The Red Diamond Dragon

It Feels Right

Johnathan

I watched her fall asleep almost immediately. I'm sure she must be exhausted and overwhelmed from the day. Slipping from the bed, not wanting to bother her, I went to take a shower. I slid my pants off and stepped into the warm water, my c**k still raging from touching her. She was exquisite, and every sound she made from those plump lips fueled my need for her. I wrapped my hand around my c**k, allowing it to expand to its full size. Being part Dragon, I had unique control over it. I felt it flex and pulse under my grip as I began to stroke up and down, visualizing her every movement and the feel of her under my body. I couldn't wait to taste her, to lick her sweet p***y until she screamed for me. I wanted to hear her beg for me, my mind raced as I pumped my c**k harder until I felt my c**k swell, c*m pulsed from me as visions of Madeline flashed through my mind.

I stood catching my breathe turning the water to cold as I finished my shower, willing my body to stay under control the rest of the day. I didn't want to push her, but it was getting harder and harder to battle my need for her. The ring on her finger somewhat soothed my possessive side for the day, at least. I wrapped a towel around my waist and quietly went to the closet to get dressed. I put on some soft pants, and as I walked out, I saw she had rolled in her sleep, her full naked t**s showing. With a low moan and my c**k hardening, I decided to try to rest with her. I carefully climbed into bed, rolling her into my arms. Her lush, almost naked body, forming to mine, was the sweetest torture. I stayed awake just feeling her body next to mine, holding her, and listening to her soft breathing. She was already my everything, and I knew I would do anything to have her accept our bond. After a while, she softly began to stir in my arms, slowly waking up. I kissed her shoulder softly. "Did you have a good nap, Angel?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. I did not realize I was so tired." She quietly said, turning to look at me with her soft brown eyes.

"Don't apologize. It was a lot today. How are you feeling about dinner tonight?" I was concerned that her being my mate would throw her into a spotlight she was not comfortable with.

"I'm ok with it, plus I think Natalia would actually be insulted if I did not show off the clothes she made for me." She replied in all seriousness.

I chuckled. "I see you have our dear friend figured out. Let's get dressed, we can go just a touch early so the attention won't be on us walking in."

"I like the sound of that." She replied, rolling more towards me.

I saw the moment it dawned on her that she was almost entirely without clothes. I wanted to laugh, but I just softly kissed her. "Your robe is next to the bed, Angel." I rolled out of bed and headed to the closet, not looking back to give her a little privacy. She showered as I started to dress. I linked Mrs. Lamont and asked if she would mind helping Madeline with her hair and make-up. I was honestly not sure what her experience with it all was. The girls had taken her to a brief make-up lesson and bought her the necessities, so I knew she had some make-up, but Mrs.Lamont was excited to come help. It was best to be sure just in case.

After she got out of the shower, I let Madeline know Mrs. Lamont would be by to help do her hair. She smiled gratefully. I went downstairs to allow her time to dress. When Mrs. Lamont arrived, she headed straight upstairs. I opened a safe in one of my bookcases, taking out a green velvet box from today, setting it aside. I pulled out a very old wooden box from beneath it. Opening it, I studied the jewels inside. They were from my Dad's side of the family, and I didn't exactly know how old they were, but they were masterfully crafted. The heavy circlet was gold with diamonds woven through it, and my family crest stamped inside of it, along with a craftsman's mark. The necklace could only be described as a work of art. The heavy gold necklace, similar to the circlet, was woven with gold and diamonds, ending with a large teardrop diamond in the center. Two heavy gold cuffs, one for each wrist, completed the set. I stared for a moment, realizing they would go perfectly with Madeline's dress for tomorrow. My previous mate had said they were beautiful, but they never felt like hers. She never wore them, and I hadn't thought about them in a long time. They did feel right for Madeline, I realized. I smiled, tucking the box back into the safe while keeping the new velvet box out. Just before closing the safe, I reached for my ring, a heavy gold piece with my family crest stamped into it. I slid it onto my middle finger, deciding to wear it for the first time since moving to my pack. Nikolai had one as well and had mentioned a couple of months ago that we should start wearing them to represent the diversity in our pack. I quickly linked him to let him know I would be wearing it to the ball tomorrow. I placed the ring back in the safe and closed it just as Mrs. Lamont walked in, letting me know they were finished.

As I entered the bedroom, I saw Madeline. Her hair was down, curled in soft waves, and her makeup was light, highlighting her natural beauty. It was perfect. The deep purple wrapped top showed off her incredible bust line and smaller waist. I must have been staring too long because she started to look worried. "You look beautiful, Angel." I quickly moved across the room, wrapping her into my arms.

"Thank you," She said quietly, smiling up at me.

"I just need to put my jacket on, and I have something for you." She looked at me curiously as I guided her into the closet again in front of the full-length mirror. I reached my hand around, holding the necklace in the palm of my hand. Her eyes widened as she started to protest. "No arguments, Angel." I said softly as I fastened the necklace for her. The woven gold chain held a single dark green emerald cut into a classic emerald cut. "I asked Fredrick to keep it simple so you could use the stone to design your own necklace." She carefully touched the necklace, turning to me.

"It's beautiful. Thank you." She smiled again at me. It seems spending time with Mrs. Lamont has softened her towards me. I handed her the matching earrings that she put on without a fuss. Then she put on a jacket that hugged her curves. She looked perfect.

"I cannot wait to show you off," I said, wrapping my arms around her. "Most of all, I can't wait to bring you back home tonight."

We arrived early enough it was friends and people she had already met. I was grateful there was time to help her be comfortable as others began arriving. Garrett came over to speak with Liam and was obviously surprised to see Madeline mated, but was sweet in congratulating her. He joked that a friend of theirs would have to find her own books, with Madeline moving to our pack. She seemed sad at the mention of her friend. I would have to ask her about it later.

Tonight was about mingling the packs together. Appetizers and drinks were brought around on trays while people talked and walked around. I kept an arm around Madeline as I introduced her to everyone who spoke to me. She naturally captivated the attention of those around her. I watched as men were mesmerized by her when she spoke; my beast rose up inside of me with its possessive nature. Their interest was clear in how they looked at my beautiful mate. It was getting increasingly harder to have my mate not marked. I pushed the possessive side down as much as possible. concentrating on her smiles and watching as a spark of confidence grew. My world felt whole with her in it. She asked to be excused for the restroom, and I watched her walk away before following behind. It didn't sit well with me to have her out of sight with this many people around. I noticed the terrace door where we had met and stood close to the door waiting for her to pass by me.
