Ivormantis Read online

  Ivormantis turned his long neck around to her and nuzzled against the side of her head with his big nose. “Yes, you are quite amazing, little mate. However, I couldn’t help but notice your energy signature is becoming quite strong from all of our activities. Can you try to use either the water, or even the wind, to help break down or send them away from here?”

  Naquadus jumped out of the water, not even waiting for the elf to dissolve the energy fireballs. “Meldamiriel, use the wind. You have the ability of creating hurricane strength winds. Use that to decimate the energy signatures.”

  Sapphamire climbed out of the water and all three dragons watched silently as the little elf once again closed her eyes to concentrate. The first thing that happened was the fireballs were suddenly extinguished. With a simple ‘pop’ sound, the fireballs disappeared as if nothing was there in the first place.

  With her eyes still shut, she murmured loud enough for the dragons to hear her. “Hold on, it’s about to get windy.” She concentrated on the energy of the wind until she had a firm lock on it and had complete control over it. All around her the wind suddenly picked up, blowing the trees in the nearby forest until they were nearly bowed over in half.

  After a minute or two of the fierce winds, everything calmed. The howling winds were replaced with a stillness that would have given away a pin dropping. Meldamiriel opened her eyes and smiled up at Ivormantis. “It is done. My energy signature has been completely removed and blown apart so much that it is impossible to trace it back to me.”

  Suddenly, three men emerged from behind the waterfall. “Little elf,” Edmond, the leader of the white werewolves called to her. “Next time you want to create a weather phenomenon, could we at least have an advanced warning?” The grin on his face told everyone that he wasn’t mad at her in the least.

  Blain quickly emerged from where Sapphamire sat a moment ago. Walking over to his friend, he greeted, “Sorry about that, Edmond, we are trying to work with Meldamiriel to get her more comfortable with the use of her powers. She was creating a good energy signature, so we had her demolish it and scatter it on the wind. Did we cause any damage?” he asked out of concern.

  The white wolf shifter shrugged his shoulders as he shook his head. “Nothing a bit of hammering and nails couldn’t fix. We felt her power signature and I sent Bryan to go make sure trouble wasn’t brewing. When he reported back to me you were in a training exercise, I didn’t worry,” he stopped and chuckled. “Just caught us a bit off guard.”

  “Sorry, we’ll try to remember to give you guys a courtesy call next time we come out here to practice.”

  “Oh, that’s okay. I seriously doubt you’ll catch us off guard again so easily. It actually came in the form of a good lesson. ‘Don’t get to comfortable and complacent.’ Out here, you always need to keep your guard up.”

  Dominic and Meldamiriel walked up holding hands. “Hi, my little Omega,” the wolf shifter greeted with reverence.

  “Hi, Edmond. I’m truly sorry if I caused any of you damage. That wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to break down and disperse the energy particles in the air.”

  “It’s okay, little Omega. We stood inside the tree line and watched your training in awe. Your powers are still not at full potential yet, but they will be very soon.” He stopped and stared at her, his dark eyes seemed to be looking into her soul. Out of habit, she inched closer to Dominic, relying on his strength to keep her safe if the need arose.

  Edmond cocked his head sideways. “Little one, do you fear me? Believe me, you have nothing to be fearful of. I, on the other hand, can promise you I won’t be doing anything to piss you off any time soon! You hold the power to protect yourself from any type of attack, little one. And your powers are still coming out. Within a day or so, you will be very powerful.”

  Dominic leaned down and hugged her. “You know, Edmond is right. You had no trouble keeping Sapphamire and Naquadus away from you. Plus, you had them chasing their tails at the end!” He chuckled.

  She smiled up at him, and a small giggle escaped her. “I guess I did have their dragons chasing their tales, didn’t I?”

  Back in the castle, Dominic and Meldamiriel walked hand in hand up the stairs. At the top of the stairs, Dominic stopped them. “I thought we might explore my bed tonight, if you are okay with that.” The sparkle in his eyes told his mate just what he wanted to explore.

