As soon as his place was in sight, my heart began pounding with excitement and, in a strange way, I could sense that the dragon beneath me was doing everything it could to get us back as quickly as possible.

I could hear a loud thump the moment its four legs hit the ground. I got off his back and took a few steps back to let Aiden shift. Watching him go back to his human form was fascinating, but not as hypnotizing as having his Apollon-like body on display. The sight of him was enough to get my panties soaking wet but it was the hard-on that he was sporting that made me swallow hard. The resolve on his face only fueled my lust further.

In a few quick strides, he reached me and hoisted me up around his waist. My legs intuitively wrapped themselves around his body, desperate for any contact with his skin but my damn clothes were getting in our way. He must have read my thoughts because he carried me to the inside of the castle without wasting any time. As soon as we got past the front door, I threw the backpack on the floor and kicked off my shoes before I desperately started removing the endless layers of clothes that I had on. Luckily, Aiden was supporting me with his arms so that I could focus on getting undressed instead of trying not to fall.

"Someone is eager," he chuckled while I pulled my jumper over my head.

"Would you prefer that I go slowly instead?" I asked with mischief in my voice, removing my top painfully slowly.

He growled and next thing I knew I found myself pressed against the wall in his hallway. By now my bra was the only thing that I still had on from the waist up.

"Are you sure about this, Riley?" Aiden looked at me as he gave me one last opportunity to back out. "Because if you say yes now, I will not stop until we are both utterly spent."

The only answer I could give him was to wrap my hands around the back of his head and pull him in for a kiss. Seconds later, our kissing became rougher, more desperate, more demanding. Moans and breath huffs were the only sounds that could be heard while we pulled at each other. My hands had a mind of their own as they explored every inch of his body.

Aiden took a few steps down the corridor and I found myself propped up on a console table in the hallway. His now free hands immediately reached for my breasts, liberating them by pulling down the cups of my bra. My nipples hardened on cue the moment that the cool air caressed them. Aiden pulled away from our kiss and looked at me as if he was trying to take a mental photograph of me and the moment. I felt his index finger on my cheek before he leisurely started running it down my face, then my neck and my chest. It was like he was tracing a secret path along my body. I felt tingles on my skin wherever his finger went.

I thought that he was going to play with my nipples, giving them some much-needed relief, he continued his torturous trail along my stomach before he finally reached the waistline of my jeans. I held my breath in anticipation of his next move. He didn't disappoint as he undid them and gently lifted me to pull them off my legs. My core was aching for his touch.

Aiden looked straight into my eyes before he lunged for my neck, expertly kissing all the spots that made my legs go weak as if he had a map of my body's weaknesses. His hand was now playing with my pussy through the fabric of my panties, eliciting loud panting on my side. In my distraction with what his hand was doing, I didn't even realise when his mouth had clamped around my nipple- not until he bit on it and I let out a cry of pleasure.

He must have taken mercy on me because he finally hooked a finger underneath my panties to slide them to the side, granting him full access to my core. The moment that happened, Aiden immediately moved his mouth in that direction, leaving burning kisses on my body along the way. When he kissed my clit, my body erupted in goosebumps.

"Aiden..." His name came out as a plea from my lips.

I buckled my hips as he began to lick and nibble on my clit. I felt two fingers plunge into my pussy, exploring the depths of my core, thrusting in and out of me.

"So wet for me, Riley, so eager. You don't even have a clue what that does to me." I looked down between my moans and I saw the now-familiar yellow colour flash in his eyes, his dragon clearly also content with what we were up to.

I clenched the walls of my pussy as I felt my orgasm near. Aiden replaced his tongue with a thumb, while the former began thrusting in and out of my pussy. He tongue fucked me mercilessly while the circling motions of his thumb over my clit finally pushed me over the edge.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh," I screamed, tangling my fingers in his hair, his head nested between my legs. "That was-"

"The warm-up," Aiden smirked as he licked my glistening juices off his lips. "I'm the three courses kind of host, remember?" He winked and scooped me in his arms.

I was starting to get the feeling that Aiden would constantly carry me around if it was up to him, although I had to admit that I couldn't even protest on this occasion as my legs felt a bit weak to walk, given the high that I was still coming down off.

As he sat down on a huge corner sofa with me still in his arms, I realised that he had brought us to the living room.

"I am shocked, Mr Hayes, I thought we would find ourselves in the bedroom," I teased him.

"You bring out the spontaneity in me, Ms Moreau. Plus, I promised you a fun date and that applies to all parts of it. Not to mention that I am too impatient to make it to the bedroom," he explained, kissing my shoulder.

Tonight had certainly been fun, exciting, and just damn perfect. But there was some other fun that I know had in mind.

I stood up in front of Aiden, which clearly confused him, but his confusion was gone the moment I dropped to my knees between his legs.

"No, Riley- tonight is about you. I promised you constant pleasure." He was gently trying to get me to get up but I was having none of it.

My mind had already set at the sight of the stiff cock that was in front of me. A pearly drop sat right there on the tip and I wanted nothing more than to lick it off.

"So let me do this then. This is my pleasure- I want to taste you, to feel you in my mouth. I want to make you feel good like you did to me moments ago."

He didn't look sold on the idea- his furrowed eyebrows gave him away.

"Come on, Aiden- are you going to deny your mate this pleasure?" I cocked an eyebrow.

Aiden cupped my face with one hand and gave me a soft smile. "When it comes to you, my beautiful mate, I cannot deny you anything."

