Twin Dragons: Dragon Lords of Valdier Book 7 (20 page)

Cree fought to keep his eyes open as
Melina’s hot mouth slid along the length of his cock. He wound his
hands into her hair and held her tightly as he rocked his hips.
Each stroke went deeper. He could feel the light scrape of her
teeth, but it was what she was doing with her tongue that was
driving him insane.

Each time he pulled out, she would wrap her
tongue around the edge of it and tease the slit with the tip. A low
hiss escaped him as she tilted her head, trying to take more of his
shaft. He pushed as far as he could into her mouth without choking
her. The sight of her sucking on him, pulling him deeper and deeper
into her mouth pulled a deep groan from him that echoed through the
room.

His eyes moved down the curve of her back.
Calo was holding her hips and driving into her with strong,
powerful thrusts that pushed her forward onto him. He watched as
the scales rippled across Calo’s chest. His brother was not immune
to the sight of Melina sucking on his cock. The combination of both
the physical and visual claiming shattered his control. Throwing
his head back, he roared in triumph as he came.

*.*.*

Melina felt like she was about to explode.
Between the fire scorching her in waves of hot lava, to the
combined attack on her body, she was like a fragile piece of spun
glass falling through the air. Before Calo surged forward, impaling
her with his thick cock, she thought it impossible for her body to
feel any more pleasure. As he pulled back and forth deep inside her
now, it was as if every inch of him was caressing her. She could
feel the slight catch of his cock as it pressed against the
sensitive tissue of her vaginal wall.

A sense of completeness filled the emptiness
that had been slowly eating away at her since she first met them.
The growing hunger, a feeling that she had never experienced
before, had plagued her making her achy and restless. Her body
acted like it knew exactly what it wanted, what it needed, and
sought to take it without reservation.

“Open for me,” Cree’s deep voice
demanded.

She didn’t completely understand what he
wanted, but she instinctively followed his command. When he touched
her lips with his cock, an explosion of flavor sent her senses
spiraling out of control. A hunger for more had her lips parting
wider.

When she heard his low moan, she knew she
wanted to give him as much pleasure as she was receiving. Swirling
her tongue over the tip, she teased, tormented, and sucked until
she knew every intimate inch of him. She also found the more she
pleasured him, the wetter and hotter she got. Tilting her hips up
even higher, she opened herself up even further for Calo’s
pleasure.

The double assault on her senses and the
rush of heat coursing through her caused her body to tighten to the
point she thought she would catch on fire. Instead, she exploded
around both men. Her throat worked around the cock in her mouth as
she pushed backwards against Calo as wave after delicious wave
burst from her.

Both men’s loud curses filled the air.
Cree’s hand tightened in her hair as he leaned forward enough to
grab her right breast in his other hand. A choked scream escaped
her as the heat crashed over her at the same time as Calo’s thin
hold snapped and he released his pulsing jet of semen deep into her
womb.

“Melina!” Calo hissed as he pushed into her
as far as he could go. His long fingers bit into the tender flesh
of her hips as his body jerked in time with both their releases.
“Goddess, I’m dying of pleasure.”

A sense of triumph filled her when she heard
Cree’s hoarse yell. She knew he was watching as Calo emptied
himself into her. She could feel Calo shattering as he came. Cree’s
eyes drooped, but he refused to close them as he watched her drink
his come. Her delicate throat worked up and down as she sucked on
him.

Something moved deep inside her. It felt
almost as if something had been asleep and was suddenly awakened
from its slumber. Her skin tingled and felt alien, as if she were
somehow being transformed.

I am,
she thought as she embraced
both men.
I am being transformed from a girl to a woman.

A low moan ripped from her throat as Cree
slowly pulled away from her. She opened her mouth to protest, but
the protest died on her lips as her eyes widened in surprise. The
waves of heat that she thought would die after they made love to
her hit her again, this time with an intensity that took her breath
away for several long seconds.

“What is happening?” She finally choked out.
“The heat… It is coming again.”

“This is just the beginning, Melina,” Calo
said in a soft voice. “We have just begun.”

