Chapter 4 - Addelynn

I was snuggled up against Zephyr with my head on his chest while my leg was thrown over his. One of his hands rubbed my back as the other caressed my thigh. I sighed in contentment, wrapping my arm around his neck as I snuggled into him.

"What caused these scars on your back?" He asked as he traced them.

"My birth mother died giving birth to me and my brother Adam, and my father took us both to his home, where he lived with his wife and stepson. My brother Adam died of cancer when we were twelve, and that's when my father began beating me," I explained, "In addition to beating me, my stepmother liked burning me with her cigarettes as her older son touched me in ways only a lover should. I ran away when I was fifteen and met Shawn shortly after. Shawn and I sang together to earn money, then we met Nicky and Olly and formed a band together, then made our way to California, where we bought the bar, and Shawn got into drugs. I spent the last year focusing on caring for the bar we owned. That's the story of my dramatic childhood,"

Zephyr growled, pulling me closer as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

I looked up into his beautiful face, tracing his jaw with my finger. He closed his eyes with a content sigh, leaning in to kiss my forehead.

"I think you are the most beautiful man I have ever seen," I told him, straddling his waist.

"Oh really?" he said in a purr, sitting up to cup my face in his hands. "Nothing in this world compares to your beauty."

He leaned in for a sweet, tender kiss, parting my lips with his tongue as he pulled me in for a deeper kiss.

I ran my hands over his chiseled body, enjoying the feel of his smooth skin.

We took our time touching and making out before he finally rolled me onto my back. He laced our fingers together as he slowly slid inside me.

My whole body came alive as he made love to me. His hypnotic blue eyes sank into my soul as he moved over me, making me feel something I didn't know I could ever feel again.

Tears filled my eyes as this feeling tore into me. How could I love someone so much? Particularly when I have only known him for a day, barely even twenty-four hours.

It was about an hour later when I was carried into his bathroom. I expected his tub to be obsidian like Khalid's, but he was made of transparent quartz that filled from a waterfall that flowed from the ceiling.

After a good wash, Zephyr took me to the courtyard for dinner in the gazebo. I wished all my mates were here, but I understood that I needed to bond with Zephyr like I already have with Aeden. So I gave Zephyr my undivided attention.

We walked through the gardens, discussing our pasts and enjoying each other's company.

"Hey, Zeph"

"Yes, psihi mou," he replies, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Will you shift for me? I want to see your dragon up close," I said, looking into his icy blue eyes.

Zephyr purred, cupping my head as he leaned in for a kiss, then pulled away to say, "Of course."

He found a larger area, then stripped out of his breeches.

I watched as white iridescent scales spread over his body.

His face elongated as his body stretched while his hands and feet became claws. It only took a few minutes, and now his magnificent dragon stood before me.

Zephyr purred as I ran my hands over his scale-covered face. He was about five hands tall but was as long as two school buses with a tail that flared out at the tip like a bird.

The feathers ran along the top of his head, over his body, and down his tail. I was shocked at how soft they were when I reached out to touch them, and I smiled as I rubbed my face in the softness of his wings.

Zephyr purred, wrapped his tail around me like a snake, then rubbed his head against me like a cat.

The dragon disappeared, and a very horny Zephyr lifted me into his arms, then slammed me against the castle wall as he dove in for a hungry kiss.

"Oooh," I moaned as he kissed my sensitive neck. After lifting my skirt, he thrust into me, not holding back as the rough wall dug into my back. He growled, pupils blown wide as he impaled me repeatedly.

"Oh, my God!" I moaned as I came hard. His claws dug into my ass, and white scales spread over him as he lost control.

With one more hard thrust, Zephyr explodes inside me with a ferocious growl, throwing his head back in ecstasy as he cums.

He buried his face into the crook of my neck, breathing heavily as he held me close.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, snuggling into the crook. One of his hands cups the back of my head while the other is wrapped around my waist.

After sucking in a deep breath, he loosens his hold to place a sweet kiss on my forehead and lips.

"I'm sorry if I was too rough. The feel of your hands on my wings made me lose control," Zephyr explained.

I smiled up at him, pressing my lips to his, then pulled away to say, "I liked it. It's hot as hell when I can make a fucking dragon king lose control, it does wonders to a girl's ego."

Zephyr chuckles, snuggling into my neck.

"The Goddess couldn't have picked a better woman for me; I promise to love you for the rest of eternity, even after I have been sent to the afterlife."

I sniffled, then hugged him close, "I love you too, Zephyr."

He pulled away, then released his wings with a loud whoosh. He only has two wings in this form as he flies into the sky, landing on the balcony outside his room. With his white feathered wings, he looked so much like an angel. I was the luckiest woman in the world to share part of my soul with this breathtaking man.

Zephyr carried me into his room, crawled into the bed, and fell asleep with his arms wrapped around me from behind.
