The Dragon's Bride
Chapter 22

After Rydstorm went over plans with Fang about getting prepared for an attack, he went to replace Catori, who was having a conversation with Nita.

“I mean it when I said that I will break the curse. I will do all that I can to help you.” Catori said, holding Nita’s hands.

Nita gave a little smile. “I believe you. I can’t thank you enough for never leaving me alone in that place.”

Nita glanced over to see Rydstorm leaning on the wall. She immediately jumped to her feet, did a bow, then rushed out.

When Rydstorm got to where his mate was still sitting, her stomach made an embarrassing noise that caused her face to go red and her to peek up to see if he heard.

“Let’s go get you some food.” Rydstorm held out a hand for her.

He shimmered to the eating area, which caused Catori to double over and dry heave.

Rydstorm rubbed her back soothingly, sending apologies.

“I have to remind myself that you aren’t used to that yet before doing it again.”

“I’m fine.’’

“What would you like?”

“What time is it?” Catori asked.

“I’m assuming it’s almost five.” Rydstorm told her.

“I would really like some beef stew.’’

Rydstorm made a gesture to a woman Catori hadn’t noticed before.

“Fang told me what you did for him.”

Catori paused before taking a seat.

“I believe that most people deserve a second chance, and in his case, he is under a spell.”

“Acting like a true Queen.” Rydstorm said proudly.

Catori smiled at his words.

“So, are you going to fill me in on the plans?”

“It’s nothing for you to worry about.”

“But-” She let it drop.

Catori and Rydstorm sat around the table talking after their meal. Her eyes began to close, while her head was nodding, while listening to Rydstorm’s soothing voice.

“Time for bed?” Rydstorm said, taking a hold of Catori’s hand.

She pulled away from him.

“No, it’s too early.” She complained.

Rydstrom ignored her words, and without her expecting it, he lifted her up and brought her up to their room.

Catori leant her head on his chest, listening to the fast speed of his heartbeat. The rhythm was irregular, sounding like an offbeat drum.

Rydstorm peered down at his bride, noticing how perfectly she fit in his arms and how complete he felt with her there.

He smiled at her closed eyelids, then used his shoulder to open the door.

Rydstorm gently placed Catori on her side of the bed, then pulled the heavy sheets up to her chin. He kissed her forehead, then settled in beside her.

“Rydstorm?″

“Yes, my love?″

“I-.”

Rydstorm turned to his side, waiting for her to finish.

But instead, Catori placed a delicate hand on his cheek before bringing her face close to his.

With a shy and tentative kiss, she pressed her lips softly to his.

A rumbling sound erupted in his chest, and as much as he wanted to deepen the kiss and do more with Catori. He allowed her to do what she wanted to do.

When she pulled away, Catori knotted her fingers, afraid of what Rydstorm’s reaction might be.

But his eyes were closed as he was trying to savor the moment.

“Rydstorm?”

He soon opened his eyes to look at her.

Catori swallowed hard before making her next move. She pushed at his chest until he was lying on his back, then moved to sit on top of him.

Her action shocked Rydstorm, but he eventually smiled after.

When Catori shifted to make herself more comfortable, Rydstorm let out a low growl that made her breathing hitch.

At first she thought of getting off him, but at the same time, the smile he wore made her think twice. So, she leant down to kiss his chest, then moved to the pink peaks that were his nipples.

Rydstorm hissed when his mate’s hot breath tickled his nipples. Then he gripped the headboard, causing it to crack under pressure.

Rydstorm could feel himself getting harder, and knew if she didn’t stop, then he would have to take her.

There was no way he could control himself if she continued like this.

When Catori sat up again, Rydstorm watched her closely, assessing her next move.

He saw her gaze dropping to his stomach and going further down. She then used her finger to follow the trail of blue hair to just above his pants.

His eyes found hers, and he didn’t know what she was thinking.

She swallowed hard, moving her eyes and his chest.

“There is no need to be shy.” Rydstorm told her.

Thinking he could make her more comfortable, Rydstorm unbuttoned his brown leather pants, allowing it to expose more of him and so that Catori could get her eyes full.

