He raised his head to look at her before his hand tugged on one fabric covered nipple.
“How many times can I tell you how beautiful you are and how much I want you before you get tired of hearing it?”
“I’ll never get tired of hearing it.” Her hand went to his hair allowing her fingers to flow through it. Tell me every day Maceo that you love me and want me. Tell me every hour if possible. I’ll never be tired of hearing that the special male in my life thinks I’m special too. Her heart whispered to his.
He stood and pulled her back into his arms kissing her before he smacked her rear. She gave him a sexy smile and moved towards the bed reaching behind her she unhooked her bra before she did a shimmy to take off her panties. Then she crawled on the bed looking over her shoulder with a come hither look.
He had his boxers off faster than she could track and was on the bed with her tugging at her making her laugh.
“Somebody hungry for me?” She whispered feeling her inner diva come out to play.
“Starving.”
She leaned up and pushed him down on his back it was her time to learn his body. She started by placing small bites on his shoulder before she leaned over and licked him. A small hum came out at the taste of him. She kissed her way down his body taking the time to make sure her hands were caressing as much of him as possible. When she made it to his chest, she kissed him where his breast bones met before allowing her hands to trace over his pecs then settling close to his nipples.
Leaning up she licked one of his nipples and then blew on it. His indrawn breath fascinated her, so she licked his nipple again before taking it into her mouth. She sucked on him while his hands made it down her back playing with her. The sensuous feel of the pads of his fingertips drawing slow circles on her back was making her cramp with need.
“Maceo.” His name came out on a long moan.
“If you can give it you better know how to take it.” His voice was husky touching her in her secret places.
She lifted up so her hard nipples could rub against his chest. She squeezed her legs together wanting what she knew he could give her.
“You’re a tease dragon mate,” he whispered as his body slid down low enough for him to take one of her nipples into his mouth.
She moved to throw a leg over him feeling herself rub against his lower body. Moisture coated him as she let out a gasp of need. He brought a finger down to play with the folds of her pussy drawing a high keening sound out of her.
“Not yet baby,” he said moving to her other breast.
He was going to make her crazy she wanted him so much. She rolled over taking him with her. He gave her a sexy smile that said he was letting her think she was in charge and that turned her on even more.
His head lifted, and her nipple made a sound as it came out of his mouth. Sexy dragon, he was turning her on with little moves that she couldn’t remember experiencing before. His hand moved over her stomach as she explored his. He winked at her when his hands dropped to her clit. She shivered as his fingers teased her.
Her hand went down and closed over this thick cock and squeezed. That husky, sexy sound he made was enough for her to lose any cool she had around him.
“Sexy dragon mate,” he whispered into her ear as he disappeared behind her.
“What are you doing?” His lips were on the back of her neck, and his fingers were playing with a nipple as his body closed in on her.
She could feel the heat of his body against her back, and her breath came out in shallow pants as she wondered what he was going to be. In the past, she had always been so careful when having sex. No adventures, no trying new things because she had always felt a little scared that big girls weren’t supposed to have all the joys of sex. She knew better, but…it was just ingrained from smaller females making vicious comments and men saying she was too big for certain positions.
She felt his hand move her top leg a little before she felt his thick cock rub up against her pussy. Please, she thought she wanted this moment with Maceo. It would be her first time like this, and she wanted to do it with him. She wanted all her future firsts to be with him.
He rubbed his cock over her making her hotter, hungrier for the experience he promised her.
“I’m going to make love to you Nadia, fill you with my thick cock and make you come all over me.”
“Yes, please yes.” She felt him as he stroked the folds of her pussy going a little deeper each time until his cock was right there.
His hips moved lodging the head of his cock inside of her. She let out a sound encouraging him. He thrust, and she felt herself open wide as he filled her. A high pitched sound came from her.
“Hold on baby.” He withdrew and thrust back in as one of his hands pinched her nipple, and his teeth bit her shoulder.
Hell yeah, she met him thrust for thrust. Her body tingled in anticipation of his next thrust.
He pistoned his hips moving faster as the butterflies in her stomach gave way to waves of pleasure.
“Maceo,” she called out knowing she couldn’t hold on much longer.
“Come for me baby.” Another deep stroke had her going over the edge.
She gave a loud yell as she fell off the side of the balcony and soared high on the back of his dragon. She could become seriously addicted to this she thought as she felt him spill inside of her. Seriously addicted.
Chapter Twenty-one
Nadia woke up happy. A smile covered her face as she turned over to look at Maceo. The smile turned to a frown as she looked at his body. One touch was enough to tell her that his body temperature was low. The male could heat an entire city with the heat he gave off but not right now.
“Maceo?” She shook him trying not to be too rough, but he needed to wake up. “Please love wake up.”
Nothing she put her head to his heart listening for the sound of it. “Please don’t be dead,” she whispered to herself.
