Tracking Trisha (27 page)

Trisha’s dragon roared out with glee as she tackled her huge mate, knocking him over onto his back and gripping his front claws with hers. She reached down and bit his neck, breathing a small amount of dragon fire into his blood before she sprung away and circled around him.

“
Tag, you’re it.
”
Trisha’s dragon crowed swinging her tail back and forth seductively.

Kelan’s dragon growled low as he rolled back on to his feet. The bite on his neck seeped a small amount of blood, calling to Trisha as she watched it well up before a tiny line ran down. Kelan watched as his mate moved a short distance from him. Water glistened like diamonds on her scales, casting millions of brilliant, colorful reflections off the beautiful body of her dragon. She turned her back to him, swishing her tail back and forth while she looked over her shoulder at him.

“Y
ou st
are
all day or you play?
”
Trisha’s dragon purred to her mate.

Oh boy,
Trisha thought as she stared at the flames burning in the eyes of the huge dragon staring back at her. She really hoped her dragon knew what she was doing.
You do, don’t you
?
Trisha whispered
uncertainly
.

Kelan’s blood flared at his mate’s challenge. She was teasing him, daring him, taunting him to come after her…to capture her and take her in the most primal way. He watched as she swept her tail back and forth slowly, lifting it every once in a while. Kelan felt the rumble of a purr start as he imagined what it was going to be like to finally be totally sated. His eyes drooped as he watched his mate lower her head and raise her tail a little higher in invitation. The huge male dragon could not resist such an offer. He moved towards the females with determination. He wanted to fuck his mate. Kelan felt the muscles in his dragon’s back legs tense as he prepared to pounce on the smaller female. He knew better than to deny him his mate. He had waited long enough. The huge male lifted his head and roared as he sprung forward to capture his female.

Trisha’s dragon contained a little more guts than she ever would, Trisha decided. She was taunting the huge male, teasing him into a frenzy of desire. It was worst than wearing red to the running of the bulls, Trisha decided. The little female dragon just laughed as she swept up into the sky just as the huge male sprung forward. She even had the nerve to tap the big male on the cheek with her tail as she shot straight up pumping her powerful wings in an effort to gain enough height he couldn’t grab her. Trisha felt the exhilaration of the chase as she moved through the small meadow, landing in a nearby tree along the edge. She watched as the males turned in a tight circle before launching off the ground with a deep growl of warning. She knew they would catch her this time and she knew she would let them. She wanted to be completed. She wanted to become one with Kelan more than she wanted anything else in the universe. She leaped off the branch swooping down trying to get under the males as they flew at her. The last thing she expected was for Kelan’s dragon to reach out with his tail and wrap it under her belly, tossing her up into the air above him. The move caused her to tumble in mid-air over and over, disorienting her. Trisha’s dragon let out a startled cry as she felt herself falling.

Kelan’s dragon spun around in a tight circle as his mate leaped up in the air away from him. He snapped at the tail that brushed his cheek trying to get some type of hold on the frustrating female he wanted to claim. He choked back a laugh as he thought of how much fun he was having and how perfect his mate was for him. He would have been bored with a mate who was not a challenge. His little dragon would always keep him guessing. The huge male even admitted Kelan was right, the females did not like to be told what to do. He would have to remember that whenever he wanted to stir up the fire in her eyes. He would just also have to be prepared for the consequences. He watched carefully as his little mate landed in a tall tree on the edge of the meadow. She stood there, letting out delicate, sexy little coughs and swishing her tail back and forth, almost daring him to try and come get her. The huge male’s eyes drooped a little as he thought about what he would like to do with that tail when he caught her.

Kelan’s dragon decided it was time to claim his mate once and for all. With a deep growl, he launched off the ground. He was more experienced in dragon form and anticipated the moves his little mate might make. When she swooped down out of the tree intending to duck under him, he waited until the last possible second to reach out with his thick tail and wrap it around her. With a flick, he sent her upward so he could maneuver until he was under her. As she started to tumble back down, he caught her cry of fear. He used that to his advantage as he caught her to his powerful body using his front and back claws to grab her. The little dragon clung to him in fear, her little heart racing as she tried to reorient herself before she hit the ground. Instead of hitting the ground, Kelan’s dragon wrapped his tail around hers pulling her even closer until he could impale himself in her hot core. He let out a loud groan as he felt himself slide even deeper with each downward stroke of his wings. Bending forward, the huge male warned the smaller female of his intentions before he bit down on her neck and breathed the dragon’s fire into her.

“I claim you
.
M
y mate.
Yes
?”
The jade and silver dragon of Kelan groaned out to Trisha’s smaller one.

“Yes. My mate. You tag me…always.”
Trisha’s dragon replied, letting her smaller head fall back so the sleek line of her throat was offered in submission.

Kelan’s dragon lowered their entwined bodies down into the thick purple grass never parting his hold on the small, delicate female under him. He continued to breathe the hot fire of his desire into her as he rocked back and forth. He wrapped his tail tightly around hers making sure she was pinned as he claimed her over and over, letting his hot seed pour into her welcoming body. When he freed her neck to roar out his release, he felt the smaller body of the dragon under him stiffening before she let out a series of soft coughing noises, her body closing around his and holding him to her while her body milked his.

