Her nipples hardened, pressing against the material and begging for his attention as he continued to gently knead her breast. Violca knew Chase loved teasing her by prolonging their pleasure until neither one of them could hold back.
Sliding her hands from his hair, she grabbed the bottom of his shirt, pulling it up. Chase broke the kiss. Letting her pull it over his head, she continued biting her lip while looking him over. Her hands came up and lovingly traced the contours of his muscles. Holding himself up over her, his eyes watched her face as her fingers gently began to trace his muscles. Under her light touch, she could feel his muscles quiver.
Chase looked around the room. Standing up, he reached his hand down to help her up. Taking her hands, he helped her up, standing her before him. With a wicked grin, he pulled her shirt up over her head, tossing it on the end of the couch. “Much better,” he growled before pulling her closer to him.
A small giggle escaped Violca as she felt his hands slide around her waist, pulling her in close. His head came down and kissed her deeply, his tongue instantly dueling with hers. Violca felt Chase’s hands gliding up her back, undoing the clasp of her bra. His touch was feather light as his hands drew up her back, then she felt him pull the straps off her shoulders.
Smiling against his lips, she broke the kiss and began to kiss along his neck as her hands went back to his chest. Working her way down, she traced the muscles until she got to the top of his pants. Her fingers quickly worked at the button of his jeans, moaning against his neck when she felt his cock spring free and into her hand. Stroking the length of him, she heard him moan and bit the base of his neck, her teeth scraping her mark.
Chase’s breath on her ear caused a small shiver to run down her spine. “Are you enjoying teasing the dragon, my witch?”
Violca smiled, her tongue licking her mark, enjoying the way his cock bucked against her hand. “And if I was enjoying teasing the dragon? What could possibly happen?”
Chase growled and took a step back. Violca looked up into his eyes and noticed that his golden eyes were gold and virtually glowing. She loved being able to feel his dragon and when he grinned at her wickedly, her breath caught in the back of her throat. “You should know by now, if you want to tease the dragon, prepare to get burned.”
He let out a low growl and Violca squealed, turning to run from him. Chase easily reached out and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her back to him. He held her while his free hand slid along her stomach to the top of her pants. Tilting her head to the side, she felt his teeth scrape the sensitive skin on her neck. His fingers found the zipper of her pants and the only thing louder than the sound of him unzipping her jeans was the sound of her breathing.
“Are you afraid, witch?” Chase asked and she could feel his lips curve up in a smile against her neck.
Violca bit her lip and felt him slide her pants past her hips. Wiggling, she helped them slide down and stepped out of them. “Never afraid,” she purred.
His arm went around her waist, lowering her to the floor. Chase rolled Violca onto her back before settling between her thighs. His cock pressing against the thin material of her thong made her bite her lip to keep the moan from escaping.
Her eyes fluttered up to his face and her breath caught when she found him watching her. “I love you,” he whispered before leaning down to kiss her gently. His hands gently teased along her skin; her stomach muscles quivered under his touch.
Sitting up, he reached down and grabbed the sides of her black thong. Violca arched her hips and felt his hands caress her thighs as he slowly rolled it down her thighs. Tossing it over his shoulder, she shivered in pleasure as he slowly kissed along her calf before nipping at her knee. He then softly ran his lips up her inner thigh.
Violca looked down at him, her breath catching as she watched his tongue run up her wet slit. Chase licked his lips and shot her a very wicked grin. “So wet and ready for me.” He nipped at her stomach right below her belly button.
Rolling her hips up, she smiled down at him and cupped his cheek. “I’m always ready for you, my dragon.”
With a mock growl, he climbed up her body and entered her in one deep thrust. Violca wrapped her legs around his waist, holding him tight as her hips came up to meet his. Chase propped himself up on his arms and looked into her eyes as their hips began to move in unison.
Reaching up, her hands slid around his neck, entangling into his hair. “I love you,” Violca managed to pant, her pleasure building with each hard thrust.
