Fire Breathing Beast: Dragons of the Bayou Book 1

by Ayers, Candace

  My core dripped and my body weakened like someone had pulled a magic trick with my bones. Everything felt like jelly. “Tell me how it would be.”

  “Rough. Me fucking you would be rough, Sky. I’d fuck you so hard that you screamed for me. I’d spank that plump, delicious ass of yours and pull your hair. I’d use you however I wanted. If I wanted to pull out of your sweet pussy and slide into this beautiful ass, I would. I’d tie you up and use you until I’d come all over you and you begged me to stop so you could rest.” He nipped my neck. “I wouldn’t stop, though. Not until I’d had my fill.”

  I panted. My core constricted, practically begging for him to thrust into me. “Beast…”

  “Is that something you want, little one? You want to be fucked like one of the castle whores?”

  Time froze as the words settled around us. I couldn’t tell which one of us stiffened first. I escaped from under his arm and turned to glare at him. “You had castle whores?”

  His grimace said it all. He wanted to take the words back, but it was too late. They were echoing in my head, loud and clear. “That was a long time ago, Sky. Another lifetime.”

  “That’s how you fucked them, though? You fucked them rough and hard and you yanked their hair? Is that right? Jesus, Beast.”

  “I don’t fuck you like that, Sky. I make love to you. You have nothing to be angry about.”

  I pointed at him. “I felt you hard against me when you were talking about it. You want to fuck me like that. You want to reminisce about how you used to spend time with your castle whores? Who the hell are you? Castle whores?”

  “I was hard because you make me hard. If I want to fuck anyone, it is only you.”

  “Do you have women like that here? Whores you fuck? Do you think you’re going to have me and them, too?”

  “No!” The roar he let out shook the house, yet I refused to flinch. “I will never want anyone but you. What don’t you understand about mates?”

  “Any of it! I don’t understand any of it.” I marched over to the living room and dropped into one of the couches. I felt angry and hurt. And completely irrational. It didn’t make any sense for me to be acting like that. Yes, I knew it. I was jealous, though. I was jealous of a life he’d led so long before he’d met me that I hadn’t even been born yet. “I don’t understand anything about mates, Beast.”

  He knelt in front of me. “Now that I have found you, you are the only female I will ever desire. I would never touch another. I couldn’t. The thought of it makes me ill. I would not even be able to get hard for any other female. The idea of fucking you is what made me hard, not some faded memories from two hundred years ago. I’m sorry I said something that upset you.”

  “I’m sorry you said it, too.” I crossed my arms and sniffled as tears threatened to fall.

  “Please, Sky. Forgive me. We are mates. There will never be anyone else for either of us. I will never look at another female. You should never look at another man, not if you want him to remain living.”

  I rolled my eyes feeling incredibly, pitifully ridiculous, but I said it anyway. “This is only for the week, remember.”

  Beast

  I was a complete moron for saying that to Sky. In my defense, I wasn’t used to being around females. I forgot that with females a dragon had to watch his tongue. Males either didn’t get upset when you said something you didn’t mean and went on to correct yourself, or we brawled, beat on each other, and then it was over. I cursed myself for being stupid enough to say something like that to her. She was nothing like a castle whore. I would never see her that way no matter how rough and dirty our lovemaking became. She would always be my queen. I wanted to roar a flaming, fiery inferno, though, for her sticking with the silly notion of us only lasting a week. Even though I knew it couldn’t be cut short, ever, it hurt to hear her say that.

  “It’s not just for a week. You’re lying to yourself if you really think that.”

  She frowned. “Beast… I have a life to get back to.”

  “A life that includes me, now.”

  “No. You’re…great. You’re a dragon, though, Beast. I never thought that specific word combination would come out of my mouth. I live a normal life, in a normal world and that’s how I like it. I have to go back to it. This is fun and exciting; it has been the thrill of a lifetime for me and I promise you I will never forget it, but I can’t exist in your world. The boys can’t, either.”

