Dragon 4 Chapter 22 (Patreon)

My body had already been primed after my interaction with Tyrande. Yev, asking me to mark her, put me over the edge.

"Zach. I need you." Yev ran her hands along my chest and around the back of my head, pulling me down to her.

Her breath washed over my face, and I closed my eyes as I kissed her.

Her lips curled around my own, pushing and pulling, encouraging me. I kissed her back, pulling her into my body as she opened her mouth slightly, allowing me to enter and taste her.

"Yev." I groaned. My erection rose to the occasion, already more than ready to slip into her folds.

She put a finger to my lips and blushed as her other hand came between us, and her long fingers curled around my shaft.

Her fingers flexed and shifted, tugging at me like she was playing an instrument. "Tell me what feels good."

"Tighter, and brush the head with your thumb." I put my face in the crook of her neck and nibbled along her neck.

I wanted to mark her so badly. And I knew exactly where I would place my mark. My lips went down to her collar, and I nibbled at the spot.

Yev shivered under me and pumped me more energetically. She was in a hurry to finish and get her mark.

I kept myself hovering over her with one arm. The other cupped her chest. Yev was thinner, a feline grace to her. Her chest was just barely a handful, but they were more than enough. Running my thumb over her nipple, I circled her areolas as the pink bud perked up.

Seeing the other looking lonely, I dipped my head and kissed it, licking the other nipple into similar excitement. I could smell her arousal as I tugged on the nipple with my teeth.

Knowing what she was craving, I slowly ran my hand down her sleek abs, watching her body shudder with need for me as I massaged just above her sex.

"Yes." Yev hissed. She spread her legs, becoming wild with lust.

But rather than dive right in, I grabbed her toned thighs and walked my hand down to her ass.

"Mine." I growled, taking a firm grip on it.

"Yours. All yours." She promised me quickly, her face flush as she tilted it to the side in surrender. The way she gave me full access to her neck had my jaw aching to shift.

I needed to be inside her. Immediately.

Done playing games, I lined myself up and tested the waters with my tip.

Her legs hooked around the small of my back and gently pushed me in. "Don’t be gentle. I want it rough. Bury me in these coins."

I pushed into her. She was tight, but she was also slick with need. "Careful what you ask for." I felt like a wild animal on the edge of being set loose.

As soon as I bottomed out inside her, I moved and pinned her shoulders down, bracing myself up as I started to pump into her sweet paradise. "Yev, you feel so good."

When she tensed her thighs around me, it became even tighter, making me really work to push. Her hips lifted with every retreat.

I pounded her hips into the coins, making them clank musically. A few clattered down the mound.

"Yes. Harder. I want your kid. Put it in me!" She begged, her hands scratching at my side.

I lost it, shoving her shoulders into the pile of gold and shaking the whole mound as I tried to put a child in her. "Yev. You're mine." I growled, feeling my peak coming.

"Yours to breed. Come for me." She stared back up at me with adoration in her eyes.

My jaw crackled as it shifted, and I buried my face against her collar, biting down even as magic seared my jaw.

Yev screamed in release and her hips bucked as I pumped my hot seed into her womb and marked her as mine.

I shuddered in my own pleasure of my release before collapsing on top of her.

"Yes, my mate. Rest for a moment on top of me, then we will do this again and again until you put a child in me." She whispered into my ear.

I growled, and my cock twitched inside of her.

Coming down from the moment, I turned my head and regarded her. "Are you on the pill?"

"I am, well, the magical equivalent, but seeing how much it drives you wild, I'm going to keep telling you to breed me. We can talk about stopping it later so you can really breed me, fill me with your dragonlings."

Once again, I twitched inside of her at the idea. I didn't even lift myself off of her, just slowly stroking inside of her while laying on her. "You are playing with fire."

"Maybe I want to get burned." She nibbled at my neck. "But I want to change it up. Get off of me for a second."

I pulled out of her, missing the snug warmth instantly.

Yev rolled over and got on her hands and knees. "Get back in there." She wiggled her tight little bubble butt; her sex was visible between her thighs.

I grabbed her hips and dug my knees into the gold coins until I was at the right height to slide into her wet warmth once again. "You feel great." I ran my palm along the small of her back, making her arch downward and creating more fiction for myself.

"Breed me, my mate." She moaned and made eye contact over her shoulder as she wiggled her hips into me.

"No, I'll savor you this time." Slowly, I pushed in and out of her, dragging along her walls.

The first round had taken the edge off, and I was going to play with my newest mate.