Chase put his forehead against hers his breathing just as affected as hers as they continued to move together. “I love you,” Chase whispered.
Matching him thrust for thrust, Violca tightened her hold in his hair as her pleasure built. Chase dipped his head and she felt his tongue flick back and forth across her nipple. Shaking, her body arched up, her release was so close. Little mewling escaped her as she tugged on his hair. When her movements became less and less controlled, she felt Chase suck her nipple into his mouth before his gentle bite sent her over.
“Chase!” Violca screamed as wave after wave of pleasure rolled through her, her head thrown back as her core spasmed around his thrusting cock. She distantly heard his grunt as he thrust deep into her before she felt the warmth as he found his release.
Holding him tight as they both came down, Violca sighed with pleasure. She felt his lips glide across her shoulder to her ear. A giggle escaped her when he whispered, “Yep, it’s definitely time someone made an honest woman out of you.”
Chapter 14
The wedding was tomorrow. Eva and Kati had decided that Chase needed to vacate his room, so they kicked him out to sleep in the west wing. All the girls had taken to sleeping in Violca’s room. He snuck over once to see her and found her in the bed with all four girls sound asleep. Chase had watched them for a moment before returning to his borrowed room.
Hearing a knock on the door, he called out for whoever was on the other side to enter and was surprised to see Viktor standing in the doorway. “Couldn’t sleep?” Viktor asked as he walked into the room.
“Not tired just yet,” Chase replied, closing the small box he held in his hand.
Viktor walked into the room and leaned against the dresser. “Kassandra has been busy adding the finishing touches to your wedding, but I think she’s looking forward to learn more about those twin wolves you told us about.”
He saw Viktor checking out the box in his hand and he tossed it to him. Viktor caught it easily with one hand. “I made some changes to my mother’s ring.”
Viktor opened the box and Chase saw him smile. “Are you going to tell your mate about the changes?”
He tossed it back to Chase, who put the box back in the nightstand. Chase shrugged. “Maybe later. She wants to go to my family home and see where I grew up.”
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Viktor grin. “Is that where you’re taking her for your honeymoon?”
He hadn’t told anyone about his honeymoon plans. He told Angyalka if she saw anything not to tell anyone. Chase’s family had an estate in England and one in Louisiana. After the wedding, Viktor had set up a cabin for them to spend the night in, where Chase had every intention of taking her under the full moon. The next day he had planned to fly her to St. Thomas, then on a boat ride to a small private island. “That wasn’t the original plan, but I thought we could stop for a day or two on the way home so she could see my home.”
Viktor nodded. “I’m going to have a few guards go down to Louisiana just in case someone is waiting for you. Are you sure you don’t want any guards to go with you on your honeymoon?”
Chase snorted, making a face at his friend. Viktor laughed and he shook his head. “Would you like someone to go with you on your honeymoon?”
“Point taken, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Are you sure you two will be okay?” Viktor asked. Chase heard the concern in his friend’s voice.
“I’m sure. Everything’s been paid for with cas
h and the names are fake. The place is pretty isolated and I will be able to see or sense someone coming for miles.”
Viktor nodded and Chase saw his friend’s head tilt as if he were listening to something in the other room. Chase didn’t even try to listen, and since the room belonged to Viktor and Aithne, he assumed whatever he was listening to might be private. “Just make sure to check in. If you change your mind…”
“I know. Go get some sleep. Kassandra messaged me earlier and apparently I have a long list of things to do before the wedding. I’m probably going to need your help.”
Viktor chuckled at that, leaving Chase alone with his thoughts. Knowing he wouldn’t be falling asleep any time soon, he lay on the bed, crossing his ankles. He found it hard to sleep without Violca in his arms. She calmed him and his dragon in ways he never knew another person could. She also irritated him and challenged him and with one look, she turned his entire life upside down, but for the better. Chase officially understood those loving looks his parents shared and wished he could have introduced them to her. They would have loved her and she them.
