“Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you in that if Whistler is trying to start a war or trying to duplicate some kind of experiments so that he can make an even bigger profit, I’m out.”
“So, we’re agreed: any goal other than helping these shapeshifters, should they exist, live an equal and peaceful co-existence, we’re out.”
“Agreed, but Whistler was insistent that the dragons are evil, and they are after the complete and utter subjugation of humans. He seems to think war is inevitable, and it’s just beyond the horizon.”
“Then we’ll have to get there first.”
Tevryn continued to gently pull as much information about what she’d seen and what Whistler had said so he could report back to Falkor. He knew that the circle of standing stones was only a marker to Dragonwyk, not the actual entrance. He found it fascinating how quickly her brain absorbed and processed information. He was fairly sure the Phantom Fire was going to come down on the side of the Resistance, and that Delaney would make an excellent analyst. She’d also be crucial in helping them rebuild if it came to a full-out war.
Whistler was right in that if war came, the shifters would prevail. What Tevryn knew was that the Shadow League and the Ruling Council’s days were numbered, and that most likely the Phantom Fire would rule in the interim until some kind of leadership structure could be worked out amongst all the surviving parties.
“Do you think we tell Lucy?” she asked.
He shook his head. “I don’t think we need to burden her with that. I think we need to go back to the Winds and see what we can find without Whistler breathing down our necks.”
“If there’s trouble coming, I don’t want Lucy left alone to fend for herself.”
“First, your big sister is every bit as capable as you are, so I wouldn’t be too concerned, but I can ask Warrick and Dani to keep an eye on her. What if we put one of those tracking apps on her phone? Then they can know where she is without being intrusive.”
Delaney gave him her best side eye. “And if I looked on my phone, would I find I already have one?”
“Not if you turn your back long enough for me to delete it.”
“Tevryn!”
“I know, but I was worried about you and your involvement with Whistler and not from a romantic standpoint. How about if we download the same one on my phone? That way you can keep track of me too.”
“You’d do that?”
He shrugged. “Sure. Why not? Who knows; it might come in handy, and like you, I have nothing to hide.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him. “You’d better be careful; I think I’m falling in love with you.”
“You need to catch up. I fell for you the night we met.”
Lucy phoned, and when Delaney ended the call, she said, “Lucy said she’d be home about the same time as yesterday. She’s going to pick up rolls and French butter. I’m kind of beat. What do you say we go take a shower and make love. It’s been more than two days, and we’ll take it slow and easy. I need you, Tevryn. I need to feel you inside me while you tell me everything is going to be all right.”
He led her into the bath and started up the steamy shower. He could get her in there and work on the remaining knots in her muscles. Oh, he’d give her at least one orgasm, if not more, and if he took one for himself it would be slow and gentle. She was his precious jewel, and everyone knew dragons hoarded and protected their jewels.
Tevryn helped her into the large shower and turned her so the water hit her body and her back was to his front. His cock was nestled in the cleft of her ass. He tilted her head back and brushed his lips along her jaw and down the side of her neck. He grabbed the soap and soft sea sponge and began to gently soap her body, working on the knots he found and getting them to unkink.
He wondered at the way she had become the center of his whole world in just a matter of days. He never believed in there being one woman or drakaina that could bind a man so tightly to her that he’d want no other. He’d been wrong. She was more beautiful, more intelligent, more sensual, and more in tune with him than anyone he’d ever met before. It was as if she’d become the light in the darkness that had surrounded him. She was his beacon, his home, his eternal flame.
Delaney leaned back into him, borrowing his strength and steadiness to supplement her own. The water from the body spray pelted against her skin. He noticed the water bouncing off her breasts and then saw that one of the jets had been aimed so that it would hit her clit. He reached down and changed its trajectory.
“Killjoy,” she said, but without any rancor. He was working on one of the muscles in her neck when it finally released. “Heaven. I’m in heaven.”
Her breath was soft and thready, and her nipples hard as rocks. He let the soapy sponge drift down between her legs, gliding over her clit and making her moan as she rocked her hips in rhythm to his attention. One thing about Delaney was that she liked physical displays of affection and seemed to like it when he played with her pussy, which was a good thing as he did, too, and intended to indulge himself often.
Delaney reached behind her, cupping his hips with her hands. Tevryn turned her around, hungry for her mouth. He hauled her body up to his, pressing her breasts into his chest. Her mouth opened and he allowed his tongue to tease and taste. There was no reticence, no question in her mind. She may not yet understand the nature of the eternal flame, but his soul called to hers and hers answered.
Tevryn leaned over her, turned off the water, and opened the shower door. He scooped her up, setting her down on the counter as he took warmed towels and began to dry her as she did the same for him. Once dry, he picked her up, took her to their bed, and laid her out on it. Without his asking, she bent her knees and spread her legs, giving him an unobstructed view of her ripe and glistening pussy. She was some kind of primal goddess, and he was the warrior about to take what was his.
“So beautiful,” he said as he covered her body with his, settling into the place that felt as if it had always been made for him.
Lining up his cock, he pressed in. He was large, but her body was soft, yielding and had been made for him. She was incredibly wet, but still so tight. Her eyes grew large, and she gasped a little as he forced his way in, her hands coming up to hold him close.
Being surrounded and inside of Delaney was paradise here on earth. He thrust home, plunging in and out over and over. Her nails dug into his flesh as she raked his back. He reveled in her response. Again and again, he thrust in, only to draw back and drive home once more. He stroked into her until her entire body went stiff and arched up into his as he ground into her, holding her hard against him as he pushed deep and began to empty his seed into her. There would come a time that seed would take root and her belly would swell with his child.
