Dragoned in Half

Replenished-Maximus

I look at the dragon man sprawled out on the ground and all I can do is scratch my head. I knew that I would eventually get myself into a sticky situation by dealing with him and yet I didn’t think that it would be this bad. I just couldn’t stand the fact that their was a dragon out there so similar to me when I knew that I could do something about it. As I stand here now, it has me rethinking the whole situation.

“He will be just fine” Equus says as he bathes in the sun at the edge of the river. I roll my eyes at him. Dealing with the kelpies is always weird but sometimes it can come in handy. Their power is so unique that many choose to stay away. I mean who wants to die each time they need to receive answers to difficult questions. I know they do more than that but that’s pretty much how I take it.

“Really? Have you taken a look at him. The man is curled into a ball on the floor and tears are leaking out of his eyes. His yellow dragon eyes are all that we can see and they look vacant” I shout. This entire situation really is just starting to irritate me. It better work or I don’t know what to do next. We need him on our side.

“Is everything okay Maxi” Emily says in my head. “I can feel your emotions right now” she states.

“I’m all good love. Just having a tough conversation right now with the kelpies” I rush to say.

“I’m always here if you need to talk. You don’t have to hold so much in” She says with a huff. I already know the ulterior motive of her comment. I sigh as I reply next.

“I know love. I’ll try. We can talk later okay” I state as I end the connection. I know that the ending was abrupt and that she would have more to say but I can’t speak right now.

We should not lie to mate. We should just tell her how we feel. She will understand.

As my eye clear from the fog I cant even react to the fist that comes to my face. “f**k” I curse as I am forced to take a few steps back. When I look up its to see a pissed looking Morbius as his entire body swells with his angry breathing. “I’m glad to see that you are feeling better, sleeping beauty” I say as I fold my arms. The left side of my face stings a bit from the hit but it’s not like I haven’t taken many of them in the past.

“You had no right to interfere. The next time you go back on a deal we make; it will end with something worse than just my knuckles on your face” He warns as he cracks his knuckles.

“Damn, you sure do make the sweetest promises” I tell him deadpanned. As per usual, he and I both end up in a staring competition. I seriously don’t have time for this. I have been having a problem with my mate and that is taking priority now that I have let Mr. Daisy pants see the light of day.

“The Fish boy said that this was the place to bring you. You have information that we need to get a few of our own back and we have something that you want” I tell him as the other men watch. They have been silently watching our exchange this whole time.

“You don’t have a damn thing that I want pretty boy. That’s a fact. What did you think bringing me here would solve?” he ask with a quirk of his brow. He has taken one of his knives out of his sheath to play with. From his stance I know its not something he is going to use right now. He may not be making eye contact right now but I know that he is seeing everything that goes with this situation.

“You need our help to get your mate out of that place. There is no way that you will be able to do it without our help. We need the locations of the facilities so that those odd few humans can stop using us for their experiments. The situation seems like a win-win to me” I remind him.

“I don’t need your help getting my mate out. Me and her other mate can do that just fine on our own. I will just need your word and that of your alpha that they will be safe here” He states as he looks me dead in the eyes.

“My alpha will welcome all three of you. He will also welcome any of those that we save from the places” I state. I watch as his eyes flicker when I lump him into the bunch. I can tell by the way he phrased things earlier that he wouldn’t be staying. I would admire his noble choice if I didn’t think that the idea was dumb.

“Clan life isn’t for someone like me. Just make sure my mate and brother are safe when this is over and we will be good” he repeats as he holds my gaze. I don’t want to agree to this but I know that he needs to hear it. So I just nod my head in acknowledgement. Reaching out my hand I shake his in agreement and then we fade away. I send us back to the field by his vehicle and we immediately part.

He makes his way over to his car in a rush. I scratch my head as I ponder the situation. For some odd reason, I feel like this is going to be the last time that I see the man. The way this went just doesn’t sit right with me. I still don’t even know if anything has changed.

“The main facility is in Idaho. You would follow the snake river until it meets the rocky mountains. The water will drip off the mountains near the base. You will find the entrance there. The door is padded and only unlocks with a sequence of numbers. One-three-seven-two-nine-five-eight-four-one. Six guards will line the entrance with weapons that can kill a dragon. There will be twelve other guards spaced throughout the facility. Its two floors. The top level is the labs but the prisoners are on the bottom floor. One exit and one entry. Don’t let the door close or the facility will lock itself down and you will all be caught” he states and then he climbs into his car.

I blink wondering why he is offering us all this information now. He rolls the window down and I wait for more information. He leans back into the car chair as he looks at me. I’ve only met the man a few times but I have never seen him look this way. From the hardcore man that I know to a man that sighs.

