Dream Warrior: (Dark Warrior Alliance Book 1) (31 page)

*****

Millions of tiny, white lights sparkled in the solarium, around the pool, and in the trees of the backyard. Staff milled about busily, and within minutes, a buffet was on the table and a band, the Night Crawlers, had set up and was playing music.

“Shall we,
a ghra?”
Zander led her to the buffet.

“As much as I want to rush to our bed, we should eat first. You will need your energy later,” she squeezed his hand, and felt her heart melting even more for her king. She hadn’t believed in fate or destiny before, but she had no doubt that she was
fated
to be Zander’s mate. Her place was always meant to be by his side.

Zander filled her plate, and then spent she next few hours eating, drinking and dancing with the Dark Warriors and various council members. All the while, the sexual tension in her body continuously rose as she imagined what the night had in store.

No longer able to wait, she grabbed Zander’s hand. “Let’s go,” she whispered in his ear and hauled him towards the stairs to their bedroom.

Clothing hit the floor as they made their way upstairs. When they reached the rooms they’d been sharing since her rescue, he was bare, but for his socks and Ghillies. Question answered, they don’t wear anything under their kilts. And he was a spectacular male specimen!

“Your turn,” he rumbled in her ear. She squealed and ran toward the bed. He tackled her mid-leap and twisted, so he took the landing. Somehow, her dress had been ripped off in the process, and lay in tatters on the floor.

“Damn, I liked that dress…mmm.” Thoughts scattered as he nipped and nibbled his way down her neck and she gasped as he sliced through her silk panties with his razor-sharp fangs. Before she opened her mouth to admonish him, his fangs had sunk into her intimate flesh and she was climaxing.

“Do…we need…to do…a blood…exchange?” She asked between panting breaths. He was so sexy as he prowled up from between her legs. And, so aroused. His cock stood out against his stomach.

“Aye, it seals the mating. We take from each other at the same time, while we are joined. Are you ready,
a ghra
?” he asked as he removed her bra.

She fell in love all over again as he poised between her thighs. “Yes, Zander, take me, now,” she cried out.

That was all he needed and plunged into her to the hilt, in one swift thrust. She felt her eyes glowing brightly as their gazes locked. She saw their full, happy life together reflected in his depths. Her fangs shot out and she heard him suck in a sharp breath. He enjoyed her bite. She bit into the nape of his neck where it met his broad shoulder while his fangs sunk into her shoulder. Their bodies exploded into the most intense orgasm of her life.

Light exploded through her and her entire body tingled with magic. She felt him shudder his release and arch his back, pressing his chest into her. The ribbon she had seen earlier binding them together expanded with every draw they took of each other’s blood. The golden glow transformed into a million, tiny, gold chains, linking him to her from every point of his body. It formed a cocoon around them and seeped into their pores. Intense emotions overwhelmed her as she felt the change within and their closeness intensified. She could see how much he loved her, and felt his pleasure, as his orgasm raged on. She was thankful for her new immortality because she never would’ve survived the night his body was demanding.

The sorcery of the mating took hold and irrevocably altered him. He felt their entwined souls swell once again. He took in the bond encompassing them and relished experiencing how she felt about him. He was transformed as new powers surged from his Fated Mate into him. Mates always shared a portion of their abilities, and while he was aware that she had inherited additional powers during her transformation, he didn’t think those powers would be bestowed upon him during their mating, but he could feel new magic filling him.

Tingles erupted into flames over his mate mark between his shoulder blades. “My mark. Och, it burns. What does it look like?” He twisted to catch a glimpse of his back.

“Stop moving, let me see,” she looked over his shoulder and gasped. “You have the same circle surrounding the body of your cross. We match and now it’s inked into your skin. You are mine in every way,” she told him fiercely.

“Always.” The surge of magic sent his libido skyrocketing. His body took on a mind of its own, and intended to take his little mate in ways she had never dreamed. He groaned, “My mate,” and gave himself over to passion.

The night was incredible, his mate was incredible, and he was
truly
complete for the first time in his life. They were two halves of one heart, and shared an intense bond. It went beyond mere love or lust.

After hours of blissful love making, his mate blinked sleepily at him. He would let her rest before he took her again. “Sleep,
a ghra,
” he whispered.

“Mr. Bossy Pants,” she muttered as she drifted off to a peaceful, sated sleep.

He pulled her sleeping form closer to his heart. He brushed her brown curls from her beautiful face. She sighed and snuggled closer into his chest. He had never dreamed of being gifted with such a mate. She was simply perfect.

He lay there for hours gazing at his queen and knew the moment she dreamt. He wondered what was happening in her clever mind. Her eyes roved wildly behind her closed lids, and she tossed and turned. As he was about to join her dream, her eyes flew wide and she sat up, gasping for air.

“Oh my God, Cailyn!”
