Yet I also realized that Vadriq was swelling, my teeth spread as wide as they could go. I spat him out before he trapped my jaw open and took the rest of his load across my neck even as he swallowed Iyadre down.
Nariti had come to rest beside my head, nestling my hair as Eskal continued to exhaust himself. Iyadre took Vadriq to the side, the two of them curling up near us but not as close as Nariti was.
Eskal met my gaze and narrowed his eyes, slamming me back into the ground, his tongue lashing his lips and slick with my juices. I shivered at the sight and glared right back at him. He was going to lose and he knew it. He didn't like it.
And that made it good enough for me.
He growled as he fucked me, raw and feral in every sense of the word. I fought my way back down from climax by inches, my head tipping back as I looked away. Watching him was too much. Everything was on fire, now that I had time to concentrate on myself, and I didn't know how much longer I could wait.
"Give in. I can feel you tightening, squirming, dying for the chance to orgasm," he whispered.
I turned my head away from him, fighting the urge to draw my knees together and flop around like a fucking fish. Every thrust forced me closer and there was no way to slow it this time. I reached up, grabbed his neck, and yanked him into a kiss just so that he wouldn't get the pleasure of hearing me cry out.
He wrenched away and pinned my shoulders, claws biting into my skin. I gasped, drove my heels into his back, and saw stars as I came, the sudden breath coming out in an absolute tirade of curses.
And above me, forever mocking, I heard a quiet, breathless laugh.
Then I felt him fill me as no other ever had. The spirals swelled, tight against my tender insides, and I bucked back against him, reaching down to stroke my own clit. He took that hand in his, pulled it over my head, and pressed it into the stone. His tongue did the job for me, dancing over that sensitive nub until I hit a second, higher climax that before that left me breathless.
I'd never had someone like that.
But then, I'd really never had something like that, either. So many men, all waiting and willing for me. I crashed back to ground and tried to remember my own damn name.
Eskal couldn’t pull himself free of me, but he wrapped his arms around my back and drew me to his chest. The rest of the flight took up positions around us. I sighed and nestled against them all in turn. "Why does this happen?"
My voice sounded a thousand miles away, as if I were drunk. Eskal nipped my neck. "Why does what happen?"
"This locking thing?"
Iyadre chimed in. "Tying, for us. It's a biological thing from times before civilization took root in the shifter community. Alphas would line up, like dogs after a bitch in heat, to mate with an omega. Tying, or knotting, locks the omega to the alpha. It gives his genetic material time to take a swim."
"Can humans even do that?" I asked, looking between the four of them. Was I going to need to worry about birth control or somehow popping out eggs when we were hiding with a fae queen?
Iyadre shook his head sleepily. "No. You'd have to be a dragon and an omega to breed true. I think. But it hardly matters. If you needed a nest, you would have one."
"While I appreciate the offer, we still have those other eggs to hatch," I said, trying not to pass out myself.
I'd had sex before, but nothing like that. The sun was high overhead, suggesting that we'd been at it for hours. It sure didn't feel like it'd been that long, not that I was complaining, but wow. We were going to have to plan for events like this.
Eskal placed his head on my chest, uncaring that his chin was right beside a creamy mess. "We rest. We wash. And then we tackle the problem of the eggs. Sleep, my flight. We're safe."
And so, we slept.
