When he pressed deep inside her, an explosion in his mind rocked Keres. He looked at Rimi to make sure she was okay. Her shocked expression told him the mate bond affected her strongly as it locked into place. He withdrew and filled her again. Pleasure replaced the surprise on her face.
“Now the fun begins, Snowflake. Hold on. You feel incredible around me.”
Keres concentrated on her pleasure, stroking and caressing her beautiful curves. She moved with him tentatively, but with growing confidence as he praised her. Their lovemaking had an edge to it he’d never felt before. Like being buried inside her was exactly where he needed to be.
He slid a hand between their bodies to brush a fingertip over her clit. The extra stimulation pushed Rimi into a massive orgasm. Her tight passage clamped around him. Each pulse of pleasure threatened his control.
Keres wasn’t ready for this to end. He gritted his teeth together and slowed his thrusts to draw out her climax before slowly building the sensations back to a boiling point. Their bodies slid together as heat built inside the cavern. Her pale skin glowed in the light of the torches, making him wish to both ravish Rimi and protect her at the same time.
Her hands caressed down his spine to grip his butt as she rose to meet him. “Find your pleasure with me, Keres,” she demanded, squeezing her inner muscles in a move so irresistible he couldn’t refuse.
Powering deeply into her, Keres ground against her most sensitive places. He controlled his climax by sheer force until he felt hers begin. Then he allowed himself to follow her. His heart beat wildly like it would explode as he filled her.
Gathering Rimi against him, Keres rolled her back onto his clothing. Her soft kiss to his lips melted any lingering doubts or reserve. Keres cut off the shouted questions that echoed in his mind. His horde could wait.
He focused completely on caring for his mate.
Chapter 4
Waking up in a dragon shifter’s arms after being entombed in a cave was not on Rimi’s bucket list—even if she felt incredible. Who knew mating would be like that? She guessed the mate bond snapping into place had caused the riot of sensations inside her. Well, other than the pleasure Keres had lavished on her. She’d always feared sex. Keres had shown her how incredible making love could be.
“You’re concentrating too hard, Snowflake.” His growly, rough morning voice sent shivers through her.
“You can’t hear what I’m thinking, can you?”
“Only if you’re on loud announcement mode or talking to me privately. I can sense that you are feeling well this morning.”
“How do we know if it’s morning?” she asked, waving a hand at the darkened chamber.
“Internal clock,” he answered. “Let’s get cleaned up and then we’ll figure out how to dig out of here.”
“I’ve never found another opening.”
“Baths first. Escape second,” he suggested.
“I guess dying covered in sex juice is not the thing to do,” she scoffed.
“Sex juice? I love it,” he said with a chuckle, diffusing her frustration. Keres lifted his hand and placed a kiss on the now-visible dragon shape decorating it.
A thrill shimmied down her back. Rimi shouldn’t feel that, but she did. Unable to resist, she lifted her hand and licked the symbol now marked on the back. His low groan made her clench her thighs together. She had heard that sound before, when he’d pressed himself deep inside her.
Rimi tried to pull herself together. His soft chuckle told her he knew exactly how much he affected her. “Okay. Baths first.”
“Good idea.” Moving smoothly, Keres rose to his feet. He reached down and easily pulled Rimi to her feet.
She hated to admit how much she loved his strength. Because of her need to hide, Rimi couldn’t glide around the sky, building muscles. She was round and soft, not all hard angles and chiseled physique like Keres. Her gaze dropped to his butt. Damn.
He looked like the movie stars she’d studied in abandoned magazines. Handsome, powerful, and magnetic. His black hair was tousled and unkept—a sign of his decline in the last months. Her fingers itched to brush it away from his mesmerizing eyes before tasting every inch of her mate’s delicious form.
“Thank you, Mate. I like everything about you, too.”
“Stop eavesdropping on my thoughts,” she snapped.
“Remember, I’ll hear everything you broadcast. You’ll get used to it. Besides, you can ogle my ass anytime. Or really, any part of me.”
Rimi rolled her eyes so hard she could almost hear them rattle. Like she wanted to check out his assets. She fought with herself to keep her focus on his broad shoulders as he waded into the water until he was waist deep. Breathing a sigh of relief, she stepped into the natural pool as well.
Turning to float on her back, Rimi savored the cool liquid on her skin. The waterhole had quickly become the only positive feature in this cavern. She’d wanted to search for another place but had spotted those dragons a week ago. When they hadn’t moved on, she was stuck.