His permission to go ahead with my plan made feel giddy like a first-time lover whose secret fantasy had just been granted. I got on all fours between his legs and placed a featherlight kiss on Aiden's inner thigh, making him shiver under my touch before I did the same to the other one. I could feel how much every simple move on my side affected him, especially as I was leaving a trail of kisses the further up his thigh that I went.

When I finally reached his crotch, I could see that the pre-cum was oozing from the tip of his stiff cock but I opted to massage and kiss his balls first instead. The moment that my mouth touched them, I heard a moan of pleasure leave Aiden's lips which turned me on even more. Many people thought that giving a blow job was about submitting but there was nothing more intoxicating and powerful than owning and controlling the pleasure of your partner and right now, I was the one who controlled Aiden's pleasure. I gently sucked and licked his balls before I took them in my mouth, eliciting further moans from him.

"Fuck, Riley, that mouth of yours is incredible and that's only with my balls. I can't wait to have my cook inside it. And the smell of your arousal, knowing that blowing me is turning you on this much....fuck, that's making me lose my mind," Aiden said in a panting voice.

I let go of his balls and traced his shaft with my tongue all the way to his tip. I kissed the head, licking the pre-cum off it in the process. The salty taste on my tongue made me thirsty for more, making me lick my lips for any remaining traces. His pleasure still in my mind, I moved my tongue to the underside of his head, gently flicking on the frenulum with my tip- back and forth, up and down, slowly creeping my lips over his head and then backing off. His dick was throbbing in anticipation, begging me to take it in my mouth.

"Come up on the sofa, Riley- I want to be able to touch you," he whispered with a strained voice.

I liked the position that I was in- it made me feel sexy and dangerous- but the idea of having him touch me was too tantalizing to refuse.

As soon as I settled on the side of Aiden on all fours again, I lunged straight for his dick, eagerly taking it in my mouth. He grunted as my lips slid down along his impressive length, wrapping his hands in my hair. I stroked the base of his cock as I bobbed up and down, trying to take him all in.

Suddenly I felt his warm hand on my arse, caressing and groping my cheeks before it slid further down between my legs. He was gliding his fingers between my folds, plunging two fingers in my pussy every now and then. His teasing was working its magic on me as I found myself moaning with his cock in my mouth, which in turn made him buckle his hips in pleasure. Meanwhile, I was pushing against his fingers every time that they slipped inside my core.

"Oh Goddess, you will be the end of me, Riley! Fuck - this feels amazing."

The closer he was getting to his release, the more and the faster he started thrusting his finger inside of me, while he guided my head with his other hand. By now we were both moaning, panting and grunting, but I was determined to make him come first. I let go of his shaft and took him all in until his tip hit the back of my throat. My eyes watered as my gag reflex kicked in, the contractions and spasms pushing Aiden over the edge as he fucked my throat. As he came deep inside me, he continued to finger fuck me ferociously, bringing about my own orgasm.

I released a muffled moan before I found myself pulled off his cock. Aiden guided me to straddle him, kissing my breasts before he looked up and stroked my face. I gazed into his eyes and all I could see was adoration.

"That was incredible. You are incredible! I don't know what I have done to deserve such a phenomenal mate but I promise to never take you for granted, love." His words made my whole body heat up again. Aiden pulled me in for a long kiss, our tongues exploring each other. "And I will start making good on my promise already now," he said as he pulled away. "I promised you pleasure, mate, so pleasure you will get."

As if on cue, I felt his hard-on press against my arse. Damn shifters and their recovery abilities, although I was not complaining about this one.

Aiden lifted me gently and then lowered me on his rigid cock. The sensation of having him inside me, filling me up, was incredible. It was like we were made for each other, a perfect match. Just like it had felt with Rafe. His hands were desperately running over every inch of me as our bodies were rocking in sync, while I ran my fingertips over the intricate tattoos on his arms and the side of his ribs.

He pulled me closer towards him until our chests were pressing together, allowing him to nuzzle my neck. I ran my hands through his hair, relishing the intimacy of the moment. A desperate urge to kiss me took over me. I stared into his eyes before I leaned in to claim him his lips. His hands were kneading my breast as we kissed with desperation as if we had been waiting for this moment forever. Aiden pulled away and cupped my cheek, smiling as he looked at me. I couldn't help but smile back before we kissed again.

Our breathing was becoming more laboured with every thrust of our bodies. My skin felt so sensitive that every touch from Aiden's side was bringing on a new outbreak of goosebumps. I felt my body tremble and my nipples harden as I was closing in on my orgasm. Two loud cries of pleasure rocked the empty castle when we both came at the same time, Aiden's hot seed spilling inside me.

Satisfied, buzzing and exhausted, I looked at the gorgeous man in front of me who had given me one of the most incredible nights of my life. "Take me to bed, Aiden," I said with a soft smile, knowing that staying over tonight was kind of a big thing for us.

"Of course, my beautiful mate." His face was beaming as he took me in his arms and carried me to his bedroom.

I rested my head against his warm, muscly body. I felt protected, cared for, loved, making me let go of my guard- at least for tonight, maybe beyond. Is this how I would always feel if I embraced my bond with Aiden? My mate. My wonderful, incredibly hot dragon.

The tiredness was getting to me by now, so I turned my head and gave Aiden a soft kiss on his chest, given that it was the only part of his body that I could reach right now.

"Good night, mate," I whispered and closed my eyes, sleep finally taking over.
