Her eyes, still dazed, met mine. I waited till I knew she was seeing me, held her gaze for a moment – and jumped.
Chapter Thirteen
Melisandre
Drayke! Did you see that? I did it! I did what you asked. It was incredible!
All those thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant as I met his eyes. I opened my mouth to speak – and he was gone. Vanished.
I didn’t stop to think. Didn’t have time for questions or doubts. With a surge of adrenaline powering it, I sent a bolt of pure light hurtling down after him.
A quarter of a second later, reason returned. I rushed to the balustrade, leaned over it with my heart pounding in fear. When I looked down, my legs gave way. I collapsed in a heap, trembling all over.
I was still there when he lifted one foot over the railing and hauled himself back onto the balcony.
“See,” he said, with a self-satisfied grin. “I knew you could do it.”
I leaped to my feet and pummeled him with both fists. “You…youbastard! You idiot! Are you out of your mind? What if you were wrong and I couldn’t do it? I’ve never been so terrified in my life as I was when I peeked over the railing. I thought I’d see you lying there in a lifeless heap, drenched in blood.”
He caught my fists, brought them to his mouth, and kissed them. “My heart is moved by your concern, my lady. But I had more confidence in you than you did. Once you harnessed the power, I knew you could do it again. I had to act fast, though, or you’d have started to doubt that what you did was real. Trust me. I’ve been there.”
His dragon shifting. I humored him earlier, went along with the delusion when he spoke of the pain of it morphing into a rush of unimaginable power. But I’d just done something impossible. He’d proven I had the ability to summon a force that defied the laws of the Universe as I knew it. Could his power be real, too?
Suddenly, I was aware of our nakedness. My breasts heaving against his bare chest. His hands gripping mine, drawing our bodies together. My body still hummed with a powerful current of energy. I was tingling all over, every nerve screaming to release it. Mindless and frantic, I acted on an age-old instinct. One no doubt bred into us in prehistoric times to insure the survival of the species after we’d faced danger. I got on tiptoe, sliding my body up slowly and deliberately for maximum contact, and pressed my mouth against his.
He let go of my fists. Grabbed the back of my head with one hand and crushed my lips with a ferocity I’d never experienced. I melted against him, surrendered to his passion. Letting him take me to a place I’d never been.
His other hand slid down my back. Cupping my ass, he lifted me off my feet. His cock, already hot and hard again, ground against my belly. He lifted me higher, and it slipped between my thighs, burying the head within the tight folds of my pussy.
I moaned and wound my legs around his waist. He pumped once, driving the length into me. I was tender and sore from our first coupling, but it didn’t matter. I wanted him,neededhim, deep inside me.
Drayke held my bottom with both hands and walked back into the bedroom, his cock massaging my pussy with every step. Stroking a spot on the inner wall that made me quiver. Had his mouth not been covering mine, I’d have screamed loud enough to wake the whole palace. Instead, I moaned again, squeezing the muscles of my channel around him.
He made a low rumbling noise deep in his chest and threw himself down on the bed with me atop him. But he wasn’t about to leave me in a position of dominance. In one swift move, he rolled me over and rammed his cock deep inside.
I met his thrusts, digging my heels into his ass. My orgasm didn’t build slowly, the way it had earlier. Instead, it attacked with the same ferocity Drayke did. An explosion went off inside me, followed by another, then another, as if the power of all the stars in the heavens had been buried within me, ready to be set free. I clawed at his back, and still he went on. Pistoning in and out until I ceased to exist. Became one with the pure energy of the Universe.
My pussy spasmed over and over, clenching around his cock. He tensed, then I felt it spurting. The heat of his seed ignited one last cataclysm. Shattered my fragile bond with reality. Set free, I soared away into the heavens.
The first soft fingers of dawn crept over the horizon as I opened my eyes.
Drayke gently brushed a wisp of hair off my brow and kissed my forehead. I was surprised to find myself still nestled in his arms.
“Dear Goddess! What did you do to me?”
He grinned. “I could ask you the same, my lady. When I asked you to harness your power, I never dreamed you’d turn the full force of it on me!”
It may have been the last dregs of adrenaline pumping through me. Or perhaps the aftereffect of the orgasms that rocked me to my core. Whatever the reason, I started to giggle. The giggle turned into a snicker then a full-blown belly laugh, with tears flowing from my eyes.
“And what’s so funny?”
“Oh, if you’d only seen the look on your face…” That was all I managed to get out before another burst of laughter seized me. “When you…found yourself…hovering in the air just inches above the paving stones,” I finished breathlessly.
“So you found that humorous, did you?” He tried to put a stern tone in his voice, but I could see the amusement in his eyes. “I, on the other hand, did not. Next time, I humbly request that you not wait so damn long before coming to my rescue.”
That set me off again. He stopped my peal of laughter with a swift smack to my naked bottom. “Careful, my lady. You’re in a very compromising position here.”
“You dare to lay a hand on your queen?” I pretended outrage.
