I made it to my room and walked in, sighing as I felt the cool breeze from the open archway, the green stained glass window making my room a kaleidoscope of colour that complimented the colourful stone, my emerald bed frame glinting from the sun. I took off my robe and left it over the footboard of the bed before laying down on my unmade bed and sighed as I picked up my phone from the bedside table, sighing as I saw the texts from Silas.
I wasn’t fully ignoring him, I was texting him often, I just wasn’t telling him exactly what was going on because it wasn’t something I could fully explain to him. Because of the mate bond, it was very difficult and it hurt to hide things from him. I sighed and set my phone down, closing my eyes and bringing my blanket over me, tucking it under my chin as I lay on my side and look out the window.
I turned as my door opened and Blaze walked in, smirking as he saw me in bed and burrowed under my blankets. I watched him warily, noting the mischief in his eyes and the way he oozes sensuality. I envied that of him, wanting to do the same just so I could affect him that way as well. He always made me feel off-balance and like a blushing fool.
“Well well little mouse, don’t you look all cozy in there. Going to let me in to play?” he purred as he stalked towards the bed, looking sensual and predatory as his voice made my skin tingle and my insides churn. Feeling a surge of annoyance I decided to have some tense fun of my own. I looked at him with a small smirk and lifted the blanket a little for him to lay down.
“Come lay with me Balze. I want to feel your skin against mine.” I said softly, my voice a little breathy as my body got excited at the implication of pushing boundaries with Blaze. His red eyes glowed and his jaw clenched as my words registered with him, his chest rumbling in a deep purr like sound as he stalked towards the bed, climbing under the thick covers with me and immediately pulling me to him, our chests flush against one another as we lay facing each other.
“And you call me a tease little mouse. What is it that you are doing now?” His voice was a husky whisper as his warm hands traced all over my bare back, the dress completely exposing my entire back with the ties at my neck. His bare chest was warm under my hands and my stomach tightened from his proximity, his nostrils flaring and his eyes darkening as he scented my arousal.
“You started this between us first Blaze, I’m only giving you a taste of your own medicine.” I whispered, licking my lips as I stared at him, my breathing uneven from the dangerous game we were playing. His eyes flicked to my lips before going back to my face. His fingers played along the back of my dress, exploring the hem that sat just above my ass. My breath hitched from his touch and I could feel the power behind my gaze, knowing my emerald eyes must be glowing.
“I may have started it, yes, but now you are taking it to the very edge, playing with fire, little mouse. Can we stop before we’re consumed?” he asked as he untied the ties at my neck, the halter straps falling down my chest and exposing the tops of my breast to him. He growled deep in his throat and traced his fingers over the mounds of my breast, the fabric slipping down slightly with each pass of his fingers.
I gasped and dug my nails into his bareback, sighing with how pleasurable his touch felt, tingles erupting all over my skin. My eyes flutter closed and I licked my lips sighing as he leant forward and lightly skimmed his nose along my neck, my core hot and tight as my arousal flared. He took a deep breath as he inhaled my scent, his tongue flicking out and licking the hollow of my throat, searing the skin in the most pleasurable way as I clung to him. The buzzing of my phone was like cold water being poured on me, making me gasp and pull away from Blaze. I stared at him wide-eyed before taking a deep breath and picking up my phone, answering it without looking.
“Hello?”
“Kara. You’ll finally talk to me now without getting everyone else to give me your messages.” Silas’s voice was deep and angry over the line, making me sigh and run my hand through my hair.
“Silas, I haven’t been ignoring you maliciously. I’ve just had a lot going on and I’m not sure how to process it. Much less burden you with it. Don’t be angry with me mate, I need you to understand why I’ve been so distant.” I sigh and bite my lip as I look at Blaze. For a moment he looks angry and frustrated before sighing silently and laying back on my bed with his hands behind his head, watching me as I talk.
“Well I don’t understand Kara, you’re not talking to me, you’re only texting and I have no idea what's going on. I knew healing you would take time, but not over two weeks.” He huffed angrily. I sighed and flopped back on the bed, glaring up at the gold gauzy canopy.