It was faint, but it was there she jumped up and went to her cell phone she would call Alexa, Syn would know what to do. No bars, no signal. She almost threw it across the room before she sat it down and backed away from it. Where were his keys? She could take his jeep to their mountain and get help. If she stood on the balcony and waved her arms would Syn be able to see her? She ran in that direction then backtracked to get her robe.
That’s when she heard the sound of the doorbell. Maceo had made sure she knew what it was in case she was ever in the mountain alone. She went over to the camera to see Jillian standing there or one of her identical sisters. It didn’t matter she tied the sash tighter and went downstairs to get some help. The elevator felt like it was moving slow and when she finally reached the first floor, she ran across it in bare feet. To be on a tropical island the floor of their mountain was rather cool.
“Jillian?” she asked as she opened the door.
“Nope she lost the coin toss, and I wanted to meet you. I’m Tabitha.” She stretched out her hand to shake Nadia’s
“You look just like her.”
“Thank you.”
“I need help. Do you have a phone that works? Maceo needs a doctor. He’s cold and won’t wake up, and I don’t know what to do. We can call Syn I’m sure he knows what to do.” She spoke so fast that she forgot to take breathes.
“Syn can’t help him and neither can a doctor. Only you can do that, but first, you have to be in control of your power.”
“Wait…what? I thought I was supposed to have lessons to learn how to deal with it.”
“Consider this your first lesson. Either you control your power of your mate dies. End of lesson.” She turned to walk away. “Hey, it was great to meet you and think ruby.”
“Wait!” She ran towards her car. “You can’t leave me. You have to help me.”
“Every second you delay he gets a second closer to death.”
This was crazy; she was crazy. Why was she here? Turning, she ran back into the mountain pushing the button to the elevator. All you have t
o do is control the crazy power that wants to take over your body and make you into its slave. If you don’t control it, the male you’ve come to love will die.
Wait, backup who said anything about love? She walked a little slower when she got off the elevator afraid she’d walk into a wall with that revelation moving around in her mind. She loved Maceo. When had it happened? Did he suspect? Did it matter if she couldn’t save his life? Right, back to the important things.
What was she supposed to do now? She walked over to the bed and curled up next to him trying to impart some of her heat to him. This time she pictured the portal to her power, but she took her time walking through making a note of everything. She needed any extra edge she could get. The kitchen was nice and clean sparkling; it called out to her. Stop for a while spend some time in me. Her dream kitchen for her dream home. One that she knew was never going to happen.
Her hands touched the counters, and she smiled. Her eyes glazed over as she thought of the dishes she could make in here. The things she could do. The more she walked around the kitchen the reason for her visit disappeared. Recipes came to mind, as she walked towards the fridge the desire to cook overwhelmed her. Inside was the ingredients for Beef Wellington. Why did she feel an urge to cook that specific meal? A steak would do.
A whisper of a deep voice niggled in the back of her mind putting in his dinner request. She stopped unable to move. What was happening? Her dreams collided with her desperation waking her from the trance that had her trapped. A voice she never heard before was trying to seduce her. Was it feminine? She couldn’t be sure, but she threw a shield up against it. She ignored the kitchen as she decided that hints of gray were more her style.
Her hand went out to touch the door a spark made her jump back. Someone didn’t want her in that room. That was all the more reason for her to defeat whoever was coming after her.
“You should have died when the tree fell.”
Her bottom lip rose in a defiant smile. There was someone on the island that was working against her, working against the dragons.
“I’ll find you. I don’t care how deep your cover is or how long it takes. You touched my mate, hurt him, and I will find you.” It was with defiance that she stuck her hand out to grab onto the knob. No one would be stopping her.
Darn it; she was a force of nature. A laugh escaped her because it was either laugh or cry. The room no longer reminded her of a freezer. Instead, it was a long dark ally, reminding her of the one that used to reside behind her business. She was never all that happy to take the trash out when the restaurant closed.
“So you want to play?” Normally this would scare her, but all she could see was Maceo’s cold body on the bed. She was convinced if she didn’t help him he would die. The visit from the Oracle wasn’t helping. She walked past the spot where her business used to reside. It was a burned-out shell of a building now. Movement in the corner of her eye made her stop. Something was inside.
Her stomach dropped at the thought of going inside the building even if it was only her thoughts of what it was like inside. This was where some of her greatest triumphs happened as well as her lowest lows. Once she found this place she worked night and day gathering the money to buy it. She had been so sure that this place would be her haven. Lifting a foot, she crossed the threshold.
It was dark and dingy inside, the floor and the walls reeked with the smell of smoke and day old water.
“I thought this place would be my legacy,” she talked as she walked in. “I was wrong. It was simply a stepping stone to something better. I’ll never regret this time and what I learned.”
There was an orange glow in the corner tempting her to reach out but she could see that part of the floor was missing.
“There was a time in my life when I was upset, mad, pissed off. Think of it however you want to, but that’s where I was. Why? Because nothing was working out like I thought it should.”
She walked over and placed her hands on the counter before she jumped up.
