Starbeam: A Dragonian Series Novel

ALBERT

Katherine’s first night wasn’t as glamorous for her as it was for me. She had pain, but I couldn’t wait to be inside her again. I couldn’t wait for her to reach the stage where it would be the only thing on her mind too. But right now she was running away from me.

The past two nights she begged me to just wait. Finally, I discovered why she wanted me to wait. Her mother hadn’t told her a damn thing.

“It’s not that time of month, sweetheart.”

“How do you know?”

“You don’t have your virtue anymore.”

She swallowed hard. “I know that.”

“I basically broke it, that’s why you were bleeding.”

“Oh,” she blushed.

“Your mother didn’t tell you anything?”

“No, she never talked to me about this.”

I frown. “Why not?”

“I guess she thought she had more time. Or because I hadn’t reached that age yet, Al. I didn’t even know if I could have children. I should’ve told you this before you wanted to marry me.” Tears filled her eyes.

“Hey, stop. Okay. It’s not the end of the world.”

“I know I will have a child one day, I just don’t know when.”

“How do you know that?”

“I asked the pond.”

“In the Sacred Cavern.”

She nodded. “I had to ask it something and I wanted to know that.”

“What did it show you?”

“A boy and a girl. The girl looked a lot like you.”

“And the boy.”

“Like Andrew.”

I laughed.

“She was really beautiful, just like her father.”

I grabbed her knuckles and kissed them. She was the air I breathed.

She sighed. “Okay, fine. I can really see you want to do it again.” She said and I raised my eyes all excited.

It made her laugh but it drowned out as my lips touched hers.

I loved this woman with all of my heart and this time I will show her just how amazing it could be.

I started taking off her clothes fast.

“You are seriously greedy tonight.” She said as I worked fast.

“Two days is a long time, Katie.”

She laughed as I finally got her out of her corset.

I pushed her down on the bedroll and took off her pants. There was no waiting tonight.

She didn’t even wear undergarments underneath her trousers which boggled my mind.

I bend down and buried my face in between her legs, licking her in between her folds.

She gasped. “Al what are you doing?” She grunted softly.

“Showing you how awesome this can be.”

She chuckled and sucked her breath as my tongue glided into her sex again. I flicked my tongue fast, eating her up.

She started to moan again as my finger slipped into her opening.

She pulled my hair tighter.

“The itch is starting again.” She said.

I pumped with my finger faster and she breathed louder and complained more.

“This is amazing,” she finally said.

She was wet and as she complained louder, I knew she was getting closer.

I untied the laces on my pants with my one hand, wanting to be in her just before she exploded.

“Don’t stop.” She spoke through gritted teeth. I pulled down my trousers and stopped as I guided my shaft into her opening. I pushed inside of her, with a grunt at how tight she was and picked up the pace as she was close.

She bit hard on my shoulder muffling her complaints.

“You like it?”

She nodded. “Don’t stop.”

I moved faster and she complained more.

The feeling was growing inside of me stronger too and I was close. She let out a muffled scream against my skin as I felt her contracting against my shaft.

It was driving me out of my mind but I pushed through her complaints and muffled screams as I pumped into her faster and harder.

I was close, and my mind felt as if it was going to explode.

I grunted hard as I ejaculated inside her again and again.

I kissed her on her lips.

Her kiss was greedy again and she just looked at me through half moon eyes as the kiss stopped. “What the hell was that?”

I started to laugh. “Did you enjoy it?”

“That was nothing like the other night.” She was out of breath.

“I know. It’s addictive.”

She chuckled. “It is.”

Her lips found mine again and it was time to visit the geyser.

Inside was magical. It was a place where we really connected and talked about each other’s past and the future.

She loved all my ideas.

She ended up on my lap again and I chuckled as she wanted more.

She was reaching this stage faster than I thought she would.

That was our pace after all.

Her touch was driving me insane and it was incredible how fast she became so comfortable with me.

I sucked on her breasts as she rubbed herself against me, getting me back into the mood for more.

I took her right in the geyser, making love to her again.

It was slow and passionate.

She had seen children in the pond. We would have children and I wasn’t going to worry about her not receiving the signs of her womanhood yet.

She was a woman through and through and she was mine.

The days were getting so long, we both couldn’t wait for the nights. Katherine was on fire. I wanted her there, so I shouldn’t complain and every night it was getting better and better. She was getting more comfortable with having sex with me too and she wanted to try different things which drove me insane.

Who would have thought that I had awoken a beast? I didn’t even have to play with her to get her in the mood. She was greedy each night and just wanted me inside of her.

I hated the days and wished we could just lie in bed all day, making love all day until the feeling would pass, but I doubted it would ever pass with her.

Then one afternoon when my own need was too much, I got a surprise knowing that her need was just as bad.

She pushed me against a tree and riled me up just there.

She was daring and everything I ever wanted in a woman.

We made love beneath that tree and she left me spent as she walked away whistling.

Flustered and hungry for more, I had to wait till night.