“Silas please, there’s enough going on here that I don’t need this too. I will be home on Monday and then you will have all the answers you want. I just...it’s not a conversation that can be had over the phone or text.” I looked over at Blaze and smiled softly at him as he started to play with my hair, running his fingers through it slowly. I adjusted myself on the bed, the fabric rustling as I moved.
“What are you doing?” Silas asked curiously.
“I’m laying in bed, why?”
“With who?” he bit out, a bit of a growl in his voice.
“Why would I be in bed with anyone, you’re not here so who else would it be?” I scoffed and looked at Blaze, a playful grin on his face, causing me to roll my eyes.
“I felt it, you’re strong arousal. Who are you with?”
“Silas, I told you, I’m in bed. What would I be doing alone in bed that you would feel my arousal?” I said slowly, purposely not looking at Blaze as I spoke. He was quiet for a moment before he spoke again, his voice a little deeper.
“Continue, I wanna hear you come undone. I’ll even join you.” I blushed bright red and glanced over at Blaze, a predatory and hungry smirk on his face as he could hear the entire conversation. I bit my lip and shivered lightly as he nodded and mouthed ‘do it’.
“Silas I can’t now. I ran out of time. I have to be somewhere right away and I should really wash the smell of this off my skin. Even though I didn’t get far it’s still a noticeable scent to dragons.” He growled over the line and I rolled my eyes slightly.
“Fine. Will you call me tonight?” he asked, his voice hopeful.
“If I have the time. Most likely It’ll just be texts till I’m home again. Please be patient with me my dear.” I said softly as I sat up, bringing my knees up and resting my chest against them. He sighs and I hear some movement before he talks again.
“Fine, I understand my love. I will see you on Monday.” he sighed again as did I before saying goodbye and hanging up. I groaned and tossed the phone on the bedside table and flopped back onto the bed with a groan and let my legs flop down as well.
Blaze turned on his side to face me, his head resting on his hand and a grin on his face as he reached over and traced the fabric of my dress along my chest, my boobs dangerously close to spilling out and being on full display. I blushed bright red before grinning at him a little mischievously and quickly moving, hiking my dress up and straddling him. His eyes widened in surprise before his hands moved to my hips and I smirked at him as I retied the ties of my halter dress.
“You’ve started us on a very dangerous game path Blaze. We’re playing with fire and you know it.” I said as I looked down at him, my hands coming to rest against his bare chest, feeling his heart rapidly beating under my hands.
“I’m a dragon, little mouse, I love playing with fire.” He purred as he gripped my hips and rolled so I was under him, gasping as he leant down and ran his nose along mine, causing my breath to hitch and my cheeks to flush.
“Are we interrupting something?” Cadmus spoke from the doorway, making both of us turn. He and Magnus were in the doorway, both shirtless and in jeans instead of cotton pants. Just as I said no, Blaze said yes and pressed himself into me more causing me to gasp and my scent to flare in the room again. I shivered as all 3 males' eyes darkened and the sexual tension in the room skyrocketed. I hit Blaze in the bare chest and pushed on him so he’d climb off of me. I climbed off the bed and took a deep breath to steady myself.“You four will be the death of me. You weren’t interrupting anything. Just Blaze initiating a dangerous game and an uncomfortable conversation with Silas.” I explained with a shrug. Cadmus came towards me and ran his hand over my cheek, cupping it and tilting my face up to look at him.“Are you alright
I woke the next morning to a combination of my phone buzzing, the bright sunlight, arms around my middle and the door opening as I smelt the scent of late-night dew, crisp night air and night blossoms, letting me know it was Brodryn and the smell of pancakes and coffee let me know he brought breakfast.I sat up and stretched, glancing at the phone and seeing a morning text from Silas. I sent him one back quickly before smiling and moving my feet so Brodryn could sit on the bed, smiling as he placed the tray of breakfast by my feet. Magnus stirred and then sat up, looking surprised that he had fallen asleep with me in bed. Despite how many times we hung out late at night, we've never fallen asleep in bed together.“Did I wake you little one?” Brodryn asked as he held out a cup of coffee. I shook my head and took a sip, smiling as Magnus reached
