Alexa's Dragon (Dragon mates Book 1) (20 page)

He rolled her over onto her back and leveraged himself over her looking down. Her hand came up to trace his mouth.

“You’re so handsome.”

“I’m ok, Love, the real beauty rests on you.” Lowering his head, he pressed his lips to her giving her a closed mouth kiss before he tugged on her bottom lip seeking entry.

She hungrily opened up to him allowing his tongue to sweep in starting the trip to paradise.

He fanned her hair out along the pillow before starting to place tiny kisses along her jaw then her neck. Slowly he sensitized her skin to his touch, watching as she moved restlessly below him.

Her hands came up to his back, the edge of her nails scraped down drawing noises of encouragement from him as the pads of her fingers followed up to his neck.

“I love the muscles in your back. Every day I’m filled with wonder that you’re really mine.”

She ran her hand down his spine listening to the tiny breaths he sucked in letting her know how she affected him.

“What do you like, Syn?” Her fingers clutched at his rear, her nails making tiny groves in him just enough to make the lobes of his ass tighten and bring a delighted sound from her lips.

“You. I like you. The way you touch me and tease me.”

He placed a stinging kiss at the base of her throat before he sucked the skin in, leaving a small mark to let the world know he had been there. He kissed down her chest until he came to her nipples.

She sucked in a big breath before his mouth opened and his tongue began to lick the hardened peak.

I love this was the thought that rolled around her head as her nipple got harder. Throbs of pleasure, that sometimes bordered on pain because they were that intense, snaked through her body making her open her mouth on keening sounds of need.

Syn’s mouth engulfed her nipple making her hips push up seeking, always seeking more. He made a rumble that went through the nipple he was sucking. His other hand came up to tease her other breast, rolling it in his hands.

Her head was thrown back now because she was so sensitive. She wanted more. She arched up into his touch urging him on to suck a little harder, knead her breast a little longer. All she wanted was more of what he was giving her.

He nipped her nipple between his teeth and her head swayed back and forth on the bed as a moan of pleasure came from her. Finding the sound fascinating, he did it again, driving her crazy.

He rubbed his hand down her stomach petting her, allowing her to back away from the edge she was on. She slowly came down enough to realize she was gently floating. That’s when his hand went to her clit flicking it with his thumb.

Her hips punched up again with need. Placing two fingers in his mouth, getting them nice and wet, he went to work on her clit. Rubbing it between his fingers, pinching it, making her higher than a kite. Sliding his fingers down, he caressed her slit just barely teasing the lips.

“Syn.” Her voice came out in a choked demand.

He slid a finger in her as she rode it.

“More, Love?”

“Yes.”

He slid another one in, pumping in and out opening her wide until she had room for a third. Her voice was one strangled sound after another. Her hips thrust up as he looked for release. He twisted his hand just enough so he could reach her clit too and ground down on it. Her body went taut with a cry then she shook with pleasure as she flew apart unable to control herself.

He rode every wave of it, whispering in her ear how much he loved her. She finally came to a landing with a smile of satisfaction on her face.

Alexa reached down and let her finger play over Syn’s hard cock. It jumped as she touched him. The head was leaking and all she wanted to do was feel that hardness deep within her.

“Dragon ruler, shouldn’t we take care of this?” she whispered in his ear with a husky laugh. “You feeling up to a game of hide and seek.”

“I know how tired you get, and I don’t want to wear you out.”

“Oh no you didn’t…” She moved over him pushing him back to his back as she crawled over him.

“I’ll hide,” she whispered, “you seek.” She moved her hips up until the tip of his cock was touching her entrance. In one smooth move, she took several inches deep within her, stopping all playtime as they both gasped.

She could feel the wall of her pussy sucking him in deeper as a harsh groan came from her lips. She clenched around him tight, bringing a growl from his lips.

“You’re so tight.”

“Yeah? Do you like it?”

