Chapter Fourteen

 

While Dannika was patching up the wolves, Wolfe also felt the pull of his Healing powers and was drawn to the Clinic and more importantly, to his lovely mate. Touching her shoulder, the electricity of their connection joined with curative abilities they both possessed, causing the couple to gasp in unison.

“What was that?” Wolfe asked.

With a knowing smile, his beautiful mate winked, “Just one more blessing from the Goddess and Queen Eistir.”

“That dragoness should come with an instruction manual,” the Guardsman laughed, spending the rest of the night and most of the morning alongside his mate, helping take care of all who had been injured in the fight with the Shapeshifter.

Tired to the bone, Wolfe picked Dannika up even as she protested and carried her across the Courtyard, to her house and right up to her room. Laying her back on the bed, the Guardsman followed her down, pulling the small blue velvet pouch he’d retrieved from his backpack earlier out of his pocket.

“What’s that?” Dannika asked, looking at the bag with a twinkle in her eye.

Loosening the satin string, Wolfe let the five-carat princess cut garnet and diamond ring that had been his mother’s fall into the palm of his hand. He gazed at the sparkle of the deep red stone surrounded by smaller glittering ones, remembering how it looked on his mother’s finger and knowing beyond all doubt it belonged on his mate’s.

Looking up at his dragoness, the Guardsman took a deep breath and asked, “Dannika DoChara, Morning Star of the Crystal Clan, will you do me the extreme honor and be the mate of my soul, of my dragon and of my heart, for now and forever?”

Throwing herself into his arms, Dannika sobbed, “Oh my Goddess, yes, Wolfe! Yes to it all! To everything!”

Pulling back, he teased, “Those better be happy tears, mo chroí or I’m putting this ring back in the bag.”

Swatting his arm, Dannika pretended to pout as he laughed out loud while slipping the ring onto her finger and sighing, “Thanks be to the Universe. I know I would surely perish without you.”

Pulling him to her with all the force of their love, Dannika’s kiss was pure passion and filled with the reassurance that as long as they were together, there was nothing they couldn’t handle…together. For the first time in his life, Wolfe McCallum had it all, and there was no way he was ever letting it go.

Pulling back, Dannika cooed, “I simply adore you, Wolfe, with everything that I am. You make me a better person just for loving you. Thank you so much for everything.”

As she once again laid her lips to his, Wolfe fought to contain the emotion this one woman, his woman, brought out in him. She was the hope, the wonder, the perfectly quiet surrender of pure love. Wolfe had no doubt he was the luckiest dragon in all the world to have her by his side for eternity. Deepening the kiss, he was once again in awe of the incredible feelings flowing between them.

Kissing her neck, he nibbled her ear and smiled against her skin as Dannika sighed in ecstasy. Her thoughts mirrored his. Their love was a treasure. Something they would spend their whole lives nurturing. Her desire fed his. Together, they fed the fire smoldering between them. The kiss that started as slow and gentle quickly turned passionate and possessive.

Dannika laid back down, pulling Wolfe with her, cursing at the clothing that separated them as his cock grew harder and his need to love his mate uncontrollable. Gulping air, the Guardsman pulled his lips from her throat and threw back his head.

Taking full advantage of the moment, Dannika slid her hand under the waistband of his jeans and fisted his throbbing cock. Unable to breathe when she ran her thumb through the drop of moisture that had already gathered on the tip, Wolfe groaned, “Dannika… mo stór”.

Continuing to massage him, his dragoness ground her hips against the combination of her hand and his hard cock until Wolfe was sure he would die. Quickly losing control, he thrust against her, his desire taking over, driving his every move. Their pace immediately became frantic with his need to feel her skin against his.

Sliding to the side, groaning as Dannika moaned when his erection pulled from her hand, Wolfe ripped the clothes from her body. Just like the first time, just like every time, touching his mate was purely electric. Both man and dragon roared with need as he ripped her panties from her body and threw them over his shoulder. Her scent filled the air, driving Wolfe wild with unbridled desire. No longer able to hold back, he thrust two fingers into her weeping flesh, shouting his pleasure right along with hers at how perfectly they fit together.

The Guardsman didn’t even attempt to stop the satisfied smile that crossed his lips while Dannika screamed, “Oh my God, Wolfe, yes…please…more…”

He pushed his thumb against her aroused nub, rubbing circles at the same time he curled the tips of his fingers, still buried deep inside her, tormenting the bundle of nerves at the top of her channel. Her eyes flew open. Dannika speared him with a look so passionate, so possessive, and so raw, Wolfe was lost forever, adrift on their love.

Mischief twinkled in the depths of her eyes as Dannika reached between their bodies and quickly unzipped his pants, fisting him from root to tip as she grabbed the moisture from the tip for lubrication, working him faster and faster. Wolfe could only groan low in his throat, sure he’d died and gone to the Heavens.

