me. Does he want me, too?”
Abby suddenly felt wild and wanton. She wanted to make love with Zoran. She wanted him to claim her. To make her know she belonged to him and no other male could ever take her. She wanted to see his dragon in him as he made love to her. She wanted them both. She moved to stand slightly away from him. Unzipping her pants, she pushed them down, kicking her tennis shoes off and stepping out of them. She was standing nude in front of Zoran. Cupping her breasts, she rubbed her nipples feeling them swell to tight peaks.
“What does your dragon want, Zoran? I can see him looking at me through your eyes.” Abby asked huskily as she pulled her hair loose from the pony tail so it fell in waves down her back. “What do you want?”
Zoran felt his dragon roar at what Abby was asking. She was asking his dragon what he wanted, acknowledging him as a part of Zoran. His dragon wanted to catch her, to mark her, to claim her as his. Zoran knew Abby had no idea of what she was doing. He tried to speak, to let her know, but his dragon would not let him. Zoran stood up. He quickly removed his clothes, daring Abby to turn and run. He barely had control of himself and his dragon. If she ran, he knew he would lose all control. A small part of him wanted her to run, wanted to see if she could handle what he and his dragon could do to her, another part was afraid it would be too much for her. That it would break her.
Few Valdier females could accept a relationship that included a male, his symbiosis, and his dragon. That was why the number of true dragon shifters being born had decreased over the past few hundred years. Most females could barely accept the need to share themselves with the male and his symbiosis. For most females, if a male tried to let his dragon mate at the same time as he did, the female could actually die. Most females could not handle the dragon’s fire, or desire that floods her body during mating, burning at her to mate frantically until both the male and the dragon are sated. He didn’t want to chance Abby going through the fire but his dragon was demanding he do so. If she was his true mate, it roared, she would be able to handle both of them.
Abby looked over her shoulder at Zoran, “If your dragon wants a piece of me, he has to catch me first.” Abby said with a mischievous smile right before she bolted for the bathroom.
Zoran felt his dragon’s response to the challenge. Within moments, his eyes shifted even further and he felt the dragon fire build in his throat. A low growl escaped before he leaped forward after Abby. Abby turned and squealed with delight. She finally made Zoran lose a little of that hard control he always seemed to have. She loved it when his eyes changed. She watched as them changed earlier this morning, when he had made love to her for the first time. She also saw the colors of his dragon’s scales ripple under his skin when he came. She had never seen anything so wild, beautiful and hot in her life. She felt his hot breath on her neck right before she felt his hands grip her from behind. She looked down and saw as his hands shifted back and forth between his hands and the claws of his dragon. Abby shivered with desire as she thought of belonging to both of them.
Turning, she pulled Zoran’s head down to hers kissing him deeply as she let her hands roam his body. She was on fire inside. She needed to feel him take her. She needed him buried deep inside her. Reaching behind her, she turned on the shower. When she felt the steam rising behind her, she pulled back far enough for Zoran to see her wiggle her finger at him in invitation.
“Come into my lair.” Abby whispered as she reached out and grabbed Zoran’s hand pulling him towards her.
Zoran’s eyes narrowed as she talked directly to his dragon. He felt his skin ripple with scales as Abby challenged his dragon to please her. Zoran swung his head back and forth as he caught the scent of the other male still clinging to Abby’s skin. As he moved slowly towards her, his eyes narrowed on her neck. Moving so fast Abby didn’t even see him move, he pinned her to the wall of the shower, one hand on her throat and the other on her ass. Pulling her up and pressing her back against the wall of the shower, Zoran leaned forward to peer at Abby’s neck where Clay bit her. The sight of another male’s mark on Abby infuriated him. His vision turned red as a killing rage filled him that another male had the nerve to mark his mate. Zoran let his head fall back and a loud, unearthly roar left him as he called out a challenge to the male.
Abby stayed perfectly still as she watched Zoran’s dragon react to the mark Clay left on her neck. She knew Zoran and his dragon would never hurt her. She could feel Zoran shake as his dragon fought back the rage. She lifted her hands to his face cupping it between her palms.
“Mark me. Take his mark from me. Make me yours, completely.” Abby whispered softly, staring up into the elongated eyes of Zoran. She tilted her head back exposing her neck.
Zoran felt his body shuddered at Abby’s words. She was asking him to mark her as his for all to see. To mark like this would mean everyone would know she accepted both him and his dragon. It would also change her in a way she had no way of knowing. If she survived the change, they would be as one.
Zoran felt the dragon fire burning deep even as he tried to hold it back. It was too dangerous. She was not as strong as the females of his world. Her body could never survive the change. Even as he thought it, he felt the fire burning him, fighting to get out. Without conscious thought, he bent forward letting his teeth shift to sharp points as he bit down on the mark on Abby’s neck breathing dragon fire as he did.
