“Spirit reflection?” She repeats. “I’ve never done this before. I had no idea a dragon was involved.” She knits her brows and looks away shyly. “I’ve said too much.”
My spirit dragon snorts and licks its lips in anticipation. He tilts his head and studies Blaise. He too can sense our soul match on the inside of her.
“Dragons aren’t always involved,” I explain, trying to keep the humor out of my voice. “Where I’m from our spirit reflection forms according to our power. It’s like our spirit animal. Mine happens to be a dragon.”
“Oh.”
“Come, he would never hurt you.”
I take her hand in mine and lead her over to my dragon. He lowers his head as if bowing. I smile as Blaise turns to me then looks back at him.
The awe on her face makes her so much more beautiful. Again, I note the innocence I’ve sensed from her. When she reaches out to rub the dragon, she pauses and looks over her shoulder at me.
I brush my fingertips against her cheek as I grin. She gives a little smile. I cover her hand with mine and press our joined hands to my spirit dragon’s scales.
She giggles as he snorts and licks her shoulder. I frown at him. His mate is on the inside of Blaise, this part of her is all mine.
He looks me in the eyes, knowing my thoughts. He huffs and turns away. A tingle rises in my spine. It’s my spirit dragon urging me to take her.
“Take her. Free my mate.” My frown deepens. While I want to release her spirit reflection, I’m not entirely sure claiming her will release it. “I don’t care. Try.”
The need to try consumes me. I press my front to her back allowing my cock to throb against her plump backside. Reaching around her with my free hand, I palm her pussy. She links the fingers of our hands against my spirit dragon.
“I will show you pleasure, Blaise. Pleasure like you’ve never known,” I say and kiss her shoulder.
She moans, pulling our joined hands from my dragon. She parts her legs for me and I take the invitation. Sliding my fingers over her folds, I find them slick.
“Argon,” she cries. It’s a plea I won’t deny.
I push my fingers into her and work to bring her to climax. With our hands still laced together, I wrap my arm across her breasts. Her palm covers her heavy mound and I cause her to knead her own flesh.
Her temperature heats as I bring her closer to her peak. Her cries get louder by the second. I lick her shoulder and relish in her sweet flavor on my tongue.
She comes so hard, she collapses within my embrace. I smile and lift her into my arms. My dragon dips his head for me to step onto his snout. With Blaise in my arms, I stand firm and he backs out of the room onto the balcony.
Once outside, he places us both on his back. I settle Blaise onto his back gently. As I take her lips to kiss her, my spirit dragon takes off and bursts into the air.
Blaise gasps into my mouth. I break the kiss and smile down at her. Brushing a lock of windblown hair from her face I peck her nose.
As powerful as I know her to be, it warms my heart to see her give over so much trust and control to me. Blaise could probably slay us both and land on her feet. However, the trust in her gaze says a million words.
“He’s a part of me. We are safe on his back. We are bound to each other. We won’t fall off unless he allows it,” I explain.
“What if he decides to allow it?”
“Then he has a reason and he will catch us. You’re precious to him. He won’t let harm come to you.”
With that, I kiss her again. This time she holds me close. She wraps her legs around me, allowing her heels to dig into my ass as her heat burns into me.
“Do it.” My spirit dragon commands.
I bite down on Blaise’s lip as I enter her. For the first time in I don’t know how long, I feel the full force of my powers coursing through me. Blaise cries out and locks her legs tighter around me.
Her plush body receives me as if we’re old friends. Her tight pussy sucks me in deep. I groan and roll my eyes in my head.
“Argon, oh gods, Argon,” she pants.
I haven’t even started. She feels so good. I have to find my sanity to please us both before I pound into her and lose myself inside her warmth.
I lift to my knees and grasp her calves. Pushing her legs into her body and spreading them wide, I drive in and out of her warm, wet pussy. I lock eyes with her and find the fire that burns within hers.
“Come for me.”
She licks her lips and nods. It only takes a second before her juices gush around me. I pull out and lower to my belly for a taste. Her screams are more than satisfying.
Yet my dragon is getting pissed. Her spirit reflection hasn’t released. I can sense his determination as he shifts in the air and starts to fly upward.
I ignore him and continue to devour her sweet pussy. I drink her up and shove two fingers inside her to bring her to another climax. I place a hand over her pounding heart and grin.
“Let go, sweetheart. Come for me, my Blaise.”
Blaise
I don’t know if it’s his words, the feel of him eating my pussy, or flying up through the sky that has my body obeying his command, but I come and I come hard. He grunts into my core and lifts to thrust back into me.
His large, thick length stretches me until I want to cross my eyes and scream. My heart is beating so fast. There’s a pulling on the inside of me, but I hold onto it not sure I should release whatever it is clawing at me.
“Blaise give it to me,” Argon demands.
It’s as if he knows I’m holding back something from him. He lifts a leg, planting his heel on his dragon’s back. Again he pins my legs back by my calves. His fingers flexing against my skin as he dives into my heat.