  She had never been in his room, let alone known where it was located in relation to hers. Blain and Natasha’s castle was so huge that it could be anywhere. Still, she wanted him to know she trusted him. “Sure, where exactly is your room?”

  “Right across the hall from yours.” He watched as her eyes went wide for a moment as she processed this information.

  “You’ve been right across the hall from me the entire time?”

  He nodded as he led her into the door across the hall from hers. This room was slightly larger than hers and had more of a masculine feel to it. The colors were a dark brown and light blue, but the only thing she really noticed was the huge four-post bed in the center of the room. It looked much larger than even a king-size bed. She suddenly realized why he wanted her to stay with him in this room tonight. The bed in her room looked to be a queen, and while it was plenty of room for her, bringing Dominic to her bed was a complete different story. She remembered worrying if he was going to roll off the bed onto the floor several times.

  She glanced up at him to find him watching her. “Nice bed,” she stated cheekily.

  “Yes, it is just a tad larger than the one in your room,” he returned.

  “Whatever will we do with all of this extra space?” she teased as she walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.

  He followed her over and sat down next to her. Picking up her hand, he started running his tongue over her pulse point, sucking lightly before slowly moving up her arm while continuing his ministrations. “I’m sure we will figure something out,” he murmured against her skin.

  By the time he reached her shoulder, she was ready to tear off her shirt and stick her breasts in his face. They were tingling, her nipples getting hard as little pebbles, and he hadn’t even touched them yet! He slowly moved up to her neck, still swirling his tongue along her skin. She reached up and buried her fingers into his hair as she tilted her head back for him.

  She never imagined being able to experience love like this. She assumed a long time ago that her life would be in peril as long as she lived. She always thought she wouldn’t be in any one place long enough to find love. Thankfully, fate had smiled down on her and rewarded her for not giving up.

  Now, her mate’s mouth moved up to her lips and she gladly turned her head a bit to be able to meet his mouth. She opened immediately, loving the way he lingered with his kisses, like he was exploring a cave each time he kissed her. Never rough, never in a hurry, he always considered their kisses to be just as important as the act of sex itself.

  Long, long moments later, after he had explored every nook and cranny in her mouth, he slowly started snaking his hand up under her shirt and around her back to flick her bra closure open. She was wreathing underneath him as he gently rolled and then pinched her nipples between his thumb and index finger.

  She sighed when he finally broke the kiss. Even though she needed the air, she wasn’t ready for him to stop. She found herself chasing after his lips with her own. She finally opened her eyes when she heard him chuckle.

  Suddenly looking down, she tried to remember climbing up in his lap and straddling him with her legs wrapped tightly around his middle. She certainly didn’t remember that move! But he wouldn’t let her have the time to ponder on it. In one move, he grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it up over her head. Her bra was just dangling on her shoulders, but that was soon landing in a heap on top of her shirt on the floor.

  He gave her no time to be self-conscious about being nude from the waist up, even though he remained fully clothed. He claimed her mouth again, just a bit mor
e aggressively than last time, his hands automatically going back on both breasts.

  When he broke the kiss this time, she took advantage. Before he could snuggle into her neck, she started to yank his shirt upwards. He helped her out by taking over as the shirt reached his chest. He flung it over on the floor a quick second later.

  While he finished taking off his shirt, she wasted no time moving off him in order to unbutton his jeans, then lower the zipper. She pushed both jeans and underwear down to his knees in one sweeping motion.

  His hands went to her hips, pulling her back down against his body, grinding against her for just a moment. Then he stepped back and picked her up, gently deposited her on the bed, and immediately went to work to get her bottom half as naked as the top half.

  He quickly removed her pants and stood next to the side of the bed, admiring her body. This small, but powerful, Omega Elf was all his. He hoped the love he had for her in his heart showed in his eyes.

  Reaching down, he picked up one foot and placed a tender kiss on the arch. Starting at the foot, he skated the tips of his fingertips up and down her leg until he could see her juices gathering. He sat her foot down, but bent her knee and spread her wide. He started his work on the other leg.

