“Oh, mo chroí, this is no fairy tale.” Banning winked. “And there is more to come.”
He smiled at the surprise in her eyes as he continued the Mating Ceremony of his kin. “The Lunar-White Dragons, those whom the Universe fashioned in the image of Her own son, the Moon, are symbolic of peace, purity, and health. They are symbolic of the guidance we seek every day of our existence and keep our souls on the path of righteousness. They foretell of the changes in the season and the continuation of our species. Their incredible magic brings spiritual faith and health to our numbers.”
“White dragons are known to be steadfast, loyal, and fierce in battle. They can take many forms, call upon all magicks, and wield many weapons to defend Clan and Kin. The glowing, lunar white of their scales symbolizes purity, light, goodness, spirituality, and magic. Lunar-White dragons seek out every opportunity to protect home and will fight to their last breath to keep their mate and Clan from harm. To mate a Lunar-White dragon is to accept all that they are and honor the power shared between mates.”
“As the Mate of My Heart and Light of my Soul, do you, Myanna Aryn Havers, accept me, Banning MacCallion as your mate, now and forever more?”
“Oh, Banning, with all my heart and soul, today, tomorrow, and every single day after that, I accept you and your dragon with every fiber of my being. Together in every and all things. I will honor all that you are and love you to the very ends of the earth.” Mimi smiled. “Wherever you are, I’ll be. There will never ever be anyone or anything that can come between us.”
“You humble me with your words, your commitment, and your love, grá mo chroí.” Banning’s voice cracked as he lowered his lips to hers, stopping just as their lips touched, promising, “,” before capturing Mimi’s lips in an all-consuming heat that laid both their souls open to the miracle of their mating.
Mimi gasped into their kiss as something stung the left side of her neck. Leaning in as Banning pulled her closer still, she sighed when his lips left hers. Goose bumps rose all over her body as her dragon teased and tasted his way across her jaw and down her neck. She moaned as he reached the spot where she’d felt the pain and lavished it until all thoughts of anything but their naked bodies loving one another swirled through her mind.
Moaning at the loss as Banning pulled back, Mimi batted her eyes and teased in a husky tone, “What exactly are you up to, Mr. MacCallion?”
“Loving you, Dr. MacCallion, always and forever.”
Lifting her off the ground, Mimi chuckled out loud right before Banning’s lips once again found hers. She could feel the abundance of unconditional love and blissful adoration that they shared as he whispered, “I thank the Heavens above that wishes come true.” Looking deeply into her eyes, he added with a wink, “But even more so that you dropped your coin into my fountain.”
Unwilling to let Myanna out of his arms even to call forth his dragon and take to the sky, Banning lifted her into his arms and using the speed given to him by the Universe, raced back to her house. Sliding the patio door open with his magic, entering the blissfully empty home and racing to her room as the door shut and locked behind them, the Guardsman let his mate’s feet touch the floor just before he pulled her into his arms and smashed his lips to hers.
Roaming her wonderfully womanly curves, his Dragon King, old Gerallt, roared as her softness melded into the hard planes of Banning’s body. Sliding his hands under the soft cotton of her T-shirt, he groaned as the electricity of their connection skittered up his arm. The dragon marking that wrapped around his waist and covered the better part of his back, depicting Gerallt in flight, flared to life.
Falling onto the bed on his back, Banning rolled over, pressing his body into Myanna’s as he deepened their embrace. Fire blazed in his veins and his heart beat out of control when his spectacular mate gasped into his kiss, her fingernails digging into his back as her hips rolled against the hard length of his erection.
He gripped the round, firm cheeks of her ass as their tongues slid along one another and Myanna wound her legs around his waist. His dragon’s growl shook the depths of his soul, the need of both man and beast to be one with the Mate of their Heart overriding all thought and reason.
Pushing her shirt up her back, Banning groaned in ecstasy as the softness of her stomach touched the muscles of his. The need to feel every inch of her silken skin demanded that he tear his lips from hers and rip the shirt from her body, before immediately returning to the haven of his mate. Myanna’s hands wrapped around his ribs, her nails leaving fiery trails of passion down his back as she mewled, rolling her hips again and again against his throbbing cock.
Tearing his mouth from hers, Banning kissed across her jaw, taking her earlobe between his teeth and gasping, “I love you, Myanna. Need…want…desire to have all of you.”
Her answering moan and the strength of her grip on his shoulders had his cock pushing against the zipper of his jeans so hard that he just knew that it would be permanently marked for the rest of eternity. With his mind swimming and his dragon roaring, Banning could barely breathe as the need to claim his mate became unbearable.
Myanna’s fingers tangled in his hair as she moaned, “Oh, my God, yes, Banning. Yes, please…I want you…I need you…I love you.”
Keeping his lips tight to hers, his hands still on her ass, the Guardsman stood with the most wonderful woman he could ever imagine wrapped tightly around his body and strode to the bathroom, begrudgingly letting her shapely legs slide down his body. Breaking their kiss, he used his preternatural speed to strip them both naked then start the water in Myanna’s deep, roman tub.
Knowing beyond all doubt he would always want Myanna as much as he wanted her in that moment, Banning picked Myanna up and stepped into the tub while inhaling her as if she was the very air he breathed. Rejoicing in the shivers that racked her body as the hot water touched her flesh, Banning panted as the soft curls covering her mound teased his hard cock.
Taking a seat, he grasped Myanna’s waist, pulled his lips from hers, and while looking deep into her hypnotic hazel eyes, positioned the head of his cock against the quivering lips of her pussy and held completely still. With his dragon riding him hard, the Guardsman’s voice was more of a growl than he’d intended as he promised, “You are mine, Myanna Aryn MacCallion, now and forever more.”
With lust-soaked eyes and kiss-swollen lips, Myanna slowly pushed her body down until just the tip of him slid inside and sassed, “You have no clue, Dragon Man.”
Her words, just like the woman herself, captivated Banning. Thrusting his hips forward to meet Myanna’s downward motion, he drove his cock into her pussy until he could go no further. Loving the feel of her body stretching to accommodate his cock, he watched in wonder as Myanna threw back her head and rolled her hips, repeating his name over and over like a prayer to the Heavens.
“Look at me, Myanna. Look at the man and the dragon who would defy death just to remain by your side.”
As her head snapped forward and her eyes speared him with a look of white-hot desire and need, Banning lifted his mate until he almost fell from her body then instantaneously thrust back into her warm, wet pussy as she pushed down onto him. Their pace immediately became frantic. Over and over their bodies met, the slaps of their flesh splashed water onto the floor, the fire within them blazing toward its explosive climax.
Myanna’s hands were everywhere. She teased and taunted his body, making his dragon roar in extreme pleasure and his glyph writhe upon his skin. Nipping at his jaw, she taunted the spot behind his ear that drove him wild, teased the marking, a set of dragon wings sitting atop a few gentle waves given to them both by the Universe, and whispered, “More…faster…I need…I need…oh, sweet Heavens…I need…”
“What is it, Myanna, grá mo shaol? What do you need of the man who loves you so?” He struggled to speak as his canines lengthened and the scales of his dragon appeared on the backs of his hands, his need to mark her with his teeth pushing his every action.
“I need…you…Only…ever…you.”
Lifting her a bit higher, Banning tilted his hips. The change in position let the head of his cock rub the sensitive bundle of nerves at the top of her channel and his hips to bump her aroused clit. Myanna’s movements became desperate, her nails biting deeper still into the skin of his shoulders as she gasped to breathe.
Moving furiously in and out of his mate’s heavenly body, Banning could no longer resist the call of his dragon and his mate. Kissing down the elegant column of her neck, he reached the pounding of her pulse just under the Universe’s mark of Blessing. Need exploded in every cell of his body. There would never be another who affected him so. The time to mark his mate was at hand and Banning would not be denied.
Licking her pulse one last time, he slid his canines into her skin, throwing them both into the life-affirming climax whose flames licked at their souls like an out-of-control wildfire. Myanna threw back her head, screaming his name to the Heavens as her pussy milked him in sync with their combined heartbeats and he bathed her insides with the heat of his release.
Lifting his head from her neck, the Guardsman looked into the lazy eyes of the woman who’d claimed not only his heart, but also his soul and that of his dragon’s. He could see their future, the happily ever after promised to every one of the Universe’s Winged Warriors going on forever and ever.
He grinned as her hand lazily touched the mating marks on her neck, his pride unyielding. He wanted the world to know he loved every single thing about his Myanna.
Chuckling as she collapsed against his chest, Banning sighed, enjoying the way her body continued to shiver and shake with mini orgasms that tickled them both. Feeling his cock once again hardening within her, he barked with laughter when his beautiful mate raised her head and yelped in shock, “Again?”
Rolling his hips, Banning didn’t even attempt to stop the sly smile from sliding across his lips when Myanna gasped, her eyes once again half-lidded and her fingers digging into his shoulders. Laying his lips to hers, he groaned, “Always for you,” as her pussy closed even tighter around him and her hips danced a lazy figure eight on his lap.
Their lovemaking continued until both were boneless. Lifting a sleepy but well relaxed Myanna from the tub, he carefully dried his mate, throwing whatever towels he could find over the water on the floor, then making his way into her bedroom.
Laying Myanna in the middle of her bed, he followed her to the mattress, placing his head on the pillow next to hers, watching her sleep. Slowly opening her eyes, blissful contentment shining in her eyes, she breathed, “I love you, Banning MacCallion, so much that I have to pinch myself to be sure I’m not still dreaming.”
Brushing the soft waves of her hair from her face, Banning slowly kissed both of Myanna’s cheeks, the tip of her nose, and both sides of her delectable lips before lifting his head ever so slightly and promising, “I love you, Myanna MacCallion, with a ferocity I did not know was possible. You are my sun, moon, and stars. Without you, I will simply cease to exist,”
Laying her hand over his heart, her eyes dancing with mirth and a cheeky grin turning up at the corner of her stunningly pink lips, Myanna winked, “I couldn’t have said it better, but you better be careful, bub.” Her grin grew to a smile. “You are the silly dragon who not only made my dreams come true, but made me a Queen and a wife all in one day.” Her fingers tickled the scant hairs on his chest as she chuckled. “I just can’t wait to see what you do for an encore.”
Pulling her tight to his body and kissing her with all that he was, Banning chuckled directly into her mind, “Never fear, Myanna, my love. I have so very many plans for us…”
Until Next Time…