  The tension in the room was high and hearing her use my being a dragon as an excuse to leave made me angry. I stood up and moved to the other side of the living room. “You can’t be with me because I’m a dragon?”

  She nodded. “Yes. I’m just a regular, everyday human. My boys are regular, everyday humans. You’re hundreds of years old. Thousands maybe. You live in the middle of a swamp. I’m just this woman who’s going to grow old and die in fifty or sixty years. You and I just don’t mesh. We come from different worlds. Literally.”

  “That’s bullshit. You’re not a regular human. You’re the mate of a warrior dragon. And we do mesh. Very well. We were meant for each other. What don’t you understand?”

  “And if I don’t want to be meant for you?” The words were so quiet that I could almost pretend that I’d imagined them. Almost. “What if I want to be a normal human and go back to the way things were? What if all of this is too much for me?”

  “I do not believe you. You are no coward.” My voice shook, anger threatening to throw me into an uncontrolled shift. “You would not run from this because you are frightened of it.”

  The tears that had been glistening in her eyes finally fell. She turned her head and wiped them away. “You don’t know that. You don’t know me.”

  The faraway sound of Cezar’s wings alerted me to his presence. I growled. “Cezar and the young males have arrived.”

  She jumped up and ran her shaking hands through her hair. “Maybe the boys and I should go…”

  I stilled, not able to process that she was really going to try and leave me. “You promised a week.”

  “It’ll just hurt more, Beast.”

  “I don’t care. I get a week.”

  She nodded. “Fine. A week.”

  “I am going to change your mind.” I grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into me for a punishing kiss. When I pulled away, I could hear the three males tromping up the dock. I growled against her lips and cupped her sex. “You are mine, Sky. You always were and you always will be.”

  She pulled away from me and I released her just before the knock at the door. She was flushed and I scented her sweet arousal. I didn’t understand why she chose to fight this so hard, but it would work out. I hoped. It had to.

  I opened the door and the young males rushed in, both of them wide-eyed and practically bouncing. Looking past them, at Cezar, I nodded a welcome to him. “I take it they liked the flight?”

  He grinned. “Yeah, I’d say.”

  “Sky! We flew here! Flew!” Casey threw his hands in the air and he looked nothing like the tormented boy he had been.

  Even Nick, the older and more mature male, was giddy with excitement. “Legit. We flew. On the back of a dragon. A real dragon!”

  She gave them a sneaky look and grinned. “How do you think Beast brought me here after work?”

  Casey gasped and brushed his hair back from his face. Holding his forehead, he shook his head. “This is cray cray. What does Beast’s dragon look like? Cezar’s is bright green!”

  “With streaks of gold.” Nick tossed a look over at Cezar and smiled. “That’s the real show.”

  I felt a pang of jealousy. Nick belonged to me. He and Casey came with Sky and she was definitely mine. I wasn’t pleased that he was more impressed with Cezar than with me, but I would change that. “Are you ready to see your second dragon of the night?”

  Casey’s eyes went even wider. “Yes!”

  Nick nodded, too, looking even more thrilled. “That’d be sick!”

  Cezar t
ossed me a disbelieving look, but I ignored him. I could impress the young males, too. We all went outside and I kept my back to them while I stripped out of my boxers and then made a big show of running down the dock and leaping into the air.

  I shifted in midair and by the time I was descending towards the water, I had already extended my wings and was pumping, elevating my body up towards the darkening sky. I threw my head back, made sure I was clear of the trees, and let out a big breath of fire before diving back down towards the water.

  Nick and Casey were cheering at the end of the dock, but Sky was still on the patio, her arms crossed over her chest. She was pretending to be blasé and to anyone else, she may have looked the part. I knew better, though. Even as high up as I was, I could tell she was dazzled by me. Her body radiated desire. I scented it.

  Cezar must certainly have been able to scent her too if I could, and he was too fucking close. I breathed a rain of fire that he had to leap to his left to avoid. Roaring, I swooped down and grabbed Sky.