  He relished the womanly scent that was hitting his nose as he continued his torment on her. She began to squirm as he brought his caress around her knee and then skated up the inside of her leg. Her juices were leaking copiously and he had to have a taste. Bringing the leg down that he was tormenting, he bent her knee and opened her up.

  He knelt on the floor, dragging her to the edge of the bed. He swiped his tongue through her folds, scooping up her juices as he went. He loved the taste of her.

  Glancing up at her, he instructed, “Put your hands on those beautiful tits, baby. Just take your fingertip and run it all around your nipple, but leave the nipple itself alone so I can see it grow hard.”

  She looked at him for a moment in confusion and then quickly complied with his request. Both of her little hands came up to caress her breasts as she started lightly running her fingertips all over them. He watched her for a moment, betting that this was the first time she was getting to learn her body. It wasn’t taking her long to figure out what she liked, at least when it came to her breasts.

  He leaned down and swiped his tongue through her again and moaned as he swallowed her juices. He stuck his tongue in her hole as far as he could, wiggling it and stroking in and out. He could feel her inner walls trying to clutch onto his tongue. He chuckled. As she started bucking her hips, he removed his tongue but replaced it with two fingers, searching for that special spot. Finding it quickly, he brought his mouth around her little clit and sucked, lashing it with his tongue as his two fingers, buried deep inside her, rubbed over her sweet spot until she exploded. Her muscles clenched tightly around his fingers as she bucked wildly, her orgasm going on and on.

  He brought her back down slowly, gently removing his fingers as he lapped up her juices. He could still feel tiny tremors running through her body as he climbed up to the top of the bed. Reaching down, he pulled her up with him, holding her until the last of the tremors faded.

  When Meldamiriel finally came back down off the high her orgasm took her to, she found that she was draped across Dominic, his hand lightly caressing her back, and he was whispering that he loved her. What?!

  She sat up so fast that her head spun. “You do?” she asked innocently.

  Dominic cocked his head at her, while Ivormantis decided to join in on the conversation. ‘You big duffus! She doesn’t know we love her, because someone hasn’t told her before today.’

  He wasn’t going to let his dragon put him in a bad mood today. ‘Ivormantis, I’m ashamed of you. You know how important this is! Why haven’t you told her, yet?’

  He could see in his mind’s eye his dragon roll his eyes at him. Yes, his dragon rolled his eyes! ‘Smartass!’

  “Baby, I have loved you since the first time I saw you. I fell in love while you were still scared of me, so I kept it to myself, allowing you time to get to know me. Make no mistake, though, I do love you. And I’ll love you for the rest of my life,” he stopped there and looked into her eyes, trying to read her emotions. “Do you think there will come a day when you will feel the same for me, my little elf?”

  She threw herself at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. “Oh, Dominic, I do love you!” He could hear her start to get choked up and he gently rubbed her back. She laid her head on his shoulder. “I know I was afraid of you and your size at the beginning, and I’m sorry that I judged you. But you have shown me nothing but kindness, gentleness, love, and care. I love you, Dominic, and I don’t want to think of a day that we won’t be together.”

  It was his turn to wrap his arms around her. Something inside of him clicked into place, something that up until now he hadn’t realized. “Ah, baby, I promise you that I will protect you and take care of you always.”

  She smiled up at him. “I know you will, big guy. You and that beautiful dragon of yours.”

  “Speaking of him, I’m currently being called a duffus and he’s rolling his eyes at me for not professing my love to you sooner. I’m sorry if I left you wondering.”

  “Tell Ivormantis to cut you a little slack and that I think your timing was perfect.”

  ‘Ha, I win! She’s taking my side on this one!’

  ‘That’s only because you won’t let me out long enough to woo her over to my side!’ Ivormantis grumbled.

  “So, you can communicate with your dragon when in human form? How does that work?” Meldamiriel had watched her mate a moment ago get a bit of a faraway look in his eye and realized that she had seen him do that before on a few occasions.

