JULIAN
Malina leaped into my arms and wrapped her legs around my waist, weeping as she pressed her cheek to mine. I groaned as I kissed her soft face, then her sweet mouth, devouring her with insatiable, fevered nips and bites, skating my mouth along her jaw to her throat, pressing her body against the chamber wall, needing tofeelher.
Then I confessed my heart. “By Dis, I’m dying inside, Malina. Ineedyou.” I pulled the strap of her thin black tunic to the side and nipped, growling angrily that she was wearing his cloth, his color. “Weneed you.”
My dragon burned behind my eyes and in my blood as I pressedmy forehead to hers, my skin prickling, wanting to stretch and shift and carry her away. Anger and lust and love combatted for dominance as I fell to kissing her again, scraping my teeth on her skin, pulling her strap down farther until her breast slipped free. On a groan, I lowered my mouth and sucked the tight peak, scraping with my sharp teeth that had elongated without my will, needing to mark her, embed my scent in her.
Rather than beat me off, my firebird fisted her fingers in my short hair and pressed me closer, moaning and grinding her pussy against my abdomen. Her scent had me reeling, groaning.
“Yes, yes,” she crooned, “taste me, please, bite me,yes.”
My dragon purred at her desperate cries for more, my hands shoving up her tunic, my fingers finding her slick center before I slid a finger inside her.
“Gods!” she cried as lightning crashed and thunder boomed overhead.
“I need you.Fuck,I need you,” I growled repeatedly like a mantra, a plea, a prayer.
“Shh,” she whispered against my mouth, reaching down between us and pulling up my tunic until she could wrap her hand around my hard cock.
“Malina,” I begged, my entire body trembling with desperate want. I thrust into her hand, pulling my finger from inside her to grip her bottom and lower her.
“Shh,” she breathed softly again, her mouth sliding open as she notched the head of my cock at her quim.
With a feral grunt, I thrust deep to the hilt, shivering at the sweet tightness of her body taking me all the way in. “Yes, my love.”
She gasped, dropping her head to the wall, baring her neck for me.
I kept still, the raging storm outside mimicking the one inside me, mocking the rage of emotions tearing me apart. I had her. In this moment, she was mine. But it was a fleeting, stinging moment, knowing I’d have to let her go again.
“Gods above and below,” I rasped into the silken skin of her throat, “you are fuckingmine,Malina.”
I slid out to the tip and thrust deep inside her again, pounding her against the stone wall. She didn’t seem to mind, whimpering with pleasure at my roughness.
“Mine,”I growled again and licked her skin.
She kept her fingers fisted in my hair, her blunt nails scraping my skull as she lowered her chin and leveled those hauntingly beautiful green eyes at me.
“As you are mine,” she breathed on a whisper. “Now show me that I am.”
Squeezing her flesh, I pressed her against the wall and pumped deep, over and over, driving inside her sweet body, her slick pussy. She locked her ankles at my back and pulled my hair till it stung. We seemed to both need to mark each other, to remember and know this was real. No matter where we were when we parted, we belonged to each other and no one else.
I lifted one hand, my body pinning her to the wall, and sank my fingers into her hair, beneath her braid, gripping her skull in my palm.
“I feel you, my love,” I grated against her lips, while tears slipped down her cheeks. “I feel all of you.”
I pumped faster, my soul drifting into hers in an ecstasy of passion I had never known. Nor would I ever know again. My firebird was my end and beginning. No joy could surpass this belonging, this bond winding us into each other.
“Yes,” she whispered on a sob, “I feel it too, Julian.”
She moaned so sweetly, so exquisitely. Then she was coming, her pussy squeezing my cock. I groaned as she leaned forward and bit the bare skin above my collar, screaming into my flesh as she climaxed.
“Yes,” I hissed, fucking her hard and deep, our flesh slapping. I couldn’t stop as she shook and trembled in my arms, needing to bury my cock deeper and deeper.
The dragon roared inside me, his growl vibrating out of my belly as my cock swelled bigger. Then I speared her hard and spent my seed, rumbling my pleasure as I released inside her.
She unlatched her mouth from my shoulder, shuddering and panting, her sex still throbbing with her orgasm as she tilted her head to nuzzle her nose against mine. Her voice a pained whimper as she whispered, “I love you.”
I kissed the tears that wet her cheeks, my heart bursting at her admission, the storm overhead seeming to diminish and drift away. “Don’t cry, love,” I begged, sliding my nose alongside hers, grinding my cock deeper while it still pulsed. “You’re breaking my heart.”
