Summer of Frost (Forever Fae #3)(50)



He laughed. “Definitely not. I just don’t want anyone else in your dreams other than me.”

We walked down the path while walls of water closed in beside us. I grazed my hand across the surface and felt the energy soaking into my skin. We kept going further, deeper and deeper, and when I looked back, the water was closing off the path behind us. It was exciting yet terrifying to know we were surrounded by water that could close in on us at any moment, but I knew that it wouldn’t happen. It was our sea, our court … mine and Drake’s.

The end of the path opened up, and Drake and I both froze at the sight before us. The water had enclosed all around us, giving us the privacy from the outside world. Letting go of Drake’s hand, I walked around the underwater room. “This is amazing,” I breathed.

The bed frame was made of white corral and pearls. The blankets on top shimmered with the reflection of the sun through the watery ceiling. I touched the top of the bed and my hand almost sank into its softness. The smells were so exotic and fresh that I couldn’t stop breathing it and soaking it into my skin. It was incredible, and so full of life.

Drake came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. “Will this do?” he asked huskily. He pressed his body firmly against my back and began kissing along my neck. It sent chills through my body and I shivered. “Don’t worry, beautiful. I’ll keep you warm.”

Releasing a shaky breath, I sighed. “I already am.”

I wasn’t exactly dressed for seduction, but it didn’t seem to bother Drake as he removed the bits and pieces of my warrior gear off my body, throwing it all to the floor. I climbed backwards onto the bed while he prowled over the top of me, spearing me with his heated gaze. Slowly, he lifted my shirt, leaving wet kisses up my stomach and over my breasts before he slipped it over my head. I groaned as he bit my nipple playfully before moving down to take off my pants.

Drake watched me like a ravenous animal. His heat-filled gaze never left mine the whole time he slid the pants down my legs. Propping myself on my elbows, I bit my lip and watched in fascination as he slowly removed his clothes, teasing me. The bulge in his pants was straining to be let out, and for the life of me I couldn’t tear my gaze away.

When Drake finally lowered his pants, I groaned. I was wet and ready for the taking. He kissed his way up my leg, starting with my ankle, up to my knees, and along my inner thighs where he nipped my tender spots. Once he reached my stomach, he trailed his tongue all the way up until he reached my breasts while testing my readiness with his fingers. He groaned once he realized how wet I was for him. Licking and sucking on my sensitive nipple, he thrust his fingers inside me while rubbing my swollen nub with the pad of his thumb. The sensation of both had me immediately coming and shouting out my release.

I arched off the bed and gasped, “You’re killing me, Drake.”

He shook his head. “No beautiful, you’re killing me. I almost lost it feeling you clench around my fingers. I like knowing my touch brings you pleasure.”

“It brings more than pleasure,” I revealed, throwing him on his back on the bed, straddling him. “It drives me crazy.”

I was the one starved and hungry as I savagely descended upon his lips, tasting and biting. While rubbing my sensitive breasts along his chest, I moved my core over his straining cock, teasing him.

Drake gripped my hips and growled, “I want to be inside you, now.” His tone implied he was about to lose control, and as much as I wanted to torment him I couldn’t. I needed him too much.

I lifted my hips slowly, only letting the tip of his erection graze my opening, before I gently lowered myself onto his pulsating cock. “Is that better?” I whispered hoarsely.

He held my hips, rocking me gently back and forth, going slowly until my body accommodated to his size. He filled me completely, stretching me, but I needed more. Digging my nails into his shoulders, I slammed down on him as hard as I could. Drake bucked underneath me and took in a sharp breath. “I’m not going to last long with you doing that.”

“You said it yourself earlier. Your need is too great to go slow … well, so is mine.”

To stop him from speaking, I captured his lips and imprisoned his tongue with my own. My body rocked hard against him, and I could feel his cock straining with the first taste of orgasm. I rode him until the tingling in my core exploded all around me, clenching tight around his shaft until he couldn’t hold out any longer. He gripped my hips harder and bit into my shoulder as he came. The pain from his bite was arousing and made the aftermath of my orgasm that much sweeter as tiny tremors racked my body. Slowly, I stopped my hips from moving and collapsed on top of him, satiated and breathing hard.

The mist of water from the wall around us sprinkled us with cold dew. It sizzled across my heated skin, which was now the color and warmth of Drake’s, not the pale and cold skin of the Winter Fae. When I focused on the swirling mist, I realized it wasn’t water sprinkling us, but magic, the magic of our land. Still connected, I sat up slowly and watched the blue swirling magic of my court flow through the room.

Each court was different with its changes. Calista and Ryder got their crowns, Meliantha and Kalen got their glittery skin and tattoos, but I wondered was going to happen to me and Drake. Drake was already a Summer Fae, so I knew whatever was going to happen was going to happen to me. My body looked normal, except for my golden skin that used to be pale. Although, when I glanced down at Drake, I knew it wasn’t so.