The day would start with both of them doing a cleansing ritual. A big part of that was the white candles that had been placed everywhere. In the morning he was to light those candles in the bathroom before he showered. Eva and Kati would be lighting the ones in the church before the ceremony. Chase was secretly glad that Violca had only chosen to pick a few traditions from both the witch’s book and the dragon’s book. Apparently, their ancestors enjoyed ceremonies that lasted all day.
Chase found himself excited to recreate the binding ritual with Violca, which would take place outside and under the full moon. This time it would be just the two of them. No demons hunting them, no family or friends that had a tendency to walk in on them. After the reception tomorrow, they would go to a cabin that was just outside the grounds. As one of Viktor’s gifts, it had been cleaned and stocked for them. It was one of a few cabins that had a wraparound porch and a Jacuzzi on the back porch. He fully planned to enjoy the night with just her before they left to check out his old family home and their private beach.
Eva was going to be staying at the house while they were gone just to help Aithne out. Kati said she could handle it, but Violca thought it would be good for them all to be together. When Chase told her that they would be gone for two weeks, Violca went into panic mode. Since the death of her parents, Violca had taken care of her sisters and Chase doubted she had ever willingly been away from them.
Since proposing, he couldn’t help but imagine how beautiful Violca would look; big and round with their baby. Chase knew that their first would be a girl. Her eyes would be violet, just like her mother’s, and she would be stunningly beautiful. She would be the spitting image of her mother and there was no doubt in his mind that she would have him wrapped around her finger. Chase grinned as he stared up at the ceiling. Violca would be a beautiful mother and he counted his blessings every day for the Fates bringing them together.
Chapter 15
With the bathroom candles lit, Violca leaned back in the tub. The water was filled with different oils meant to help cleanse her for her wedding day, according to her mother’s book. She could hear her sisters outside in her room getting up. There was a loud knock followed by Eva’s voice, “We’re going downstairs to eat breakfast. I’ll bring you some breakfast in a little bit.”
“Thanks Eva,” Violca said, loudly enough to be heard through the door.
She could hear the sound of the girls leaving the room and the door closing behind them. Violca had woken up early, excited and nervous for her wedding. Sinking lower in the tub, she took a deep breath, exhaling slowly with excitement at the start of this new chapter with Chase.
Chase refused to tell her where they were spending their honeymoon and had Aithne pack her bag for her. Violca was having a hard time not being in control of the last-minute details, but all the girls had promised to take care of things and she wanted to show Eva and Kati she trusted them with more responsibility. Aithne and Kassandra were there to help as well.
Standing up from the tub, she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself when she heard another soft knock on the door. She was surprised to hear Chase’s voice through the door, “So are you naked, wet, and thinking about me, my future wife?”
Biting her lip and grinning, she walked toward the door. Not opening it, she answered, “I admit to being naked and wet; the rest you will have to imagine.” She grinned at the sound of his moan. “What are you doing over here? It’s bad luck to see me before the wedding.”
“I know. Eva told me you were in the tub so I thought I would sneak over and bring you something to help keep your strength up.”
Curious, she finished drying herself as she talked to him through the door, “Oh, and what makes you think I need my strength today?”
“Because I plan on keeping you very busy the second I am finally able to get you alone. I’ll see you in a few hours. I’ll be the very handsome man in the front.”
“I love you,” Violca said, and leaned against the door as she heard him say those same words back. She heard him leave the room and wrapped herself in a robe in case one of the girls came back in.
Stepping out of the bathroom, she saw a tray full of food with a mimosa-filled champagne flute. She grinned, looking over what he had brought up: eggs, bacon, toast, and on the corner of the tray, a box with a ribbon and an envelope addressed to her. Opening the envelope first, she read:
Since meeting you, my life has changed for the better. Every day with you is an adventure and I am looking forward to what the Fates have in store for us next. I have been yours since the moment I saw your picture and today we make it official before our family and friends.
All my love, Chase.
