Chapter 487: A Dragon’s Certainty (M)

"Right... there! Ahnn!"

With his arms pinned behind his back and his wrists held firmly by his mate, there was simply no way to stop his mouth from letting out such breathless, desperate noises.

From moaning every time Kael drove deep to fill him completely to whining whenever he dared pull back and screaming as Kael’s length grazed the particular spot that set his entire body trembling, Riley was truly kept far too occupied.

"HAAA!"

He’d been shaking so hard that the only way to keep himself in place was for Kael to hold him up like this. Yet it only made him feel even more sensitive, because he was strangely turned on by this total lack of control.

He couldn’t touch himself. Not his rock-hard nipples and definitely not his desperate, throbbing member. Everything was currently left at the mercy of the man whom he couldn’t even see from where he lay.

And yet it made everything even more thrilling.

Not knowing when or how he’d be rammed or when Kael would pull him flush against his chest, and praying for the release he so deeply craved kept him on edge the entire time.

Though more than the unpredictability, it was feeling just how desperate his mate was to be inside him. It was a form of satisfaction he’d never be able to admit to anyone else, but one that really had him propping up his ass even when the rest of his body wanted to crash onto the mattress.

But just when he thought he’d have to guess what the golden dragon would do next, Riley’s eyes actually widened.

"...!"

His back arched instinctively, his claws emerging before he even realized what was happening.

This...

The sudden way Kael’s pheromones switched into a completely different gear had Riley’s lips parted mid-moan.

Oh!

His entire body flushed hot in response to Kael’s wordless question. It seemed the dragon lord was finally satisfied with his preparations and was now ready to let his mate take all of him.

For a moment, Riley felt time stop as something ultimately draconic started taking place. But just as Kael had said earlier, sure enough, his answer was still an absolute yes.

He truly wanted this.

And like any dragon, he conveyed his answer through his pheromones, something he never thought he’d experience himself. Now richly imbued with mana, they surged throughout the room as his emerald eyes glinted with dazed, unbridled pleasure.

__

The connection was familiar, and with a thrust he craved, Riley let out a sound meant only for his mate’s ears.

Just like when they were united for the first time as fated mates, this particular moment had him electrified to his literal core.

Instead of the sensations merely coursing through his nerves, even the spiritual pathways leading directly to his core seemed to come alive, sending waves of mana through places Riley hadn’t even realized could respond this way.

The pleasure was so intense that when Kael pumped with a heavy grunt, Riley couldn’t help but release.

Gods.

For one terrifyingly wonderful moment, he genuinely thought his soul was going to leave his body.

His toes curled tightly, and every muscle in his body pulled taut as he rode out an orgasm so profound he honestly felt he wouldn’t be the same person again.

"Haaaaaah! Haah!"

He was already preparing to twist and reach back toward Kael so he could hold onto him when something unexpected made him freeze.

"...?"

Wait.

Much to the panting ex-mortal’s shock, the member still buried deep inside him didn’t pull out or soften. It actually grew even bigger.

"?!"

The rightfully baffled black dragon had to whip his head back. It was then that he realized, upon seeing Kael looking at him with that expression, that he was the only one who had come.

Meanwhile, Kael Dravaryn found his mate’s bewilderment rather adorable, despite being one mere smile away from release himself.

After all, he needed to savor moments like this, since it wasn’t often that he got to see Riley looking so completely out of his depth.

Between the two of them, Kael might have lived considerably longer, but his thousands of years of existence somehow paled in comparison to all the things Riley had managed to experience and learn during his relatively short and originally mortal life.

Usually, it was his twig who introduced him to something unexpected.

So naturally, Kael intended to cherish this rare opportunity to surprise him.

Especially since none of this would’ve been possible before Riley regained his true dragon form.

What Kael intended to share with him wasn’t something an ordinary mortal, or even most magical beings, could safely withstand. Not when the one offering that power was a dragon with reserves as vast as his.

And so, all the preparation and self-restraint leading up to this moment hadn’t simply been to spare Riley unimaginable pain. In a way, this was something thousands of years in the making.

"Kael..." Riley stared at him suspiciously. "Don’t tell me that wasn’t it yet?"

"It?"

Riley narrowed his eyes.

Seeing that expression, Kael decided not to tease him any further.

"If I had already gotten you pregnant, you would know."

"...What?"

"Because, my love," Kael murmured, his golden eyes gleaming with affection, "it would’ve felt like this—"

"!"

Like being reborn, or like seeing into the future.

Maybe calling it that was too much, but at the very least, it felt like his entire body was simply one giant ball of nerves being submerged in mana so concentrated that he could forget his own name.

As if finally given permission by the universe, Kael came right then with a low, deep groan that had Riley’s body heating up in pure anticipation.

Then it became clear that the sensation was coming from his abdomen.

No.

More precisely, he’d become acutely aware of everything Kael had painstakingly poured into him, each drop so thoroughly imbued with the dragon lord’s addictive mana that he could practically feel its presence inside him.

If earlier had been about reaching Riley’s core and uniting with him, this was about Kael leaving a part of his legacy inside his mate. It was a process so intense that most dragons would never dare unleash the full extent of their abilities, fearing their partners simply wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

And yet...

Riley’s body was asking Kael for more.

As if wanting the absolute best for the brat that was to come, the black dragon was demanding Kael hold nothing back.

So he was doing just that. Giving him everything he wanted.

Pulling his mate up, Kael held him securely in his arms for a process that would take a while, one where he would continuously get his mate to release until they were finally done.

The sudden movement and shift in position had Riley’s body shuddering, and he let out a scream, certain something else was going to burst forth!

"!!!"

A fountain of release spilled from him as he came again. Being so hypersensitive after his earlier orgasm, this second wave pushed him straight to the brink of unravelling.

It was so visceral that he felt like he was close to shifting forms uncontrollably, only able to stay in his current form because Kael held him so firmly in place.

"Hu..."

As his vision swam and his body went completely slack, he realized his mate wasn’t kidding. He would know, just as he did now.

They had really succeeded.