Abby felt a sharp pain that quickly turned to fire as desire flooded her. She cried out at the intensity of it. Unable to stand still, she pulled Zoran’s head down holding it to her neck as he continued to breathe dragon fire into her. She could feel the fire moving through her as she pressed closer to Zoran.
“Please, I need more.” Abby whimpered trying to get closer to Zoran. “Please, Zoran.”
Zoran cupped Abby, pulling her up until she could wrap her legs around his waist while he cont
inued to breathe dragon fire directly into her blood stream. He was unbelievably hard. He had never before had the combined desires of both his dragon and his own body to deal with. When he felt the fire finally begin to burn down he pulled back far enough to capture Abby’s mouth with his own. He could feel the heat burning in her body. For the next several hours, it would get hotter and hotter. If she survived, he would have much to teach her. If she didn’t, they would both perish, for his dragon could not survive without her now.
Zoran groaned as he buried his hot throbbing length into Abby in one thrust. He needed her. Pushing through her tight channel while holding her against the wall of the shower, he pounded into her desperately. Waves of hot desire began flowing through Abby as the dragon fire spread. Abby cried out, arching against him as she came. Zoran shouted as he followed her a moment later. He remained holding her shoulders against the wall while he pushed his cock deep into her. His head was bowed as he tried to catch his breath. It had begun.
Abby ran her hands through his long black hair shivering as the water started to turn cold. “Zoran?”
Zoran jerked his head up, his eyes glowed a bright gold. “This is just the beginning, Abby. You wanted my dragon and you got him. You have both of us and now you will know what you have asked of me.” He knew Abby couldn’t understand him but he also knew she could see what she unleashed.
Abby’s eyes widened in shock, she could see his dragon clearly in his eyes. She could see the desire of both of them for her. Their need to claim her, mark her, make her theirs. She nodded as Zoran lowered her to the floor. She shivered as a wave of desire rushed through her as her body answered the call.
Zoran turned the shower off, his back to Abby as he tried to hold back. “Abby, go to the bedroom. Or better yet, run. I’m not sure how long I can hold back.” Zoran begged desperately.
Abby watched as Zoran’s body shuddered as he fought for control. “I’ll be waiting for you in the bedroom.” Abby ran her hand across Zoran’s back, letting her nails scrap across the scales rippling in waves.
Zoran let a moan escape at the feel of her nails. “Too late.”
Swinging around, Zoran picked Abby up, striding into the bedroom and tossing her on the bed. With a growl, he was on her, pulling her thighs apart as he bent and buried his head between them. Abby screamed as Zoran covered her mound. She felt the fire of his dragon as it brushed a breath across her sensitive clit. When she moved to get away, hard hands held her still, gripping her thighs and pushing them even further apart. Abby whimpered as she felt a long rough tongue stroke her. When Zoran pushed his finger deep inside her, she couldn’t contain the cry of pleasure that escaped her as she pushed down on it. Abby felt her climax as it exploded out of her, leaving her screaming as she felt Zoran lapping and sucking her until she sobbed. She was shaking so badly, she was afraid she would break apart.
As soon as he lapped up her cream, Zoran pulled away picking Abby up and turning her over until she lay on her stomach. Pulling her up by her hips, he mounted her from behind in one hard stroke. He pushed in as deep as he could go and still tried to go deeper, only stopping when he heard Abby whimper in protest. He pulled out and pushed in hard. He could not take her gently. He was burning with the need to make sure all traces of the other male were gone. Pushing in again, he pulled back, watching as his cock disappeared into her again and again. When he felt the dragon fire building inside Abby again, he increased his speed wanting to bring her pleasure as she rode the hot wave of transformation.
Abby whimpered as she felt the fire building inside her again. She felt like she was going to burst into flames, the desire building so hard and fast inside her she wanted to scream. Throwing her head back, she let out a loud scream as the wave of fire hit her hard and fast throwing her into another orgasm. She could feel her body clamping down around Zoran as she came pulsing around his cock as if she was trying to bury him even deeper inside her. She pushed back needing more of him as it crested again and again in hot waves. She began crying as it increased.
“More….Oh God, I need more.” Abby cried out shivering as the fire seemed to burn even hotter inside her.
Zoran clenched his eyes tight as he felt Abby fist his cock deep inside her. He could feel the heat building even hotter. His body reacted in an age-old primal desire to satisfy his mate. Never had he felt the waves of desire so intense or his need to fulfill them so strong. He pumped into her again and again, both of them climaxing as the dragon’s heat engulfed them both.
The heat had been driving them for the past few hours, allowing both of them only a short rest before the fire began again. Zoran worried for Abby. He knew she was exhausted but each wave only seemed to get hotter. Zoran watched as the transformation took a hold of Abby. She was unaware as the first faint ripples of dragon scales, pale blues, golds, and whites, began forming under her skin. Mounting her from behind, Zoran watched as thin membranes fanned out along her back. His dragon roared in triumph at watching his mate being born.
