The Scars of Her Dragon (Dragon Guard Series Book 14) (16 page)

The Elders and her mother left the platform and disappeared along with the Guardsmen, leaving the couple blissfully alone.

Staring at the man who owned her heart and soul, Olive again thanked the Universe. The longer they stared at one another, the brighter his hazel eyes became until she realized they were glowing.

“
So are yours
, mo ghra’,” he grinned as he lowered his mouth to hers. Their lips touched. Electricity, hot and fiery, sparked between them. His voice in her mind whispered,
Ta’ mo chroi istigh ionat,”
as their kiss took on a life of its own.

Kellan was
everywhere
. She had always been able to feel him in her heart and soul, but now everything was more intense, more real...more of everything. Olive was set ablaze from the inside out, open...body, heart, and soul to her mate. A sting on the left side of her neck let her know the marking was complete. Kellan wrapped her in his arms. He trailed kisses across her jaw and down her neck, paying special attention to the spot that told the world she was his. As he licked and sucked the offending area, all thoughts of anything but their naked bodies loving one another fled from her mind.

Her fingers wound through his hair as he continued to lavish her neck and shoulders. She pulled his mouth to hers, kissing him until they were both breathless. Kellan pulled back and it was then she saw the glint of a secret in his eyes. She feigned annoyance and asked, “Exactly what are you up to, Mr. Aherne?”

“Oh, just you wait and see, Mrs. Ahern.”

A
udrey, Calysta, Kyra, and her cousins had done a great job with the reception. There was enough food and drink for several armies, a band composed of werepanthers from Max’s Pride that were so good Olive couldn’t believe they weren’t professionals, and the decorations were excellent. Olive and Kellan had laughed and danced until the wee hours of the morning, looking for the chance to sneak away and be alone, to celebrate their mating in a special way.

Finally, the band played a crowd favorite that had everyone dancing and the happy couple made their escape. Kellan scooped Olive into his arms and sped to their home, through the door and up the stairs before anyone had a chance to miss them. The moonlight shone in the window behind her dragon bathing him in a warm glow, making him look like her very own superhero. She thought of how miraculous he was, how much he meant to her, and how they had the rest of their very long lives to love one another, and felt as if she could fly without her wings.

Unable to form a single coherent thought, Olive threw herself into Kellan’s arms, kissing him with every fiber of her being. Sliding her hands under his surcoat, she pushed the garment up his chest and over his shoulders until it became imperative to break their kiss for a split second to drop the jacket to the ground. One quick kiss later, his black T-shirt followed the same path. Her fingers danced over his amazing body. Electrical currents arched between them. Sparks raced throughout her body landing deep in her womb and causing a fire only Kellan could quench.

Sliding down his body, Olive kissed, tasted, and teased. She memorized the body of the man the Universe had made for her and her alone. Paying special attention to the scarred side of his torso, the little dove kissed up and down every ridge and ripple of the damaged skin, making sure he knew she accepted and loved all of him...unconditionally.

Over his heart, she came eye to eye with the tattoo representing his dragon. Olive outlined the beast’s ridged brow and the long curved battle horns upon his head with the tip of her finger, giggling as goose bumps rose all over her mate’s well-muscled chest. Continuing to trace, she followed the line of his neck to the massive wing that crossed Kellan’s collarbone and ended atop his shoulder.

Olive imagined the beast as her fingers made their way over the spikes that lined his spine and tail to the trident-shaped spade tip. Her imagination ran wild thinking of this beast in battle taking out whole hordes of his opponent with a mighty strike of his tail.

Lastly, and only because she simply could not resist, the little dove placed butterfly kisses on each of the long talons tipping his back feet. She smiled against Kellan’s heated skin when he hissed and held his breath with each caress. Her hand massaged the muscles of his six pack working towards the waistband of his pants, while her lips continued to nip and taste his delectable flesh. Olive simply could not get enough of her wonderful mate and reveled in the hiss from his mouth as her fingers teased his straining cock through the woolen fabric of his pants.