***

Yev lay panting amid the gold coins, a few of them sticking to her sweaty body.

"Zach, do you think the crystal is here?"

I chuckled. "Really haven't looked around this cave. Something distracted me." I kissed her legs and thought about another round.

She traced the multiple bite marks on her neck and shoulders. Only one of them was magical in nature, but I kept wanting to bite her and reclaim her every time we coupled.

I realized I might have gone a little overboard. There was no way the others would miss the marks when we made our way back, but I couldn’t help the smug satisfaction of my beast as it took in the marks. They decorated her far better than any necklace.

"Don't you dare bite me again." She pouted, touching the enchanted bite and tracing it. "I'm already going to have problems when I get back to the group."

I shrugged. "They will have to deal. You are my mate now, and there is no going back. And besides, we knew each other before I came and met any of these other dragons. You are rightfully first."

"True. Now, let’s focus on what we came here to do. Let's see..." she trailed off, getting to her feet and wandering the gold pile until she pulled at a cloth stuck in it.

It was a bright red dress. It had rubies woven in and a plunging neckline that made me lick my lips.

"Don't." She warned me as she slipped it on. "I'm getting dressed so that you will stop seducing me. I think this cave might be where she’d hide it."

I growled and stood, pulling a pair of jeans out of my bracer. "Covering yourself in jewels only makes me want you more."

She gave me a knowing smile. "Noted. But how the heck are you still horny?" We’d gone at it several times by that point.

I shrugged. "They always said dragon libido was crazy."

"This is just absurd. You need a big harem or you are going to wear us all out." She kicked at the pile of gold and then slid down the side deeper into the cave.

Jumping, I hit the slope with the heel of my foot and slid down as casually as I could. The cave wasn't deep. But beyond the massive gold pile seemed to be plenty of junk. Swords were on racks, pieces of cracked armor littered the space with more than a few skulls.

"You might be right." I told Yev. "These are trophies. Weapons, armor, and skulls of those she's defeated. Either that or mother dearest had been collecting skulls for the skull throne."

"Skull throne?" Yev raised an eyebrow. "Is there something I need to know about my mate?"

I shrugged. "You were the one that begged me to bite you. Welcome to the family. Now you need to collect blood for the blood god and skulls for the skull throne."

She paused, hesitation painted her face.

"It's an internet joke." I rolled my eyes. Sometimes I forgot they were disconnected from it. "Right? There's no paranormal blood god, is there?"

Yev breathed a sigh of relief. "No, not that I'm aware of. But I'm sure there is something that could be construed as one."

I pushed over a stack of armor that clattered to the floor, breaking into pieces, worn away by time.

I spoke to myself, trying to puzzle it out. "If I were Tia, and I had half of the power of a fae queen, where would I put it?"

"How about on a shelf, collecting dust next to skulls?" Yev said, sounding oddly specific.

Following her line of sight, I saw a jagged pile of dust laying next to skulls.

Wading through the mess, I reached the spot and brushed aside the dust, revealing a brilliant amethyst crystal that churned with sealed magic.

Even standing right next to it, I couldn't feel the mana from it. But when I picked it up, I could feel the raw power in it.

"Oh. This is it." Inside the purple crystal, the colors swirled and drew my attention deeper into it.

There was something inside, beckoning to me, tantalizing my senses. I drew the crystal closer, wondering if I would see what was calling to me.

"Zach?" Yev pulled my attention away.

"Huh?"

"You've been staring at it for a minute." Yev replied, eyeing me.

I blinked, glancing back at it, wondering where that minute had just gone. "Just mesmerizing to look at." I stuffed it in my bracer, feeling the need to get it out of my sight. "Come on. Let's get back to the rest. I heard they were preparing another pig."

Yev licked her lips. "Sex always makes me hungry."

"Makes you hungry? I did all the work." I teased.

"Don't make it sound like you didn't love every second of it." She patted me on the cheek, suddenly far more familiar with me. "Can you hold the dress for me?"

It fell to the floor, weighed down by the jewels.

I licked my lips as I took in her curves.

"Bad." She bopped me on the nose. "I'm going to shift. Meet me outside." Yev took two large strides as her skin turned green and she expanded.

I stuffed her dress into my bracer with a grumble before I eyed the massive pile of gold.

Holding up my bracer, I activated the enchantment.

It was like a vacuum as it sucked up the gold, but it was too slow.

Pausing, I shifted. The bracer grew along with my body.

I tried again, waving it over the massive mounds of treasure, sucking up most of the nearby gold.

Didn't scour every corner, knowing that there would be more in Tiamat's study than my bracer could ever hold.

