Need clawed through my veins, searing me with unrelenting fire.
Fuck.
I'd barely managed to leave Mist at the temple as it was, knowing she'd be questioning Leto. He'd failed to show yesterday when offered the opportunity. Did he suspect a trap? Was she safe?
By the Abyss, why did my heat have to hit now? Like the impact of a supernova, the mating instinct refused to be denied. Circling in the sky above, I couldn't make myself leave. Instead, I fought to not look at her, to stay in control, stay—
Movement caught my eye. Long midnight hair flowed behind a curvaceous female as she ran into the maze.
Anna.
Before I could think past the inferno in my blood, I'd plummeted, shifting from my dragon form to humanoid as I landed on the dark slate tile of the temple's maze. Attention behind her with her head turned as she fled forward, Anna rounded a hedge and plowed into me, surrounding me in her fragrance. Her weight as a leaf on the wind to my strength, I caught her when her knees buckled.
Kusarikku raced around the corner.
Possessive rage surged and I growled at the offensive minotaur. Whether he knew or not, he was dead.
Screeching to a halt, he stammered, "Deepest apologies, my prince. I'd never... I didn't... I had no idea you'd claimed this one."
I curled a lip at him, controlling my snarled reply for her sake, controlling the instinct to shift and chomp the interloper. The last thing I wanted was to scare Anna. Already her breath fluttered against my chest in uneven pants.
"Pazuzu."
The murmur was so quiet, I wasn't sure if she knew she'd said my name out loud. But I'd heard it. As I had every time she'd said my name with the air carrying her words to me, stroking me like a lover's caress.
Still, I fought to not succumb to my innate power, to not take her mind the way I'd craved her lush body these last six months. This had to be her choice. "Do you enjoy being chased? Should I leave you to Kusarikku's attentions?" I asked, forcing the thorny words past my lips as they tore at my instincts.
She blinked up at me for a long moment before blurting, "No! Please, Lord Pazuzu, please don't."
Her little fingers clung to my scaled chest, each one a brand holding me immobile, holding me to her will. By Tiamat, I loved the sound of my name on her lips, but did she know the power it gave me over her? Unable to resist touching her further, I shifted my hands from her upper arms to her back, pressing her against me and revelling in the feel of her soft curves. As lovely and as stirring as I'd remembered. "You know my name and aren't afraid to invoke it?"
She held my gaze, the fearless rabbit standing up to the snarling predator. "No, my lord Pazuzu."
I released my control and her mind opened to me—the most delicate of flowers that I stroked with care. "So you knew saying my name thrice gives me access to your mind? What interesting ideas lurk in this pretty little head, Anna?"
"I... what?"
A confused tumble of memories and thoughts surrounded me, yet her fantasies of me stood out like the flaring of volcanic caldera through the river of her thoughts. She hadn't realized her 'Paz' was me, not yet. But such glorious fantasies she'd had of my current forms. My cocks, already aching with primal need, hardened further and the lower escaped my seam to press against the feeble restraining leather of my pants.
As much as I desired her, I wasn't quite ready to reveal the truth. Would she come to me of her own accord, without being certain of the pleasure I'd given her previously?
"You are absolutely delightful, little one, but consent is required for the games I play. Did Claw purchase you in the slave market, or did you make a deal with Nabu?" There was no slave market on Muspelheim. Every intelligent creature had a choice and was free to break their contract if they were willing to deal with the consequences. Yet some human acolytes didn't truly grasp our culture, even as they'd finally recognized the truth of survival of the fittest in their science.
Her eyes lost their dazed focus and she flinched, looking away as spots of colour appeared on her cheeks. "I'm not a slave. I have a demon deal with Nabu."
Despite her words, her thoughts revealed her embarrassment. The debt had been her parents' poor decision-making, not hers. She bore no fault for inheriting it or taking the opportunity to solve her dilemma. It was I who'd used that debt to maneuver her into the deal being her best option.
Still, I wanted to be her choice, not just her best option.
I wrapped my wings behind her, gripping her chin and tilting her to meet my gaze. "You made the deal of your own free will? If sex is not to your liking, there are other ways to serve." The idea that she might not want me had the words erupting in a growl.
She bit her lip, then blurted, "No, I like sex."
And her mind flashed with a fantasy of being bound, arms and legs splayed as I fucked her with a cock in her tight cunt and another in her ass, screaming her orgasm. The details blurred as she hadn't seen both my cocks, just that of lesser dragons like the Mushushshu and the Samum when they'd visited the temple. But not her. Never her. Claw knew not to allow any of the dragons into her patron options. He'd kept them from her, kept me from having to kill them for touching her.
Still, a roar built in my throat, cocks throbbing as I barely held myself in check, held myself back from enacting that fantasy this very second.
The best I could manage was a growled, "Mmm... so I see."
"Shit. Right. Mind-reading." Her chagrined thoughts came through as if spoken aloud and if I hadn't been so fiercely aroused with instinct riding me hard, I might have laughed.
"Indeed. But as delightful as your fantasies are, they don't equate to consent."
