The Book of Mara Chapter 44
"He wants you… badly."Tohr's words continued to echo in my head long after that night was over. His words drifted off to sleep with me, and they were the first thing that went through my head when I woke up.I had mixed emotions when I found him gone when I woke up. A part of me wished I could have woken up in his arms. However, I was also glad that I was alone and able to think things through. My mind was so chaotic that I hadn't even paid attention as the ladies' maid chatting with each other and helped me get ready. I didn't argue with them, didn't do anything to help them or hinder them. I was too busy thinking about Tohr's words and trying to let them settle in. They still sent a shiver down my spine even now. And it wasn't all fear; in fact, it wasn't even mostly fear. Intrigue, curiosity, and yes, even arousal. Only a truly cold and heartless woman would not want a man like Tohr and to know that both he and his dragon desired me? That just drove me even more crazy. Now that I

The thrill of sneaking around once more did have my heart racing again. I tuned into the guard's conversation, trying to figure out where they were going. It was a bit broken in translation, but a few words gave me the jest of it. They were speaking about some woman they had met. I could have sworn I heard something along the lines of 'together laid' yet that didn't make sense, at first until I realized I was mistaking the context. It was the pure masculine chuckle that gave the truth away. It was the laugh of a male boasting about his exploits. Oh. I thought, feeling my face flush as I realized they were talking about a sexual conquest. How were these people having sex of any sort if it leads to a bonding? I wondered absently as I heard them enter a door on the other side of the wall I was hiding behind. As soon as I heard it click shut, I hurried down the steps on the side of the buildings. It circled the structure until ending in a large courtyard on the far side of the castle tha

My eyes narrowed on her face, and a wicked smile crossed my own. I was sincerely going to enjoy this. Reaching up, I grabbed her hair, mimicking the hold that she had on mine. My smile widened at the look of surprise on her face moments before I slammed my forehead into her nose hearing, the fragile bone break with immense satisfaction. She immediately let me go to grab her nose. I kicked the back of her knees, dropping her in front of me. My smile was all she saw now that she was looking up at me."Never… underestimate a redhead, bitch," I sneered before shoving her completely to the ground. The other girls stepped away from me to circle their leader trying to make sure she was okay. They helped her up and, giving me a scathing look, hurried her away.I watched them leave with a smirk on my face, feeling rather proud of myself. "Oh, wow!" a voice popped up from behind me. I turned around, fully expecting another fight on my hands. Only to find a very short woman standing a few fe

I winced as the burst of translation raced through my head. He wanted me to move my ass so he could see the new whore, sex-toy, and a dozen other nasty words. I didn't quite pick the right word that he was trying to use. But the way that Ethallia turned pale and began to shake, I knew she had."Does he mean…" her voice trailed off.My eyes closed at the terror that I can feel coming from her. "They are speaking of…" I searched my mind trying to remember the word the guards had said earlier. "Lay with you."She immediately shrunk back a bit and shook her head in denial. "No, no, that can't be true. They wouldn't do that to me," she denied quietly. "My family wouldn't do that!"A cloth flashed in front of my face letting me know that one of the men had gotten brave and decided he was just going to "choose" me. Spinning towards him, I shoved Ethallia behind me and looked towards him to the stained cloth up to the guy with absolute disgust."What am I expected to do with that?" I asked in

To make matters worse was my mind was already leaning towards the bonding. My body was begging for it. Now that I was actively thinking about it the yearning for it was growing. Yet, something was holding me back, and I was slowly beginning to understand what it was. I could not handle or condone the way women were treated here. I hated the idea that I was considered less important than the males here. I was a smart, strong, and fully capable of making my own decisions. It grated on my nerves that they were wanting to tell me what to do. The Draygons in the training ring had made it abundantly clear what they thought of me, of the females in general. It was extremely hard to want to be with someone who couldn't see my worth. Though Tohr had mostly treated me with respect, even if he was bossy, I still had to refuse the bonding with him for now. I just couldn't do it. Treddian's led us inside the castle and into the large gathering area with the thrones. Tohr sat on his high-backed go

The room murmured as the woman rose, her eyes wet and she looked at me gratefully."Thank you, thank you, my Queen. Thank you," she said and reached for me."Call me, Lady Mara," I insisted quietly, feeling more confident with that title.I held my hand out to her embracing her in the hug that Erik taught me, our foreheads touching."You're welcome. What is your name?"She squeezed my forearms and began to cry some more."I am Synne," she replied. "I am so sorry... so sorry for daring to sit in your throne.""Enough with that. Go and clean up. Then come back. I will help you," I told Synne in broken Draygonian, hoping she would understand my intent.She nodded and squeezed my forearms once more than left the room. The entire entourage that was sitting around watching the proceedings stood eerily silent as they watched the woman leave.I felt Tohr step up behind me. "My little fyre. I am happy to see you are finally accepting our bonding. Though we will have to work on you challenging m