I turned back around and thumped my way out of the cave.

Yev met me by winding her neck around mine in a serpentine hug. "Love you. Now, let's go. And be prepared for some angry dragons."

"Why don't you just heal the bites?"

She gasped, pulling out of entwining our necks. "Because I don't want to. They are tokens of your love and possessiveness. I like them and will let them heal naturally." With that, she took a few stomping steps and took to the air once again.

I rolled my eyes, women. Rather than try to understand them, I beat my mismatched wings, taking to the air after her.

She flew quickly, forcing me to speed up to keep up with her.

I was several times her size, but she was far more experienced in the air, darting forward and dodging me as I tried to catch her. If I caught her, my beast was clamoring for another round.

But soon we reached the others, and she dove, landing next to the fire, which smelled deliciously like roasted pig.

I landed beside her and shifted back to normal, except for a little drool building up in the corner of my mouth. "That smells delicious." I said.

But I received silence in response. None of them were even paying attention to me.

All the women present were staring at Yev, covered in bite marks.

Right. "Here, Yev, your dress." I pulled it out of my bracer and handed it to her, only then realizing I was making it worse.

"Holy shit, that is a dress?" Tyrande tried to distract them. "Are those actual rubies?"

Yev nodded excitedly and hurried over to her sister. "We found it in one of Tiamat's treasure piles."

While she had tried to soften the moment for her sister, I could see Tyrande also eyeing the bite marks.

Chloe went into a coughing fit that sounded suspiciously like she was trying to smother a laugh, while Larisa did her best to look innocent.

"Is it customary to not mention the fact that she's very clearly been claimed by our king?" Polydora broke the ice like a sledgehammer to a car windshield. "She is covered in your bites and reeks of your sex."

I noted Polydora was not subtle.

"Poly!" Trina chided her.

"What? She clearly has mated; the same thing we all want. Come, Yev, share the tale of your first mating with our king. We are interested to know what he likes. Well, beyond using you as a chew toy." She managed to say it all with a straight face.

I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to be appalled or impressed.

Tyrande held up a hand. "Um, question. Does he always bite this much?" She looked at my current mates, as if they held some secret.

Scarlett shrugged. "Sometimes he can get a little bitey with Morgana, but she can handle it. I only get nibbles besides this one." She pulled back her biker jacket to show off her own mark.

"It helps if you have a bone or something in bed. You can shove in his mouth when he's getting a little snappy." Jadelyn bit the air for emphasis before she broke into peels of laughter.

The dragons looked like they were taking notes.

I rolled my eyes. "There are no bones in bed. I do not require a bone, nor have we ever used one.” I turned to Jadelyn. “Don't mislead the dragons or they will start thinking strange thoughts."

Tyrande held up her hand like she was asking a question in class, but spoke when she had my attention. "So, just for clarity's sake, if I don't want to have to wear turtlenecks for the rest of my life, do I need to bring a chew toy to bed with me?" She could barely hold back her laughter as she said it.

"Sister." Yev pouted, looking a little embarrassed. Just moments ago, she had been so proud of the marks on her.

"He slept with my baby sister. I get to make fun of him." Tyrande turned to me. "You'll take good care of my sister from now on, right?"

"The best." I said without hesitation.

Tyrande gave me a sharp nod. At least I had her approval.

"Are you leaving me, Tyrande?" Yev asked, caution in her tone.

"No, but I still have to look out for my little sister. That comes first." She put her hands on her hips and stared down at the marked up green dragon. "My relationship with you always comes first."

I pat Tyrande's head. "Glad you are such a good sister. But I'm starving. Let’s eat." While the shock of my mating with Yev was amusing, I wanted food. The pig sizzling over the fire was going to make me snappy in other ways.

Larisa rushed to tear off one of the pig’s legs and give it to me. "Worked up a good appetite while the rest of us were diligently looking for the crystal?"

I took it from her and tore into the meat. "Actually, Yev found it." I failed to mention it was after the sex and let them believe what they wanted.

Pulling the purple crystal from my bracer, I held it for everyone to see.

"Very pretty." Larisa's focus was drawn into the crystal, much like mine earlier.

I frowned, watching her must have been like my first view of it. "It holds a vast amount of power, and I'm going to consume it before we leave and I duel the spider queen."

"Are you sure that is the best course of action? Foreign power is often dangerous." Polydora warned me.

I grunted in response. Ikta had taken out multiple dragons before she’d absorbed the first half of her power. I needed the edge if I had any chance of winning this duel.