  “Yes, we can communicate with each other in either form. Even when I shift, I am still there inside him, watching everything, in complete control of him should I need to be. When I am in human form…well, let’s just say he likes to give me a hard time.”

  He chuckled before bringing his hand around the back of her neck to move her head so he could kiss her. “I don’t want to talk about Ivormantis anymore, my love,” he whispered right before his lips met hers. As always, he started his kiss nice and gentle, barely brushing against her lips as he moved back and forth. He then lightly moved on to nibbling ever so gently on her plush lips. She opened on a sigh. She loved his gentleness, something she never would have expected from such a big man.

  Once his tongue was inside her mouth, he devoured her. He ran his tongue along every surface he could find, the sides of her mouth, the roof, her teeth, until he pulled away just enough to allow her little tongue to come out and duel with his.

  His hands swept up her sides, each gently taking the weight of a breast as he began to lightly massage them before lightly pinching her nipples. She was currently straddled on his leg, so he felt the gush of liquid pour from her when he pinched those cherry peaks.

  His dick felt her moisture leaking out onto his leg as well. It stood up nice and tall, just waiting for attention. She reached down and using only the tip of her finger, massaged in the drop of liquid that was sitting on top of his slit.

  Before he knew what she was up to, she had broken the kiss and in one quick move climbed off his leg and put her face down near his groin. His dick was shouting, “Oh, hell yeah!” as she placed her tongue at the bottom of his cock and licked him all the way up. When she reached the top, she took just the tip into her mouth. She started lightly sucking as her tongue lashed at his slit, trying to coax a bit more of his essence out of him.

  He gently placed his hand on the back of her head in order to get her to take more of his length into her mouth. What she was currently doing was both heaven and hell. He loved just having her mouth on him, but he was fast approaching a point where he needed his entire length covered by mouth or pussy, it didn’t really matter.

  As if reading his mind, she placed her lips around his shaft and sucked as much of his dick dow
n her throat as she could. He felt the tip touch the back of her throat and she started to choke. He quickly pulled back, but was surprised a quick moment later when she did the same thing, only this time he felt the head of his dick going down her throat with no problems. She sucked and licked his dick like she would a popsicle, knowing that this was something she could do for him. It was something that he enjoyed. Heaven help her, but she loved it when he put his mouth on her.

  Dominic watched her little head bob up and down as she continued to suck on his dick. All too soon he felt that familiar ache in his balls hit and a tingling sensation going down his spine, warning him he was about to explode in her mouth. He glanced down to where she was happily sucking on him. I can’t do that to her. She’s not quite ready for that, yet.

  He pulled out of her mouth and quickly flipped her over so she was on her stomach. He reached under her hips and brought them upwards, leaving her rear end sticking straight up in the air and her pussy wide open for his enjoyment.

  Dominic lined up his dick with her hole and entered her completely. Once he bottomed out, he took a moment to allow her time to adjust, stroking his hand up and down her back.

  “Oh, Dominic, I feel even fuller this way. Can we move a little?” She squirmed as she attempted to get even closer to him.

  He chuckled, “Are you ready, baby?”

  Pulling back, he left only the head of his dick inside of her. He was covered in her juices and the erotic sight of that sent him pushing all the way back in. He pulled her hips to where he needed them and then used them to hang onto as he began to pump in and out of her.

  He was just hanging on by a thread, ready to explode, when he reached around and flicked her clit a few times. Her inner muscles seemed to draw him in deeper and they both exploded at the same time, him roaring and her shouting out their orgasms.

  Dominic was so weak after his release it was all he could do to roll them both over. Still buried inside of her, he relished the gentle pulse that her pussy made each time she climaxed. He brought his head up to look over her shoulder, wanting to see her face. What greeted him was a worn-out elf that had fallen asleep. He chuckled to himself. This had been the second time he wore her out so bad she had fallen into a deep sleep after they made love.
