65. MASON

I groaned, eyes snapping open to blink up at the dark ceiling. My body ached from sleeping in the uncomfortable position for too long, but it wasn’t what woke me.

My head lowered and my eyes locked with Angel’s.

She was kneeling between my parted legs, her lips wrapped around my cock. Reaching up, she gripped my thighs and slowly pulled back to smile at me.

“I love waking up with your lips wrapped around my cock,” I growled, reaching for her.

Angel instantly moved out of my reach, making me frown. The smile faded when she leaned forward again and wrapped her lips around my cock again.

I gripped the arms of the chair tightly to keep myself from moving. The wood groaned, but thankfully it didn’t snap. If she continued though, there was no guarantee that the chair would be in one piece when she was done with me.

With her attention focused on my cock, I leaned forward and jerked her onto my lap.

Her gasp was swallowed by me when I captured her lips. Wrapping her arms around my neck, she arched her body against mine, pussy rubbing against my cock.

I wrapped both my arms around her waist to hold her tightly against me.

My lips moved down her jaw to her neck.

Her head dropped back to give me better access as she moaned.

I nipped on her skin with my teeth, fighting the urge to mark her again. I settled on licking my mark instead before tracing the edges with my tongue.

Her nails dug into my skin, but it wasn’t painful.

I liked the bite of pain.

Gripping her hips, I lifted her slightly and then slowly lowered her onto my cock. Our eyes locked and held as she started to roll her hips. Her pussy was warm and wet, still filled with my brother’s cum. But that wasn’t the only thing that felt different, her pussy felt tighter.

Reaching up, I focused on allowing one claw to slide out of my fingertip. I pressed it to my skin and cut, making blood well. Angel’s eyes locked with mine for a few seconds and then she lowered her head, pressing her lips to my skin.

My head dropped back, hips thrusting upwards as she sucked on my skin, drawing blood from my body.

I listened to her swallow, and it made me even hotter.

The beast rose to the surface, my knot swelling as my balls drew up. I was close and the moment her pussy started clenching around my cock, I gave in to the fight and followed her over the edge.

Panting, we clung to each other.

I shivered when her tongue flicked out to taste my skin. Letting out another low moan, she finally raised her head to smile at me.

I wiped some blood from the corner of her lips as I returned her smile.

“Wow,” she breathed.

“Are you okay?” I questioned.

Angel nodded and reached up to run shaky fingers through my hair. Her eyes darted over my face and dropped to my lips. She pressed a shaky finger to my lips, making me part them.

I held still as she pressed a finger to my teeth.

“They’re so sharp,” she whispered. “I can’t believe you actually bit me.”

Grabbing her wrist, I pressed a kiss to her palm and then to her wrist.

“Did it hurt when I bit you?” I asked her.

Angel didn’t answer me immediately.

“You chose the right moment to bite me,” she finally answered. “It didn’t hurt that much at first but when some of the pleasure faded…” She trailed off.

“Lucas taught me a few things last night,” I told her softly. “Most of the information is about dragon mates but Lucas believes that it will work the same with you since you’re our true mate.”

She swallowed and then licked her lips. “Can I read it?”

“You don’t even have to ask, love.”

“It’s just that Lucas said that some things aren’t meant for me to know.”

“That was before we marked you as our mate,” Lucas said as he entered the office with a tray filled with food.

He placed it down on the desk within reach and then walked over to the window to take a look outside.

I picked up a piece of fruit and held it to Angel’s lips. She hesitated a moment and then took a bite.

My knot slowly went down as I fed her. I was glad to see that Angel had more of an appetite. She finished a whole plate of fruit and some of the yogurt before she had enough.

A sigh fell from Lucas as he turned away from the window.

“More trouble?” I asked him.

“Surprisingly not,” he muttered as moved closer. “A few people overheard Maurice calling Angel queen. At least we don’t have to worry about how we are going to tell the people about Angel anymore.”

It was one less thing to worry about, but it didn’t take care of all our worries.

Mother was still someone we needed to sort out, and then there were the issues with the council if they decided to take things future and remove Lucas from his position.

We needed to find a suitable place for Angel to stay that was warm enough for her.

Lucas wrapped a blanket around Angel’s shoulders and carefully picked her up. With her in his arms, he nodded at me and then walked over to the secret tunnel behind his desk.

“If anyone’s looking for me, I’m busy handling something.” He frowned at me. “I don’t want to be disturbed unless it’s something very important, got it?”

I glared at him. “I believe we were still busy.”

Lucas smirked but said nothing as he disappeared into the tunnel.

Shaking my head, I got up and fixed my pants. I walked over to the window and pushed the curtain aside. There were only a few people lingering outside the gates and surprisingly, most of them carried flowers and fruit baskets.

I frowned.

It was a complete one-eighty on their part.

But I wasn’t going to complain. The more people were on our side, the better. If we had the kingdom behind us, the council couldn’t do shit about Lucas and the fact that Angel was our mate.

“Trouble?” Nate questioned as he walked out of the bathroom, freshly showered.

“Not so far,” I told him honestly. “Looks like fruit baskets and some flowers.”

Nate frowned. “Fruit baskets in this weather? I don’t trust anyone bringing Angel gifts made of magic.”

When he said it like that…

“Lucas asked not to be disturbed unless it’s something very important,” I told him.

“Of course he did,” Nate muttered.

The tone of his voice made me study him a little closer. Nate caught my eye and gave me a grim smile.

“He’s planning on asking her to marry him.”