I couldn’t wait to retire.

And that night, she made sure we both got enough.

It carried on for hours. I was beyond tired but I couldn’t say ‘no’ to her, and the next morning, it just carried on.

“What did you do to me?” She cried animatedly as she lay in my arms.

“I told you, it’s addictive.” I kissed the top of her hair.

“Addictive,” she looked at me. “This isn’t addictive Al, it’s worse. I can’t stop.”

I chuckled. “I’m not complaining.”

“You should. It’s all I can think about.”

“It’s all I think about too.”

“It’s not normal.”

“It is normal. Relax.” I chuckled.

She kissed me again. There was no stopping her. I was one hell of a lucky man.

KATIE

“I never see you anymore,” Maggy complained.

“I’m sorry.” I felt like crying. I didn’t care what Albert said, this wasn’t normal. Tears welled up in my eyes.

“Hey what is wrong?”

“I don’t know.” I started to cry.

“Come here,” she hugged me tight. “Is it Albert, is he treating you good?”

“No,” I sniffed. “It’s not Albert, it’s me.”

“Katherine there is nothing wrong with you. What is going on?”

I shook my head. “I have never felt this way about anyone before, Maggy.”

She smiled. “You should, he’s your husband.”

“Goran says his dad won’t accept this.”

“He is a grown man for crying out loud.”

“I can’t lose him, Maggy. I would die if I did.”

“Okay, now you are scaring me. What did you do to my friend and who are you, because the Katie I know doesn’t need anyone to define her.”

“I know. I just don’t know what to do if this isn’t going to last.”

“Katie? He loves you. For some reason he can’t keep his eyes off you.”

“Yes, and I can’t keep off him. I’m like, I don’t know, one of those tavern girls with him.”

Maggy gasped. “Katherine Malone Squires.”

I laughed. It was the first time she had called me that and I wiped off a tear. “It’s the truth. I need distance from him. I feel sorry for him, really I do.”

“So, you are enjoying it?”

“Maggy. It’s addictive. The first time was not like that at all, but it gets better and better each time. He struggles to walk for crying out loud.”

She snorted. “He doesn’t complain.”

“He should. I’m a menace.”

“Men like that. Helmut is begging me and I told him we are not married yet. If he wants me that bad he will put a ring on my finger first.”

“Good. Something changes when you do that with a man. He needs to be your husband. You make sure of that first, Maggy. Promise me.”

“I promise. I’m not that easy. I don’t care if he is the prince of Tith.”

I hugged Maggy again.

“Don’t feel bad, Katie. A war is coming. And something tells me that anything can happen.”

“Don’t say that please. I can’t even think about that.”

“It’s Albert Malone, Katherine. The crown prince. He has a dragon, and he will not perish in this war. Neither will you. Everything is going to work out just the way it should.”

I smiled and nodded breaking our hug.

I got up. “I need to go and hunt. Clear my head. Or something.”

Maggy snorted again. She thought it was hilarious. I didn’t.

I picked up my bow and arrows without looking for Albert. He needed a break too.

I darted into the woods and tried to clear my mind, but it was no use.

Still, I wasn’t going to give up.

I quieted my mind by listening to the forest, trying to hear the scurrying of a small rodent or a big one.

Two arms grabbed me from behind and I shrieked.

Albert laughed and my heart eased immediately.

“What are you doing here, I’m giving you a break.”

“A break from what?” He grinned.

“From me. I’m a menace.”

“Oh, Katie.” He said. “You are the last person I want to take a break from.”

“Albert I’m serious. It’s not normal.”

“Then we are both abnormal as I can’t get you out of my mind.” He lifted me up and we kissed each other.

He fiddled with my pants and put me down to take them off.

My undergarments covered my buttocks as he was starting to pull of his pants.

We were like animals, didn’t care where we did it.

It wasn’t normal!

But when he was inside of me, I didn’t care anymore. I just didn’t want him to stop.

I muffled my complaining against his shoulder. I hated the material as he took me against a tree.

This feeling was aching good and I was close to exploding.

“I’m close,” I said and kissed his lips.

He moved faster and we both reached it at the same time.

He stilled inside of me and grunted in the nape of my neck leaving my body again with goosebumps and fully satisfied.

I started to laugh. “Someone is going to find us.”

“No, they won’t. They know to keep their distance from us.”

I laughed softly.

“You are going to be the death of me woman.”

“Don’t say that. I’ll die if you are dead.”

He chuckled. “Feeling is mutual then.”

“You have no idea.”

He slipped out of me and put me down.

“See you tonight Mrs Malone.”

“Excuse me it’s your highness.”

He roared. “How rude of me.” He bowed in front of me as I pulled up my pants.

“Go, before I attack you again.” I pushed him away and I heard his laughter as I tried to take up my hunting once more.

I couldn’t get the stupid smile off my face and kept focusing on what I had seen in the pond. A girl. She would be in our lives. With the way the two of us were carrying on, something told me it would be soon.
