It took me a second to get over that kiss before I could move a muscle. I eventually snapped out of it and climbed up to grab his hand. He yanked me up, putting me right in front of him.
That was when I felt it. All of it. Right up against my back.
“Pyre, let’s head back to the caverns.” He grabbed on to the horn with one hand and circled his arm around my waist.
Pyre obeyed—and leaped into the sky.
We landed outside the cavern.
“You need to get to work on Storm’s wings.” Huntley didn’t address what just happened, that the outcasts would have claimed his life if Pyre and I hadn’t interceded. He was all business.
“I will in the morning—”
“We don’t have the time. The whole island saw that spectacle, and it’s only a matter of time before they come to investigate. If they know there’s a dragon that can fly, they’re going to do everything they can to use him to get off this land.”
“I can’t see—”
“I’ll make a fire for you.” With that, he marched off into the jungle to retrieve firewood.
I turned to Pyre. “He’s grateful—even if he doesn’t say it.”
You’re the one he should be grateful for. I never would have come if you didn’t ask.
“And I really appreciate that you did.” I circled my arms around his foreleg and gave it a squeeze. “Thank you.”
He rubbed his closed mouth against my head. You’re welcome.
Storm stepped out of the cave a moment later, his eyes cold like Huntley’s.
“Looks like I’m going to work on your wings tonight.”
Don’t tell him that we speak.
I wanted to ask Pyre why, but I realized I couldn’t without revealing the secret he’d asked me to keep. “Once your wings are repaired, we’ll need to leave the island. Those outcasts will come for all of us.”
Huntley returned with a bundle of firewood he’d just chopped down, and he made a pile before he stepped back and made a gesture to Pyre.
Pyre inhaled a deep breath and then exhaled the fire.
The wood caught instantly, the flames leaping high into the air.
“No reason to hide anymore.” Huntley dusted off his hands. “Baby, get to work.”
After a couple hours, I couldn’t go on any longer. “I’m too tired. I need to sleep.”
Storm examined his one working wing and flapped it a couple times.
“I’ll try to finish it tomorrow.”
Storm positioned his body to show it to Pyre.
Pyre didn’t change his expression, but there seemed to be a smile in his eyes. There must be a whole conversation going on between them, words that Huntley and I couldn’t hear. Both dragons walked deep into the cave until they were swallowed up in the darkness.
Huntley already had our gear inside the cave. “We’ll sleep here from now on.”
“That’s a good idea.” I’d feel a lot safer with two ferocious dragons just a few feet away.
“Come on.” He stepped away from the entrance and moved around the perimeter. The fire he created burned low now, nearly snuffed out completely.
“Where are we going?”
He continued to walk, moving farther around the edge of the rock so the cavern was no longer in view.
“Huntley?”
He suddenly grabbed me and pinned me against the rock. His hands were instantly under my shirt, his palms on my tits, and he gave me that same crushing embrace that bruised my lips.
The air was sucked from my lungs, and my fingertips and toes turned numb. It was like kissing fire, white-hot fire. My mouth opened further to him, and I moaned when I felt his thumbs flick over my hard nipples. I moved farther back into the wall as he smothered me, devoured me like an animal.
I felt like a feast for the taking.
He squeezed my tits the way he squeezed my ass—hard.
It made me moan and wince at the same time. He never handled me gently or like I was the princess he teased me about being. He always treated me like a woman who could handle this manliness.
All the fatigue evaporated when he took me like this, when he revitalized my entire body with those kisses and touches.
His hands dropped down to my breeches and yanked the drawstring until it came loose. He lifted one leg then the other, yanking off my boots until he started to tug the snug material over my hips and ass. He did all this as he kissed me, getting me naked from the waist down.
My hands did the same to his bottoms, getting them loose and tugging them down so his cock could come free.
With his breeches at his knees, he lifted me up into the air then lowered me right onto his length. It was a slow entrance, his hands gripping my cheeks as I sank onto his length. He was bigger than he’d ever been, so it was a good stretch.
