Chapter Fourteen

 

He’d had enough. It wasn’t that he didn’t appreciate everything everyone had done for him and Savannah or that he didn’t like a good party, because he did. It all came down to one simple fact, Hayes was ready to be alone with his mate and nothing or no one was going to stop him.

Marching across the dance floor, zigging and zagging to miss all the dancing guests, the Guardsman slid up behind his lovely lioness, wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered, “Wanna get out of here?”

“I thought you’d never ask,” she murmured in return, leaning her body against his, teasing him with a little wiggle of her ass that made his already hard cock jump against the zipper of his tuxedo pants.

Lifting her into his arms and making a mad dash for the back staircase he’d discovered during his inspection of Royal Hall, Hayes ignored the cheers, clapping and catcalls, especially Kayne’s chuckled, “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”

Taking the stairs two at a time, having a hard time concentrating as Savannah kissed his neck and lavished the sweet spot behind his ear, Hayes kicked open the door to her suite with the toe of his shoe. Crossing the threshold, he then slammed it shut with his elbow before making a beeline for the large four-poster bed in the middle of the room.

Gently pulling his arm from under her legs, Hayes shivered at the currents of their combined energy fueling the fire in his soul, filling his entire being with light and love as his lioness’ body slid against his. Slamming his lips to hers, the Guardsman licked the seam of her mouth, sucked on her bottom lip and drove his tongue alongside hers, fueling their arousal as she pushed the jacket from his shoulders and began ripping the buttons from his shirt.

Tearing his lips from hers, Hayes gasped as he pushed her hands from his bare chest, grabbing the silk covering her hips and pulling her dress over her head. Her nipples, already irresistibly hard, tempted the Guardsman more than a chest of gold, but he wanted, no needed, to taste his mate, to take her juices into his body, to mark her from the inside-out, so summoning all of his strength, he resisted. Instead shredding his shirt, lifting his mate off the floor and laying her on the soft ivory coverlet with her butt on the very edge of the mattress, Hayes dropped to his knees.

Sliding her shapely legs over his shoulders, the dragon looked deep into Savannah’s eyes, inhaling the sweet scent of her arousal as he groaned, “You smell like Heaven.”

Kissing up the inside of one thigh and down the other, ignoring the heat of her pussy as she lifted her hips from the bed and grabbed for him, Hayes smiled against Savannah’s silken skin while she moaned, “Please…please…”

“Please what?” He cooed, teasing her pussy through the damp silk of the crotch of her panties with the tips of his fingers.

“Please…” She gasped as he pushed harder, rubbing the tip of her hot, throbbing fabric-covered clit. “Please…l-love m-me.”

Unable to resist any longer, Hayes ripped the silk from her body and thrust his tongue into her wanting pussy. Multicolored bursts of light, like fireworks in the night sky, sparkled behind his closed eyelids as her taste, so fresh, so unique, so completely Savannah, fed the excitement roaring through both man and dragon as nothing ever had.

Her hands dove into his hair, fisting the curls, guiding him where she needed him most until the Guardsman thought he might be bald. But Hayes, couldn’t care. Loving his mate, giving her pleasure as only he could, was the realization of a lifetime of hopes and dreams.

Driving his tongue in and out of his mate, the dragon curled the tip, teasing the tender bundle of nerves at the top of her center, holding her hips as they rocketed from the bed. Pulling out, he paid special attention to her clit, licking and sucking until Savannah was screaming his name to the Heavens.

Feeling his mate teetering on the edge of her powerful climax, Hayes thrust two fingers into her quivering sex. Fucking her with his fingers until her arousal was at its peak, he took her clit between his teeth and gently bit down, working his digits in and out of Savannah as her screams of release echoed off the walls of the room.

Slowing his motion, gently bringing his mate back to reality, Hayes smiled as Savannah’s body went limp. Sliding her legs from his shoulders, massaging her shaking muscles, the Guardsman got to his feet, shed his remaining clothes and picking up his lioness, followed her down to the mattress.

Opening her eyes, Savannah crooked her index finger in a come-hither motion. Leaning forward, Hayes was pleasantly surprised when her lips met his in a blissfully erotic kiss. In a single beat of his heart, their embrace turned wild. Tongues mated. Hands groped. Bodies pressed together as if they were one.

Savannah’s hands wrapped around his rock-hard cock, her tongue in his mouth imitating the motion of her hands on his erection. Up and down, in and out, his mate drove him wild with her seduction. Rolling her over onto her back, Hayes loomed above, looking deep into her eyes as he pulled his cock from her grasp, immediately thrusting deep into her warm, wet pussy.

Holding perfectly still, reveling in the feel of their bodies joined as one, their hearts beating in sync and their souls intertwining as Fate intended, Hayes saw double as Savannah’s body tightened around his cock, her pussy contracting repeatedly as her body was already racing towards her second orgasm.

Pulling out until he almost fell from the heaven of Savannah’s body, the dragon lifted her knees, pushing them forward as he drove back into her beautiful body until he could go no further. Over and over he repeated the motion, his Queen meeting him thrust for thrust as his dragon reached for her lioness, the sounds of their lovemaking filling the room with the most beautifully sensual sounds.

Letting go of her legs and leaning forward, his palms landed on the bed next to her head. Hayes growled in pleasure as Savannah’s legs wound around his waist and her heels dug into the small of his back. The claws of her lioness dug into his shoulders and slid down his back as she wailed, “Yes…yes…Oh my Goddess, Hayes…yes!”

Ready to explode, losing all control, the Guardsman reached between their bodies, slipped her clit between his thumb and forefinger and commanded, “Look at me, Savannah. Look at the man who loves you more than all the stars in the sky.”

As her eyes snapped to his, Hayes gave one final thrust at the same time that he gently pinched her clit between his fingers. Savannah screamed, her hips bucking against his as the Guardsman emptied himself into her with an earth-shattering roar.

Coming again and again along with his beloved mate, bathing her insides with his scent as her juices marked his body, Hayes slowed his motion, bringing them both down from the high of their lovemaking. Slowly pulling from her body, groaning in unison with Savannah at the loss, the Guardsman moved his lioness to the head of the bed, placing her head on the pillow before he laid down facing her.

Hayes couldn’t help but smile at Savannah’s heavily lidded eyes, the flush on her cheeks and her kiss-swollen lips. Speaking from his heart, he grinned, “Have I told you lately that I love you?”

“Yes,” she happily sighed. “But I will never tire of hearing it.”

Kissing her slowly and deeply, Hayes whispered into her mind, “I love and adore you more with every heartbeat, Savannah Gregory. You are an stór mo chroí go deo agus i gcónaí.”

Leaning back, his Queen, the woman who had stolen his heart, cupped his cheek and with more love than he ever imagined possible, murmured aloud, “I have no idea what I ever did to deserve someone as wonderful as you, but I thank the Goddess that I did.” Kissing the tip of his nose, she added with a twinkle in her eye, “Even if you are an arrogant, pig-headed dragon.”

 

THE END

(For Now, Anyway…)
