Embrace the Dark

He grinned up at me. “I want to make sure you’re nice and ready for me so there’s no pain. Don’t worry, I read all about this in a book.”

It was such an Erroh thing to say that I laughed, but the sound quickly died in my throat as his mouth pressed to the aching spot between my legs. Pleasure like I’d never experienced before spread through me as his tongue danced along my folds and his fingers slid inside me, and then he did things that had me moaning so loud, I briefly worried the people in the temple might be able to hear us. I didn’t much care though, especially when he sucked on me in a way that caused an o****m to sweep through me like a tornado.

As my body twitched with warm pleasure, he slowly moved up my body, until he hovered over me. His eyes gazed into mine as his c**k brushed against my thigh. “Are you ready?”

“Gods, yes,” I managed, reaching up to wrap my arms around his neck.

“I love you, Sora. I always have.”

“I love you too.”

He captured my lips in a passionate kiss as his hard length slowly pushed inside me. The pressure was intense and I gasped, but then he paused and waited for me to adjust to his size. I had nothing to compare it to, but he felt huge inside me, and I wasn’t sure how he would ever fit. But he took his time until he was all the way inside, filling me completely.

“Sora, this is incredible,” Erroh said, pressing his face against my shoulder. “I dreamed of this moment for so long, and it’s even better than I expected.”

I wasn’t so sure, until he began to slowly slide in and out of me, and then things quickly turned pleasurable again. Soon my body took over, instinctively knowing how to move in time with his body so that we rocked together, taking us to new heights. I dug my nails into his shoulders as he thrust inside me faster, and all I could do was moan and hold on to him as the pleasure built. He slipped one hand between us and began stroking me in time with his movements, and I threw my head back as another c****x took hold of me. He let out a shout as he increased his pace and came at the same time, spilling his seed inside me.

As he did, a huge gust of wind swept around us, then lifted us into the air. Even knowing something about what to expect, it made me gasp and cling harder to Erroh. The air swirled around our entwined bodies and we flew high up among the stars, the cool night breeze kissing our naked skin. Power spread through me like crackling lightning, but Erroh only held me tighter, until we slowly floated back down to the bed.

The wind disappeared as quickly as it started, and Erroh and I gazed into each other’s eyes. “Nothing has ever felt so right as this moment,” he said.

I reached up to play with his dark hair. “We’re mates now, for all time. Bonded together for the rest of our lives.”

“It’s about damn time.” He grinned and lowered his head for another kiss.

We stayed on the bed like that for some time, just kissing and lazily exploring each other’s bodies, before I remembered there was more to this bonding ritual. We reluctantly put our clothes back on, with plans to take them off again soon and return to bed, then made our way to the edge of the platform. Erroh glanced at me and squeezed my hand, with eager eyes and a nervous smile. This was where the Air God had appeared to my parents, and we held our breath while we waited for him to arrive.

And we waited.

And we waited.

And the Air God never came.

e had s*x two more times that night, just in case that was the problem, but the Air God still never appeared to give us his blessing. Eventually we slept, tangled in each other’s arms and legs, with sated smiles on our faces.

As dawn’s bright light woke us, we made love again, just for good measure, but then we grew worried.

“This isn’t normal,” I said. “Not from everything I’ve been told. The Air God should have spoken to us.”

“Can you use air magic?” Erroh asked.

“I don’t know.” I reached out a hand toward the bed, and to my surprise, the sheets began to moved a little. “Yes, I think so!”

“That’s good. The bonding worked then.”

“Can you turn into a dragon?”

“I’m not really sure how, but I can try.” Erroh’s brows furrowed in concentration, but then golden scales began to slide across his skin. His body grew larger, shifting and changing, until he grew wings and a long tail, along with sharp fangs and talons. He let out a roar and stomped his feet, swishing his tail around, and then gave me what I think was a toothy grin. “That was incredible!” I laughed and rested a hand on his golden snout. “I guess the Air God isn’t coming, but he gave us both his blessing anyway. I’ll have to ask Auric what he thinks on our way home.”

“Hopefully the Air God doesn’t regret his choice,” Erroh said, in his rasping dragon voice.

“Of course he doesn’t. If he did, you wouldn’t be a dragon right now. Let me see your wings.” He spread them wide, and I walked around him and stroked the scales. “Very nice. I can’t wait to ride you.”