“
My mate. My mate. Love my mate.
”
Trisha’s dragon coughed out as her small body spasm.

The huge male looked down where he held his smaller mate trapped under him feeling the love for her welled up and burst through his huge body until he shook with the intensity of it. He would always protect her. He would kill anyone who ever tried to harm her or their child. She was the fire of his blood. The feelings rushing through the huge dragon were so intense he felt his cock harden deep inside the female and coughed out a loud groan as he felt more of his seed flood into her. He wanted his scent so deep there would never be a doubt as to who this peculiar female belonged to.

Trisha was exhausted by the time they reached the palace. It was well after midnight before they landed on the balcony outside of their living quarters. They planned to return sooner but it seemed that both Kelan and his dragon was determined to keep their mates in their line of sight at all times due to the little issue of having to chase them down. Unfortunately, line of sight usually meant being ahead of him which is what seemed to cause the problem. Whenever Trisha’s dragon was ahead of the huge male it meant he was staring at her tail which seemed to turn him on. More than once, Trisha’s dragon found herself pinned from behind with a huge male buried deep inside her, not that her dragon was complaining at all. Trisha never knew she could be such a horny little slut! Once their dragons were done, it was Kelan and Trisha’s turn. They stopped to rest at least four times on the way back and every time they shifted back to their two-legged form, Kelan would have her down on the soft grass, bent of a limb…well, okay, two out of the four times it was her tackling Kelan but hey, fair was fair. Now, all she could think of was a hot shower and a soft bed. Even the hot shower wasn’t a perquisite since their last stop ended with them making love in one of the many streams that ran through the forests. Trisha decided bed was more important as she wobbled on unsteady legs.

Kelan wrapped his arms around Trisha as she stumbled. She was a natural at transforming to her dragon now and he was amazed at her flying skills. Valdier warriors learned to transform into their dragons at an early age. After their first transformation, they were taught by the more experienced warriors on the art of flying and defense. Not all Valdier males transformed. It was not necessary. There was an increase in the number of males who could during the Three Wars. Their scientists believed it was due to the need for more warriors to protect the females and fight for their species. But since the war and the decrease in available females who were true mates, the number was on the decline again.

Kelan gently laid Trisha’s sleeping form in their big bed, carefully undressing her. He let his fingers run through the tangle of long curls, spreading them out across his pillows the way he liked. Even in sleep Trisha turned towards the heat of his hand, seeking his touch. Kelan took a deep breath soaking in the combined scent of his and his mate. He gently touched the dragon’s mark on her neck in reverence.

My mate beautiful.
Kelan’s dragon said with a contented sigh. The big male was finally sated.

Yes, our mate is beautiful.
Kelan replied silently, still staring down at Trisha’s relaxed form.

Kelan started when he heard a light knock on the outer door. Calling to his symbiosis, he instructed it to watch over their sleeping mate. The golden creature shifted into the shape of a huge dog and jumped up on the bed. It turned several times before laying down next to her. Satisfied his mate would be safe, Kelan stood up and walked into their living quarters. He was shocked when he saw Mandra standing outside looking grim.

“What is it?” Kelan asked knowing immediately something bad had happened.

“Trelon and his mate were attacked yesterday by Curizan skimmers.” Mandra said quietly.

Kelan looked at his brother’s face and felt his heart skip a beat. “Is he…are they…” Kelan began.

Mandra was shaking his head. “Trelon is hurt badly but will recover. Creon believes he has found Trelon’s tiny mate, Cara, but is unsure if she survived the attack. Trelon is still unconscious. I know you two are very close and hoped you could be with him when he awakes. He will not be happy when he finds his mate may not have survived.” Mandra finished roughly.

Kelan nodded. He sent a message to his symbiosis to take care and protect their mate. It replied with a wave of warmth. Mandra quietly explained what happened to him while they walked to Trelon’s living quarters where his symbiosis and the healers were working on repairing the damage done to Trelon’s body. He couldn’t help but think of Trelon’s tiny mate. How could anyone want to hurt something so precious? Okay, so he thought about it a time or two on board the
V’ager
when she was doing all her little experiments but it wasn’t like he would ever have really done anything. Even he admitted she was just too damn cute to hurt. His only hope was she was also resourceful and fast.

Trisha woke late the next morning. She let her hand stretch out to feel for Kelan, sitting up when all she encountered was cool, smooth sheets. She frowned as she looked at the side of the bed which had obviously not been slept in.

“Kelan?” Trisha called out into the silence of their living quarters.

Her hand went to her throat as doubts assailed her. What if he changed his mind? What if all he wanted to do was trick her into coming back? No sooner had the thoughts formed in her mind then she pushed them away. Kelan was NOT Peter. Kelan loved her, really loved her. He didn’t just want to use her. Trisha started when she found herself being pushed back by a massive gold head. When she was trapped flat against the pillows, Bio stood above her in the shape of a huge cat and stared down at her intensely before letting its huge tongue go to work on her face. Trisha squealed as the huge, golden tongue lapped at her face and shoulders causing her to giggle uncontrollable.
