Page 73 of Fated Obsessions

I licked my lips as this inkling started in the back of my mind. There were plenty of females in the Pit, yet something was prickling in my subconscious, this realization. “Y-You saw her outside? In the fields?”

Ryezan nodded once.

“And this was recently… when you saw her in the fields?”

He inclined his head in agreement.

“W-What does she look like?” I knew who she was without him having to describe her. Because if he saw her out in the field, there were only a handful of females who did the hard labor.

I kept looking at Ryezan, my head cocked to the side as I looked around Azar’s side. But I didn’t dare move out from the protection of my dragon’s body. I wasn’t a fool.

“What does she look like?” I asked again, whispering.

I could see Ryezan’s face soften, looked into his icy-blue eyes and knew he was thinking about his mate. He closed his eyes and exhaled, that familiar purring I heard from Azar so many times now coming from Ryezan. It was obvious that when he thought of his female, he couldn’t help the happiness and pleasure that came over him.

“She is… stunning. Absolutely perfect in every way imaginable.” He opened his eyes then, and even from this distance I could see his pupils dilating even more. “Her hair is as dark as night, her face so feminine, fragile. I fear if I’m not careful, I could harm her just by placing my hand on her pale skin.” His purring increased, and I practically sensed Azar’s dragon rising. “And her eyes… as green as the Bakari Sea.”

Oh.No.I knew who he was speaking of before he described her, but even so, now knowing it was Tilly had shock settling into me. She was the only one with green eyes and black hair in the Pit.

And then Ryezan turned his attention right to me and looked me in the eye.

“You do not look at my mate,” Azar said with barely restrained rage.

“Your female… I’ve seen your mate with mine. I need to know more about my female. I need your mate to tell me everything.”

Apparently that was the breaking point for Azar. Ryezan’s demands were met with fury. Azar launched himself at the otherdragon, but at the last second Ryezan shifted into his beast form, took flight, and hovered in the air for a suspended moment as he stared between Azar and me.

I wrapped my arms around my waist, unsure if there was going to be another battle but afraid this could very well be the one that took Azar from me.

But it was clear Ryezan was just as possessive of his mate as Azar was with me, which meant he wouldn’t give up. He wouldn’t give Tilly up.

The only saving grace of this whole situation was the fact that Ryezan didn’t seem to want Tilly to be afraid of him. But before I could think any more of it, before I could think of how the situation had gotten so frighteningly worse, Ryezan was leaving, his giant black wings like shadows in the sky.

Only when we couldn’t see Ryezan anymore did Azar come back to me. He wrapped me in his arms, my chest to his, my head resting just below his pectoral muscles.

“You know this female he speaks of?” Azar’s voice was deep but low. He kept me close and ran his hand up and down my back in a soothing manner.

I nodded but then cleared my throat. “Yes. She’s the only person in the Pit I really care about. I’m sure she’s so worried about what happened to me,” I whispered.

Azar tightened his arms around me, and I felt him kiss the crown of my head. “Then we will go to her. We will go so you can assure her you’re happy.” He pulled back and cupped my cheeks, the sharpness of his claws softly pressing to my skin, never hard enough to harm. He was so gentle with me. “You are happy, aren’t you?”

I stared into Azar’s black eyes and felt myself softening against him, felt the smile slowly spread over my lips, and knew that as crazy as all of this was… yes, yes, I was so happy. I nodded, and my small smile turned into a full grin. “Yes,”I whispered. “I’ve never been happy before, and this whole situation is fast and crazy, but yes, I’m so happy.”

Azar pulled me in and embraced me for long moments, and then he was leading us to the cave, and there was nothing more I wanted than to lie in those furs with Azar, his arms around me, his lips on mine, and no chance of stopping things from going as far as they could.

Chapter 15

Azar

She was soft and warm andmine.And I’m never letting her go.

I held Emma close to my body after burying my face between her thighs and giving her pleasure over and over again. I hadn’t stopped until she lay exhausted and panting, her gloriously pale skin having a light sheen of sweat because I'd made her feel good.

I hummed in male pride and pulled her in closer. She’d dozed off and on, but I could tell she was awake now, her breathing light and steady, her fingers tracing along my bicep.

The furs were draped over our waist, and I trailed my fingers along the curve of her hip, then all the way up so they rested under her tiny chin. Trying to resist my female was an impossible feat, and my cock gave a mighty jerk as if agreeing.

I groaned at the idea of marking her, that although she didn’t yet wear my bite on her neck and I hadn’t come inside her, she still smelled like me.
