Fated - Book 1 (Completed)

Chapter 21

Thunder and lightning rolled over the hills in the south; the skies had been grey and crying for a week now; the cold winds rolled in every few minutes, cooling down the southern lands as its usual storm season started to roll in.The castle was filled with life despite the gloomy weather outside. I have been awake for a week now. My family sadly left a day ago. My siblings spent every second with me while my father was drinking with the king.My mother and husband have spent the week helping Apollo with her criminal charges, while Queen Diona spent the time fixing her daughter's family status and fighting with the council to have her re-instated as a dragon princess.Apollo had spent her free time with me, telling me stories and bringing me new books, as I was ordered to stay in bed a while longer as my wound healed. Today was the first time that I had the room to myself, and I found myself in the library with a worn-out book in my hands.The small fireplace was burning with a bright red flame that kept the room warm while it stormed outside. I had a soft throwover wrapped around me, shielding me from the cold winds that rolled through the doorless archway."That was my favourite book as a child."His sudden voice startled me. The sight of my semi-nude husband made my breath catch in my throat. His hair was soaking wet and starting to curl slightly, with some strands dangling over his forehead.He was shirtless, with a towel wrapped around his waist. Steam rolled off his body as he stood there watching me. He was lazily leaning against the archway that led to our room, his bright blue eyes watching me with amusement."I was curious about its story as the cover is worn out and the ink is starting to fade."I pulled my legs in tighter to my body as I closed the book to study its fading cover. A faint smile crossed my lips as I pictured a young Artemis reading the book at late hours with a dim light."It's the story of Endora's creator and how he used his dragon's body to create our world."He stood there, still watching me, keeping his distance."The only time I have ever heard about this story was when travellers and traders from the South came to the North. They would sit around the fire and use this strange powder to make the flames dance while they told the story."The fond memory danced in my mind, making my smile grow."It was the first book I learned to read; my mother would read it to us every night, but once I could read, it was the only thing I ever bothered to take an interest in."I looked up at the man as he made his way towards me. Warm fingers traced my cheek, followed by warm lips pressed to my head."You smell sweet; how was your bath?"A heavy chuckle left his lips at my broken whisper."Lonely.""Well, aren't you a silly man for not taking me with you?"I pushed up against his lips; his warmth radiated off of him. It was welcoming and tempting."Your right, I am a silly, silly man."He pressed his lips against my forehead once again before pulling away. My eyes shot up to look at him as my lips pursed and pouted as I wanted more from him."How do you feel today, my princess?"He stood over me as his thumb traced my bottom lip, his blue eyes dancing over my face, and he studied my features. This had been the most time that we had spent together since I woke up."Better, I'm just sick of the bed, so I have spent most of the day on the sofa."The pad of his thumb was soft against my lips as I spoke, and my teeth grazed over the centre of his digit, making him smile once again down at me."Would you like to continue reading your book, or should I carry you to bed?"He crouched down beside the sofa, leaving my lip to rest his hand on the lip of the cushion where I sat. He was lower than me now, allowing me to look into his bright blue eyes."Can I stay here just a little longer?"I pleaded with a slight wine; his lips curled into a wider smile as his hands snaked around my legs. With simple ease, he twisted me in the seat, pulling the thin blanket off of me and letting it fall to the floor under us."Do you mind reading to me, my princess?"His fingers lazily wrapped around my knees. He leaned in and pressed his lips against my knees. I was baffled at his request, and after a slight hesitation, I opened the book to the last page I was on.My eyes adjusted to the small handwritten font on the brown pages. I quickly scanned the page and found the last word I remember reading: his hands gently pulled my knees slightly apart so that he could place light kisses on the inside of my knee."The Creator, Lief, was alone, the last of his kind that roamed the skies beyond our world."Lips started to lightly trail up my inner thigh as I read on, and my words stuttered at his warmth gliding up. As soon as I stopped, his kisses did too, but he never pulled away. I could feel his warm breath where his lips were a few seconds ago."He roamed the darkness for centuries, searching, looking for anything to still the fire burning at his soul."The kisses started again, this time rising higher, making me whimper with excitement as I tried to read the next line of the book.""Lief-Lief wasn't truly alone; no, the creator, don't