Violca jumped when she felt arms slide around her before she realized it was just Chase. “I promise to make sure she does.”
“I have no doubt you will,” Eva said before looking back toward Lazzaro. When she frowned, Violca looked to see him talking to a beautiful brunette. Violca had met her earlier but couldn’t remember her name. With a big smile, Eva looked at them both. “Well, I believe I’m going to leave you two alone and go find someone to dance with.”
Violca watched her walk away and leaned on Chase. “Should I ask what you two were talking about?”
Shaking her head, she looked up at him. “Just how she should find a safe dragon to dance with.”
Chase laughed, Violca turned in his arms and he put his forehead against hers. He growled low and a shudder ran up her spine. “You wouldn’t think dragons were safe if you knew what I’m planning to do with you the moment we are alone.”
Giggling, Violca leaned up and brushed her lips against his. “How much longer do we have to wait until we can leave?”
Chase gave her a hungry look before bending down and picking her up into his arms. When they moved into the ballroom doorway, several of the guests saw them and began to clap, drawing all eyes to them. When the room went quiet, Chase spoke loudly enough that his voice echoed off the walls. “Thank you guys for coming, but if you don’t mind…”
“Wait!” Violca heard Angyalka call out to them, running with Violca’s wedding bouquet in her hand. “She has to throw this first.”
“Thank you,” Violca whispered, feeling her cheeks heat up, knowing everyone’s eyes were upon them.
Violca tried not to laugh as Kassandra tried to get all the unmated females gathered quickly together near the balcony entrance. Chase turned so his back was to everyone, keeping Violca in his arms while she tossed the bouquet over his shoulder. They heard several squeals and Chase turned around just in time to see the flowers fly over one of the girls’ hands and land in Kassandra’s surprised ones.
With one final farewell, Chase carried Violca away. Her head on his shoulder, Violca noticed the moon starting to come out from behind the clouds and she thought tonight was the perfect night to redo the binding ritual that had joined them together.
Chapter 17
Chase easily opened the door to the cabin while holding Violca in his arms. They had taken one of the jeeps from the house out into the woods to the cabin that was set up for the first night of their honeymoon. Crossing the threshold, Chase used his foot to close the door. The bags they packed were sitting near the door, brought down by one of the guards. The entire cabin had white candles lit everywhere and Chase made a mental note to thank Aithne, who had set up the cabin for them.
Releasing her legs, he moaned when she slid down his body, until her feet were touching the floor. “Mrs. Reed, I do hope you rested last night,” he teased while nibbling on her lips, “It might be awhile before that happens again.”
Violca’s lips curved up in a teasing smile as her tongue came out and licked his bottom lip. “Mr. Reed, I have a funny feeling it’ll be a long time before we will get more than a few hours.”
Taking a step back to look at her, he felt his chest swell with pride as his hand came up and gently pushed a stray hair back behind her ear. Violca had showed him the passage about her ancestors’ mating ceremony. He was excited to recite the words that bonded them together tonight under the stars and the light of the full moon. Through his connection, he could feel her excitement as well. Since meeting her, he was whole. Everything he didn’t know he was missing was right there in front of him and every day with her was an adventure.
She turned and looked at him. “Can you unzip this for me?”
Nodding, he stepped toward her. The sound of the teeth of her zipper was loud in the silence of the room. Holding the dress up with one hand she smiled up at him. “I’ll be right back.”
Standing in place, he watched as she left to head down the hall. Whatever she had planned, she must have had Aithne’s help with setting it up, since her bag still sat next to the door. Taking his jacket off, he put it on the back of a chair. Noticing a bottle of champagne chilling next to two glasses and a tray of chocolate-covered strawberries, he picked up the note next to it. “We are so happy for you guys. Have a fantastic honeymoon. Love, Viktor and Aithne.”
Chase decided to wait until Violca came out of the back before opening the champagne. Walking to the sliding glass door, he opened it to find a makeshift bed on one side and the hot tub on the other. Candles were lit everywhere and flower petals that matched Violca’s bouquet were scattered around the patio.
Hearing a sound behind him, Chase turned to see Violca standing in the doorway. His breath caught in his throat as his eyes roamed her body. Standing in a white nightie made of silk and lace that hung to the floor, a slit showing most of one leg and lace strategically placed to tease him, she was a sight to see.
“Wow,” Chase said under his breath and smiled when he saw her blush as he walked toward her.
When he wrapped his arms around her waist, she looked up at him, “You’re now both magically and legally bound to me.”
Chuckling, he kissed her before taking her hand and leading her to the table to pick up the tray with the champagne and strawberries. “V, I was bound to you long before that,” he said as he led her out onto the back porch.
Leading her to the makeshift bed, Violca sat on the edge, a smile playing on her lips, “It’s such a beautiful night.”