Violca sat down on the chair; brushing away the tear she felt sliding down her cheek. Eagerly picking up the box, she opened it to find a heart-shaped necklace with the engraving of a black dragon on it with golden eyes. The necklace looked like an antique and she gently traced it with her fingers. It was beautiful.
Putting the box down for a moment, she took a bite of her eggs and sat to eat her breakfast. It was so sweet of him to bring her breakfast. She knew Kassandra had a big long list of last-minute details that he was going to have to help with, and Chase still found a moment to make her feel loved and cherished.
Sipping her mimosa, she finished up her breakfast when she heard yet another soft knock on the door. Eva came in, a cheesy smile on her face. “Kat has the guys working on the giant list and she is barking orders to all the delivery men. It’s funny as hell watching them all jump every time she yells.”
Violca laughed, “Yeah, she needs to teach a class on how to get people to do what she wants.”
Eva grinned and Violca shook her head, noticing that familiar mischievous twinkle in her sister’s eyes as she thought about it. Eva was enjoying her first year of college; she was beautiful, smart, and thanks to Brandon’s advice and Kassandra taking the time to work with her, she was getting better at blocking the thoughts of others. This made it easier for her to be a normal girl, well, normal-ish.
Eva told her about how school was going and how she was excited that Brandon was going to be there. He was supposed to have arrived a few days ago, but a court date had changed and instead he was taking a red-eye that was expected to arrive any minute.
Brandon was one of Violca’s best friends from elementary school and was going to walk her down the aisle. He had a court appearance yesterday and Viktor had volunteered to send his plane to pick him up. She thought it was funny that a flying dragon had a private plane, but Viktor had shrugged and pointed out that in these times it was convenient. Eryk eagerly offered to pick him up. Eva had told her that he if did so, he could avoid Kassandra. They had both laughed at the confession, but hearing how she had all the guys running around downstairs, Violca knew that Eryk had done the smart thing.
The rest of the morning was a blur to Viol
ca. Kassandra’s friend Mary showed up with a friend to do everyone’s hair and makeup. Violca didn’t normally let Sari and Angyalka wear makeup, but since it was a special occasion she allowed them each to wear lipstick and blush. Violca couldn’t believe how grownup the two looked. Violca almost cried when Sari had her thirteenth birthday a few weeks back, officially making her a teenager. Less than one years to go before Angyalka joined her. Violca smiled to herself, thinking that as hard as it was for her, Chase actually seemed to be taking it worse.
The girls finished, and Mary took out the curlers she had put in her hair. Leaving the back of her hair down, she used clips to pin up the front. The pins had silk purple and white pansies on them to match the dress. As Mary applied her makeup, her friend continued to add more silk flowers to the back of her hair. They refused to let her see herself in a mirror until she was done and dressed. Taking off the robe, she let them help her into the dress.
The dress was strapless and Mary carefully laced up the back for her. The dress was white except for the ribbon used to lace up the back and to line the collar with thick silk. The ribbon and lining were violet, just a few shades darker than her eyes. The bottom of the dress was layered, making it broad at the bottom; there was a purple pansy at the waist of the dress, a larger version of the silk ones that were currently resting in her hair.
The girls were wearing dresses of the same color violet. Eva, who was the oldest and maid of honor, had a strapless bodice. Violca watched them as they stood by the window, awaiting the arrival of guests. Violca was having a hard time standing still, and when the girls all let out happy squeals, she smiled, fighting the urge to run to the window herself. She knew Brandon had finally arrived. Sari tapped the window and when the girls started waving, it was clear he had looked up at them.
Mary uncovered the mirror that was in front of her and Violca saw her reflection for the first time since they started getting her ready. She found herself in awe of the job that they had done. Everything was perfect. She felt like a princess. Mary smiled at her and her friend used a mirror behind her so she could see the reflection of the violet pansies in her hair. Breathless, she finally whispered, “Thank you; you two have done a beautiful job.”
