“It's as I suspected. That shard is not yours, and Jada never should have given it to you.”
Umm, what? pinpricks stung Jade's chest around her heart. This. This was why cut was so standoffish. After everything, he still thought she had stolen Cage's shard.
Ouch.
How could he think that?
She swallowed and the pinpricks were replaced by the weight of a thousand stones on her chest.
Because, she hadn't ever really let Ky get to know the real her. Had she ever let anyone see who she really was? She only barely knew herself. She never made real decisions, except what kind of ice cream to have that night. But whenever she and Ky were together he had openly trusted her. Had trusted that she knew her own mind.
He understood her better than anyone else, maybe even herself.
“I'm sorry, Ky.”
Ky sighed and nodded. “I understand. I really do. She's your sister. I may be your mate, but, it's only been a few days and I swear to you I will do everything I can to make sure that in the future you can trust me.”
Jada took his hand in hers and pressed it open palm to her chest, over the bone carving with his soul shard. “No, I'm not sorry about the shard. I didn't take it. What I apologize to you for is not giving you the chance to see the real me. I didn't give you any reason to trust me so, it's no wonder you think I betrayed you for my family.”
“I want to see you, Jada. I want nothing more than for you to let me in. I promise to keep you and your soul sacred.”
“I know. I'm here. I can't promise that I will be perfect.” Jada squeezed his hand tighter when Ky shook his head. “But I promise to keep you and your soul sacred too. You are mine, Ky Puru. And I am yours, fully, completely, and openly. Forever.”
Blue light from underneath Ky's hand sparkled and filled the cavern. While everyone else stood watching, Jada and Ky’s souls rose from their bodies in brilliant blue swirls and danced together, intermingling, becoming one. The new life in that act of magic settled on them like a warm rain. Ky grabbed Jada up in his arms and brought his mouth down to hers.
It didn't matter that they were standing in a literal hell, she was going to kiss this man of hers and savor him.
Their kiss was gentle but filled with so much passion. They tasted each other, lips brushing and dancing together just as the souls had.
Someone cleared their throats, actually several someone's, and Jada reluctantly broke the kiss. She whispered against Ky's lips, “I love you.”
“I know.” He smiled and stole one more quick kiss. “I love you too.”
“Right, now that these two have made us all a little horny. Let's get out of here, so I can get my mate to spread her legs for me.”
Ciara giggled. “Yeah, like you're gonna have to try really hard to make that happen.”
Match groaned. “Great, now we need another ring.”
The only ones not saying anything where Jett and Portia.
Portia still held the yellow soul shard, dangling it from its cord, so it didn't touch her. She looked at it with anger. “If I give this to one of you, will you return it to Cage? Tell him I'm sorry I fooled him into giving it to me. It's obviously intended for his true mate, and that's not me.”
Jakob and Ky both moved to take the shard from her, but Jett stepped between them. “I'm sorry, Portia.”
For the first time Jada thought she saw some affection on Jett's face for Portia. But it wasn't love.
“What are you sorry for? It's not your fault that you don't have a soul shard of your own. Geshtianna told me that taking this one would make everything better.”
Jett shook his head and frowned. “I'm sorry that you have been taken advantage of and led astray, and that I let that happen.”
Portia's eyes went wide and she stepped back. “What you mean?”
Jett let his hand dropped to his side and clenched his jaw. “Geshtianna is not a friend to either of us. She's lied to both you and me. But it's my fault for allowing the charade to go on so long. You are not my mate.”
Portia wrapped her arms around herself, but the shard touched her skin and she yelped. She was on the verge of tears. She thrust her fist out and away from herself with the shard dangling as far away from her as she could get it. “Someone take this from me, now.”
Jett grabbed her fist in his own hands. “No. It cannot go back to Cage now. Not once it has found his mate.”
Both Ky and Jets eyes turned to Azynsa. She had been silent during most of the exchange.
But now that they took notice of her again, she took a deep breath and stood tall. She walked toward Portia, and with each step the shard grew brighter. It's light illuminated scales on Azynsa's skin that Jada hadn't noticed before now. They were almost translucent, but in dog glow from the shards light they were a pearlescent gold.
Azynsa reached out for the shard.
“A shard can only be given, not taken. You must offer it to her, freely and willingly,” Jett said.
Portia nodded, and took the two ends of the cord in either of her hands. “Here.”
Azynsa bowed her head and Portia tied the cord around her neck. The second the shard hit Azynsa's skin a golden light grabbed her body, thrusting it into the air. It shot from her eyes, mouth, and fingertips, bowing her back. Her dark skin shimmered as the light settled all along it.
She slowly floated back to the ground. She looked around at each of them, a new light shining from her eyes, like sunshine had been captured in her irises. They were no longer brown, but shiny gold.
The surge of power faded and settled to the spot where the shard lay between her breasts. Before any of the rest of them could even blink, Azynsa turned and disappeared into a tunnel.
The dragons moved to follow her, but Jett blocked their way. “She's gone. I don't know where, but she's no longer in those caverns and tunnels. I can feel every being down here and she's not one of them.”