Popping the champagne cork, he poured them both a glass. Handing her one of the glasses, he clanked it with hers. “The first of many.”
He watched as she took a sip of her champagne, a wicked grin playing on her lips. Grabbing one of the strawberries, he brought it up to her mouth, watching as her lips parted to take a bite. She laughed as the chocolate broke up and the strawberry juices ran down her chin. Chase leaned in and licked the trail of juice running from her jaw to her lips, finishing by kissing her and sharing the strawberry.
Sipping their champagne as they fed each other the strawberries, Chase moaned when Violca nibbled on his fingers. She sucked his index finger into her mouth as her tongue licked the berry juices off his finger.
Placing the glasses on the ground next to the bed, Chase brushed his lips against hers and felt her hands start to undo the buttons on his shirt as he slowly lowered her onto her back. His hand slid up her thigh, pushing up the nightie, and she pushed his shirt off his shoulders in return, only breaking the kiss long enough to toss the shirt to the side of the bed before joining her again.

Violca smiled as she reached out for him and pulled him back to her. She loved how his hand slid up her thigh. Despite the warm night, a shudder ran up her spine as she held him close; their tongues continued to duel. Her body arched against his and her fingers eagerly began to undo his pants. His cock sprung free and a giggle escaped her. Even dressed up, Chase wore nothing under his pants and Violca found that to be a complete turn-on.
Her nightgown pushed up to her waist, Violca felt him settle between her thighs as she continued to stroke him with her fingers. Chase broke the kiss and began to kiss along her jaw, nibbling along her neck until he got to her earlobe. Violca shuddered as he sucked it into his mouth before biting gently. Violca’s fingers tightened around him and he growled. The connection between them let her hear the beastly growl in her head. Mine! in her head. She knew it came from his dragon and Violca smiled, giving him better access before whispering Mine! back.
Violca felt him chuckle as he pulled back to look down at her. His eyes, more gold than brown, made her bite her lip as she reached up and brushed his hair back behind his ear. Violca felt him rock his hips against hers and a moan escaped.
Pushing down his pants, Violca wiggled under him and felt him pull back more as he took over the job for her. Chase tossed them aside before grabbing her nightgown and pulling it up and over her head. Lying back down, Violca looked up at him and felt the
light of the moon caressing her skin.
Violca looked at the moonlight dancing along Chase’s skin, and as she slowly made her way up to his face, she bit her lip when she saw his predatory gaze meeting hers. When he joined her back on the bed his hungry kiss claimed her.
Her hand on his chest, she pushed him to his back. Straddling his hips as she followed him. Violca rocked her hips back and forth and they both moaned as his cock slid between her wet folds. Both of them were more than ready. She broke the kiss to reach between their bodies and guide him into her eager core. His moan echoed hers as his hips came up to meet her.
Sitting up, he wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly as she looked into his eyes. Violca brought her hand up and stroked his jaw. Violca could feel her teeth throbbing and the voice of her ancestors as they chanted the blessing that would bind them. She could feel Chase’s dragon just below the surface, eager for her to complete the binding.
“I bind my life with yours. My power and strength belong to you. I am yours now to eternity.” Violca said as she dipped her head to brush her teeth along the column of his neck. She could feel her teeth throbbing, and the voice of her ancestors as they chanted the blessing that would bind them.
Chase’s voice was thick with need. She could feel his muscles under her tight with the effort he was using to keep himself still inside her as he repeated after her. “I bind my life with yours. My power and strength belong to you. I am yours now to eternity.”
With that, they both sunk their teeth into the base of the other’s neck just hard enough to break the skin and taste the blood on their tongues. The pleasure was so intense Violca’s fingers curled on his chest as her hips began to buck against him, breaking her hold on his neck while she screamed out in pleasure.
Chase rolled her to her back and Violca felt him thrusting hard into her. She rolled from one orgasm to the next, her entire body shaking under him when she felt him thrust deep inside her and the heat of his seed as he filled her.
She felt his breath on her shoulder as they both started to come down, his body still joined with hers. Blinking her eyes open, she ran her fingers gently up and down his back as he nuzzled her neck. Her eyes went to where she bit him and gently licked at the mark. His chest vibrated as he purred and did the same to her.
A shudder ran down her spine in pleasure and Violca felt his cock twitch inside her. Chase pulled back and looked down at her, brushing the hair from her face. A soft breeze caressed them as they lay outside. “The connection between us feels…”
“Stronger,” Chase finished for her as he brushed his lips against hers.
Violca nodded, feeling more connected to his dragon and to him. Looking at his face, she could faintly make out the dragon under his skin and smiled at him. “I love you, Mr. Reed.”
Chuckling, Chase moved his hips, pulling out before thrusting back into her. “I love you, Mrs. Reed, forever and ever,” he said as they slowly made love again.
