“My knot,” he sighed, his movements now slower, his cock dragging into me with precision and intensity.
“Your knot?” I panted? “How is that possible?”
He groaned again, his fingers digging into my hips. “My dragon side took over, sorry.”
“When did you even come?!” I demanded, feeling bereft of feeling his cum fill me up. I hadn’t felt anything!
“It took hold before I came,” he mumbled, like he was embarrassed.
I couldn’t help but laugh, making the vibration travel down to where we were connected, forcing a moan out of us.
His hand stroked my cock as he kissed my neck. “Let’s make sure you’re left satisfied, my omega.”
I was knotted, so truly it didn’t take much before I came in his hand, his grip on my cock the perfect pressure and tugging,just how I needed it really. I clenched around his knot as I came, making River moan loudly. Then I felt it, his hot cum claiming me.
“Thank the gods,” I laughed, feeling so damn satisfied and sated against the tree.
“Um,” River swallowed behind me.
“What?”
“My knot isn’t deflating.”
“Oh.” The horror. “Then you better make me come again.”
Chapter Nineteen
River
After three orgasms, my knot finally deflated, a sure sign my dragon form had needed to reclaim our omega more thoroughly than I’d thought. I had no idea a knot could even form outside of heats and ruts, but it wasn’t as if we’d asked these types of questions growing up. Maybe it was a mate thing, but considering it hadn’t happened earlier today, I think it’s mostly my dragon side who needed to stay locked to Ember for as long as possible.
We were now back in bed, a huge food trolley next to us with loads of delicious food for us to eat. I felt a tad guilty that I had to cut our date short, but I hoped Dusty and Ember would forgive me for it.
Ember was humming happily as he ate a meat skewer with some type of beef that had been seasoned to have a hint of spice to it. The kitchen had clearly tried out new recipes now that Ember was a part of our household and they wanted to see what he liked and disliked. I loved that they hadn’t just continued making what the rest of us preferred, but instead were cateringto what they thought a phoenix shifter would be into. They were right on the spice, clearly, as Ember only picked out the options that held different levels of heat to them, but none of the mild ones.
“I love watching you eat,” I rumbled happily, satisfied that I got to care for my omega like this, feeding him even though I hadn’t made the food myself.
“And I love eating,” he countered with a wide grin, meat juice covering his lips and glistening seductively. How could he look so damn delectable even with food around his mouth? Leaning in, I brushed a kiss to those sexy lips and tasted the spicy oils left behind.
“Can I have a bite?” I asked, nibbling after the skewer teasingly.
“Only if you’re good,” he teased back, holding the skewer in front of my mouth.
“Always,” I grinned, taking a big bite. It was fucking amazing and a moan might’ve escaped me. We definitely needed more of those in the future, something I made sure to note down for the chefs.
We shared the rest of the food, each of us feeding the other and somehow our date ended perfectly even with all the drama. We’d both come (several times) and had ended the evening with amazing food. I couldn’t have hoped for a better evening with my mate.
And as we snuggled in bed, clean, fed, and sated, I felt immensely blessed that I got to have my omega for the rest of our lives.
“Are you sure this is right?” Ember asked, stepping out from our bathroom in his ceremony outfit. The jewels gleamed as he moved, the golden chains over his bare torso a perfect addition to his already beautiful chest. The chains hung from around his neck, trailing down into his satin skirt, the jewelry underneath it hidden. That part of the outfit was only for me to enjoy after he was welcomed into the royal family (officially). The chains were also connected to his biceps where teardrop gemstones hung, their blue shade a perfect match to my eyes. His skirt was a deep blue, matching my dragon andwowwas he a treat.
“It’s fucking perfect,” I rasped, needing to touch him. Once he was shown off, I would take him back to our rooms and fuck him in his outfit, leaving only the jewelry behind. The chain wrapped around his dick and his butt, and I couldn’t fucking wait to see it. His hole would be exposed, making it easy for me to take him without removing anything, even the skirt could be lifted offand—
“River?” my omega’s amused tone made me blink, returning to the present.
I cleared my throat. “I’m sorry, what did you say?”
He smirked, then turned to his side, lifting the skirt so I could see just a tease of his dick. “Does it look right?”
