“I didn’t realize my firebonds were so foolish. Don’t you understand?” I snarl, my need clawing at my chest as if a succubus has climbed inside me and is begging to get free. “I fucking want you.” I roam my eyes down Rarity’s body, then slide them up Cailian’s. “I am close to being thrown into a rut and when that happens— not if— there will never be a second where you will be free of me. I will fuck you. I will knot you. I will not stop until I do not have a drop of come left to give. So when I say, ‘Please, do not touch me’ it is not because I do not want you but that I am saving you from the beast inside me that is nearly too far gone. So be good and do not tempt your dragon.” I release the hold I have on them and they slump against the tree.
The lust is so strong, I have to take a step away.
They like the sound of that.
“And if instinct is all I have to go by, your heats are close as well. We need to get this over with. Does it really matter if we meet everyone today? We have the rest of our lives. Can’t we go back to my castle? I’ll bathe you both in the hot spring I have running through my property. You’ll love it.”
“I want to see everything. And if you’re right, then we don’t have much time before we are locked away in the bedroom fordays.” Rarity wiggles her eyebrows. “I have no complaints about that.”
“You’ll most likely be pregnant after the fact. The both of you,” I state, my blood boiling with desire. I want to see them round with my child. I wonder what our children will be, what they will look like.
I’ve always heard species can only be one, but what if our child had all three DNA traits? I wouldn’t care. I only want them to be healthy.
“I am more than okay with that. I would love to start a family with you both,” Rarity says.
“Even if we have so much to learn about one another?” Cailian asks. “Even if we—” he stops speaking, glancing to the left to look out into the frozen forest.
“Even if we what?” Rarity wraps her arms around him, pressing her cheek against his back.
“Nothing,” he says, forcing a smile. “Let us go before it becomes too late. With the trolls in the forest, I do not want to risk anything.”
I cup the back of his head while placing my hand on Rarity’s arm, needing to feel their skin against mine. “I won’t let anything happen to you. I promise.”
“It is not us I am worried about,” Cailian leans in, pressing his forehead against my chest before turning his head and placing his ear against my heart. “It is you,” he whispers.
“Me?” I kiss the top of his head, smiling at Rarity who is standing behind him. “There is no need to worry about me. I’m nearly eight feet tall in this form and too many feet to count in my dragon.”
“Not if they get to your heart,” he exhales a shaky breath. “And I happen to like the sound of the strong, rugged beat. I do not want it taken from us when the song soothes us to sleep.”
“I feel the same,” Rarity speaks, her voice nearly covered by the slight static of the snow falling. “I don’t want to risk you. How many hours do we have before it is considered late? I— I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to either of you. I— I— can’t think about—” Her eyes begin to well with tears, and they shine like colors reflecting in a kaleidoscope.
I wipe them away, pulling my firebonds to my chest. “Nothing will happen to me. There is no heart for those trolls to take.” I lean away cupping their cheeks with my oversized hands that seem to engulf them. “You two have already taken it so how can they take what is not there?”
“Your words are sweet even if they are false,” Cailian says.
I urge them forward. “Come on. Let’s go to the village. Then we will stay in my castle tonight.”
A wave of fear drifts from Cailian as he hurries ahead of us. Is he afraid to go to my castle?
“Cailian,” I say his name with an edge, and yet, he keeps walking away from me. I pick up my pace to catch up with him only to slip on a sheet of ice. “Oh, shit—” my breath is knocked out of me when my back slams against the ground.
It doesn’t end there.
Rarity bends down to pick me up— and she could with her vampire strength— but I begin to slide down the hill.
“Rarity! Rarity—” I reach for her hand and once I grab it, the speed I’m sliding at begins to increase so I tug Rarity down on accident.
She yelps, slamming her elbow into my gut and I groan. Rarity’s claws sink into my chest as we somehow move faster. Snow covers my face and flies on either side of us. I try to stop but the ice is too slick. I can’t seem to get any traction.
Cailian turns around when he hears the commotion and his eyes widen, knowing what is about to come because it is too late to move. Rarity and I ram against his legs, and he hits theground beside us. His hair is no longer perfect, and his crown is tangled in braids. I snag his ankle, pulling him to me so I can make sure he stays with us.
I didn’t know our kingdom was so…. steep. I need to get out more.
“Ahhhhh!” Rarity screams when we hit a bump and catch some air.
The sky passes above me, my lashes are coated with snow, my cheeks are frozen, and I can’t feel my tail.
What if it isn’t attached anymore? What if it got frozen solid and snapped off?