stop."I muttered as I felt his lips trace my silk garments, which kept my lips away from his."Then don't stop reading, princess."His voice was muted, but I felt every vibration of his voice roll up my body. I was pleased to be wearing one of his dress shirts as his fingers lazily traced my outer thighs and stopped at my hips.I drew in a sharp breath as I tried my utter best to focus on the small writing that clung to the brown pages."Lief wasn't truly alone; no, the creator had a companion that never spoke a word."I moaned between my words as his tongue trailed up and down, trying to find the place where my lips split, but as I stopped, so did he."His companion was a s-serpent, its colour was that of a shimmering black, no."He slightly pulled away, making me think he was stopping. Then I felt his finger pulling at the material and pulling it away to expose my slightly wet lips. Without a word, his hands gently pulled on my hips, pulling me down the sofa slightly."Should I stop my princess?"I shook my head and turned my eyes back to the pages, trying to scan for the last thing I read."A shimmering black that changed colour as the beast slivered through the nothingness."A croaked moan left my lips as the tip of his tongue wiggled into me. His warm breath and wet tongue made my excitement rise quicker than usual. It has been a while since I have felt his tongue, but as my words stopped, so did his actions."Nothingness. Despite the world being cold, vast, and empty,"A finger pressed into me suddenly, making me drop my book. My hands darted for his hair so that I could gently pull on his wet strands."Don't stop my dragon."A vibration rolled through me as he let out a low growl. His tongue expertly swirled over my clit as he began to gently suckle on the small, erect part. His fingers wiggled deeper into me before twisting slightly so that he could scoop at my insides.I fixed the book to stop it from gliding down off the sofa as I was tugged once again, this time my knees were tugged over his shoulders, his fingers dug into my thighs, and he started to kiss at my lopsided lips.The sound of his lips smacking mine filled the room, and his tongue silently danced over my folds before digging into me. My fingers locked with his hair as I pulled on him, begging him to go deeper, which he did.His tongue went in as deep as it could go; his mouth had taken over my pussy, as he tried to dig in deeper. Once he was deep enough, his tongue danced inside of me, and the tip traced every possible space it could reach.My back arched as I let out a long moan, and the warmth of his body rose as I pulled harder on his hair. The sensation of his tongue was tantalising, but I preferred his pierced member or even his fingers, as they could reach all of my secret spots.Another growl left his lips; it vibrated through me as I pulled harder on his hair. My hips rolled into his face as I whimpered, wanting more of him. As soon as I let out a whimpering moan, he started to pull away quickly.Eager, he pulled me off the sofa and swung my legs around his waist before taking my place on the sofa. His hands glided and pulled at me, adjusting me to sit comfortably on his lap. His member was fully erect as it sat between us, covered by the only piece of material that clung to my husband's hips with dear life.My lips caught him as soon as I was comfortable. The kiss was salty and overly heated as our tongues fought to be in control. Slowly, he lowered his voice and allowed me to take over his mouth. I took the opportunity and explored his mouth with excitement as I deepened our kiss.My body rose slightly as I pushed myself up onto my kiss, giving me the upper hand in making our kiss last longer. My fingers danced down to his neck, where I could trace them down to his throat, making the man under me hum with a moan.Despite my power, he found a way to part our lips from our kiss, neither of us moving as our breathing filled the air around us."Are you done, princess?"His voice was a musky whisper, and his question made me frown. I wanted to argue, but I was too comfortable where I sat."I want to wear you like a very tight glove."His words made my cheeks burn, and then I felt it. His fingers were tugging at my silk undergarments as he fought to have them removed. With shaky legs, I pulled myself up to my feet, using his head to help me keep my balance. His warm hands eagerly pulled the material down to my knees.With several shaking movements, I was able to balance on one leg and slip the cloth over my foot. His hands held me tight while he sat under me. With bright blue eyes watching me and a sparkle of amusement dancing in them, I couldn't help but smile at him.Once one leg was free, I was pulled back into his lap. This time, I could feel his erection; his tip was being held up as his other hand guided my hips to line up perfectly before he allowed me to sit down."Go slow, and don't forget to moan; I want you to feel every inch of me."My fingers darted from his hair once again. Locking fingers helped me hold his head in place as I pressed our lips together once again. Doing as he asked, I slipped down slowly. I felt every one of his piercings, and I moaned into