It feels so good. I cry out as I lose grip on my restraint. It’s like he’s splitting me in two. I grab his wrists and double down on the hold I have on my control of myself.
I look down at the connection between us and it’s so sexy. His pale flesh continues to move in and out of me, while my brown skin invites him in. He’s thrusting down into my body with strokes of possession. The more he thrusts the more I want him.
I lift my gaze to his and find those blue-gray eyes fixed on my face. I blush, but I don’t turn away. There’s something in his eyes that arrests me.
“Oh gods, please,” I beg.
“Let go for me. Stop holding back.”
I can’t let go. It feels too strange. However, I do come again.
The dragon releases a loud roar. It vibrates through his body and shakes us. Without warning, he dives for the ground below spiraling as he goes.
Argon is unfazed. He cups my throat and squeezes as his eyes stay on mine. My body won’t stop convulsing. I’m coming rapidly and repeatedly as he continues to plow into me.
I can’t hold on anymore. Between the rapid plummet to the ground, the chokehold on my neck and the feel of Argon’s massive shaft inside me, I lose the hold I have on whatever is pulling from me.
As I feel like I’m leaving my body, I climax one long, hard final time. Argon leans over my body and kisses me hard. His dragon roars again as if in triumph.
Argon releases inside me as I wrap around his body and hold him close. It’s not until he begins to swell inside me again that I realize we’re floating through the air.
We’re no longer on his dragon’s back. We’re just free falling as he kisses me with so much passion my toes curl. I claw at his back as a mix of ecstasy and panic take ahold of me.
He breaks the kiss and I look at him wildly. “Trust him.”
Argon
A see the alarm in her eyes, but there’s no need for it. I groan as her nails dig into my flesh. Grabbing two hands full of her ass, I slowly guide her up and down my shaft.
I know my spirit reflection won’t allow us to hit the ground. He’s just greeting his soul match. Blaise still doesn’t understand what she has just released.
My heart aches as I begin to think of
the illusion this all is. Wanting to feel this forever, I turn our bodies so our feet face the land coming up beneath us. I bring her down harder onto my shaft.
She throws her head back and releases a loud cry into the air. We come together this time. As our bodies are overcome with our release, my spirit dragon swoops in and catches us.
I kiss Blaise’s forehead. “See. I told you. Trust,” I say before I pass out along with the beauty in my arms.
Chapter 11
I Release You
Argon
I look at the scratches on my back in the mirror. That wasn’t a dream or hallucination last night. It was very real.
I don’t know how to feel about that. I don’t understand how this is happening. I shake my head to clear it.
The passion between us was enough to set its own fire. I can still feel the tingling in my spine and the fire in my chest. I’ve never experienced anything like it. But it was with a woman that’s not a woman in my waking hours.
I smile as I think of Blaise during our walks. She does tend to trip over her hooves as if her feet would turn in if they weren’t hooves. Pigeon toed, that’s what I’ve read that humans once called it.
It’s odd, because she’s so graceful in battle. We’ve sparred together a few times. She’s a fierce warrior. No, she’s not always clumsy at all. It’s more like she trips herself up when she’s nervous or excited. It can be quite adorable and endearing.
“Well damn. What happened to you?”
“Hello, Dinesh,” I say without turning.
I’m becoming used to him and his antics. It’s quite amusing at times. I cover myself and pull my hair back in a tie.
“Blaise has requested to see you. Wait, what happened to your back?”
I turn to face him. “It’s nothing. Is she all right?”
He eyes me warily for a moment. I get that he’s very protective of Blaise. All of her little friends are.
Still I grow impatient waiting for his reply. “The princess means the world to me. Don’t you hurt her,” he says tightly.
Princess? I don’t point out his slip. Although it brings to mind the near slips my first day here. The Lady Blaise is a princess.
I get the feeling there are so many other secrets I want to find out about her. I itch to gain all the knowledge I can. My spirit roars to know what I’m missing about my soul match.
“I would never hurt her. I could never.”
“Um, sure.” He rolls his eyes at me. “Let’s go. I think this is important.”
He doesn’t have to say another word. The thought of something being wrong with Blaise has my feet in motion. I try to will my way to her but my power is nowhere near as strong as it was last night.
Frustrated, I pick up the pace. Our spirit link requires I be near her as soon as possible. Although, I still question everything—including my feelings for a half woman, half beast. I have no doubt that she has become my soul match.
Father and the nobles are not going to like this.
Blaise
I stare at the rose beneath the glass and let another tear roll down my cheek. Two more petals fall and turn to ashes before they can even hit the surface beneath them. Time is running out.
These dreams are confusing me. They are full of passion and lust, but those are not love. Not to mention, they are dreams.
I need Argon to fall in love with me in real life. Not in my fantasies. And now, I will never have that chance.
“Blaise,” he says as he moves to stand behind me. I close my eyes as he places a hand on my waist. My skin heats and tingles run up my side. “What is it?”
I’m too choked up to say a word. I conjure a sphere to appear beside us. When the image in the orb appears, I feel him stiffen.
