brought her legs
around his waist. He brought her down onto his cock and filled her up. Raven
was pressed against the wall as he thrust deep, again and again. He kissed her
as she wrapped her arms around his neck. It was like sharing a breath and she
became a part of him. It built inside her, the feeling of primal lust that made
her body shake and her flesh quiver around his thick rod. Raul pushed her past
the point of reason until she screamed his name as she came. “Again,” he said
harshly. He drove into her with wild abandon and she accepted every inch of him
into her soaking wet pussy. She arched into him, writhing even though she was
pressed against the wall. This time, when Raven came, Raul followed her with a
guttural yell that declared his possession. He walked her over to the bed and
placed her on it and she was so completely sated that she didn’t even open her
eyes when she felt him cleaning her with a warm washcloth.
“Lay
with me, Raul,” she murmured sleepily as he tucked her under the blankets.
He
pulled her into his arms and kissed her gently. “I’m here, sweet one.”
It
could’ve been the tension that fueled the hot sexual relief, but she was so
tired she could hardly keep her eyes open.
“They
all love you, Raul, and I love you too,” Raven said sleepily. “Don’t go there
alone, please. I can’t bear the thought of losing you.”
“You
won’t lose me. Hawke was right. You never know when love will find you, and
when it does you are unable to resist,” Raul murmured. “I love you, my Shaloh . Now sleep.
Tomorrow is another day.”
Raven
let sleep claim her and even then, as she struggled through her dreams where
she and Raul battled the Shen , instinctively, she
knew he was gone. He’d tucked the blankets around her tight, so she wouldn’t
know, but she felt the cool breeze as he opened the window and snuck out. She
sat up with a small cry and scrambled out of bed to find clothes. Her dragon
was gone and there was no way in hell she was going let him fight this battle
alone.
Chapter
Nine
The
rain meant nothing to Raul or the lightning that cut a jagged swatch across the
tumultuous sky. He had only one thing on his mind and that was to infiltrate
the Shen stronghold and find his father or the man he
thought was his father. His life had taken one big flip and turned everything
he knew upside down. The only constant in his life was Raven—her fiery
spirit and intelligent mind. When he told her he loved her he meant it, but first
he would take care of the Shen who held his father.
Then he would follow his heart directly to Raven and ask for the king’s consent
to be her mate.
Disobeying
Hawke would, of course, come with consequences, maybe even cause him to lose
his position as one of the twelve warriors. He knew all of this, but his
resolve was set. Tonight this needed to end once and for all. His life had been
a revolving door of relationships that meant nothing to him because he hid his
heart where no one could find it, locked it up, and threw away the key. But
Raven came along and she found where he had hidden his heart, then broke down walls to get to it without the key. Raul
found that he didn’t want to run anymore or fight off the feelings he felt.
Raven was his mate.
The
area where he’d noticed the activity was right below him. Raul flew high enough
that he would not be detected and used his dragon sight to access the comings
and goings of this new cell. The king wasn’t there; it had too small of an
entrance and not enough space in those old mines for the big motherfucker. That
beast would have no room to turn in there and would crumble the
hallow mine around his ears. They were up to something. That was for
sure. Probably holding women for breeding along with his father. Raul swooped
past the area to land on the other side of the clearing. There, he changed into
his civilian clothes he carried in a small pack. Raul moved stealthily toward
the mine, using
