Dragon Mind

8

"You killed me!" "Because of you we're dead!" "You shouldn't get to live after we died!" Ethan, and the twins are taking turns holding my head beneath the bloody waves. "You're nothing more than a scared little girl. You murder! You lived while we died!"

My head shot up. My hands clenched to the side of my bed. My breath was fast, my eyes were wide, and every fiber of my being was shaking. My mind was playing catch up. Dimitri had shot to his feet when my body had snapped up. He was asking me if I was okay. Tears fell from my eyes, but the very second I felt one fall I curled myself into a ball in my bed and this time I couldn't turn it off. Warm, strong arms warped around me and easily lifted me up.

"It's okay let it out. Your okay now, everything is going to be okay." He kept whispering in my ear as he laid me on the feather bed. His body covered mine. His hair enclosed our faces like a curtain between us and the rest of the world. His hands grabbed at mine which were trying to hide my face from view. "Don't hide from me please never hide from me." He wasn't going to give up and I was losing a battle between my will and desires, the desires won. My hands clenched in a fist on his shirt and finally I lose entirely. My hands clenched at his back and my face buried itself in his neck. He pulled me with him as he sat up. Mumbled words went unheard to my ears. But his arms didn't let go even as my legs enclosed his waist. My heels rested on his ass, oh thank God it wasn't a flat surface. I started to laugh.

"Your laughing that's a good sign." He laid us back down and I could feel him rub between my legs as we shifted. My hands tighted on his back. He pushed himself closer and rolled his hips. A moan past my lips and I tried to press myself closer to him. One of his hands went to my hips. He did it again this time making me move my hips in time with his. One of my hands went to his face. I finally met his eyes that were bright with desire.

"Please," I breathed. My lips had moved without my consent. My body was acting on its own.

"Your body wants something and you don't know what do you?" His face was getting closer.

"No," my finger traced his bottom lip. His mouth opened slightly. His tongue was thick that much I could tell from a little bit that came out. He pulled my finger into his mouth and sucked on it. My hand pulled from his mouth and tanged in his hair. I may not know what I wanted but my body sure did and it was damn well taking.

He pushed at me again and told me, "I won't do anything you do not want me to."

I lunged from my nest, my face was looking right at Dimitri. My face flushed and so did his.

"Before you yell let me explain." I glared at him but tilted my head waiting. "Sometimes when both mates fall asleep they will... dream together. The dreams reflect our desires. So it look like we will need to be honest with each other about our desires. I want to touch and hold you even though you seem completely against it. What about you?"

"I... I want to to- touch you. I do but I get the feeling it would lead to other things."

He got off the feather bed and keeled in front of me,"I told you in the dream and I'll tell you again; I won't do anything you don't want me to."

"That is the problem!" He raised his eyebrows at me, "I want you to. You are a very good looking male and I would love nothing more than to strip you bare and have my way with you but I can't and I won't. It would be wrong. I refuse to use you just to make everything else disappear." I go to get up but he pulled my arm forcing me to fall in his arms. He laid back warping my legs in his own and holding my arms at my sides.

"You want to forget and one way or another the bond will do that. Our dreams aren't gonna stop simply because ya think using my body is wrong. Ya think I do na wanna watch you beneath me, watch ya forget everything but me, see ya head a wild mess as ye sink those small nails into my back, and lose myself in you?"

"We can't..."

"Why the hell not!" He snarled out. His lips parted to reveal mostly human teeth until I look at his canines long and curved. The thought of those siding into my skin sent a thrill down my spine. I wanted to touch them but arms were still pined to my sides. So I did the next best thing, streched. I kept my body hunched and bent but so little that I appeared much smaller than I actually was which was still small by most standards. Still it gave me the length I needed to stick my tongue out and lick one of them. He had flipped us quicker than I thought possible.

"Ya just love to test my control."

"We have to go to dinner. Someone will come retrieve us if we don't." He growled and got off storming across the room. I went to my wardrobe and threw it open. I pulled my favorite light blue outfit. I pulled off my shirt and pants, careful to keep my back to Dimitri. It was more of a dress than an outfit. The sleeves were shoulder hug styled, light blue with silver trim, the bodice had black beads forming flowers, the hemline went past my feet to drag on the floor, and dark blue lace draped over my back to the floor. I opened my nearly nonexistent jewelry box. Inside sat my bejeweled hair clips, a string of tear drop blue diamonds, different jew bracelets, and an amethyst choker. I clipped the teardrop string to the my bangs so that they hung across my forehead. My hands went to take hold of the strings at my back.

I pulled them at every angle I could but still they remained nearly unmoved. A sigh past my lips. I turned to ask Dimitri if he would do it for me. "Dimitri?"

He was shirtless with lots of different shirts around him. "Yes?" He was rocking a eight pack that my fingers twitched to touch. "-Ana... Diana!"

I shook my head, "Sorry. Could you tie the back up for me?"

"Sure, come here." I moved closer to him and turned my back to his chest. I could feel the heat coming from his fingers as they took hold of the ribbon. Before he even started he let go and ran a finger down my spine, going across the ribbon only when he had too. "You were a razor back."

"They clipped me when I was a baby. It's funny I can still feel the muscles beneath that would have made them flatten and flex." His finger moved to the left of my spine right onto of one of the two scars. A shock wave ran through me. My head laid on his shoulder while I tried to shake his fingers away from them.

"They should have grown back." He kissed my neck and chin.

"They... they do," I breathed clenching his arm around my waist.

"They aren't here now," he whispered nipping the shell of my ear.

"I... clip them nearly every week."

"Don't ever clip them again." He bit into my neck. My left hand went up to his hair and entangled the white silk in my fingers. My right hand clawed into his arm. A moan left my lips when he licked over the bite.

"St-op, please!" My fingers tightened in his hair trying and failing to get him to turn his head. "Please! Oh! " My back arched at the feel of him in my lower back. It made me wiggle back against him. "More! Please more!" I no longer had the power to fight my desires. I pressed his head closer to my neck, scratched at the right side of his body where my fingers had taken a firm hold, and rubbed, wiggled, and arched any and every way for something I was unable to name. That was how my mother and father found us.