His hand falls away from my waist and he steps toward the orb. I turn to watch him as he watches the image. His father lies in a bed looking ill.
His skin is pale and his body is thin. He looks worse than when he was here. I have so much sorrow as I take in the image for myself.
“Argon,” his father says weakly. “You must find my son.”
Argon turns his head away from the orb. His head is bowed and his body is full of tension. I lift a hand to reach out to him, but drop it.
“I had only wanted to surprise you with a view of your home. When I summoned the image for myself, I found this. I swear to you, this isn’t my doing. He should have been well upon returning to your home.”
Argon vibrates with silent rage. His hands spark with magic at his fingertips. Not as bright as the day he arrived.
His magic has been made too dormant for that. I drop my head in shame. I know this wasn’t from my magic or the castle’s, but if I didn’t keep Argon here, he would be home to protect his father, to care for him.
“I’m releasing you,” I murmur. “You can go and help him. Your blood still holds my venom. I can sense it. It’s enough to heal him. He just needs a few drops from you.”
Argon spins to face me. I’m thrown by the indecision I see in his eyes. A war plays across his face.
“I—He’s unwell. I must go.”
“I know. That’s why I’m releasing you. Your powers will restore themselves once you’re away from here. It will strengthen my venom in your blood. That will help.”
“Blaise…” He pauses and looks away from me.
I give him a wobbly smile. “It’s fine. I just ask that you leave at nightfall. It’s the safest time for me to send you through. I will open the portal for you. My chariot will get you there safely.”
He nods and swallows. “I will go to see to my father’s health and then I will return to serve my time.”
“No, you don’t have to. Don’t make promises you won’t keep. You have a people that count on you. You will be king some day just as you told me.”
“Blaise—”
“I’ve enjoyed your company. You will never know what your friendship has meant.”
“Blaise, I’m a man of my word. I will return.”
“It will be too late, Argon. I don’t want you to return. I won’t be here. Not like this.” I choke off a sob. “The one you’ve grown to know will no longer exist.”
“What does that mean?”
“Nothing, nothing at all,” I reply and turn to leave.
“Blaise, Blaise,” his voice thunders after me, but I can’t stand to look at him a second longer.
That dream last night changed something for me. I’m in love with Argon and I will ache to the depths of my soul when he leaves me. I have learned to love, but I have failed to gain his love in return.
When the sound of his heavy footfalls begin to follow after me, I phase to the roof of the castle. I sit perched on top of my home as he bellows through the halls in search of me. It’s better this way.
Chapter 12
Don’t Forget Me
Argon
I’ve been trying to will myself into one of those hallucinations. I haven’t seen Blaise since she ran from me, or should I say vanished on me. I need to see her.
I pick up a book from my side table. If I can’t will the vision to happen on my own, I’ll try the way it’s been happening. My anger grows as I go through several chapters and nothing happens.
I get ready to snap the book shut and set it on fire when my vision begins to finally blur. In the blink of an eye I’m standing before Blaise. She has her back to me as she looks over the balcony into the dark night.
“You can leave. The chariot awaits you at the front of the castle,” she says softly.
“Why have you hidden from me?”
“It’s better this way.”
I wrap my arms around her waist and my spirit reflection roars for her. I calm him by burying my face into her hair. It has been returned to its wild curls from the first time I saw her.
“Better for who? I didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye.”
“You have said it. Now you should go.”
I brush her hair from her neck and
dip to kiss her soft skin. “I have yet to say goodbye,” I murmur against her flesh and palm her breasts.
“Argon,” she says breathlessly.
“I love the way you say my name.” She shivers. “I shall return Blaise. I will keep my word.”
I turn her face to me to cover her lips before she can protest. Deepening the kiss, I knead her full breasts. I ache to have her once more and my spirit link demands I do so.
She combs her hands into my hair as I savor her sweet mouth. I growl when she bites at my lip. A smile comes to her lips, but I can feel that it’s a small cautious one.
“I will remember this always,” she says softly.
“Then I will make it a memory never to be forgotten.”
I tear the back of her corset open and fling it over the balcony. Her pants are the next thing I tear free and discard. The little panties on her full ass cause my cock to swell.
I lift her into my arms and carry her to the large bed inside. I gently place her in the center of the bed and begin to descend her body. I don’t want to rush this.
Lifting her foot to my mouth, I kiss her cute toes. Her cheeks glow and she looks away. Stroking my fingertips lightly up her calf brings her attention back to me.
“You are beautiful, Blaise. In this world and in the one we wake in. Don’t be ashamed to allow me to worship that beauty,” I murmur against the pad of her foot.
“Would you so easily kiss a hoof?”
“If it belongs to you. I think I would,” I admit to my own surprise.
“Again, promises you would never keep.”
I move quickly to take her lips and kiss her deeply. She gasps into my mouth. I reach for her panties and tear them from her body.
She shoves her hands in my hair and tugs hard. I groan as I make love to her mouth. I show her that I’m a man of my word as I reach for her folds and begin to make this a night she’ll never forget.