He took my arm and led me to our room. My anxious and worried mind, running over every possibility until I felt exhausted just from the exercise.The tension in his back made his anger at my 'disobedience' very evident. I was anxious about whatever he was planning and quite confused about why I was allowing him to do it anyway. Maybe, it was the twinge of guilt I was feeling for not obeying. Which was stupid. I was my own person! I didn't have to feel guilty about my decision.Except…"Except you knew the reason I asked you to stay with Nerrian until someone came to get you. We have to make sure you are safe," Tohr answered, staring at me intensely.I could see the shadow of worry in his eyes, and that made the guilt grow until it ate away at my stomach."Yes, that is the reason for the punishment, my little fire. To relieve you of the feelings of guilt and so maybe, just maybe, you'll think twice about disobeying me next time," he explained with a dark look.His words hit me hard and

The dark message prevented me from enjoying the fact that I had managed to successfully translate one of the roars that did not have a translation.There was a response to it, one that sounded something like acceptance. Maybe even agreement."What's happening?" I asked him."Treddian will finish the punishment that bastard has earned. Once done, Treddian will bring him to the dungeon to await the retribution that I have demanded for him daring to touch what is mine," Tohr growled at me, his golden eyes flashing with possession.In the blink of an eye, he was in front of me. He jerked me out of the chair and crushed me against his chest as his lips descended on mine. His kiss was crazed, demanding. His mind swung open once more, and I found desperation to remind me who I belonged to as well as making sure I was okay.I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back, unable to deny his need. Every bit of my being wanted to do whatever I could to calm him, to ease the pain in him.Hi

He squeezed my hand one more time before letting go. It was a small gesture, however with Treddian, who was raised in this world to not show affection to another man's woman or risk death, it was a huge step. I turned my attention to the last two people who stepped up to me and raised my eyebrows when I saw it was Ethallia and Synne. "What is it you need, my ladies?" Tohr asked them gently. "Your Majesty, we wish to plead our loyalty to the Queen, as well. Without her here, our lives would have been very different, and now we would be honored if she would accept them in return," Synne replied softly. "That is not necessary," I replied to them."Your Highness, with all due respect, you gave us our lives back and the courage to take charge of them. There is nothing we want to do more than to pledge them to you," Ethallia countered. I looked to Tohr for help. But he had stepped back and was allowing me to handle this. I stood and walked up to the ladies and took their hands. "Are yo

"Caylan," I called, getting his attention. Caylan turned and his icy blue eyes pierced through me as they started to turn slightly Draygonish. "Please… be patient… this… this is not our way, and she may end up hating you if you push too much," I pleaded with him. Caylan nodded to me. I wasn't sure if it was an agreement or acknowledgment. Either way, I was forced to stand there and watch as Caylan carried my new friend off to his 'Draygon lair'. "She will be fine, Mara. You know as well as I do, my little fyre, that a Draygon will do whatever it takes to make sure his mate gives him their heart," Tohr reminded me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed the top of my head. "Most of all, she is safe and protected." I nodded and sighed heavily, hoping one day she would forgive me for this. I felt as if I had to feed her to the wolves.Before I could contemplate or worry about anything, else Tohr was pulling me towards the front of the hall where the thrones were and had me s

-Little fyre. I am damned proud of you. You fought him with all the fyre inside your soul. Sólas would still be after us no matter what you had done. He is the one to blame for what we are going through right now. - I gave him a small smile and tried to let his words soothe me. "Thank you for warning me," I told Caylan. "I appreciate all that you have done for us." "You do not have to thank me, Your highness. It was the least I could do after everything you both did for my people. I, however, did wish to thank you for bringing our princess back." My eyes widened. "Gabby?" As if my words summoned her, Gabby walked in like the princess she was descended from. She looked around the room. As soon as she spotted us, she made a beeline for the group, and the look on her face was one of anger. "Ohhh hell," I whispered in English. "You!" she snapped at me. "You have been back for how long? And you have not stopped to say hi?" "Gabby, I'm so sorry! I just… Ummm," I floundered for a reas