his lips as I did so.He vibrated under me, his hands digging deep into my hips as he guided me down. Once I was at my physical limit, he held onto my hips, keeping me still and steady."Just like a tight little glove."I whispered against his lips; his lips curled up into a sadistic grin."You have come far, my princess; you take most of me with ease, so tell me, are you ready to ride your dragon?"I nodded eagerly at his question, and without skipping a beat, he released my hips and swung his arms back, locking his fingers behind his head as he rolled his head back slightly."What are you waiting for, princess? Ride me like you own me."With his words, I pressed my lips to his lightly and began to bounce up and down slowly. With these simple movements, my body pulled tighter around him. I was wound up and aching to feel him, but I didn't want my first orgasm, not just yet.My movements were slow, but I tried to slow them down to avoid having that first release, but it was still there. It was so close, and I was aching for it, but I didn't want him to leave once I was done.Warm hands slithered around my hips as his warm body shifted under me, and his lips were warm as he growled into my ear."Fuck me, princess; give me a reason to take you back to our bed and make you scream like you deserve it."His words made me melt, but I still hesitated as I bit my lower lip hard."I don't want my release now; I want to spend more time with you, my dragon."The body under me tensed slightly, and the member inside of me twitched as the warmth of his body rose. A hand darted from my hair and pulled hard, forcing my head to roll back, exposing my neck to him."Be a good fucking girl and ride me so that I can fuck you harder on our bed, and princess?"I hummed as my body tightened around him."I plan on taking a month's worth of frustration out on you, so don't expect to be able to walk for another week."His growl made me whimper, and his promise made my hips roll with excitement."A month?""Yes, I have had to watch you sleep for a month; now I plan on bending your body to my every will and way, so I'm giving you this one chance to have control before I toss you around like a doll and fuck you in every angle physically possible."A sight left my lips as he released my hair; his arms were splayed out and lazily hanging over the back of the sofa. I ran a hand through my hair and tussled the strands loose before pressing my lips to his for a sweet kiss.While our lips were distracted, my hips started to move on their own. Slowly, my pace picked up, and his tip was tapping my overly sensitive spot, making me moan into our kiss. My fingers locked into his hair as my body pulled tight around him."That's my fucking good girl."He growled the words against my lips as I parted our lips, trying my best to catch my breath as the pressure between my legs built up higher. My body tensed and pulled tighter around him, making it slightly harder to push him in deeper.His hips rolled up slightly to help push his tip up and deeper. The sensation made me whimper as I buried my face into his neck. His tip was pressing into that one spot, and before I knew it, a wave washed over me, a strangely strong one."Good girl, let me hear how good that feels."My moans were muffled and pressed into his neck as my body pulled tight around his member; my hips jerked as the wave pulled towards its end; and his member twitched inside of me as I clamped around it and began to weakly milk it.My breathing was heavy once my wave slowly faded out of my body. Every one of my muscles eased and relaxed around him, allowing his member to twitch freely inside of me. There was a shift around me; his heavy arms wrapped around me with ease, and my husband held me gently as my body came down from its high."How do you feel, my princess?"I could only hum at his question, despite being bored and irritated with the bed and resting to heal my body. Right now, that was all I wanted to do; all I wanted to do was crawl in between our warm sheets and fall asleep in his warm arms."Want to go and rest?"My head moved on its own as I nodded at his query, not thinking about the erected member buried inside of me. I hummed at the warm feeling of his fingers gently grazing up and down my spine.A sensation of peace and tranquillity washed over me. It has been two months since our first night together, and this was the first time that I felt this safe and at peace in his arms."Well, that's too bad."I snapped back suddenly at the shift of tone in his voice."What do you mean?"His blue eyes darkened as he looked up at me with his twisted smirk. One of his hands dug into my hip as he pushed his hips up, reminding me that he was still in me."I told you, I plan on getting my frustrations out for a whole month's worth, my princess."My cheeks flushed under his words. I was the one who didn't want him to leave, but I was exhausted and just wanted to be held by him. The darkness in his eyes said I had no other choice.Once I accepted my toe-curling fate, I leaned into his ear and whispered as sweetly as I could, but my voice broke as it was the first time that I used these words for others outside of my home."I love you, my dragon."