Needing to be buried deep inside his mate, Wolfe pulled his fingers from her pussy, ignored her moans of loss, and shoved his pants to the floor. Pulling back, he reluctantly forced his dragoness to release his throbbing cock, smiling at the pout of her perfect lips as he rolled Dannika over, caged her in and whispered, “You are the most spectacular woman I’ve ever seen.”

Before Dannika could respond, he thrust his hard cock into her with such force that the tip touched her womb. His dragoness rolled her hips, their new position causing his erection to fill her as never before. They fit together like glove and hand. Wolfe could think of no place he ever wanted to be but within the paradise of his Dannika.

Completely seated within her, Wolfe stopped all motion and watched as his dragoness dropped her head forward in a simple act of perfect submission. Her delicate hands clenched the dark blue comforter, her knuckles white as she used all her strength to stay on her knees. Dannika’s womb squeezed him tight, shattering his hard-fought control. Leaning forward, he grabbed both her shoulders and began to thrust, hard and fast, creating a perfect rhythm that can only occur between True Mates.

Dannika’s moans of ecstasy grew louder with each drive Wolfe made into her warm, wet flesh. She pushed back, meeting him thrust for thrust. Their movements became uncoordinated and frantic. He felt her orgasm building, threatening to take them both over the edge. Removing one of his hands from her shoulders, Wolfe palmed her breast, squeezing her hardened nipple between his thumb and forefinger, pushing Dannika into the most amazing orgasm that overtook them both.

Leaning forward, he rested his chest against her back, inhaled their combined scent, and bathed his senses in everything that he and his dragoness were together. His arm around her waist kept Dannika from falling when her legs threatened to fold. Kissing up her spine, his erection began to once again harden as she tightened around him.

Sliding from her warmth, Wolfe turned Dannika in his arms shocked when she pulled him to her, slammed her mouth to his, immediately demanding entrance as soon as her back had touched the bed. He could feel her need and that of her dragoness to claim what was hers and he had claimed her. It was exhilarating to know they were in it together…all the way…in all ways. Deepening their kiss, she rolled them over, moved her body over his, her thighs falling on either side of his, the wetness from their earlier lovemaking still warm on her curls.

Breaking their connection, Dannika sat up, giving Wolfe a coy look that suggested he was going to love whatever she had in mind. Her fingertips rubbed over his shoulders and across his chest, lightly toying with his nipples, making him shiver. Biting her bottom lip, she paid special attention to each ridge of his six-pack and then teased the thin line of hair leading toward his pelvis. It was sensory overload at its best. Wolfe’s eyes threatened to roll back in his head at the sheer pleasure of her fingers on his skin, but he forced them to stay put, not wanting to miss a second of what his beautiful mate had planned.

With her hands on his stomach and her eyes holding his captive, Dannika slid down his legs until his erection was just before her lips. The dragon knew immediately this was what paradise felt like. The tip of her tongue teased her bottom lip making Wolfe light-headed. She then captured the small bead of moisture at the tip of his erection with her tongue, and the Guardsman knew beyond all understanding that that one image would be burned into his memory for all time. Dannika tasted him again and he lost the fight as his eyes slid shut.

Massaging up and down his thighs, Dannika rubbed her cheek from the tip to the base of his cock. Her tongue lavished the vein that ran its length. Working her way back to the top, she dipped her tongue into the slit, teasing Wolfe until he his head was about to explode.

Then as if she didn’t know he was about to die, Dannika sucked as much of his length into her mouth as she could before hollowing out her cheeks. Wolfe’s hands pushed into her hair, careful not to pull but needing something to keep him grounded, to keep from exploding.

As she expertly worked him in and out of her lips, he grew larger and thicker, holding on by the thinnest thread not to bath her mouth in his essence. Teasing him, Dannika let his cock slide out of her mouth until just the head remained on her lips. Looking up at him through the fringe of her long, dark lashes, Wolfe basked in the love he saw in her eyes. Groaning loud and long as she sucked him back into her mouth with such force the head of his cock touched the back of her throat, forcing the dragon thanked the Universe for the perfection that was his mate.

Slowly massaging him over and over with hands and mouth, Dannika hummed her satisfaction, sending magnificent vibrations throughout Wolfe’s body, driving him headlong towards his release. With paradise within his grasp, Dannika removed his throbbing erection from her mouth and massaged first one of his balls and then the other, taking them into her hot, wet mouth, until he finally take a much-needed deep breath.

His dragoness, however, had no intention of letting him rest. From one heartbeat to the next, she took his erection back into the splendor of her mouth. Placing both her hands around the base, she worked him in and out, sucking and humming until he was helpless but to release onto her tongue. She devoured all he gave, continuing to work her lips up and down until he began to harden again.