Neither Jakob or Ky like that answer.
“We've got a lot of questions to answer, rogue. Let's go,” Jakob said.
“Not this time, boys. I've got some havoc to wreak, and if you don't head back up your tunnel in the next couple of minutes, you're going to have a brand spanking new horde of demon dragons on your tail.” Jett shifted into his Dragon form and flew down the same tunnel Azynsa had disappeared into. A rumble and screeches echoed from inside.
Ky took a couple of steps into the tunnel and shouted back. “I think he's holding them back. Let's move, move, move.”
Ky and Jakob their Dragon forms. Ky stood at the tunnel's entrance and Jakob opened a fissure in the ceiling above them. Ciara lifted her hands and the falling dirt and rocks fell to the side without hitting any of them.
Jakob picked up Match and his talons and nodded to Ciara. She grabbed Portia and the ground beneath them suddenly exploded, pushing Ciara and Portia up through the fissure.
“Ky, grab your mate.”
Jada met him halfway and he cradled her in his claws. They flew twisting and turning through the ground for what seemed like forever. Jakob was right behind them with Match in tow. The ground closed up beneath them blocking any demon dragons from following.
They popped out of the earth into a wet and green oasis.
Dax, Steele, and Fleur were there waiting for them along with Ciara and Portia.
Fleur ran across the lush green grass and grabbed Jada up in a hug. “Ciara says were planning another wedding.”
They were?
Ky shifted into his human form again and chuckled. He pulled Jada away from Fleur and straight into the pool of water at the center of the oasis. “I don't think there's any getting around that, not with Ciara around. But, I would like it.”
After being in that hot underground hell, the water and Ky’s love washed over her, soothing her soul. She splashed the water over both of them and then swam up to him circling her arms around his neck and her thighs around his waist.
“I know what you would like, but are you asking me
something?” She ground herself against him and found exactly what she was looking for. The water had revitalized him and his cock pushed against the apex of her legs.
“Do you want me to ask you something, my curvy succubus?” He peeled the dusty shirt over her head and tossed it behind him into the water.
She did the same to him, but it took a little wriggling which Ky didn't seem to mind at all.
“Geez, you two get a room,” Match shouted.
when Jada glanced back, she couldn't tell who he was actually saying that to since Jakob and Ciara were also wrapped up in each other. A thin layer of water rose from the edge of the oasis pool and formed a dome over it, secluding
Ky and Jada from the others.
“I still say we need to get that old grump laid. Now, where were we.” Ky pushed his hands into her hair and pulled her in for a kiss. This one scorching. But he broke it way before she wanted him to. “I was asking you something, wasn't I?”
“Later, much much later.” Jada didn't want to wait any longer to be with Ky.
“No, I don't think so. I want to know the answer to this question before I make love to you.”
“Yes. There's the answer to your question.”
Ky laughed. “You didn't even let me ask.”
“Is that the wrong answer?” She waggled her eyebrows at him letting him know it was time to get the show on the road because they both knew what they wanted from each other.
“I'm the hold you to that. Because I have a lot of questions that that might be the answer to.”
“Well then your first question better be can I take off your pants.”
It was. They were both completely naked by the count of seven and back in each other's arms.
Because I looked over the blue Dragon tattoo along Jade is collarbone. God, that felt good. She tipped her head to the side giving him more access. He bit her there gently, scraping his teeth across her skin. That shot opposing strait between her legs.
Ky's fingers followed that up with soft stroking that went from her Dragon, down between her breasts, across her belly, and in between her legs. He found her clit already throbbing and hard.
She closed her eyes and basked in his touch, no longer afraid of what she thought she was supposed to do. Whatever they did together, felt right, felt good.
“Just remember, you said yes.”
Ooh. That sounded promising.
Goddess of Love
Ky's need for Jada was stronger than it had ever been. Touching her and seeing her eyes fill with lust and love had him ready to explode.
She had a new air about her, this time. A new confidence. And it was sexy as fuck.
While it was a turn on to dominate her, he didn't need it. All he needed was her.
He'd make her submit to him, anytime she wanted. But, all they both wanted now was to join, to be one again.
After he made her come a dozen times. Mates liked that.
“Mmm, Ky. That feels so good. Don’t stop.”
She clung to his shoulders, her nails digging reflexively into him.
He loved this look on her face, like total comfort in herself and ecstasy combined. He loved even more that he was the one and only man to put that look there.
Jada moved her hips in time to the swirls of Ky’s fingers around her clit. She no longer needed him to control her pleasure. She was taking it for herself.
Absolutely gorgeous.
“That’s it baby. Take what you need. There’s more where this came from.”
She bit her lip and moaned as he increased the speed of his fingers through her wet folds. She closed her eyes and threw her head back. Those luscious pink nipples of hers puckered and he knew she was close already.
“Look at me, Jada. I want to see your eyes when you come.”
“Ky, I…God.” She looked at him, her eyes glazed with pure sensuality. Her fangs had dropped at she licked her lips.