Melina closed her eyes as he pulled from her
body and rolled her over. She opened her eyes and stared up at the
ceiling, noticing that it appeared to be sharper, clearer than she
remembered. Her legs fell apart as Cree moved between them. A small
smile curved her lips as the warmth of their touch surrounded
her.

So this is what nirvana feels like,
she thought as she gave herself over to their masterful touch.

Melina blushed as she ran the soft wash cloth
over her tender breasts. She was still weaving back and forth
between disbelief and a sense of unreality. What happened last
night felt almost like it had been a dream. If it wasn’t for the
fact that her whole body was buzzing, sensitive, and a little sore,
she would have thought that she had dreamed up the entire
thing.

“I hope Harry brings his shotgun,” she
muttered as she rested her head against the tile. “I’m going to
shoot me two aliens.”

“That sounds… painful,” a husky voice said
on the other side of the glass door.

Melina didn’t even bother turning her head.
She didn’t even care that she was naked and he was standing on the
other side of the doors staring at her. After last night, there was
no such thing as modesty.

“I hate you,” she mumbled. “I hate you. I
hate Calo. I hate myself.”

The door opened and the water shut off. She
resisted at first, but finally allowed him to turn her around. She
pressed her lips into a tight line and glared at him when he tilted
her chin up so he could look at her.

“Why?” Cree asked quietly.

“Right now, just because,” she answered
wearily. “What happened last night… it shouldn’t have happened. I
don’t know how it did, but it shouldn’t have.”

Cree’s eyes darkened to a dark, dark gold as
he ran his thumb over her pouting bottom lip. Regret pierced him,
but he pushed it away. He had learned that regret was a wasted
emotion that proved to create an empty shell around a mind.

“It was meant to be. You were meant for us,”
Cree said with a stubborn light in his eyes. “You are a miracle to
us.”

Melina pulled her chin away and reached for
the towel beside them and wrapped it around her. She didn’t feel
like a miracle. She felt, strange and edgy, like there was
something moving inside her trying to get out. She just wanted to
be left alone so she could figure out what happened and come to
terms with her own feelings.

“I’m not ready to be anyone’s miracle right
now,” Melina said with a sigh. “I… I need some time alone.”

A low rumble of disapproval burst from his
dragon before he could stop it. He knew his dragon was impatient to
see his mate, but he didn’t think that Melina was ready to accept
all the changes that had happened last night just yet. He cursed
when she turned and raised her eyebrow at him.

“Melina,” he started to say, but stepped
back when her eyes flashed with fire and she poked her finger into
his chest.

“No,” she bit out in a low voice. “This is
not open for discussion. I said I
need
some time alone. Not
that I want it. I
need
it, damn it. I am not used to being
around others. I like my space. I need my space. Now, get out so I
can get dressed in peace.”

Cree stared in shock as the bathroom door
closed with a resounding thump. He hadn’t even been aware that she
was slowly backing him out the door until she closed the door in
his face. A frown creased his brow, as he tried to understand what
just happened.

Want mate,
his dragon grumbled.

That’s what got us into the mess we’re in
right now,
Cree replied as he stared at the closed door.

*.*.*

“No,” Melina said firmly, picking up her hat
and placing it on her head.

“Melina,” Calo said in exasperation.

Melina turned and glared at him. “I said
‘No’. That means ‘No’.”

“You cannot expect us to just let you go
off,” Cree injected in a fierce voice. “You should not be
alone.”

“I won’t be alone. Harry will be there,”
Melina said, looking at Harry, who was doing his best to look like
the wallpaper on the dining room wall. “I can’t drive. I haven’t
driven a vehicle since I was fifteen. If I could, I’d go
alone.”

“Now, wait just a minute,” Harry protested.
“Cal was like family. I deserve to be there at least.”

Melina closed her eyes and counted to ten
before she opened them again. Tears of frustration glimmered in
them, but didn’t fall. She clenched her jaw and picked up the urn
sitting on the shelf in the dining room.

