to my
soul.
“ You must tell me what’s
wrong, Sierra,” he pleads inside my head.
I know he suffers with my silence, but
he will suffer more when I tell him. “I will, Sarn, I promise. Just
please give me this time.”
“ As you wish.”
We fly for hours. My tears run over
his scales no matter how many I wipe away. At last he takes me to
the tall grass. The sun is down and the moon shines above us. He
shifts and I’m in his arms taking his lips in a desperate kiss. He
tries to pull away, but I refuse. “Love me, dragon. Just love
me.”
I quickly undress. We don’t speak as
his lips travel down my chest. He takes me to the ground and
continues kissing me until his lips taste my sex. I cry out and
writhe with pleasure. His finger enters me and my hips arch against
his mouth. When the tight bundle of nerves between my thighs
finally explodes, I scream into the night.
With my wolf’s eyesight, I can see his
eyes on me when I come down to earth. I twist away, go to my knees,
and lace my fingers with his. “I need you to do something for
me.”
“ Anything,” he
whispers.
“ Take me as a wolf-mate
takes his woman. Do you understand what I’m asking?”
“ I do,” he replies
hesitantly.
I turn around and fall to my hands and
knees so my ass is toward him. He covers me. His hard cock finds
home before I can take another breath. I forget the heartache I’ve
suffered today. My mate is taking me in a way as old as time. It’s
our time. Our energy builds and I recognize it. This unique
chemistry happens each time we mate. I have known what it was; I
just refused to accept it.
Sarn breathes heavily as our bodies
reach for completion. With a final thrust, his cries match mine.
Then I feel it. His teeth find my neck and sink into my flesh as
the mating ritual takes us away. I drown in the energy as my cries
continue. This bond can only be undone by the death of one of us.
He can go to his realm for hundreds of years and the bond will
remain solid. I’m strong enough to handle him leaving me when the
time comes. I will wait and make it through each lonely year. That
is how strong my love truly is.
I’m exhausted when the final waves of
ecstasy disappear and I land heavily in the grass. Sarn pulls me
into his arms and holds me while I cry.
“ It will be all right,
Sierra. You must tell me,” he says while removing strands of wet
hair from my face.
He knows it’s bad. I can hear it in
his voice. I manage to explain everything as he holds me tight and
I break my dragon’s heart.
Chapter Eleven
Sarn
I am forever cursed. It is nothing I
haven’t earned. Sierra doesn’t deserve this, though. We lie in our
bed with her curled tight within my arms. She sleeps after hours of
tears. I’ve remained awake throughout the night. I reached my
decision within minutes of her telling me the truth of our fate. It
is the only course that I can possibly take. Prolonging this
torture will only kill her slowly. I want her to remember the
wonderful times we’ve had. With me back in my realm, the
wolf-mating bond should weaken. Sierra needs to go on with her life
and find happiness with someone who is not cursed.
I’m having trouble leaving the bed
because I know it will wake her. She will never forgive me for this
and I don’t wish to see recrimination in her eyes. When I’ve almost
given up on doing that which I must do, Dmitri appears in the
room.
His eyes reflect sadness. “The witches
sent me and my mate waits at our home to care for Sierra after
you’re gone,” he whispers.
I have no idea how the witches know,
but it matters not. Dmitri being here will make it easier for
Sierra and that’s all that matters. I place a final kiss on her
cheek and begin extricating myself from her hold. I look down when
she stirs. Her eyes go from me to Dmitri as what is happening
becomes clear. “No.” And then louder, “No!” she yells as she grabs
me and refuses to let go.
Dmitri takes her arm and his
soul.
“ You must tell me what’s
wrong, Sierra,” he pleads inside my head.
I know he suffers with my silence, but
he will suffer more when I tell him. “I will, Sarn, I promise. Just