Pulling her hands to his belt, she slid the leather through the loops and smiled as the buckle clattered against the wood floor. Unbuttoning his pants, Olive let her hand follow the trail of dark hair that disappeared into his pants, sighing when her fingers stretched to cover the girth of his erection. Her heart sped as he throbbed in her embrace. Working her fist to the tip, she rubbed her thumb through the drop of wetness that had already gathered there, spreading the warm proof of his excitement all over his swollen head. Kellan’s fists clenched at his sides and in her mind, he growled, “
Olive,
mo chol beag
, I love you more than I can say
.”

“
And I love you
, mo ghra’, mo Dragon,” she whispered in return, rubbing her thumb along the thick pulsing vein on the underside of his erection.

Kellan rolled his hips, dragging his cock in and out of her clenched fist as his breathing became more erratic and stuttered. Looking up, she watched the pulse in his neck pound a heavy beat just below the spot where their mating mark, a double winged flame, shone on his skin. She smiled knowing she wore a matching mark telling the world to whom she belonged.

Groaning loudly, Kellan’s head fell backward and his fists beat against his tensed thighs, letting her know he was holding on by the thinnest of threads. Working her fist up and down his generous length, she used her free hand to shove his pants to the ground. As he kicked them out of the way, she placed her free hand on his thigh and leaned forward, taking as much of his erection into her mouth as she could. His essence exploded on her tongue. She tasted the salt of the sea and the purity of the air mixed with something totally unique...completely her Kellan.

Slowly and deliberately, she let him slide from her mouth, only to tease the slit at the tip with her tongue. Kellan’s hands were immediately in her hair. She could feel the tension building as his fingers gently massaged her scalp. The muscles under her hands quivered with his need to move his hips.

Longing to see her dragon utterly lost in the throes of passion, she sucked him back into her mouth until his erection touched the back of her throat before she hollowed her cheeks and swallowed. The low rumbling groan from Kellan nearly rattled the windows. His hands shifted to her shoulders and his hips drew back, attempting to pull his erection from her mouth.

Sliding her hand to the back of his thigh, she held tight and whispered,
“Please, Kellan, let me do this. Let me love you.”

Her dragon immediately stopped resisting and his barely intelligible groan let her know he understood. The renewed feelings that flowed between them spurred her on. Sliding her lips over him, Olive once again hollowed her cheeks, this time moving her fist up and down the base of his throbbing erection while using her free hand to tenderly tease and massage his balls.

A grumble that started low in his throat turned to a growl and ended up a bellow and her name flew from his lips. “Olive...oh Olive...
mo bheannacht
...
Beidh mé grá duít go geo!”

Not wanting to stop tasting and loving her dragon, the little dove hummed her agreement to his beautiful words. The vibrations from her response were a happy accident that caused him to groan loud and long and her to smile against his skin.

Lost to their passion, Kellan attempted to pull from her mouth with as much force as Olive tried to keep him there. The resulting motion was a give and take, in and out, where the couple met one another stroke for stroke. The faster they went the harder it became for her dragon to breathe and the more his balls tightened in her hand.

Needing to taste all that he was more than she needed her next breath, Olive quickened their pace, using her enhanced speed to move him in and out of her mouth faster and faster until Kellan roared her name to the Heavens. Olive swallowed every drop of his warm, wet essence, continuing to work him across her lips until his breathing slowed and his muscles relaxed.

Removing her hand from the back of his thigh, Kellan rolled his hips until he fell from her lips and then knelt before her. Placing his hands on her waist, her dragon looked at her with so much love, Olive didn’t even try to stop the tears that wet her cheeks. Smiling that smile she knew was just for her, Kellan said, “Thank you for your love. Without it I would have ceased to exist.”

Leaning forward, he placed a kiss on her forehead, then one on each cheek, then one on each side of her mouth before working his way all the way down her throat. His journey continued to the neckline of her white mating gown. Every inch of her décolletage knew his attention, while his hands slowly worked every tiny pearl button on both sides of her torso. Olive sighed as her dress floated to the floor, leaving her naked but for her white lace panties.

