His mate was going to kill him.
Suddenly a slick finger was circling his hole and pressing for entrance. Gunter sucked in a harsh breath, his eyes flying open. Had he fucking blacked out? When had Nikki even opened the jar? Didn’t matter. Nikki pushed in, causing a painful burn. Gunter slowly released the breath and willed his body to relax.
“Stop?” Nikki asked even though they’d already frozen.
“Slow.” He huffed out a ragged laugh. “It has been a very, very long time.”
Nikki slipped their finger out and then pressed again, this time with significantly more lube. The burn was still there, but it had diminished. He didn’t want to scare Nikki from this, but before he could figure out what to say, all thoughts were scattered to the wind and a loud groan ripped from his throat. A long, wet tongue slid up the length of his dick while Nikki continued to stretch his hole. Pleasure spiderwebbed throughout his body.
When Gunter could suck in a breath, he looked down to find Nikki watching him with a particularly wicked Cheshire Cat grin. “You definitely liked that,” Nikki declared.
Gunter said something. Or made a noise as he dropped his head back to the pillows. His brain had stopped working. It was barely running his heart and lungs at this point and with good reason. All the blood in his body was now pooled in his hard, leaking cock.
Over the next several days—okay, so it was really only minutes, but Gunter was no longer thinking clearly—Nikki licked and sucked his dick like their one goal in life was to reduce his brain to pudding.
“Nikki!” Gunter pleaded when he could take no more. His entire body buzzed with the need to come. Muscles were pulled taut and sweat slicked his skin from head to toe. “I need you. Please, Liebling.”
“Thank god!” There were some quick movements Gunter couldn’t quite see, and then Nikki was edging closer, the head of their dick finally brushing against his ass. They pushed in and Gunter could only moan with joy, the sound echoed by Nikki.
Finally. Finally, he had his mate inside of him. There was some burn, but it only added to the exquisite pleasure streaking through him. He wrapped his fist around the base of his cock to stave off his rising orgasm.
Nikki groaned, their head falling back. Trembling fingers bit into his hips. “Gunter. Oh, Gunter. You’re…fuck…so tight.” Sweat slicked their brow and their eyes were so bright, like shining gems of amethyst. Everything about the mage’s posture screamed they were right on the edge, and yet they were still proceeding so slowly, trying to not hurt him.
“More, Nikki! I want all of you.”
Nikki pressed completely forward, and they both cried out in pleasure.
“Gunter!”
“Hard, Liebling. Fuck me hard. Make me yours!” Gunter stroked himself as Nikki started to thrust. For a moment, there was only the pounding of his heart in his ears, their matching ragged breaths, and the steady slap of sweaty skin.
He was full at last, both in body and in his heart. Ecstasy screamed through his veins and burned away nerve endings. He wanted this to last, wanted Nikki to never stop.
“I love you,” Nikki panted against his neck. “Fuck, how much I love you. And you’re mine. Mine, mine, and don’t ever doubt that again.”
Gunter’s dragon soared. It was precisely what Gunter needed to hear in that moment, and it tipped him emotionally over the edge.
He shouted again, muscles clamping down hard on Nikki’s cock as he shot thick ribbons of cum across his stomach. For a moment, the world turned into white sparkles, and the crackle of an electric charge filled the air. As it passed, he heard Nikki shout and felt the warm flood of their own spend into Gunter’s body. Marked. Owned. Claimed at last. Forever.
With a fractured whimper, Nikki collapsed on top of him. Gunter smiled a crooked smile because he couldn’t get his muscles to work quite right. Had he suffered a stroke from that orgasm? It would serve him right.
At least his arms functioned because he was able to pull the mage up his body until their head was resting on his shoulder. They were both a sweaty, cum-streaked mess, but Gunter couldn’t recall ever feeling happier in all his life. His Nikki was in his arms, in their bed, exactly where they belonged.
“You…that…wow…” Nikki panted.
Gunter tried to laugh, but it came out soundless while his body shook. Apparently, he wasn’t much better off than Nikki, and he was supposed to be the one with more experience. Except all that experience went out the window when a dragon found his mate. Everything was bigger, better, more with a mate.
“I think…I think that was excellent practice for our honeymoon,” Gunter declared.
Nikki lifted their head and grinned. “Not bad for such an old dragon.”