He clutched her hips and slid in deeper, robbing her of a voice as she rode him.

“I definitely like it.” His voice caressed her as she shivered more.

One last plunge and he was buried deep inside of her. Her voice rang out with it as his movements increased. She wanted every last drop of him. She was so greedy for it.

Holding her hips steady, he flipped her. Now he was plunging into her making her eyes see double. The way he pounded deeply into her was setting her up for a blissful journey.

“Alexa,” her name on his lips made her look up. “Are you ready?”

“Yes, please Syn.”

He nodded and watched her eyes as he pumped into her one, two three more times before she went flying. Her voice came out in a low groan that went through his body, as her need was made known. Then his body flew apart. He leaned over and bit her on her shoulder as his world dissolved into hers.

She floated with a languid feeling. There was nothing wrong in her world; all she needed to do was ease down into sleep. That made the startling pull on her body that much more devastating. Her body tensed up looking for something ready to attack her but there was nothing just the weariness she now felt.

Pulling herself together was harder than she thought it would be. The desire to reach for the lazy feeling of completion was still holding on to her but something was happening. Where was she?

She was standing on a cold surface. Looking down she realized she was naked. That was easy to fix; a thought of clothes saw her dressed and her feet covered in a pair of boots. If she could do this for real, her life would be so much more fun.

“I rather preferred you naked.” Syn stepped out of the shadows causing her breath to catch. It was her Syn but he was different, darker.

“Where are we?”

“You accepted the mate bond, now comes the power challenge.”

“Say what? Don’t you think you should have told me about this before you went all sharp teeth on me and bit me?”

“Nope, this is the perfect time to tell you. Your power is in this room. Power you will need; all you have to do is identify it.”

“That’s easy. Its blue. I remember from the time we melded.”

“Bit of advice, Love. Nothing’s ever that easy. Take your time, pick correctly because in the end whatever you choose will be yours for all eternity.”

With a sound of disgust, she turned her head to see a vast amount of power in all the colors of the rainbow and so many different shades of blue she’d go crazy trying to match the correct color to the one she had seen only once.

It looked like she was in a large labyrinth. There were wide-open spaces with huge crates lined up making corridors and other smaller spaces that she wasn’t sure she would be able to fit into.

“What am I supposed to do, hunt them down?”

“Perfect, I knew you didn’t need me to tell you.” He turned and was carried up to a large dais where he was set on a throne next to several parts of the power in the room.

She turned to look at the power that was illuminating the room in muted shades of color. Some of it looked like actual bolts of lightning. Others looked like slivers of electricity that would fry her with a single touch and still more had a snake like quality. None of it looked friendly enough for her to want to reach out and touch.

All she wanted was it to be over. Taking one last look at Syn, she turned her head and headed towards a blue bolt reaching out. It bolted out of the way and so did everything else. It disappeared into the labyrinth. The power sparked and escaped into it making her stalk after it.

She was pissed. Worse yet she was pissed at herself. Syn was a dragon more than a few thousand years old. What made her think this mysterious power he kept for her all these years would just willingly fall into her trembling fingers?

Running her hands over her body, she discovered she had several weapons, not that she knew how to use them. A huge sigh came out. It was the old-fashioned way or nothing. Standing at a split, she had to decide right or left. Where was an Oracle when you needed one?

Moving to the left, she saw a cluster of blue bolts of lightning up ahead and smiled. She chased them down the corridor until she had two pinned against the back one. Grabbing for one her fingers just missed it before it shot its way between her open legs. That left one. Reaching inside of herself, she found a shield. With shaking thoughts, she realized she threw a shield and could use her body to block its escape. She could trap the last bolt of power.

The need to give an excited shout about being able to do something like that almost made her lose control of the shield. This is close to what Syn had done when he saved her before. She really was his mate. Now all she had to do was reach for the power.