Holding Abby by the hips, he knew the next wave would be even hotter and wondered if she would be able to handle his total possession of her. She had no experience with the ways of his people or of a dragon’s heat. He would take her over and over throughout the night until the fire either burned out or burned her to death.
Abby collapsed on the bed breathing heavy. Zoran pulled out of her, rolling her over and sitting on her. Grabbing her nipples between his fingers, he pulled and pinched them getting her ready for the next wave. He shoved his cock towards her mouth.
“Take me.” He growled, pushing his cock against her lips daring her to take him in every way.
Abby’s eyes flashed with fire as she met the challenge Zoran was giving her, daring to take him in her mouth like he had her pussy. She could taste herself on him as she let him slide his long length into her mouth. He pulled her nipples, enjoying how she moaned around him as he pinched them tightly. Zoran rocked his hips back and forth sliding deeper and deeper with each thrust. He let go of one of Abby’s nipples long enough to stroke her throat.
“Zi, Abby. Zi!” Zoran groaned as he felt his climax build. He knew he didn’t have long before the last wave of heat would hit Abby. He shouted out, “Zi!” as his climax hit him hard and he watched as Abby drank his hot seed. He rocked his hips squeezing her nipples, forcing her to drink all of it before he pulled out and kissed her deeply wanting to taste both him and her on her lips.
“Zoran.” Abby looked up at Zoran with tears in her eyes. She loved him so much she felt like she was going to die when he left. She didn’t want to lose him. Reaching up, Abby kissed him deeply as she felt the fire building again. Panting, she pulled away as the fire burned her from the inside out. Screaming at the intensity of it, she arched up as it moved through her. She could feel hot juice flood her pussy as the wave moved over her. Crying out, she shook from the hot desire burning her.
Zoran pulled Abby’s thighs apart and buried himself in her, pushing deep. He could feel the heat. This was it. He prayed she was strong enough to handle what he was about to do. Pushing into her over and over, he waited for the right moment. When he felt his dragon roar, he pulled out turning Abby over and pulling her up onto her hands and knees. He had no way of preparing her for this; no way of warning her of what to expect. He could only hope she would accept him. He pushed into her pussy again pumping her as he spread the cheeks of her ass. Using her own juices, he slid two of his fingers deep into her pussy while he pumped her ignoring her whimpers at the tight feeling. Pulling his fingers out, Zoran slid them up to the tight ring of her ass wetting it before pushing past it. Abby jerked, groaning at the burning. Zoran held her tightly with one arm around her waist. Murmuring words of comfort, he tried to stretch her, to prepare her for his thick, long cock. He would take her hard and fast. He would possess her totally, marking her with the mark of his dragon as they both came. He needed to wait until she was at the peak of her transformation. He pushed his cock deep into her pussy waiti
ng until the telltale heat built to its hottest. He tried to prepare her as best he could. When he felt the heat build and Abby’s whimpering increased to cries and pants, he pulled out of her pussy pushing against her tight ring. Grabbing her hips to prevent her from pulling away, he slowly pushed past the barrier ignoring her cries as he settled all the way in.
“Now, elila. Now, come for me.” Zoran groaned as he began moving.
Abby pushed back trying to get away from the burning. She was on fire. As Zoran began moving, she felt the heat inside her build to a boiling point. Screaming, she became a wild thing. Fighting as the wave of desire crested over and over, she clawed the sheets as she pushed back trying to take as much of Zoran as she could, anything to put the fire of desire burning through her out. She could feel her orgasm building and building but it wouldn’t come. She was crying and pleading with Zoran to help her, to give her the release she needed, to put out the fire burning her. She needed him.
Zoran waited until he couldn’t hold on any longer, bending over Abby he pulled her up against his chest burying his cock as far as it would go, pinching her nipples, and sinking his teeth into her neck completing his marking. Abby screamed so loud and so long she finally lost consciousness as her orgasm hit her wave after wave. Even as Zoran pulled out of her exhausted body he could feel the aftermath of her climax as it continued to rock her. Zoran stumbled as he stood. Never before had he or his dragon ever been totally sated. He felt weak at having finally found one who could satisfy him completely. He took a deep breath before picking Abby up. He would bathe her and let her sleep for a little while. It would give her body time to finish the transformation.
Zoran’s hand shook as he gently brushed Abby’s hair away from her damp forehead. She had survived. His true mate survived and she accepted him, his dragon, and his symbiosis. Even as he thought that, he could feel the gold symbiosis moving around Abby checking to make sure she was okay. He gently bathed Abby in the big tub in the bathroom, enjoying being able to hold her as she slept. As he stared down into her flushed face he realized he loved her. He loved her gentle, compassionate nature, her sense of humor, her love for other creatures, her acceptance of him and who and what he was, and her ability to create beautiful works of art. He loved everything about her. He felt a pain around the region of his heart at the thought of anything ever harming her. Holding her close, he knew he would never let her go.