  She let out a startled shriek, but, like she’d been doing it her whole life, easily grabbed my neck and swung herself around so she was riding the back of my neck. Letting out a wild laugh, she leaned back and I glanced over my shoulder to see her hair flying in the wind and her arms lifted. I could hear her heart racing and smell her. She was so aroused, I almost felt her dampness against my scales.

  I flew down and hovered above the lake letting Sky say goodnight to the males. We had somewhere else to be.

  She called to them. “Are they okay with you for another night, Cezar?”

  I growled at hearing her say his name, but her calming hand on my neck quieted me.

  “They’re great. We’re having a blast. We’re going to go learn more about the Call of Duty game together.”

  “It’s so awesome, Sky! Cezar makes us strap in with something he made so we could ride him. Safely.” Casey bounced on his feet and fist pumped the air. He was obviously almost too excited to handle what was happening.

  “Hey. If you fell off and broke your neck, your aunt wouldn’t like me very much, would she?”

  “Yeah, yeah, I get it.” Casey closed the gap between himself and Cezar and gestured excitedly at us in the air. “Let’s fly together.”

  After some encouraging from the boys, Sky and Cezar agreed and then we were all soaring through the night sky together. High enough that we wouldn’t be seen, but low enough that they could get an unobstructed view of Lafourche Parish. I allowed it until I could feel Sky wiggling on my back, eager to be alone with me.

  I signaled to Cezar that we were out of there and Sky called her goodbyes to her young nephews. When they shouted back that they loved her, too, I felt her heart skip a beat and then she hugged my neck tighter and sighed happily. How could she think leaving me would be better for her and them? No human male could give them what I could. No human male could have the young males shouting like toddlers into the night air as their dragons dove towards the earth. No human male could pleasure her until she screamed.

  Only I could do that. No one would worship her like I did.

  Sky

  Flying through the night sky at what felt like a hundred miles per hour, I laughed into Beast’s neck. The gulf was below us and it was the wildest thing, knowing that in a matter of minutes, Beast had flown me to the ocean. The stars shown overhead like millions of sparking diamonds, with no light that far out to distract from them. Everything about the night felt like some stolen adventure that belonged to some fairytale princess, or at least someone much less normal and regular than me.

  My body pulsed against Beast’s. Something about him shifting turned my blood to fire and all I wanted to do was feel him inside of me easing the ache between my thighs. Some carnal hunger spiked in me until I was helplessly forced to surrender to it. It didn’t matter if I was sore or tired. I needed him to quench my longing.

  “Beast, where are we going?” I didn’t think I could stand waiting much longer.

  He dove low and dipped his claws into the water, splashing it up at us. The chilled water did nothing to cool my overheated libido. He changed directions and a few seconds later, he dipped low again. That time, he descended on a strip of land that I hadn’t been able to see.

  Not much bigger than my backyard, the tiny island held nothing more than sand and a lone piece of driftwood. Until Beast shifted back, his dragon took up the practically the entire space. Under the moon, I could just make out enough to know what was around me. Beast shifted and then the man was in front of me, his eyes glowing and his face a contrast of shadows and moon glow.

  “What is this place?”

  He grabbed the hem of the shirt I wore and yanked it over my head. “It’s an island. We did not have these in my world. Like your blow jobs, they’re a wondrous addition to this new world that I greatly appreciate.”

  My core fluttered and I shoved the boxers down my thighs. Stepping out of them, I closed the distance between us and pressed my body against his. His chest hair teased my nipples causing me to moan at the sensation of his erection trapped between us.

  “Are you going to make love to me, or are you going to fuck me?” I couldn’t help teasing him.

  “Tell me, little one, what you want. Do you want me to make love to you?” He leaned down and trailed his tongue along my throat. “Or do you want me to fuck you?”

  Lava. I was lava encased in nerve endings. I felt alive with so much power coursing through my body that I thought I might instantaneously combust. Under the moon, in the wide open, the ocean lapping at the sand a few feet away, I wanted everything from him. When I walked away, I wanted no regrets, nothing left undone.