Another erotic flash of her thoughts seared my restraint.
As I fought to not roar a challenge, I allowed my thumb to stroke her soft cheek. "My heat is upon me. I'd like to spend it with my cocks buried in your soft body."
Guided by her unspoken desires, I teased that sensuous lower lip, sliding inside the way my cock ached to. When she whimpered and wrapped her lips around it to suck, I squeezed the curve of her backside with my other hand, almost shaking with the raging inferno inside me.
By the Abyss, I needed her to answer.
"I'll chain you, claim you, tease you, and make you beg. Ravage every inch. Fuck every orifice. When you pass out, I'll wake you to start again. You'll gag on one cock while I pound your curvy ass with the other, or plunder your ass and wet, little cunt together, until my cum coats your flesh and my scent brands you as mine. Your pleasure will belong to me. If you crave what I'm offering, then agree and give me your safe word. Speak it out loud, little human," I growled. At my limit, I withdrew my thumb from her soft, wet mouth.
"Doesn't..." She licked her lips. Not biting it, not plundering her had my pulse thundering in my veins as she continued to speak. "Doesn't your heat last at least a week? As you've pointed out, I'm human, not immortal. I don't know that I can keep up with your needs."
Her thoughts spoke of her desire and her little body shuddered against me, bringing a smile to my lips, but I still needed to hear her consent out loud, not just for sex, but to bind her to me in a blood-mating bond that would ensure her fertility and grant her some of my power.
With my seidhr flaring around me, filling my eyes, I growled, "If you agree, I'll bind you to me for the duration. You'll be mine, but the bond will also provide the resilience of dragon-kind." Moving my fingers from her chin to silken ebony locks at her nape, I held her in place. "All you have to do is give me your safe word, Anna."
"Huckleberry," she squeaked.
Shifting my grip to her ass, I lifted her, pleased when she wrapped her legs around my waist. As I remembered, her mouth was sweet as I took possession, reminding her how to stroke our tongues together in the same dance I'd be playing with the rest of her succulent body. It didn't require thought to lift into the sky to guide us back to the palace.
"Is he taking me to his mountain palace?"
"Yes," I said to her silent question.
She writhed in my hold, teasing my cocks with her wet heat.
"Impatient, are we? Delayed gratification has its benefits, little Anna." Unable to keep my fangs from extending, I left her mouth and nipped a line from jaw to neck, drawing a whimper as my hand delved between her thighs to find her soaked. "So wet and needy already. Fuck, you're a delightful morsel."
Revelling in her response, I located that rough patch at the front wall of her cunt, stroking over it as my thumb circled her clit, bringing her to the edge so she would feel nothing but pleasure at my bite and injection of hormones. The fiery taste of its potent cocktail filled my mouth as it dripped from my fangs. Seductive words tumbled from my thoughts to hers as I battled the instinct to simply take and conquer, so close to a goal I'd waited thousands of years to achieve.
"Please, Lord Pazuzu."
Her moaned plea and quivering cunt shattered the last of my restraint. She was ready and I could wait no longer. Striking fast, I sank my upper and lower fangs into her tender neck, injecting the mating fluid that would trigger her ovulation, and together with my blood, grant her power and build on the changes in her genetic structure. Held to me by my tail and arm under her thigh, she bucked on my fingers, soaking my abdomen and leather pants as she climaxed. With a flick of a talon against my thumb, I shifted the hand at her nape and slid the bleeding digit into her mouth as I continued to pump the cocktail into her.
She was glorious in her orgasm, like a wild thing in my arms. As her peaked pleasure waned, I withdrew my fangs and licked the punctures closed with healing saliva. Rich copper on my tongue, her heritage sang to me, and the note of our bond came through increasing the ache in my groin. Between the White Haoma and changes wrought within her by my mating bite and blood, she was finally able to safely take my cocks exactly as she'd fantasized. And, as I had, I admitted to myself. Not quite the full binding instinct demanded, but close... so very close. I brought us to a gentle landing on the terrace outside my bedroom and strode through the shimmering protection ward as I removed my thumb and swiped a tongue over the small wound.
After unwinding her arms from my neck, I bound them in the soft leather cuffs at the posts on the foot of my bed, taking care that it would keep her in place without pinching. Despite her climax, excited desire filled her thoughts as I seated her on the mattress, then took in her fidgeting form and smiled.
With a flick of my fingers, I tore the thin silk shift from her body. "You won't be needing that, and with the bond now in place to protect your fragile form, I'm ravenous," I growled as I lifted her thighs to my shoulders and inhaled the glorious scent of warm, willing woman and her unique hints of pineapple that held more spice to it now. My mouth watered and I lowered my face to her cunt.
The first taste exploded over my tongue, chasing the flavour of her blood and my venom with sweet arousal. The leather of my pants shredded as my cocks burst free, throbbing to take my mate, but I feasted on her folds, lapping her from ass to clit, then focusing on the little nubbin until she screamed her pleasure, flooding my face with her orgasm.