I stayed in the water and sighed at the warmth, moving from the seat in the rock and instead, floating in the pool, shivering at how exposed I was but at the same time I didn’t really care at the moment. I was just enjoying the water and the wind on my exposed skin. I floated with my eyes closed, my hair long and floating around me in a wild swirl. It had grown so much longer in the short time I’d been here. I was convinced it had something to do with the abundance of magic flowing in every inch of this place. It just made you feel...more alive. I was sure that when I finally did leave the island that I would feel a little bogged down with the invigorating magic suddenly gone. I wonder if that’s how Magnus felt whenever he left his home.“Well, now that is a view I shall cherish for all eternity Darling.” His voice purred from nearby, making me gasp and sink into the water, du
I was woken a few hours later to the sensation of a warm body holding mine from behind, fingers tracing softly along my shoulder and back, small soft kisses being placed on the skin. I shivered and hummed at the sensation, hearing a sensual chuckle behind me that rubbed against my skin like fur and I knew without looking it was Blaze. His voice and laughter always laced with a touch of sensual magic. “What are you doing in my bed Blaze?” I asked, my eyes still closed as I snuggled into my bed more. “Well I came to wake you for dinner of course.” he teased, again his voice a purr against my skin. “Typically to wake someone, you don’t climb into bed with them.” I chuckled as I stretched before turning to face Blaze, my eyes roaming over his bare chest. “Well, that way
“Well now, who is this beauty who seems to have captured my son’s attentions?” a commanding voice spoke for the doorway. I turned and saw a very tall strong man in the doorway. His hair was salt and pepper and hung around his shoulders in a nice wave. His face was stern but well-defined and aristocratic. He looked formidable but also extremely handsome. The epitome of a silver fox. His eyes were a deep blue, like the night sky and he carried himself like a man in charge, fitting as he was the king after all. “Father. I would like you to meet Kara Ravenfield or Yarrow. Kara, this is my father Callan Horne, King of the dragons.” I stood up and looked up at the king, giving a respectful bow before holding my hand for him to shake and gripping it firmly while doing so. He looked me up and down, giving me an assessing look before he nodded once and smiled brightly.
I was woken in the morning by the scent of coffee and midnight dew of crisp night air, stretching and sighing as I sat up and smiled at Brodryn as he stopped beside my bed and held the coffee cup out to me. I took it with a smile and sipped it, moaning in satisfaction from the taste. I handed the mug back and stepped out of bed, full-body stretching and grunting in pleasure from the various pops and cracks, the stiffness of sleep vanishing as I stretched. I stepped towards Brodryn and wrapped my arms around his middle, inhaling his scent as He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me, placing a soft kiss on the top of my head. His bare chest was warm under my head and the soft fabric of his black lounge pants brushed against the bare skin of my legs. “Good morning little one. Did you have a good sleep?” He asked as he pulled away enough to cup my cheek in his large hand, my face immediately nuzzling int
I took a hot shower and scrubbed every inch of my skin, making myself nice and sudsy before rinsing and stepping out, drying myself with a towel, one wrapped in my hair and made for the door before stopping as my hand touched the doorknob. I did not bring clothes in the bathroom with me, I would have to go out there in my towel and into my closet. Jeez, that's a disaster waiting to happen. I took a deep breath and opened the door before stepping out, looking at the brothers in surprise as they lounged in various spots along my room. Cadmus, sitting in the reading chair in the corner, Blaze and Magnus lounging on the bed and Brodryn sitting on my vanity chair. I looked at each man, holding their gaze and flushing slightly, a bright happy smile on my face and a warm happy feeling spreading through me. I was so very grateful to have them in my life, to have them care for me the way they did. I bit my lip and
“Darling, we’re over your pack. Time to wake up.” Magnus' voice woke me from a very deep slumber, a yawn leaving my lips the moment I opened my eyes. I sat up and held onto his neck spikes, shivering at the chill in my bare toes as we descended through the clouds, the pack lands coming into focus as Magnus made for the big open space of the training grounds, cries and shouts being heard as everyone caught sight of us. He descended in slow arcing moves till he lowered to the ground with a very grateful landing, dropping the bags to the side and allowing me to climb down. The moment my feet touched the ground he started to shift back so I turned with a blush and pulled out a pair of jeans from his bag and held them out to him. I turned to the gathered crowd as I saw the various looks of shock at seeing a dragon up close and spotted Varin in the front. He nodded in greeting before whistling and telling every
