Eliane is trying. What do you think of her efforts?
I never knew that Eliane was jealous. I knew she was mad about Charlotte, but jealous? She’s never come across as jealous, not in her human form, anyway.Jealous. I’m excited to get to know more about that. However, her next words have all that excitement going out the door.“What do you want to know, Eliane?” I ask, trying to find a way around answering her question. I’m not sure I’m ready for whatever response she’s going to have for what I did.“You’re weak. I want to know why. What did you do that caused you to need to rest, Cal?”“You know that dragons can’t heal missing scales. Only an Alpha can do that,” I say carefully.She turns and looks at me.“How did you do it?” she asks, saying the words slowly and letting me know that she realizes that I’m avoiding her question. “Did you….did you take away your ability to fly?” she asks and her voice catches.“No! No, I can still fly,” I say, wanting to reassure her.“But not tonight?” she asks.“You’re my rider, Eliane. If you want to f
I remember this feeling, this euphoria from the last time I was with Ancalagon. Only this time, it’s so much stronger. I didn’t know that opening my mind to Ancalagon would cause this level of intensity, this depth of happiness and pleasure. It’s not what I felt from Iniko at all. This is pure, absolute, passionate love. I could bask in my dragon’s love forever and never need anything else.‘You’d need to eat on occasion,’ he says, his mind floating through mine. Even his deep voice echoing inside my head is sexy, full of love, and making my body hum with desire.‘Look at your skin, Eliane. Your dragon scales are glowing,’ he says.I don’t want to open my eyes, I’m enjoying the feeling of Ancalagon in my mind too much.I feel him chuckle, the warmth of his love for me flowing through me. ‘I’ll still be here, in your mind. You’ll have to force me out now. Now, I know what you want and I know that you like having me here, so I’m not leaving,’ he says.I open my eyes, looking around and s
Bliss, ecstasy, euphoria, rapture – those are the best words that I can think of in the human language that can describe what it feels like to be inside Eliane. It’s not just being inside her body, although that is it’s own exquisite pleasure, but being in her mind at the same time, being able to focus on how I’m making her feel, how she’s responding to me, have made these last three days the most fucking incredible experience of my life.She’s enough of a dragon, her dragon’s scales a constant under her skin, that I never felt the need to leave her body. So I didn’t, I stroked her mind and body, felt her soul flying with mine as we found our pleasure together over and over. And the best part, was keeping her there. Once I found the magic spot, we rode that orgasm together for days. I’ll need to talk to her about her desire to become pregnant. If she doesn’t want that, then she’ll need to shift soon and stay in her dragon form because she’s filled with my sperm, potent, Alpha dragon sp
I wake up, on a bed, and on my back. I’m surprised that it doesn’t hurt. I carefully shift and realize that there is no pain in my back.“You’re healed, Iniko,” a soft voice says from beside me. It’s not Eliane and I open my eyes to see the woman who said she was my mother, Zephyr.I look around the room, expecting to see Eliane, but she isn’t here.“She’ll be back soon, I’m sure,” Zephyr says.I focus on her again. “Who?”“Your rider, of course. Isn’t that who you’re looking for?”“Where is she?”“Not here,” she says, and I know where she is. She’s with HIM.“How did you heal me?” I ask her, looking up at the ceiling. Something deep inside me loves this woman and I don’t want to hurt her, but I feel like my heart is breaking. How could Eliane leave me? How could she go with him when I’m the one who is injured.“I didn’t. We tried. All of the elementals tried, so did Kenna. She’s a hybrid, but got the fire dragon gene. But none of us could heal you,” she says.I frown and look at her.
I once again drown in the feelings of my mate. Delicious, exquisite rapture.I know time has passed, I’ve seen the sun come up and the sun go down. I know that our emotions caused the elements around us to react, having seen the waterspout spinning around us, as if I was on the ground looking up at it. And then there were the flames that danced around the waterspout, heating me with steam that caressed my skin in the few places that Ancalagon wasn’t.Time passed and we might have returned back to the Academy already, but Ancalagon was worried about me getting pregnant.“Baby, you need to tell me if you’re ready to have my baby, because you are FULL of my sperm.”“I…”Do I want Ancalagon’s baby? Absolutely, the idea of carrying his child sends a different kind of pleasure rolling through me. Being able to bind myself to him like that, forever, is extremely appealing. But right now, we have a lot that we have to figure out. I’m still learning what it means to be a dragon rider. I’m still
Playing with Eliane in her dragon form is nearly as much fun as having sex with her. Nearly. But now, it’s time to return home. I know Eliane said things won’t change between us , but I’m still nervous about what or how Iniko might get her to take his side in things. Since he can lie to her, he could tell her anything. I’m just glad that she now knows that he did lie to her and that I have always told her the truth.“Why is my dragon unsettled?” Eliane asks. She’s wrapped in my arms, exactly where I like her to be. I’d waited until she’d fallen asleep and shifted, then moved her into my arms so I could keep her safe while we slept.“It’s time. We’re right outside the academy,” I tell her. The dragons and Cedric’s werewolf patrols had sensed my presence last night, but since I didn’t announce myself, they stayed quiet.She rolls over to look at me. “It’s going to be okay, Cal,” she says, stroking my cheek. I sigh, feeling it in her mind that she believes it, so I will too.“Okay. Are we
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my short life. Some were because I didn’t know or understand what it meant to be rider or a dragon. And some, I have to take full responsibility for. I can feel Ancalagon’s worry that I’ll shut him out again. After sealing our bond, our connection is much stronger. While I can’t read his mind like he can read mine, I can feel his emotions, and I know that it’s my fault that he’s worried.So, not only do I make a point of leaving my mind open for him to hear what’s said, but I also make a point of letting him and Iniko know that I intend to check in with him later. Iniko has manipulated me up to this point. Whether it was for his own needs, or because he truly thought we were mates, I’m not sure, but I now understand the difference between what a mated dragon-rider bond feels like and a straight dragon-rider bond. I still care about Iniko, I still love him, but I will never love him the way that I love Ancalagon.“Do you want to walk?” I ask him.He nods a
Eliane came to my room after talking to Iniko, just like she said she would. I felt her coming, so I opened the door and waited for her. She rushed right into my arms, kissing me.It felt good to hear her confront Iniko and to tell him that she knew that I would never lie to her, that everything I do is for her, and that if he pushed her to choose, she would choose me. I wouldn’t put her in that position, I know that’s not what she wants. So, just as she told Iniko, I will do whatever it takes for the two of us to get along, even if it means he gets time alone with her and I have to sit out.Eliane had stayed with me until Ajax had returned to the room.“So, you two are good now?” he asked us.“Yeah, we’re good now,” I say, keeping her tucked up against me on the bed where we’d been snuggling together.“Hey, how’s the girl in the hospital? Any change?” I ask him.“Emmi. She woke up and told us her name. She still…well, Doc is still running tests on her. He hasn’t figured out what she i