As she panted, I chuckled and praised her taste, despite the desire riding me with merciless fury. Lowering her hips, I dragged the head of my primary cock through her soaked folds, groaning at the heat and wetness so close.
"Gods, he is large. Wider than Kusarikku."
Her thought and sudden tension had my teeth grinding. I was going to enjoy killing that damned minotaur, even if he'd been a necessary evil to help my little Anna adapt. I'd allow none to live who'd tasted what was mine.
"Relax, little one," I growled, trying to soften my voice, to not overwhelm her with my need.
She whimpered as I worked the tip inside her tight channel, still so small despite the six months in the temple.
"You aren't entirely human now. You can take my primary cock in this wet, little cunt." I winked as I reassured her. She'd taken the narrower girth of my prehensile cock when I'd posed as a human, hiding its length and the thicker cock above it inside my body. But I knew I'd now fit without damaging her. "It only feels like it's splitting you in half." With short, stabbing thrusts I forced myself deeper into her slick heat, pushing against her walls until she'd taken my entire length.
Glorious warmth surrounded me, and fuck, I wanted to move, but she panted, rigid, pulsing around me as I circled her clit with my thumb.
Still, she remained tense, muscles clenched with her eyes closed and teeth gritted.
Very well, then, I'd distract her from her cunt wrapped so tightly around me. Uncoiling my prehensile cock, I circled around the temptation of her ass—she wasn't ready for that yet—and rose around her body, up between her full breasts with their peaked nipples and nudged her lips. When she opened her eyes, mouth widening in surprise, I plunged into the warm, wet cavern.
Despite her squeak, she sucked my cock deep and gripping her hair, I fucked as far into her throat as I dared. When her jaw relaxed, tongue working me, I couldn't help but praise her.
"Good girl."
Plunging in and out of her mouth had me growling, and when her hips shifted restlessly, relaxing and squeezing around me, I began to fuck both, hissing in pleasure.
"Fuck, Anna, you've got a tight little cunt." One hand tangled in her hair, the other gripping her ass, I held her in place as I slowly drew out, only to plunge back in as her moans serenaded me. I'd waited eons to be inside my mate's fertile little body and I wasn't giving it up any time soon.
Yet fiery heat-driven instincts demanded I cum and fill my female with seed.
Faster and harder, I plundered her mouth faster. The coiling inferno expanded in my abdomen, my internal testicles contracting to pump cum up the long length and spurt into her mouth. The excess poured from her lips, dripping off her chin, as my hips continued to thrust in a slow grind.
The orgasm had relieved some of the pressure, but instinct refused to be ignored. I wouldn't find any respite until both cocks emptied the building seed within me at once.
Withdrawing from her mouth with a groan, I brought her lips to mine and tasted my possession on her tongue. Over and over, our mouths mated as I thrust inside her quivering cunt. My fingers found a tight nipple, tugging and pinching the way I'd learned she liked when I'd seduced her on Earth.
Her trembling increased and an orgasm shook her. As she spasmed around my cock, I prepared her ass, feeling the tight ring open and close as the climax rocked her and I pushed more slippery plant extract inside her.
The last of the tremors left her panting, limp in my arms as I rocked into her, nibbling along her neck and tension gone from her body. She was perfectly primed and I lined my prehensile cock up with the slippery pucker.
Arching her spine with my fingers yanking her hair, I closed my teeth over a peaked nipple and thrust deep into her ass.
"Fuck," she shrieked and I couldn't hold back my chuckle as I bit down harder, then moved to her other breast to do the same.
"Oh my gods," she moaned, writhing as I thrust deeper and her thoughts turned to dominance, submission, and possession.
I wrapped my tail to hold her in place, both cocks thrusting into the warm, tight clasp of her body. It freed my other hand to grip the front of her throat with my other tight in her hair and in a flash of memory, she remembered. She remembered the first time I'd taken her like this on Earth, not with both cocks of course, but with this control, this dominance, this possession.
Mine.
Savage need surged and I pounded into her body, taking her lips with equal demand. She was mine. My mate. The slapping of flesh coming together with wet impact echoed in the room. Her moans a symphony of accompaniment. Her body writhed in my grip, waves of orgasm shaking her.
Yet the fire burned hotter within me. The pressure built. Each thrust grew harder and faster.
"Eyes on me, Anna. I want to hear it," I growled.
Her golden eyes blinked, pupils large.
"Say it, Anna. Who do you belong to?" Seidhr washed over my eyes, flowed from my wings, circling around us.
She shook her head and I snarled, "Say it, Inanna! Now!"
"You, Pazuzu. I belong to you," she whispered with a gasp.
Everything drew into a single point for a long moment, silence ringing in my ears. In the next, a roar erupted from my throat. Violent contractions within me shot seed erupting from my cocks, more and more and more. So much she couldn't contain the forceful spurts and it sprayed from our joined bodies in a sticky, foaming gush. A dragon's worth—it was clear my other form had contributed to the volume despite my current shape. A heat-driven instinctive attempt to propagate the species.
Anna had climaxed again and had fainted in my arms, not hearing my chuckles as I viewed our dripping bodies.
