Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Walking upstairs, I was hesitant to step in the room. One of the cooks had brought a platter of food,
cheeses, crackers and fresh fruits and some weird round pieces of meat and what looked like coloured
little onions. Dragus plucked a grape off the tray before popping it in his mouth. I walked into the closet,
my clothes were a little damp from walking in the snow. I slipped on some comfy pajamas before
walking back out to find all of them only in shorts having removed their shirts. My eyes roaming over
each one of them and I felt my stomach tighten at the sight of them before Silas held out his hand to
me, wanting me to come to him.
“Don’t go back on your word Elora or I will” he said.
Placing my hand in his, I let him pull me toward the bed before sitting on the edge. Reaching over, I
took a cube of cheese and a cracker as they were literally the only thing other than the fruit, I
recognised and started eating with them. “Try these,” Matitus said pointing to the round thing that
looked like meat and the little onions. I watched as he put them on the cracker with the cheese before
popping it in his mouth.
Picking up the little green onion, it felt slimy. Sniffing it, it didn’t smell like an onion. I pop it in my mouth
and nearly spit it out from its weird tangy taste, it wasn’t horrid but not what I was expecting. Matitus
chuckles before doing the same to another cracker and handing it to me. “You’re supposed to put
cheese and cabanossi with it” he says, handing it to me.
“Try it now” he said as I placed the cracker with its strange assortment in my mouth before chewing it
slowly and swallowing.
“Taste better?” Silas asks beside me as he lays on his side.
“Yes, better,” I tell him before making another one, copying what Matitus did. When we finish eating, I
suddenly get nervous. Would it hurt being marked by them, in the dragon heat nothing hurt worse than
the burning, so I didn’t even notice Matitus initial bite.
“It will only hurt for a second, then it will feel good” Matitus answers my racing thoughts.
“Can you not do that; I should be allowed the privacy of my own mind,” I tell him looking at him
annoyed.
“Fine, I will try not to, okay?” he says, reaching for me as Dragus removes the tray and places it outside
the door on the trolley.
“How do I know you will turn the power back on?” I ask, looking at Silas.
“You may not trust me, Elora, but I am not a liar. If you want, though, you can let one of us mark you
then the other after the power is back on.”
“Will you allow that?” I ask incredulously, that one of them will wait. It actually surprised me he didn’t
mark me the moment I said it.
“Yes, so who first? You can decide” Silas says. Looking between both Dragus and Silas, how do I
choose without angering the other. “They won’t be angry,” Matitus says next to my ear, making me look
at him.
“Stay out of my head, Matitus,” I tell him.
“Oh, right forgot.” I roll my eyes at him.
“Anyone got a coin, flip for it?” I suggest not wanting to choose between them. Silas stands up before
digging through his pocket before pulling out a gold coin. He tosses it to me, and I catch it.
“Fine, heads or tails” I ask looking at them.
“Heads” Silas says. Flipping the coin in the air, I catch it before placing it on my arm and lifting my
hand.
“Tails, that means you Dragus,” I tell him looking at him. Silas didn’t seem fazed as he sat back down
on the bed.
“It won’t hurt for long” Matitus tells me, invading my thoughts again.
“Oh, my bloody god, are you incapable of listening? Stay out of my fucking head Matitus,” I tell him
slapping his arm.
“I find your thoughts entertaining little one, especially your thoughts when I catch you, perve” Turning
around quickly, I place my hand over his lips so he can’t finish what he was about to say. I can feel him
still trying to talk as I press my hand to his mouth, muffling his voice. Matitus chuckles and my face
goes bright red with embarrassment.
Matitus grips me before lifting me on his chest as he lays back on the bed, pulling me with him. My
hands clamped tightly over his full lips.
“Don’t be embarrassed Elora, I would be more worried if you weren’t attracted to us, because it would
mean you don’t feel the bond at all” Silas says.
‘Somehow I don’t think anyone would find them not attractive they basically looked like sex on legs,
with their masculine bodies and godlike looks, oh my god he is listening,’ I feel Matitus chuckle before
trying to pry my hands from his face as he goes to blab my thoughts to them. “Don’t it’s bad enough
you keep invading them” I tell while I glared down at him.
Moving my hand from his lips, Matitus smirks. “Oh, how will you survive the embarrassment when we
can all hear you” he whispers before gripping my hips as I go to get off him.
Sitting up, my legs straddle his waist as he holds me in place. I can feel his erection growing
underneath me and I raise an eyebrow at him before I feel Dragus sweep my hair to the side, exposing
my neck where Matitus marked me. I flinch when his fingers brush the mark and tingles spread down
my neck and shoulder, making me shiver. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Just remember what you also promised Elora, Dragus and Matitus will know if you resist the mate
bond” Silas says rubbing his hand up my thigh. My heart starts hammering in my chest at his words
and the meaning behind them.
“We won’t force you, Elora, just don’t deny what you feel,” Matitus says softly making me look down at
him before looking at Silas and he nods in agreement with Matitus.
“Aren’t they the same thing though the mate bond will make me want to even if logically I don’t want to,”
I tell them, and they shrug.
“Like I said, we won’t force you, but” There is always a but, I think sarcastically.
“We will know if you don’t want to, we just don’t want you to deliberately shove what you feel aside
because you don’t want to be with us. Make sense?”
“Not really,” I tell him, and he chuckles. I feel Dragus move behind me pressing into my back as he
kneels behind me, his knees on either side of mine straddling Matitus. Fear consumes me when I feel
his breath on the back of my neck. I feel his arm snake around my waist pulling me against him and I
suddenly forget how to breathe as my heart beats erratically in my chest so hard that I can hear it.
Dragus move his hand it goes under my shirt, before I feel Matitus hands run up my thighs and under
the pajama shorts I have on, his hands stopping at the apex of my legs as he brushes his thumbs
against my hips.
“Breathe Elora, it will only hurt for a second. I promise,” Matitus says making my eyes snap to his and I
take a deep breath as I feel the points of his fangs press against my skin. I notice Silas sits up and
places a hand on Dragus shoulder, gripping it tightly.
“Just a precaution” he whispers. Silas has said before that Matitus and Dragus can sometimes struggle
with control, and I know that is why he grabbed him. In case Dragus loses that control, the thought
scared me. But I didn’t have enough time for that fear to completely register as I felt his teeth break
through my skin over Matitus mark. I scream and squirm for a second and Matitus grip and Dragus
holds me in place as I feel his teeth slice through my skin. It hurt but didn’t last long when I could feel a
sudden pull like an elastic band snapping into place, linking us together before I felt his tongue roll over
my skin and pleasure explodes throughout me as I leaned into him. A moan escaping my lips and my
body relaxes against him as my head rolls back onto his shoulder.
I feel a little high from his bite when he suddenly pulls back, and I can feel through the bond the
struggle he actually has but forces himself because he doesn’t want to hurt me. I feel his teeth leave
my skin before he runs his tongue over it, making me shiver as he seals the mark before kissing the
side of my face.
Dizziness rushes over me and my head spins as I feel him move away and I slump against Matitus
feeling sleepy and can feel his venom spreading throughout my body. I don’t remember feeling this
when Matitus bit me.
“It’s because Dragus isn’t a pure dragon, one mark has little effect on your body, Elora. Two will make
you feel tired, and Silas may just knock you out for a few days,” Matitus answers my thoughts as my
eyelids flutter closed and I try to nod my head when sleep consumes me.