“We both know how this ends. You showed me a sign of good faith when you took me to the kelpies. My dragon has convinced me that you meant no harm. As a sign of faith to me, evacuate this facility and I will trust you with my mate. I will wait for more news” He says nothing else as he rolls up the window. I’m left staring at the back of his bumper as he disappears into the trees. Well, that went better than I thought. I just got way more information than was needed. I can put a team together in less than forty eight hours to get this done. I would just need to tell Xander first.

You do know that being with our mate again would make dealing with Xander seem like child’s play. He isn’t going to be too happy with us for doing this behind his back.

“I had to see if I would be able to trust the guy. We didn’t even know if the plan would work. And while you are sitting there putting the blame on me, you came up with this whole plan because you missed his food” I goad him as I shake my head.

No one should be able to mess up ribs and chocolate cake. We haven’t had anything good to eat since he was taken. I mean look at me, I have started to waste away.

I laugh as he throws him self to the ground in my head. it seems that he has gotten only more dramatic since our little one has been born. Three months has gone by so fast. I sigh as I realize the conversation that I am about to have with my mate. I just really hope that she isn’t going to throw anything this time. I still don’t know where I went wrong last time.

She made herself into a present and you told her she looked tired. Every man on the planet knows where you went wrong with that one.

“But she did look tired. She hadn’t been getting much sleep because of Harmony at the time. Hell, we weren’t getting a lot of sleep either” I remind him.

You are an i***t. Try this on for a size. Your mate was exhausted from dealing with the life that we created together but she wanted you. She took the little time that she had between the baby and chose to spend it bonding with you. She could have chosen to go right to sleep and yet she dressed in a garment meant only for you.

As my dragons words ring in my mind, I hang my head as I finally get it. I disappear as fast as I can and pop right into the living room of our home. My mate has become so entuned with me that she doesn’t even flinch at my arrival. She would have felt me getting closer to her. I see that Harmony is asleep in her arms. I smile down at our little angel and hold out my hands. Emily places our daughter in my arms and I cradle her tiny form. I will never get used to holding something so precious. I walk from the living room to the nursery so that I can lay her down. I leave her tiny snoring form with a gentle kiss on her cheek as I return to my mate.

I find her in the kitchen as she washes the dishes. I bring my arms around her waste and cradle her smaller form to me. After carrying our child its seems like she fits even more in my arms. She leans against me for a brief moment with a heavy sigh. However when she starts to pull aways from me, my heart breaks a little.

“I’m so sorry Em” I whisper. I kiss the nape of her hair as I inhale her scent. I swear its been getting stronger the last few days. Its actually been quite addicting.

“Pray tell may I ask that you are sorry for this time Maximus” I gulp as she says my first name fully. If I end up saying the wrong thing now then I know I just might end up getting the silent treatment later. I’m only just realizing the mistake that I made. I don’t even know where to start with this.

“I messed up Em. I just didn’t want to add more pressure to you because of Harmony. You were already so tired between her and the book. I didn’t mean to make you feel that way” I tell her as she turns in my arms. She bites her lower lip as she looks at me and I have to sigh. Things have been so hectic lately that I haven’t been able to give my mate much attention. With the way that she smells right now, I must admit that I am having some trouble concentrating.

“You have been distant for months. I thought that this is the life that we wanted. We talked about it and discussed how things would go. If you are regretting it then I need you to…..” I kiss the statement away from her lips immediately to stop it.

“There is nowhere on this earth that I would rather be than here with our family” I remind her as I make her look at me. When I see the tears brimming in her eyes, my heart breaks. I really messed this one up.

We need to fix this. I hate it when mate cries. She should never cry.

“We haven’t touched each other since she got here. You flash in and out through out the day without much conversation. At night when we go to bed all you do is hold me while you sleep. It just doesn’t feel like you want me anymore” she says sadly as she hides her face from me again. I have to cup her face as I make her look at me.

My own eyes fill with tears when I see that she has also been holding this in. I didn’t realize how long we have gone without it. I’ve just been enjoying our adjustment to life with our sweet little girl. “Oh baby, I never meant to make you feel that way. I was just so afraid of causing you more pain. Martell and I hated seeing you that way and there being nothing that we could do” I rush to explain as I hold her closer.

“I told you that it was natural. I thought that I explained it to you enough for you to understand. I’m sorry if the reality wasn’t what you thought but I would go through again a thousand times if a little human as precious as our daughter is the reward” she says as she grabs hold of my face.

The conviction in her voice is apparently what I needed to hear. The passion I have for my mate comes rushing out in a smooth torrent as I make her clothes disappear in a flash. As Martell growls at the first taste of her that we have had in way to long I feel as she uses her strength to remove mine in the same fashion. No foreplay is needed as the scent of her lies bare before me. I lift her onto the counter as I drive my c**k to the hilt of her. Her arms come up to brace around my neck as she tightens her little thighs around my hips.