She immediately pulled on his hair, causing him to buck.

“Sorry.” Catori apologized.

“It’s alright, just never expected that.” Rydstorm told her.

Rydstorm couldn’t help his smile and thought at how curious his mate was. He was enjoying himself as her soft hands roamed his body.

She gently tugged on the waist of his pants, causing it to expose more of him to her.

Rydstorm slightly lift his waist so she could pull at his pants, now pulling it down enough just to cover his cock.

As if on instinct, Catori started to move her hips in a circle, feeling herself growing wet. Her nipples began to strain against her blouse, aching for Rydstorm to touch her.

Without warning, Rydstorm ripped her top away from her body, exposing her pale breasts that seem much bigger than what her blouse gave away.

His mouth almost watered, wanting to know what she would taste like.

When he finally pinched one of her nipples, she jerked with a cry that turned into a moan then circled her hips again.

With another moan, she fastened her pace because of the feeling his hardness brought.

He then used a hand to cup her breast, which fit perfectly in his hand.

Catori arched her back with another moan.

“Do you want me?” Rydstorm asked.

Unable to replace her voice, Catori nodded.

In a swift movement and squeals from Catori, Rydstorm had her on her back.

Catori wanted to tell him to do anything he pleased. She wouldn’t mind even though she was scared, but all in her mind now was to please him.

Rydstorm tried his best to not rush things. He wanted to go slow, make sure this was what she really wanted.

Catori moved her hips up, receiving a groan from Rydstorm.

And to both of their surprise, she pushed his pants down to expose his length, which sprang alive.

She gasped, not expecting it to be so big, then her eyes widened upon seeing it get bigger.

“D-did it just grow?” she asked curiously.

“Yes, that’s what these things do.” Rydstorm nodded.

After seeing his erection, Catori began to regain most of her senses but not enough for her to stop.

“How will it fit?”

Rydstorm grinned, “don’t worry, it will.”

Catori gazed at him.

“Don’t worry, we can stop if you aren’t ready. I don’t want to hurt you.”

He waited for her to respond. When she didn’t, he tried to move away, but she did something that caused his body to go ridge and him to let out a loud roar.

Her hand shot out to grip his cock, giving it a little squeeze in the process.

With harsh breathing, Catori began to explore his length, moving her hand up and down, then ran her fingers along the veins.

Rydstorm got a hold of her hand. At first she thought he was telling her to stop, but instead he folded her hand into a fist so it could tighten around his cock, then began to move it back and forth in steady strokes.

“Like that.” He groaned.

Catori continued the action, then sat up with her hand, never leaving his cock. She did this so she could kiss him.

“Get in your back.”

Rydstorm did so, not believing that such a small creature had him so weak and at her mercy.

This time, Catori wanted to know what he tasted like and as she got closer. Her hot breath tickled Rydstorm, causing his erection to pulse and beads of moisture to form on the head.

Her tongue licked at the beads. Rydstorm toes curled, and he gripped the sheets.

Her mouth slowly went down on his length, but because of her inexperience, her teeth scraped against his skin. But Rydstorm was too mind blown to care.

He expected her to stop soon, but she continued until he felt himself on the edge and he lost his seed in her mouth.

To his surprise, she swallowed his come. He stared at her with wide eyes.

Catori didn’t have much time to ask why he was looking at her like that, because it was her turn to be pleasured.

When Rydstorm ran his thumb along her clitoris, Catori gasped, then moaned.

“So soft and wet.” He said, his voice rugged.

He used her own moisture to rub his finger over her sensitive clitoris. Bringing forth more moans.

As much as he wanted to claim his mate, he was willing to use his fingers and mouth because he could feel her slight resistance.

Finally, Rydstorm dipped a finger inside Catori. She cried out from the intensity, and he hissed from how tight she felt.

With his finger deep inside her, he then began to circle her clitoris with his thumb.

It didn’t take long for her to become undone. She thrashed her head from side to side as she climaxed.

When her eyes opened, the both of them were of a matching violet.

“Oh my God.” Was all Catori could say as she came down from her high.

Rydstorm kissed her deeply, then brought her head close, so it was resting on his chest.
