Her Elemental Dragons: Embrace the Dark: Chapter 9
I looked down at myself, suddenly nervous. I’d packed a light bag with a change of clothes and a silky tunic that would be more appropriate than my traveling clothes, but hadn’t changed into them yet. I’d expected to have more time to prepare somehow.
I sucked in a sharp breath. “I’m dusty.”
Erroh chuckled. “I can fix that.”
With the sweep of his hand, a breeze swirled around me and sent the dust flying. It also undid my bun, loosening my hair, and we both laughed as my curls went wild.
He moved close and tried to smooth my hair down with a grin. “Sorry! I’m still learning.”
I pressed my hands to his cheeks. There was no reason for me to be nervous, not when I was here with my best friend. “You’re perfect.”
With his hands still tangled in my hair, we moved together for a kiss. It started out sweet, but quickly turned deeper, as the magnitude of the moment settled upon us. After so many years wishing we could be together but fearing it was impossible, tonight we would finally be bound together as mates.
Erroh broke off the kiss to lead me to the large bed, where he began unlacing his shirt, then shrugged it off as I stared in amazement at his sculpted chest. I’d seen him shirtless before, and it had been like looking upon a dessert I wasn’t allowed to eat.
Tonight I could devour him.
I began removing my own shirt as Erroh watched, and his eyes flew straight to my hands as they moved down my chest. The weight of his gaze excited me and made me want to keep going. When my shirt was completely undone, I left it on so it gaped in the front without exposing my breasts.
We both pulled off our boots next, and when I bent down, my breasts spilled out of my shirt. When I rose, the shirt slid off my shoulders to the floor behind me, leaving me exposed. Erroh’s sharp breath told me he liked the sight. I’d never been naked in front of a man before, but I wasn’t shy either, and the look on Erroh’s face encouraged me to keep going.
He put his thumbs in the waistband of his pants and tugged down. I mimicked him, both of us kicking off our trousers simultaneously. And there it was. My first glimpse of the completely naked male form. I’d seen men fighting, sparring, swimming, but never this part of them.
His hard cock pointed at me as if it knew the direction it wanted him to move, and he stepped close, sliding his arms around my waist. I had to touch him too. I couldn’t help myself. Lifting my hands, I placed one on his hard chest and the other on his neck as I stared at his lips, willing him to take the lead. His calloused hands slid down my hips while he pressed his lips to mine, and I gasped against him as his tongue pushed into my mouth. My body acted of its own accord, arching toward him, eager for his naked body to press against mine.
‘Erroh,’ I breathed when he stopped kissing me to trail his lips down my neck.
“I’m sure you know this, but I’ve never done this before. Have you?”
He paused and then looked up at me. “Only a few times. When you made it clear we couldn’t be together, I tried to use other women to forget you, but it never helped, not one bit. The only woman I’ve ever wanted is you.”
My cheeks flushed at that, and he pulled me back against him and resumed his exploration of my body with his tongue. I ran my hands down his body, then lost myself for a moment as his lips closed around my nipple. Sensations I’d never experienced before shot through my body, right to my core, and I sensed I was growing wet. His hands on my naked skin only increased my desire, as did the feel of his hard body under my fingertips. Years of looking but not touching had finally ended in this moment, and I couldn’t get enough.
Neither could Erroh. He sucked on each of my breasts while stroking my body slowly, then we floated together toward the big bed. He set me down upon it, then spread my legs wide as he hovered over me. I thought it would happen, his cock finally breaching me, but then his head dropped.
He grinned up at me. “I want to make sure you’re nice and ready for me so there’s no pain. Don’t worry, I read all about this in a book.”
It was such an Erroh thing to say that I laughed, but the sound quickly died in my throat as his mouth pressed to the aching spot between my legs. Pleasure like I’d never experienced before spread through me as his tongue danced along my folds and his fingers slid inside me, and then he did things that had me moaning so loud, I briefly worried the people in the temple might be able to hear us. I didn’t much care though, especially when he sucked on me in a way that caused an orgasm to sweep through me like a tornado.
As my body twitched with warm pleasure, he slowly moved up my body, until he hovered over me. His eyes gazed into mine as his cock brushed against my thigh. “Are you ready?”
“Gods, yes,” I managed, reaching up to wrap my arms around his neck.
“I love you, Sora. I always have.”
“I love you too.”
He captured my lips in a passionate kiss as his hard length slowly pushed inside me. The pressure was intense and I gasped, but then he paused and waited for me to adjust to his size. I had nothing to compare it to, but he felt huge inside me, and I wasn’t sure how he would ever fit. But he took his time until he was all the way inside, filling me completely.
“Sora, this is incredible,” Erroh said, pressing his face against my shoulder. “I dreamed of this moment for so long, and it’s even better than I expected.”
I wasn’t so sure, until he began to slowly slide in and out of me, and then things quickly turned pleasurable again. Soon my body took over, instinctively knowing how to move in time with his body so that we rocked together, taking us to new heights. I dug my nails into his shoulders as he thrust inside me faster, and all I could do was moan and hold on to him as the pleasure built. He slipped one hand between us and began stroking me in time with his movements, and I threw my head back as another climax took hold of me. He let out a shout as he increased his pace and came at the same time, spilling his seed inside me.
As he did, a huge gust of wind swept around us, then lifted us into the air. Even knowing something about what to expect, it made me gasp and cling harder to Erroh. The air swirled around our entwined bodies and we flew high up among the stars, the cool night breeze kissing our naked skin. Power spread through me like crackling lightning, but Erroh only held me tighter, until we slowly floated back down to the bed.
The wind disappeared as quickly as it started, and Erroh and I gazed into each other’s eyes. “Nothing has ever felt so right as this moment,” he said.
I reached up to play with his dark hair. “We’re mates now, for all time. Bonded together for the rest of our lives.”
“It’s about damn time.” He grinned and lowered his head for another kiss.
We stayed on the bed like that for some time, just kissing and lazily exploring each other’s bodies, before I remembered there was more to this bonding ritual. We reluctantly put our clothes back on, with plans to take them off again soon and return to bed, then made our way to the edge of the platform. Erroh glanced at me and squeezed my hand, with eager eyes and a nervous smile. This was where the Air God had appeared to my parents, and we held our breath while we waited for him to arrive.
And we waited.
And we waited.
And the Air God never came.
