and just slightly within.
 Nico?
 Ssh, love. It s all right. Tell me if you don t want this but at least give
me a chance to prepare you a bit and try. I think you ll enjoy it.
Nico pressed close, his muscular thigh preventing the dildo from sliding out
of her pussy. Every now and then he pulsed his leg so the shaft pushed in and
then out again as he moved back, fucking her gently, reminding her of its
presence. Riki looked sideways, noting the little tub of ointment Nico had
open on the table. It was one more of the many things in the decadent tent she
either hadn t noticed or understood until now.
The ointment smelled of herbs and she could feel it sliding, with Nico s
finger, in and out of her ass, evoking some incredible feelings. Her inner
muscles clenched on the glass rod still impaling her as Nico added a second,
then a third finger to her ass, stretching her.
Riki moaned when he removed his fingers and moved his cock to her back
entrance.
 Push out a little, love. Let me in.
 Nico! She whimpered, not in protest, but in excitement as he pushed in.
Riki was glad of the pillows he d stacked beneath her as her arms trembled and
gave out. Nico was fully inside her now, moving slowly, as if
checking the fit.
 All right?
Riki sobbed as he began to move gently in and out.  Give it to me harder,
Nico. Faster! she begged.
Nico did move then, giving her what she wanted. He plunged in and out, gentle
at first, then harder and longer as she begged him with every motion of her
writhing body, every cry from her lips. She was so close, all it took was a
few hard plunges into her surprisingly sensitive body and she came, crying out
his name in a strangled voice.
Riki heard her name on his lips a moment later as he joined her in pleasure.

The next morning dawned bright and clear. Estella and Drake were gone from the
tent when Riki woke, but Nico was there with breakfast and a brilliant smile.
They ate together, made love, and then he took her outside the encampment to a
small clearing where they could be alone and enjoy the crisp morning.
 I m glad to see I wasn t too rough on you last night. Or this morning. Nico
leaned in to kiss her softly.  How do you feel?
Riki smiled up at him.  I feel like I could do anything!
 Anything? Nico challenged her.
She nodded, willing to see what he might suggest.
 How about flying?
Riki knew he didn t mean flying as a passenger on his back. He was challenging
her to shift. The thought drove fear into her heart, but desire was there
too desire to spread her own wings and take to the sky. It was a fire in her
veins as the sleeping dragon within her awakened to her new mate s challenge.
Riki held his gaze as she screwed up her courage and sought the dragon within
as never before, willing it to come forward. She actually felt the
dragon blink awake, regarding her from within her own soul with startlement
for a moment before answering the call. Riki moved aside, letting the dragon

form in her mind and in the physical world. She felt the dragon s fire envelop
her body as a swirling black mist rose before her eyes.
It was happening!
From one eyeblink to the next, the way she viewed the world changed.
Nico now stood below her, refracted in her vision by newly faceted eyes.
Her head felt odd, moving sluggishly until she realized her neck was now
several feet long. She was a dragon!
I did it!
She crowed as Nico shifted before her new eyes. Within moments, he faced her
as a dragon, walking right up to her and twining her neck with his own in
happiness.
I knew almost from the first, you were meant for me, Riki. After this, you can
have no doubt. You are truly my mate in every possible way.
Chapter Thirteen Far away in the capital of Draconia, Riki s lost family was
sitting down to breakfast in the castle.  The Jinn have taken over the town.
It s like a festival down there. You should go see. Prince Collin entered the
family dining room as his eldest brother, Roland, rose and went to the long
window overlooking the town. His new queen, Lana, sat at the table.  When did
this happen? Roland asked as he surveyed the town of Castleton, far below.
The castle was built into the side of a mountain standing far above the town,
sheltering it in its shadow and warmth.
 Overnight, it seems.
A herald came to the door and drew inside, seeking the king s attention.
 Your Majesty, an ambassador from the Jinn has arrived and seeks an immediate
audience.
It was unusual, but not unheard of, to entertain ambassadors at breakfast.
Roland looked around the
room. It was just family here. They all knew of the troubles facing their land
and were united in helping him protect the people and dragons of
Draconia.
 Show him in.
The herald coughed politely.  It is a woman, Your Majesty. Magda of the
Black Dragon Clan is the name she gave.
Now this was different. Most often, Jinn women were seen and not heard.
All Roland s previous contact had been through male ambassadors, but he was by
no means averse to dealing with women.
 Thank you. Show the lady in.
The herald retreated, appearing a few minutes later with a woman in tow,
though she towered over the teen. She was raven-haired and buxom, a fact he
saw his younger brothers note with interest. He sent them a private warning.
Put your tongues back in your mouths, boys. This is a diplomat and we cannot
afford to offend her.
Lana heard the comment in her mind as well. She rose to greet the woman with a
warm smile hiding her amusement.
 Be welcome, Lady Magda. Will you have some breakfast with us? Lana was
already making motions for another place to be set at the long table, across
from her and Roland.
The Jinn woman smiled and her beauty only seemed to increase. She had
startling green eyes, Roland saw& the color so very familiar.
 You must be Queen Alania. I am Second Steward of the Black Dragon
Clan, come to bring news of your sister, Arikia.
 My sister? Lana s face lit with eagerness and went pale with fear at the
Page 83

same time.  What can you tell me of my sister?
The woman sat as Lana did. Roland took his wife s hand and squeezed it
in support as the other woman spoke.
 Prince Nicolas has found and rescued your sister. They are even now with my
people at the Jinnfaire near the northern border of Skithdron. A
messenger arrived in the night with the news and bid me gather all the Jinn
here, for their homecoming. They were married last night, in the ways of our
people, and your sister was crowned Queen of the Jinn.
 What? Lana s eyes were bright with unshed tears of joy.  Nico and
Riki? That s fantastic! But how can she be Queen of the Jinn? Was she with
your people all this time?
Magda shook her head and told them all she knew of Riki s imprisonment and
escape. Magda had a great deal of information from reports of the Jinn
musicians Lucan employed. They d watched the sad, green-eyed girl and reported
back news of her over the months of her captivity, each separate report
coalescing over time to indicate she might be the girl of whom the seers
spoke.
Roland listened with quiet interest. What this Jinn woman told them was [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