I turned and grabbed her shoulders. "Even if you weren't mated to my brother and my favorite guard, you would still belong here." The tears Ethallia was holding back burst open and poured down her cheeks. I hugged her again until the sniffing stopped, and I could tell she was feeling better. I caught bits and pieces of her thoughts, and they were just as sweet as her words. I gave her one last strong hug struggling to control my own tears.-You okay, mate? - Tohr asked concerned. -Yes, mate. I am just so happy right now. - I replied, coating my words with the love I felt for him and these people. He sent back his love letting it wash over me. -I'm so glad, my little fyre. Now hurry so I can have you in my arms again. -I laughed slightly and pulled away from Ethallia. "Alright. My own mate seems to be whining cause I'm not close. Can you help me finish this up?" I asked her, pushing at my quickly drying hair. She nodded and pushed me towards the chair. Under her quick and daft fing

I giggled breathlessly yet didn't deny either of his claims. He set me down on my feet, being sure to hold onto me until I was able to stand on my weak knees. With my head cleared of him, I realized that we were still in one of the main hallways to the castle. Anyone could have walked in and seen what we were doing. Tohr chuckled. "I'm pretty sure the whole world heard you coming, mate." His wink on the innuendo, then again knowing him it wasn't an innuendo at all, caused my cheeks to flush, and I smacked his arm. He laughed and pressed a kiss to my nose before pulling me down the hall to our room.When he opened the door, I saw Ethallia and Synne standing there waiting for me. The adjoining door to the bathroom area was open, and I could smell the scented oils they used for the bath. A wide smile crossed my face, and I practically raced to the bathroom. I slammed the door shut on their surprised faces before I jerked the veils off and practically jumped in. The water was a little t

-Green, huh? - I thought with a smile. -So apparently, my mate is a descendant of the Narhas'fa, huh? - I gave him a goofy Draygana grin. -I guess I am. Do you think you can live with that? - He smoothed his hand down my scales sending shivers down my spine. "Yes, my mate. Even if you had never been a Draygon at all I would still love you the same," he admitted before backing away and changing. As his own Draygon was released, he braced his front feet and let out a loud yell calling to his mate. Me. I braced my feet and returned the call. To anyone else, it would have sounded horrifying or scary. However, to us, it was a beautiful ballad. With one hard flap of his wings, he was off into the sky and began to circle the area waiting for me. I watched him for a moment admiring the grace with which he soared through the sky. For such a big creature, Tohr was agile and swift that I loved watching him fly. The need to join him overpowered me until I was shoving off the ground and s

I only looked back up when I knew they were fully changed. Treddian was an enormous Golden Draygon. Beautiful and vibrant, his head sprouted two horns that bent slightly backward but ended with two extremely sharp-looking tips. His back was relatively free of spikes until the very tip of his tail held one deadly-looking spike. I couldn't remember seeing anything like that on Tohr and made a mental note to ask about it. -Treddian's has some Silver Draygon in him. - Tohr explained. -They sport those tiny spikes on their tails and a little mustache that comes out the sides of their nostrils. It is a rare thing nowadays to see a silver Draygon. They were obsessed about only mating with their own kind. As such, they have almost driven themselves to the brink of extinction. - Tohr explained. -I thought you guys only mated with the ones you bond with. But according to Sólas and now these silver Draygons, it seems not necessary. - I asked, suddenly remembering Sólas's words about how that wa

Quiet voices woke me slowly. They sounded close but not close enough for me to make out what they were talking about. However, even those quiet voices were not the reason I had woken up. No, my Draygana insisted that I investigate why voices were disturbing our sanctuary and why our mate was not beside us. I groaned in agitation and tried to quiet her down. -Be still, my mate. It is your brother and his mates who come to check on us and give us an update. - Tohr's voice ran through me like fingers stroking down my spine in comfort. I smiled softly and allowed him to soothe both my Draygana and me. She purred and preened, then dropped away calm now that she knew he was okay. I couldn't help rolling my eyes at her internally, then stretched, allowing myself to wake up a bit more. Realizing I was still naked, I flushed hard and looked around for something to cover myself with. I heard footsteps heading my way, and the search became a bit more frantic, not knowing who it was who would

I heard his growl once more pulled from the depths of him. His Draygon reared his head and pushing Tohr to give in to his mate. "Then you will have me, little fyre," he growled out loud, his voice sending shivers down my spine. He rose above me and locked his eyes with mine. I spread my legs wide, feeling his hard cock pressing just slightly against my dripping wet channel. I winced a little as he began to push in. I was by no means a virgin. However, I was not well experienced either. However, neither one of those men had been anywhere near as big as Tohr. Not to mention they had been a while ago. Despite how turned on I was, it was like he was my first again, and my body was struggling to allow him in. "Relax, sweeting. Your body will let me in. You are made for me," he whispered into my ear. His hands slide down my body finding my nipples and began to play with them once more. The discomfort began to slowly be replaced by pleasure as his fingers pulled and twisted at my nipples.