“Neither one of you can go, Cree. It is too
dangerous,” Melina said in a low voice. “I can’t… It would be safer
for you here. It is going to be difficult enough without having to
worry if someone sees the two of you. Please.” She turned and
looked at Cree and Calo with tortured eyes. “I won’t be gone long.
We’ll have a private service, then go to town so I can pick up a
few things. It will only be a couple of hours at the most.”

“You do not need to go to your town,” Calo
muttered, running his hand over his stomach. “We will be returning
to the
Horizon
when you return.”

Anger brightened Melina’s eyes. She wasn’t
going to be bullied by either man. It was time they realized that
she made her own decisions.

“If you need to return to the
Horizon
, go,” she replied in a quiet, emotionless voice.

“Melina,” Calo protested in a hoarse voice.
“You do not understand.”

“No.
You
don’t understand,” Melina
interrupted in a raw voice. “I can’t do this. I can’t… I need to
deal with this first.”

*.*.*

Both men watched as anguish washed across
her pale face, breaking the mask that she tried to hide behind.
Melina turned on her heel and hurried out of the house. Cree and
Calo both started to follow her, but stopped when Harry stepped in
front of them.

“Let her go,” Harry said, raising his hand
when both men issued a low, threatening growl. “For now. You boys
don’t know how close she and Cal were. There was a special bond
between those two. I’ll watch over her. I love that little girl,
too. I’ve been there for her since the day she was born. Hell, I
was there when her dad was born. Just, give her a little space.
She’s always been a bit of a loner.”

Calo placed his hand on Cree’s chest when
his brother started to step around Harry. He knew the old man was
right, but he didn’t like it. Both he and Cree were still feeling
raw from last night. Neither of them was prepared for the tidal
wave of emotion or the connection that existed after their claiming
of Melina.

“Protect her,” Calo said in a guttural
voice. “Bring her back to us. And Harry…”

Calo waited for Harry to understand what he
was about to say to him. He wanted there to be no doubt in the
man’s mind as to their intention. Melina was their true mate and
they would not let her go.

“Yes,” Harry said.

“Let her know that she better come back,”
Calo warned.

“Or we will come after her,” Cree vowed.

Harry nodded and hurried out of the house.
He didn’t stop until he climbed in his old truck. He turned the key
in the ignition, noting that his hands were shaking.

“Are you okay?” Melina asked quietly from
where she was already sitting buckled up in the passenger seat.

Harry stared out the windshield of the truck
before he glanced over at the house. He shook his head and muttered
a curse under his breath. What he had seen had damn near scared the
shit out of him.

“Was I hallucinating or did those two have
scales rippling over their skin?” He asked hoarsely.

Melina lowered her head and bit her lip
before she glanced at Harry, who was staring at her. The worried
look creased the lines around his mouth and eyes. She looked at the
house once more before she shook her head.

“They’re dragon shifters,” she informed him
in a voice that was barely audible. “I saw two of them when I was
on the asteroid. I… I’ve never seen Cree and Calo shift, but they
are known as the Twin Dragons.”

“Shit, I hate it when I’m right,” Harry
muttered. “They told me to bring you back.”

“Or what? They’ll come after me?” Melina
growled in impatience as Harry put the truck in gear.

“You said it, Mel, not me,” Harry replied,
turning onto the main road. “And honey, they meant it.”

“We shouldn’t have let her go,” Calo admitted
as the dust settled back down on the drive. “We should have tied
her up, taken her back to the
Horizon
and fucked her until
she couldn’t resist us.”

“Who said we would let her go without us?”
Cree said, striding toward the front door where he turned and
looked at his brother with a raised eyebrow. “Are we the not the
best warriors among the Valdier? The unseen dragons that attack
without our enemies ever seeing us?”

“She is not our enemy,” Calo said with a
huge grin.

“No, she is our true mate,” Cree replied
opening the door.

Their symbiots had already transformed into
identical sleek fighters. If anyone had been watching, they would
have sworn they were seeing things. The moment the men slid inside
the golden vessels, the ships shimmered and disappeared.