Whatever you choose will be yours for all eternity.
Syn’s voice whispered seductively through her shield. With a sad sigh, she pulled in her shield and walked away. That bolt of power could have gotten away from her at any time. The fact that it didn’t even try bothered her.

She walked the different paths of the corridors just looking as all manner of different colored power came before her to tease her. There was no rise, no desire to make it hers until she caught a sight of a flick of power. It was the tiniest she had seen so far; in fact, she almost missed it in its smallness.

Her mind told her no, it would be weak, but she was drawn to it.
I know you’ll chose red. Red. Red.
How many times had the Oracles said Red to her? It was the only red power she’d seen in the labyrinth. With a smile she went after it. It flew down an aisle winking out as it turned a corner. She ran after it exerting herself, knowing for once what she wanted and determined to get it.

It sat there mocking her as she turned the corner. She could see laughter in it although she wasn’t sure how. Alexa scaled the one wall that kept her from seeing the whole maze. The higher she climbed, the higher the wall grew. Without thought, she threw herself at her power hoping to trap it between herself and the floor. She was higher and was falling with more speed than she thought she would. This was going to hurt.

The power, her power zipped around her body slowing her down until she came to rest on her feet. There was the buzz of power she felt it hovering around her combining with a warmth that promised she’d never be cold again. The power called to her on levels of need that she never knew existed within her. Then it asked a question she heard with her mind not her ears.

“Do you choose me?”

“Yes.”

It entered her in a rush of tangled feeling. Heat rose through her making her swipe at her forehead as her body exploded in a thousand fireworks and still the heat came. Falling to her knees, she gasped for breath somehow hoping to cool herself as the power continued to burn her up from the inside. Giving her body up, she laid on the cool surface of the floor as she was totally engulfed in a flame.

It may have been days or years but was probably only minutes because her body could only take so much before she had the presence of mind to open her eyes. She was different; she could feel it down to her very tired soul. Alexa Graham was no more. Standing to her feet, she felt power zing through her body without the heat this time.

Looking at the labyrinth before her, she could see a clear path to where Syn was sitting. In no time at all she was standing before him. He gestured to a chair that appeared at his right. With a smile, she climbed up and sat behind him.

“It was the red.”

“I thought so. If the Oracles said that color one more time, I thought I might have to ban them away from you until this was done.”

“You knew?”

“No, I suspected.”

“What do we do now?” she gave a big yawn.

“Going back to our bodies and getting some sleep sounds like a good idea.”

“Lead the way.”

*~*~*~*

“You’ve failed. She mated with the dragon and has come into her power.” The dark words of Mutufa whispered in the room.

The figure in the bed sat up, confident that nothing would stop them.

“It is just a minor setback. We knew this may happen and have several contingency plans in place.”

“Did we? Or maybe you are a little too happy out there while I rot away on this plane.”

“Relax, I will get you free and you know it.”

The figure on the bed stretched and got up.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m going to see what her power level is, while they sleep, which is what I was going to do before you projected yourself into my bedroom.”

Mutufa hovered closer; he was nothing but a dark shadow unable to hurt the figure before him, but soon that would all change.

A bowl of water sat in front of them. A hand rose to wave over it and a film of red came into clear view.

“She’s a red? How would she even know to go for it.”

“I’m sure we both know how, but we won’t even think of them.”

As long as their names didn’t cross their minds, they would stay off the Oracles’ radar. Soon it wouldn’t matter, everyone would know who they were, but not yet.

“Don’t worry; she has now become the sacrifice we need. The amount of power she carries within her has made her perfect. Soon there will be no dragons and no dragon mates.”

Mutufa smiled, the faint of heart wouldn’t be standing after seeing that. “Make sure you keep your word. It is guaranteed I will be keeping mine.”

He disappeared out of the room allowing the warm air to penetrate the coldness he carried with him.

The figure in the room made it to the bed before slouching against the headboard. Mutufa was getting harder to manage and what would happen when he was free was becoming a worry. It didn’t matter, in the end it would be handled.
