A tiny gasp escaped her mouth, the sound sending my need into overdrive as I stared down at her naked body.
Without warning, my wings sprouted from the middle of my back, flaring out across the room, knocking over a lamp and butting up against the walls. The room wasn’t remotely big enough to contain their thirty-foot span.
Mariah stared at me, her mouth dropping open, but then she was reaching out gingerly, running a finger over the membrane of my wings. I shuddered, sensations I'd never felt before flaring up at her touch. My cock throbbed, and my dragon surged forth in my consciousness, demanding to claim our mate.
Mine.
Mariah averted her gaze afterward, then a mischievous glimmer shone in her eyes.
“Is this your dragon’s way of popping a boner?”
A loud guffaw filled the room as I processed her words, and then I was laughing so hard that I doubled over. This woman.
I shook my head and smirked. “I guess you could say that. You’re a very hard woman to resist, Mariah Bailey.”
“Then, don’t.”
A growl rumbled in my chest, and I wanted nothing more than to take her right then and there. But first I needed to do something about these wings.
It took supreme effort to get myself back under control. I had to close my eyes and focus just to retract my wings, and when I looked back at her, still sprawled before me on the bed, I nearly lost it once more.
She reached out and ran her hands down my chest, then went even lower. She made quick work of removing my pants, then I was crawling over her on the bed with nothing between us, exactly how I liked it best.
“I need you, Evan,” she breathed, her fingers gripping my cock as I hovered over her.
“You’re so fucking perfect.” I lowered my head, brushing a kiss over her lips, and while my dragon wanted to ravage and take, another part of me wanted to savor every second of this perfect night.
I stared into her eyes, settling between her legs, my cock resting right at her entrance. As our gazes locked, something passed between us: a connection, more intense than anything I’d ever felt before. It was as if I could sense her very soul calling out to mine. My love. My mate. The woman who’d come to mean everything to me.
She looked up at me then, and I wondered if she could feel it, too. It was the mate bond, weak and fragile, just beginning to blossom between us. I’d never experienced anything like it, and I marveled at the sensation. It made me want to claim her even more, to deepen that bond until our souls were entwined as one, connected in the most powerful way imaginable.
But I wouldn’t—not yet, anyway. Before she could question what was passing between us, I lowered my mouth to hers, kissing her softly. Sweetly. Cherishing this gorgeous woman and thanking fate for bringing her into my life.
I groaned when she brushed her fingers over my cock, teasing me, tempting me. I reached up and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, trailing my fingers over her cheek, across her lips, down her neck. I cupped her breast, squeezing gently before flicking my thumb over her hard nipple.
“I love you, Mariah,” I said in a gasp, the words not nearly enough to express what I felt.
“Then, show me.” She writhed beneath me, her wet pussy brushing my cock, and it was all I could do not to slam into her to the hilt.
But I did want to show her what she meant to me. I wanted to make love to her, to let her know she was everything I’d always dreamed of.
“I never knew how much I needed this,” I said. “How much I needed you.”
She swallowed, love shining brightly in her eyes. I brought my mouth to hers again, this time kissing her deeply, long and lingering, and there it was again, that connection which defied explanation. I could feel her love reflecting back on me as we kissed, Mariah clinging to my body as if our lives depended on it.
I pulled back, watching her in awe, our eyes locked as I finally slipped inside her. Mariah’s warmth welcomed me home as she wrapped her legs around mine, her hands coming to my cheeks. Did she feel this, too? This unmistakable connection? This joining of not just our bodies, but of our hearts, our souls?
I sighed in utter satisfaction as I stared down at my mate, feeling her tighten and contract around my cock. We moved together, pleasure coursing through as I made love to her. I knew I’d go to the ends of the earth for her, and that I’d give anything and everything for my mate.
Chapter 6
Mariah
Evan, Mason, and I stood in the terminal just on the other side of airport security. Time to return home, though we were going our separate ways. It was bittersweet saying goodbye to Mason. His commercial flight back to New York was about to depart, and part of me wished Evan and I were returning with him.
"Take care of yourself, man." Evan turned to Mason, embracing him tightly. "Don't work too hard at the clubs. Hopefully I'll be back soon enough."
That was as specific as he could be about our timeline, and I felt reality start to settle on my shoulders once more. This weekend away was amazing, a reprieve from the craziness in our lives. It might have been for a mission to get information, but it soon turned into the most spectacular getaway, and a sorely needed one.
