Passionate Yearning: A Zodiac Shifter Romance - Libra by Solease M Barner, Zodiac Shifters (2)


RAINA

 

After my shift at the hospital I decide I need to see Jonathan. As I’m walking to the car a couple of my colleagues ask if I wanted to go get some food. I apologized and told them I wanted to go home and to me Jonathan is my home.

 

I’ve been thinking about him all night long. I couldn’t wait for my shift to end. Being at work, I thought would make my feeling subside some, but it didn’t. All night all I wanted was to feel his touch and I felt empty, like a piece of me was missing.

 

If this true mate thing makes you need the person all the time, I’m going to be a sore woman.  Once I’m in my car I make a stop at my home, picked up my bag and began the route back to Jonathan.

 

“I’m coming to you my true mate dragon.” I say out loud in my car. It’s going to be weird at first, but I’m going to like dating Jonathan.

 

After making a few turns and turning down the dirt road, things start to look familiar. I get to where the gate should be, but it leads to an open field.

 

“JONATHAN IT’S ME RAINA, YOUR TRUE MATE, LET ME IN!” I yell into the field.

 

Yet, there’s no response. I yell a few more times, but it was like making a fool out of myself, screaming into an open field when I know there is a home there.

 

I get back in my car and as I’m about to leave the gates appear and open. I drive through with hope. I look at all the flowers and beautiful things Jonathan has here and can’t wait to be a part of it.

 

When I reach the main doors, Wina is standing there smiling, waiting for me. I get out of the car and walk right up to her.

 

“Hi Wina, where’s Jonathan?”

 

“He went home Ms. Peters, I opened the door because I didn’t want you out there screaming.” She says, calmly.

 

“Wina, why do you have a name and the other’s don’t?”

 

“I’m not like them, I keep the home running for Mr. Justice.”

 

“Well can I stay and wait for him? Do you think he’ll be back soon?”

 

“I’m not sure when he will return, but I know that he will return.” She responds.

 

“You didn’t answer if I can stay and wait.” I reply.

 

“I’m not sure you can.” She responds looking away.

 

“I’m going to wait and I will tell him I forced my way in.”

 

She smiles and I walk inside. I quickly go to his bedroom and there is no sign of him, like Wina said. I guess I was hoping Jonathan would come out and say something funny.

 

I decide to relax, so I get in my comfy clothes and lay across his bed. He doesn’t have a TV in his room, but I have my tablet so I start watching Netflix.

 

Wina comes in and brings me food. I was able to eat some, but soon my eyes are tired from working all night, and I drift off to sleep.

 

***

 

I wake under the covers and when I reach out the other side of the bed has a chill, letting me know Jonathan still is not home. I look at the clock and it’s six in the evening. I must have been really sleepy because I have never slept ten hours in my life.

 

I decide on a shower and after I dress I go looking for Wina. I find her outside in the garden humming and pruning.

 

“Did he call or something?” I ask.

 

“No, Ms. Peters, he didn’t call, but he should be here soon.” She smiles.

 

I believe her, so I watch her work on the beautiful flowers. I find that Wina’s family has always served the keeper of the law. She speaks highly about this job and doesn’t feel like she’s sacrificed anything.

 

After a while we go inside and she fixes dinner and I eat with her. I didn’t want to be alone. After we eat and talk she goes to her sleeping quarters and I go back to Jonathan’s room. I tried to get Wina to come watch some TV with me, but she said it’s against the rules for her to be in the Keeper of the Law’s room except for business.

 

I go to his room and look through his drawers and look at his reading collection which needs updated. I climb in the bed alone and this time I begin to think that he’s changed his mind. Even if we are true mates it doesn’t change the fact I’m human, even though I can growl and my eyes can look like a dragon.

 

I fall asleep reading a romance story, hoping that Jonathan will be home soon.

 

***

The next morning, I awake still tired and alone. Jonathan still hasn’t returned from his home and now I think I should go home as well. I slip out of the bed and get dressed. I grab my bag and walk out of the room. As I’m walking down the hall passing two no names, Wina turns the corner.

 

“Ms. Peters, are you leaving? I have breakfast for you.”

 

“I’m sorry Wina, I‘m going home. I shouldn’t have stayed this long, it’s not my home and I’m here in his home like a stalker. It was nice getting to know you Wina.”