  “Fuck me.”

  *****Beast*****

  I would’ve done anything for Sky. She was my world. My one true mate for life. Being asked to fuck her was hardly a chore. I didn’t want to hurt her, though and losing all control with her could do just that. She was small and soft and delicate and perfect. I was none of those things.

  “I want you to fuck me, Beast. I want to feel you, all of you, without any holding back She stroked her hands up my chest and moaned. “Please.”

  “Are you begging me, little one?” My cock hardened even more, so much it hurt.

  She dropped to her knees in the sand and stared up at me through those long eyelashes. Her eyes held mine as her tongue stroked over her lips. “Does it make you harder to know that I would beg?”

  I cursed. “Yes.”

  That pink tongue flicked out again and she licked the tip of my cock. Then, she opened her mouth and took in nearly half of my length, closing her lips over my shaft and sucking hard as she pulled off. “Please, Beast. I need you. I need you to fuck me and use me however you want. Pleeease. Make me scream for you.”

  I felt more beast than man in that moment. Hearing those words from her sweet lips and feeling her tongue stroking the underside of my cock, was like being tortured by exquisite pleasure. My body coiled up with the need to fuck her rough and hard, but my mind told me to be easy. I would die if I hurt my mate.

  She must have seen my hesitation, my slight reluctance. “If you won’t fuck me, maybe there’s another big dragon out there that will…” Her teasing voice was followed by a deep suck, but then she squealed, her teeth raking against my cock, as I hauled her up and pushed her over the big piece of sun bleached drift wood.

  I grabbed the hair on the back of her head and pulled her head up as I dug my cock against her crack. I scraped my teeth up her neck and then held the front of her throat in my hand and whispered gruffly against her ear. “I don’t like that joke, little one.”

  She arched her back and rolled her hips, trailing my pre-cum over the plump flesh of her ass. “Begging wasn’t working fast enough, and I need…I need—”

  “This?” I found her core dripping wet and thrust my cock into her fully in one sharp movement. “Or this?” I flicked my thumb over her little bundle of nerves.

  She cried out, her small
hand grasping at the hand I still held over her throat. Her nails bit into my skin as her tight little pussy squeezed me hard. “Beast! Yes!”

  I pulled all the way out and sucked hard on her shoulder. “Like this, Sky?”

  She arched her back even more, trying to get me back into her, but I stayed just out of reach. “You want me to say it again? You didn’t like the joke, but I don’t like being teased. If you can’t do it, I’ll find another dragon. Maybe Cezar?”

  I rammed into her so hard that she would’ve been dumped on the other side of the log had it not been for my hand holding her throat. The beast in me wanted her to know that I was in charge. I was the boss, the one who made the rules and I pounded her with a thunderous frenzy. Her bouncing breasts were riveting. I dropped my hands to them and held them, squeezing the tantalizing flesh while I continued the brutal pace.

  Sky screamed my name and clawed at my arms while I fucked her brutally. Her core pulsed around me hard and fast, like her body couldn’t catch up to what was happening. When I raised one of my hands and slapped her on the ass, she reached back and tugged at my hair. “Yes, don’t stop. Don’t fucking stop.”

  I growled in her ear as I thrust in and out of her. Pulling almost all the way out and then ramming back in, I felt myself bottoming out in her, touching the depths of her. I wanted to spill my seed there, mark the deepest recesses of her as mine. “I’m going to come in you, Sky. I’m going to release my seed deep in you. You are mine. You will never be with anyone else. I won’t let it happen.”

  Her body tightened, squeezing me so hard it was almost painful. Her hand in my hair yanked harder. “I’m going to come, Beast.” I stopped.

  “Not until you tell me that you’re mine.” I rammed into her once and withdrew, my hand raining more slaps on her ass. Her skin was bright red and I loved the look of my handprint on her pale ass. I wanted my marks to be everywhere.