Kellan pulled her to her feet. She could feel his eyes caressing every part of her body from her bright pink toes to the tiny flowers still tucked into her platinum curls. Olive felt her nipples harden and the dampness of her arousal wet the inside of her thigh.

“There has never been nor will there ever be a more perfect woman in all the Universe. I am humbled to be your mate, Olive Ahern, and I will spend every moment of every day showing you how very much I love and appreciate you. You are mine and I am yours, forever and always,” he reverently whispered right before his mouth slammed to hers.

Laying them back on the bed while whispering words of love and devotion into her mind, Kellan kissed and tasted until Olive knew she would never be able to live without his touch. Her dragon was as much a part of her as she was of him. They were one in heart, one in mind, one in body, and one in soul.

The sensual overload was indescribable. His hands on her body, their shared feelings, his voice in her mind, and their hearts beating as one, drove the little dove insane with need. His fingers slid under the lace on her hip and one tug later, she was completely naked and utterly at his mercy.

Olive lifted her hips trying to force his wandering hands where her ache was the most intense, but Kellan only chuckled and moved his hand atop her mound, sliding his thumb back and forth across the tip of her excited clit. Goose bumps raised all over her body. The little dove growled her frustration through gritted teeth, using only his name, “Please...please
mo ghra’
, please love me.”

She could hear the smile in his voice as he answered, “Oh yes, mo chol beag, I will love you now and forever.”

His body moved against hers and the contact only heightened her already soaring arousal. Fighting to open her eyes, she saw him kneeling between her legs. Their eyes met and Olive was held captive, unable to do anything but look into the eyes of the man that owned her, body and soul.

Placing his hands under her bum, he pulled her closer. The head of his cock touched her wet curls as her hips lifted of their own volition, blessedly causing him to slide between her outer lips and bump her clit. Olive struggled to move her hips forward. Tried with all her might to push him farther inside. They gasped in unison at the sensations her movements caused. Staring into one another’s souls, one for all time, they began to move in unison.

His thick, hard erection slid all the way into her wet warm pussy, stopping only when he reached the very bottom. The feeling of utter bliss filled both dragon and dove. The words,
a union blessed by the Universe Herself
, floated through Olive’s mind.

Delighting in the feeling of her womb contracting around his throbbing erection, they paused, savoring the moment. The flood of emotions flowing uninhibited between them heightened the couple’s excitement. Their hearts beat as one.

Kellan’s eyes looked down her body, leaving a scorching trail in their wake. He sighed when he reached where they were joined and spoke with unbelievable admiration, “Look at us
, mo maité’
. Perfectly together...”

At just a glimpse of their joined bodies Olive’s need compounded. She moved with renewed vigor against her mate. The sight of him gliding in and out of her was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen. Kellen immediately responded. He drove in and out of her, rolling his hips every time their hips touched. The head of his erection rubbed against the bundle of nerves at the top of her channel and the base of his erection bumped her swollen nub on every stroke.

Unable to do anything but feel, Olive held tight to the love and devotion she felt for her dragon and reached for his hands. Their fingers intertwined as she screamed her release to the Heavens a split second before Kellan roared his.

Slowly returning to earth, she loved the feel of Kellan moving slowly in and out of her with their hands still clasped. His voice was rough from their lovemaking, causing her to grin as he asked, “Hello
mo chol beag
, have you returned to me?”

She could feel the goofy grin and didn’t attempt to hide it as she purred, “As I always will,
mo chroi’
, as I always will.”

Removing himself from her, Kellan crawled up her body, kissed her soundly and laid on his side facing her. She felt his hand slip under her pillow and rolled to face him. “What are you up to?” Olive teased.

Handing her a small dark blue velvet box in response, Kellan smiled and nodded for her to open it. Holding her breath, Olive carefully lifted the lid to reveal an absolutely spectacular sapphire and diamond ring. The circular cut gem was every bit the size of a dime, with beautiful facets that glistened in the rays of the morning sun and surrounded by glittering diamonds. Infinity signs sat under the setting on both sides of the band with diamonds set in the platinum that would go all the way around her finger.