Oh, yeah. Her bite was deliciously erotic, but if she bit him now, he wouldn’t last. There was no way he was coming anywhere but inside of her hot sweet cunt.
She breathed in heavy gasps and her hips thrust against him. He couldn’t wait for the same when his cock was inside of her and she rode him as hard as he did her.
“Ooh, Ky, I’m coming. I’m coming.” Her words slurred into moans as her body shook and exploded for him.
Despite his vow to come inside of her, he was damn close to bursting himself, just from the glow of her sexual energy around him.
He floated her back into the water, letting its warmth embrace her. He needed a minute to cool down, because they were far from done.
“Ky,” she sang his name. “I know you’ve got plans, but I want your cock inside of me, filling me. I need you.”
How could he refuse? “I will fuck you anyway you want, aroha, but indulge me a little first. I’ve missed the taste of you.”
“That’s not fair. You can’t make me decide between coming with your cock inside of me or your mouth on me.”
“Sure, I can.” Because eventually, she’d do both, and more. “Pick one, and then we’ll do the other.”
“Well, when you put it that way.” She laughed.
He’d never heard her laugh during sex. She’d been so tied up in her head before.
He loved this new place they’d found between them.
“I’ve been missing you tasting me too.”
“That’s what I like to hear.” He pulled her over to him and guided her feet so she stood on the sandy floor of the pool. “Now, don’t move. I’ll be right back.”
She gave him a funny, definitely wondering where he was going. The answer to that was, down.
Ky slipped under the water, letting his dragon do the breathing. He could stay under almost indefinitely because the water brought him the oxygen he needed.
He knelt before her, that beautiful pussy right in front of him for the taking. With the first long swipe of his tongue, her hands went into his hair and gripped his scalp.
Her plump thighs called out for him to tease them with love bites and scratches of his whiskers. She jumped at the first nibble and tried to guide his head back to her pussy.
He bit her again on the other thigh, watching the water tremor around her as she jumped. He soothed the nips with his tongue and then worked his way up her inner thigh to her sweet, sweet pussy.
It had only been a day and he’d missed the sweet flavor of her like he’d been without it for a lifetime.
He swirled his tongue in circles over her clit. It was still sensitive from her last orgasm and he took her gently.
Ky slipped deeper into the water and flipped himself upside-down so her could slide his face all the way between her legs.
He lapped at her dragging his tongue from her clit to her channel. Jada spread her legs wider, showing him she wanted this as much as he did. He thrust his tongue into her, fucking her.
Her muscles fluttered, all ready to come again. Ky wrapped his arms around her thighs and held her tight to his mouth, pushing his tongue in and out of her, loving the soft heat of her.
He called upon the water to push her farther and swirled a water eddy over her clit. Even through the dampening of effect of the pool between them, he heard her moan.
Even as the water washed away her juices, her body made more, preparing itself for him.
He elongated his reach with just the tiniest shift, pushing his tongue into the dragon form. He thrust it deeper inside of her and used the muscle to wiggle it back and forth along with the in and out motion.
That and the water swirling over her clit pushed her over the edge. Her pussy clenched and her thighs tightened around his head.
But, he didn’t let up. He wanted another one from her. He pushed her, ate at her, fucking her with his tongue and the water until she shook again, trembling from head to toe.
He wondered if he could get one more out of her, but he didn’t get to find out because Jada yanked him up out of the water by the hair.
He flicked his dragon tongue at her.
“Oh my god,” she laughed. “You had better patent, trademark, and market that move. I know a whole lot of incubi who’d pay top dollar to be able to do whatever you just did.”
“I’m afraid that’s an ancient dragon secret, and I think we’ll keep that between us.”
“Okay, but only if we keep it between us often.”
“That, I promise.”
Ky dragged Jada down into the water, forming a thin bubble of air around her body. He was a little worried it would freak her out, and at first, she was surprised, but once she looked around and saw the world that he did, she smiled at him.
By the First Dragon, he loved her and the way she trusted him. He would do everything he could to keep and earn that trust from her every day.
They nestled into the soft sand, a layer of water cushioning her back. He guided her legs, one wrapping around her waist and the other over his shoulder.
His cock was hard and aching and only her body would satisfy the deep need he had for her.
He pushed through the bubble of air around her and into her pussy, just as wet, but hot and tight. In this position he could go deep and he slowly inched into her until he was balls deep.
Fuck, she’d taken all of him and it felt so good, so perfect. She grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. He thrust into her mouth and her pussy at the same time, each mimicking the other. They moved together, slowly at first, but soon the shard around her neck began to glow and their souls reached out to dance with each other again.
They became one, feeling each other’s pleasure, each touch, each tremor of nerve endings singing with the bliss of their joining.
Her pussy fluttered around his cock, driving them both closer to coming. She’d come enough already that her body reached for his but needed a push to reach that peak.
Ky guided Jada’s hand between their bodies and her fingers to her clit. She used her own fingers to open herself wider and circle the little nub finding a rhythm in counterpoint to Ky’s thrusts.