“Life seemed unfair. Do you understand? I bet you do because your part of me. You’re upset because I should have acknowledged you sooner even though I didn’t know you existed. I get it. You have every right to your feelings, but you don’t have a right to my body.”
Her power charged her making her jump down from the counter to get out of its way. She moved back, and it flew into her taking her through the busted floor. They were beside a river that was dark and snaked with turns that looked deadly.
Her power flew at her, and Nadia ran looking for a place to make her stand. She could feel the beat of her heart that seemed to be keeping time with her pounding feet. For a minute she wondered why she wasn’t curled up on a couch somewhere, then she remembered because her mate was in trouble. Her mate, she’d think about that soon right now she needed power.
This was as good as it was going to get. She had been herded into a corner with no place left to run. Behind her were huge boulders that she wasn’t planning on climbing. On her left was the river and on her right was a wall. She had just enough space to make her last stand.
“Here’s how it works. Only one of us walks out of here. Either we become one or I die, and you will have a minute of glorious victory before you die with me.”
The space around her lit up like fireworks as her power came for her. She reached inside of herself and raised a shield. It bounced off her and became an angry orange. It flew at her head, and she pulled out a long thin line of the power within her and used it like a bat hitting it away from her.
The color changed again becoming a dark blue. Nadia turned and began to climb the boulders; her feet slipped, and her hands were being cut on the sharp edges, and still she climbed. When the power came at her, she jumped like Maceo was there to catch her. She ended up on her knees, and she was going to ache tomorrow, but she had escaped for the minute.
“Maybe we can talk about this?” She was backing up towards the river. One look over her shoulder told her she didn’t want to fall into it. Her power came at her stopping right before it touched her but knocking her off balance. She flew backward into the dark water.
She was a good swimmer, but the current was fast moving, and she doubted her ability to hold her breath in it, but she was going to give it everything she had. The water raced around her pulling her under making her panic as she tried to kick her feet and move her arms. The more she struggled the faster she seemed to sink.
One thousand one, one thousand two. How long could she hold her breath? How long did it take to die? Sorry Maceo, everything she had tried had been for nothing. She felt the water trying to collapse her chest just as a flash of red caught her eyes. Not red, ruby. Her arms stretched out allowing her fingers to clutch at it. Thanks, Oracles she thought as her hand closed around it. At least I get my ruby before I die. She pulled at it until the mud released its prize. Her hand moved swiftly and plunged it deep into her heart.
Pick ruby. Why had she ever listened to the Oracles?
Chapter Twenty-two
She opened her eyes to find herself in bed with Maceo her body was humming with power. What happened to her? The last thing she remembered was the ruby spear being plunged into her heart by her hand. Refusing to run to the bathroom to look at herself she checked on Maceo. He was still alive but seemed colder than before.
What was she supposed to do now?
“Maceo, rise.” She placed her hands on him nothing. Then she ran her hands all over his body trying to channel her warmth into him nothing.
Not caring what anyone would think she got up and dropped the robe hurrying to the bathroom. She needed that full-length mirror tucked behind the door. Was she the same? She looked the same maybe she failed. Then how had she lived? It was real, right?
If she had failed why were her brown eyes glowing ruby.
Power like everything else is subjective, and there are times when the things in your body will try and kill you. The orange wanted you dead. I’ve been purging our
body since we joined.
Purging? She took a sniff of herself and wrinkled her nose. She needed a shower, and she’d take one unless maybe her funk was what was needed to wake Maceo.
“Do you how to heal Maceo?”
You don’t have to speak out loud. Just think it, and I will hear. You have to figure that one out. All I know is we have to connect with him.
Connect how? She watched as her power traveled through her body still purging it. Within it, she could feel the mini wars as it fought on her behalf. Since she had taken the orange within her thinking, it was her power she would have to destroy its strongholds within her. Ruby who knew?
Leaving her power to do its job she walked back into the bedroom to look at Maceo, he was dying she didn’t need to be a doctor to figure that one out.
“I don’t want to live in any world that doesn’t have you in it.”
She laid next to him pulling and tugging his body until she got him on his side. Then she wrapped her body around him.
“They tell me that I’m the only one that can heal you, but they don’t tell me how.” She held onto him fiercely. “This might not be so hard if I didn’t love you, but I do.”
A tear made its way down her face because the idea of living without him was more than she could take. Leaning over she kissed him before she could pull away a hand grabbed her pulling at her.
She landed on her behind but Maceo was standing next to her so she would take it. He leaned down and helped her up. Wherever they were was dark. There was nothing to see and nothing to do.
“Maceo, I was so scared. Where are we?”
“I don’t know. All I remembered is that I missed you and then you were here.”
“Where’s your dragon? Did you try to fly out?”
His hand indicated a spot beside him. She could see his dragon only because he was struggling to break free. There were other questions to ask instead she threw herself into his arms. She needed to hold him and feel him holding her. Together they would find a way out.
