He glanced at her legs "Hhhm I’d hate for you to kick me," he muttered to himself

"Don’t you dare!"

Which, of course,her body as he sloalked to the foot of the bed He stopped long enough to gently grip a nipple between thuer and squeeze She barely stopped that rinned

Then he was ain Once he reached the end of the bed, he locked a chain to the tall bedpost and then grabbed hold of her foot, cuffing it

He walked to the other side, the whole ti at her

"Gods, Rhiannon, you are beautiful Whether as dragon or humanyou’re beautiful"

She’d had other males say similar words to her in the past, but never with such passion and, because Bercelak wanted only her and not her crown, those wordsanyone had said before

Her other foot locked to the bedpost, she now lay spread eagle and open for his pleasure She couldn’t wait

Instead of taking her, though, he stared at her for long moments and finally she couldn’t stand the silence any about what I’ to me, Rhiannon Everyone Tellto hurt But it would be a shortlived pain and she wanted all to know she belonged to hions from far and wide to know that to even look at her was to risk her mate’s wrath

She bit her lip to keep in the screaue wound its way across her exposed body And where his tongue couldn’t reach, he let out a lash of Magick-ireorse and worse, so did the feeling that was growing steadily along her spine and in her puy

As she fought to keep her cries of pain in, she also fought to keep in her screaue slid across her belly, she arched her back and screamed out her cli, his tongueup her body, across her ribs, and around one breast to lash across a nipple That’s when another cliue slid across her upper chest and collar bone, then across her neck, finally stopping as he stroked her jaw

For a ht he’d splash it across her face, but he’d hate to give her any more scars than he already had

"Does it hurt?" he whispered in her ear
