Mated to the Earth Dragon (Elemental Mates 2)

“Until the end of time, I am yours,” she repeated, joy filling her with liquid heat. It was so strong it felt like her heart couldn’t possibly contain all the love inside her.

The mate bond pulsed with golden warmth between them as Damon opened the small box and drew out a necklace.

It was a polished, round stone of amber, encasing a tiny, perfectly preserved flower. In the light of the sun, the stone sparkled like the light of the sun itself had been trapped in it.

Gently, he fastened the chain around Autumn’s neck. The amber came to rest against her skin. It felt strangely warm and seemed to pulse with the same rhythm as the mate bond.

“My mate,” Damon said huskily. “And now also the lady of the earth.”

Autumn drew in a surprised breath as she felt a tickle of energy rushing through her, gathering at her fingertips.

There was a flower arrangement in front of them that had somehow drawn her attention. When she focused on it, she could dimly see another sort of energy that pulsed through it.

The energy of the earth. My element. Our element, Damon’s voice whispered through the mate bond.

Slowly, Autumn raised her hand. The amber at her throat grew even warmer—and then the energy tickling in her fingers pulsed out from her.

Instead of the gorgeous flower arrangement, a strange bush blossoming with at least twenty different flowers had suddenly appeared.

No, Autumn realized a heartbeat later. It was still the same flower arrangement. Only, with the power of the earth moving through it, she’d made the flowers grow roots. New shoots had blossomed into new flowers, and fragrant clusters of red, white and yellow came bursting out of the ground.

Amazed, she raised her hand to look at her fingers. Then she turned to Damon, laughing as the cheering around them intensified.

“I guess we’ll never have to worry about flowers for our table again,” she said, and then she was drawn into his arms.

Damon’s mouth was warm on hers, his strong arms hugging her tightly as he kissed her. Autumn gladly surrendered to it.

His love was streaming into her—and in turn, her own love was flowing towards him through the mate bond. Dimly, she could hear what had to be the song only his dragon could hear: the song of earth and stone and flowers.

Her earth dragon had come home, and the earth was rejoicing. And so was Autumn, because she’d finally come home as well. Home to him—and home to a love as generous as the earth, and as invincible as metal.

My mate, she whispered into the bond, more flowers sprouting at her feet.

Until the end of time, Damon said, the warm glow of the bond increasing until all she could see was Damon. Forever.