It was blissful torture and Wolfe longed to return the favor. Putting his hands under her arms, he slid her up his body and rolled them over until he lay comfortably in the haven of his mate. One more quick move had Wolfe’s head between Dannika’s thighs with her legs lovingly over his shoulders. With his mouth just inches from her center, he rubbed his nose against her warm, wet curls. Her scent filled his being. It was sunshine and light, hope and home. It was the promise of an eternity of bliss. Wolfe knew in that moment he had to taste of her nectar or go insane. Giving into temptation, he licked up and down the glistening seam of her pussy.

Groaning deep in his throat, her taste burst upon his tongue. Needing to have his mouth all over her and his tongue buried deep inside her, Wolfe placed his hands under her ass, lifted her hot, wet center to his face, and began to feast. Driving his tongue into her warmth as far as he could go, Wolfe licked every inch of his amazing mate that he could reach. Curling the end of his tongue, he teased the bundle of nerves he knew from experience set her on fire.

Dannika’s hands grabbed his curls, pulling incredible force, letting him know he was doing everything right. She gasped for breath and he smiled against her skin. Using the flat of his tongue, he licked her outer lips from bottom to top, teasing circles around her clit on every pass. Her legs tightened around his head. Her heels dug into his back. She moaned and mewled as he sucked her swollen nub between his lips, teasing it with his tongue until Dannika shattered, his name upon her lips.

Wolfe continued to drink the honey that flowed from his dragoness. He nuzzled and nipped her puffy lips until her hands slid from his hair and her breathing began to slow. Carefully lifting her legs off his shoulders, he massaged her gorgeous thighs, loving the feel of her flesh in his hands. Looking up her body, he was once again breathless from the beauty of his dragoness. There had never been anything as beautiful as Dannika lying in his bed, completely satiated from his love, looking like the queen that she was.

He kissed her hip, made his way to her belly button, and then nibbled around her stomach to the sweet spot between her breasts. Their hearts beat as one - one in body, one in mind, one in soul…always.  He kissed just the tips of her hardened nipples and chuckled as she arched her back, begging for more attention.

Kissing up her neck, he paid special attention to his bite still glowing on her skin. He knew the day they pledged their undying devotion to one another in the way of the Ancients, she would wear another mark, one designed by the Universe, but until then he was happy with the one she had. He would never tire of seeing his bite on her skin. Dannika sighed and moved her head to the side, allowing him greater access. He spent long, glorious minutes nipping and kissing her silky skin until her nails dug into his biceps.

Dannika surprised him by grabbing his head and slamming her mouth to his. Wolfe immediately opened to her. He loved her passion, her heat… he simply adored all of his dragoness. His mate was as strong in bed as she was everywhere else. Her hands in his hair and her tongue working his mouth had him more than ready to explode once again. He shifted his hips, pushing into her until he could go no farther. The feel of her muscles contracting around his cock made it impossible for him to hold still. Sliding out of her until only the tip of him rested within her opening, he commanded, “Look at me, Dannika. Look at your dragon who loves you more than any man has ever loved his mate.”

Thrusting into her, he pulled right back out, starting a rhythm that Dannika easily met stroke for stroke. They stared into one another’s eyes as their passion exploded. He pushed her knees toward her chest, lifting her bottom off the bed, going deeper into her. Rolling his hips, the head of his cock caressing her sensitive bundle of nerves. The walls of her vagina closed tighter, pulling him closer, keeping them locked together. Moving back, he slammed into her, bumping her clit with his pelvis and causing them both to struggle for their next breath.

Dannika’s mouth opened in a silent scream as she reached her climax. Her beautiful grey eyes holding his with the promise of eternity making Wolfe helpless but to follow her. The Guardsman loved his dragoness with all that he was… completely and totally with no reservations.

Hours later, after making love until neither could move, Dannika was laid across his chest as Wolfe enjoyed the feel of her long silken tresses sliding through his fingers. Sighing as his dragoness whispered his name, he answered, “Yes, mo ghrá?”

“I love you, Wolfe McCallum. So very, very much.”

“And I love you, my Morning Star, with every fiber of my being.”

He felt her smile against his skin as she chuckled, “Becky just said their decorating for our mating party tonight.”

“I hope they take lots of pictures,” Wolfe laughed.

Looking up at him with her brows furrowed, Dannika asked, “Why?”

Kissing her quickly, the Guardsman pulled back, and looking right into her eyes promised, “We’ll need to see if they had fun because I’m never letting you out of this bed again.”

Laughing out loud, the full force of the sassy nature he adored shining in her eyes, Dannika waggled her eyes as she closed the distance between them and laid her lips to his. “I like the way you think my dragon named Wolfe.”

 

THE END

(At Least for Now…)