 

“It’s been a pleasure Ms. Peters.”

 

“You know, you should call me Raina. I consider you ?? more now, I mean we have eaten together and had long talks.”

 

Once I’m in my car I drive away fast, my crying comes fast and my tears will not stop flowing. Once I was home, I took another shower so I can wash the scent of his home off. I look in the mirror and give myself a pep talk.

 

“Raina, never let a man make you cry more than once, especially if they’re not happy tears. You have lots of guys who would love to spend time with you. You don’t want to be a part of his world, besides his brother tried to kidnap you. Pull yourself together and move forward, you can and will get through this.”

 

I walk out of the bathroom only to find Jonathan standing in my room looking at me.

 

“I’m sorry Raina, please forgive me.”

 

Jonathan is here, in my bedroom, looking sexy with those pants showing the shape of his thighs. I waited for him and if he thinks that it’s ok, he’ll do it again.

 

“You didn’t give me your number so I showed up, but you didn’t come home.” I say, rolling my eyes.

 

“I know, but I took your advice and didn’t kill my brother, but banned him to our native land. He asked if I could take him home so our parents could see me bringing him instead of guards.”

 

“So you think he’s done hating you?”

 

He walks toward me, but I take a step to the side.

 

“I think he will be too busy thinking of what to say to his true mate that he denied. Are you going to stay away from me or can you please let me touch you? I’ve been anxious to see you.”

 

“You made me cry, more than once and…”

 

Before I could finish what I’m saying. Jonathan grabs me and pulls me to him, where he starts kissing me. I submit and let all my feeling’s go and hug him back kissing him hard.

 

“I’m sorry baby, let me get you back home in my bed.”

 

“I’m staying here, I was at your home.”

 

He frowns and then looks at me.

 

“You’re my true mate, it’s our home besides I need to claim you and I can’t do that here.”

 

“Claim me what are you talking about Jonathan?”

 

I look at him, unsure of what claimed meant.

 

“Raina I’m yours and your mine, but I need for anyone you encounter to know that and for me to do that I need to claim you and then we can start planning a ceremony so we can go to my native land. You’re going to love being there.”

 

“Jonathan you know I’m a doctor right and where is your land? I’m assuming some place other than Earth, can’t we stay here and date?”

 

“Date? Raina true mates don’t date and I’m going to take a leave of absence so I can spend time with you and then come back to protecting my region.”

 

He’s serious. I’m not leaving for an uncertain amount of time. I believe in the true mate thing and I like the idea, but changing everything for him and he doesn’t do any compromising is wrong.

 

“Jonathan, can we stay the night here please?”

 

“We can tomorrow. I need to claim you, so please beautiful let me make love to you.”

 

My eyes light up and everything south gets wet. I want this dragon badly and it seems like he wants me just as bad.

 

“Ok, take me to your place and make love to me.”

 

Jonathan pulls out this cube and we disappear and reappear in his bedroom. It’s decorated with lots of flowers and wine next to the bed, fruit and meat trays along with a bowl of nuts as well.

 

I look at Jonathan and he smiles and starts removing his clothes. I can’t help but follow his direction and I start removing my clothes too. When we are both naked in front of each other Jonathan pulls me close to him.

 

“Raina, I’m so happy right now and I hope you forgive me my love for not being here when you came looking for me.”

 

“Of course I forgive you, I love you.”

 

“I love you too, and now I’m going to do something that you’ve never seen before, but you will be fine. You’re of dragon blood, so please can you trust me?”

 

“This is a little scary, but my gut tells me to trust you, so I do, trust you.”

 

He then wraps his arms around me and because he’s so much taller than me I can’t see what’s happening until I feel the heat. I look and we are surrounded by fire, but I don’t say anything as I don’t feel in danger.  Jonathan looks down at me and lifts me up to him and I wrap my legs around his waist. He bends down and we are on the floor now and he slips inside of me and my body begins to shiver from the pleasure. He starts kissing my neck and I close my eyes and when I open them up for only a second the fire is upon us. It’s on us, surrounding us. There is nothing but us and fire.

 

Jonathan starts to thrust inside me gently and slowly. He takes one of my breasts in his mouth and sucks hard. I close my eyes again and this time I can hear his thoughts.

 

“I love you!”

 

“I love you too!”

 

He flips over and is on his back, and I begin to ride him. Moving my body up and down, rolling my hips, wanting him deeper inside of me. I’m not afraid of the fire. I lean down and kiss him as I lift my ass up slightly and slam down on his cock hard and start my twisting and rolling all over again.

 

Jonathan eyes are beast and for some reason I know mine are too. He growls out in pleasure and so do I. This is better than I could have ever imagined. Suddenly, Jonathan sits up and as I’m still moving he wraps his arms around me. He starts licking me and it feels like little stings, but after a few seconds I become use to them. I continue to ride him and he growls and licks me over and over again, after a few minutes he flips us again, but this time he positions me on my knees and he slips in from the back. He starts to move and my screams of pleasure get louder.

 

“Louder Raina, let me hear you.” Jonathan says, his voice has turned raw.

 

He thrusts harder and harder, and when I think I’m going to break in two my body begs for more.

 

“Raina come for me, do it, do it now!” He commands.

 

It’s like my body knows him because I come hard and loud. It’s not fast though it seems to go on forever. I feel like I’m floating over clouds as the best feeling rolls over me. I can feel my body shaking and I don’t want this feeling to end.  Jonathan growls and I feel him filling me with his seed and I want more of him inside of me. I feel more pleasure knowing he’s mine.

 

I’m not sure when we get in the bed, but I do know that lying in bed with Jonathan is the best feeling.

 

“Raina, I love you so much. We are now mated forever.”

 

“How can it be forever? I’m human.”

 

“You have dragon blood in you and after we mated you are part of me and will live as long as I’m alive.”

 

I look at him in shock. This is an amazing gift. I get to be with him forever, truly.

 

“Thank you. I’m not sure what to say.” I reply.

 

“You don’t have to say anything. You’re mine and I’m yours, my love.”

 

“So what happens now?” I ask.

 

“Well, I’m going to still be guarding my region and I hope you take time off of work so I can take you home, then after we celebrate you will meet my mother and father. We will come back here and rule together, that is, until you become pregnant then we go home for good.”

 

“Jonathan, I can’t leave my parents, I’m an only child. I will never leave them, they need me.”

 

I love him and feel good about being with him forever, but I’m not leaving my parents. They loved me when no one else did, including my birth parents.

 

“Then I guess they should come, I don’t want you upset or worried. We only need to figure out how to tell them about me being a dragon and that you have dragon blood, because now that we are mated, your dragon abilities will come through more and more, except the shifting.” He smiles.

 

I smile knowing he’s willing to do anything and everything to please me and I want to please him too.

 

“Ok, but when it is time for us to go to your land forever, then we will tell them. Until then, I will work on getting my mother’s blood pressure under control and my dad’s diabetes under control too.”

 

“Sleep my mate, I plan on waking you soon.” He says,

 

With those words, I drift off to sleep in the arms of the man I love.

 

 

 

 

JONATHAN

 

It’s been three days and Raina and I have not left the compound. She called into her job and I have my trusted no name servants watching my region.

 

I finally talked her into coming outside and watching me change into my dragon.

 

“Raina baby, you’re too close. You have to go back and stand over there so I don’t hurt you.”

 

“I don’t think you can hurt me, but I will go back to the spot you said is safe.”

 

I watch as she runs over there and she’s moving faster than a human but slower than a cheetah.

 

As I start to transform, I can feel my beast getting excited. He’s finally going to meet Raina, she’s his too. Spreading my arms out wide and with my head lifted to the sky my arms soon become my wings, my head expands into a large monstrous head with huge teeth. My legs transform and soon I’m a full dragon.

 

Raina looks at me and waves. I take off into the air showing off for my love. When I turn and look, I see her waving at me. I swoop down and lower my head for her to climb on and after a few seconds she’s on my back and with that, my mate and I are one with the wind and sky.

 

Once we are back in the compound, Raina and I decide to eat outside in the flower garden.

 

“Raina, I want to take you to my land. Can you take time?”

 

She looks up at me with those honey eyes.

 

“I think I’ll like seeing your land.”

 

“Then you make the arrangements with your job and we will go to my land so I can introduce my true mate to everyone.”

 

She smiles in agreement and we eat, laugh and talk about our long future together.

 

The End