The moan that she releases urges me on as I feel the tightness of her wet walls as they grip me inside of her. The feeling of being inside her is such a euphoric feeling that I have to take a pause for a moment. It has been way too long since I have felt my mate. Her nose nuzzles into my chest as she breaths against me and her hands start to swim around the skin of my upper back.

I drag my c**k out of her slowly until I leave just the tip of in. I wait until she makes eye contact with me before driving into her again. Her eyes roll into the back of her head as she digs her nails into my shoulders. I hiss at the feeling of pain as the tiniest scent of my blood fills the air. I move my hands down her waist and cup her voluptuous a*s in my hands. I lift her from the counter as I start a steady rhythm as I growl in her ear. I feel as Martell comes forward. As I watch, her irises go black and her dragon Remy smiles brightly.

“Come on lover. We both know that you can go harder than that” she says as she taunts Maximus.

“You still don’t know what I’m capable of love. How’s about we play a game?” he ask as we pause our strokes inside of her.

Emily moans in frustration as her head falls back on her shoulders. We she comes forward once more she nods as she bites her lips. Deciding that they can also have their fun since they have been deprived, we both release control to our beast. Martell pulls out of her fast as she gasp from his brief exit. I watch with rapt attention as she is quickly turned over and her a*s pulled toward her. Her derriere looks so delectable in this position that I cant help but to give her a*s a hard smack and watch the hit reverberate across.

The tell tale sign of my hand print causes me to groan in satisfaction as she likes the slight bit of pain. We push our way back inside of her just as fast and brace ourselves as we lean close to speak into her ear. I grip the side of her face and turn it in my direction so that she can see my eyes.

“We are going to call this little game, tap out. If you come before I do, you lose. All you have to do is lay there and take everything I give you mate” he growls into her ear as she preens.

My back straightens as I kick her legs further apart. I want her completely open to me as I take her this way. I already know that this is the position when I am deepest, so this game will be fully to my advantage. As I brace my hands on her hips she shakes her a*s at me as she throws a heated look over her shoulder. I slap her hard on her a*s cheek to let her know that she will pay for that move in just a moment. I slip the tip of my c**k into her smooth channel and she immediately clenches around it.

I smile at her cockily. I love seeing how much she wants me. Its such a turn on to me that I have to take a deep breath as I slide in slowly to the hilt. I don’t want to hurt her in this position but I do want her to feel every last inch of me. By the time I have taken the slow drag all the way to the very heart of her she is already panting beneath me. I don’t even give her time to think as I set a grueling pace of taking myself all the way out and shoving all the way back in.

Her head flattens against the counter as she groans and moans in tandem with my rough thrust. The sounds that she is making and the way that she is starting to meet me halfway with each thrust, lets me know that she is close. I can even feel the tell tale sign of my balls tightening. Knowing I need an edge I lean over her back as I press her more into the counter. Using my right hand, I reach around and place the tips of my fingers against her c**t. I slow down my thrust as I rub her in a tight, slow circle.

Her voice squeaks as she curses and she tightens even further on my c**k. “That’s right baby. Be a good girl and come for me” I tell her with a smile as she starts to shake her head. Her legs shake almost in the same rhythm as she prepares for her o****m. I really cant wait to fill her up. Knowing that both of us have both reached our peak, I start to move my hips in that long quick movement that she likes. She moves as she catches her breath when my fingers follow the same quick pace as my thrust.

I smile in triumph knowing that I have her when all of a sudden she surprises me. Just as she screams as she starts to spasm on my c**k, the feisty wench cups my balls tightly in her hands just as my seed starts to spill inside her. I roar her name loudly as come so hard that I see stars. I almost have to catch myself from going over when my vision finally clears to see the cheeky woman smiling back at me. Her dragon has gone, just as Martell has done. Leaning forward as we both fight for breath; I place a gentle kiss to her lips as I slowly slide out of her.

I use the strength that I have left to swoop her up from the counter and carry her to the bath. As I carry her through the halls of our home, I cant help but to smile into the eyes of my mate. She truly is the best blessing that a man can ask for. We wash each other gently but briefly as we shower. Just as we step out, I hear the piercing cry of our daughter as she wakes from her evening nap. I look over to see my mate as her eyes start to droop.

“Go get a little bit of rest love. I can handle dinner and the baby for a bit” I say as I kiss her on the forehead.

“Uh huh. We can do that Maximus” she says with a yawn. “But Remy and I want to tell you something” she states as she twiddles her fingers. I watch in fascination as my mate goes shy in front of me. “If you think that just because we need a nap, we are taping out, you are dead wrong. When we wake up, its our turn” She says with a whole lot of bravery as she licks her lips. A rumbling growl of appreciation leaves my lips as I race to get our daughter. I smile as rock her to calm her. After dinner time just cant come fast enough. Its always a shock when my mate has something in store.
