Crown Of Hearts-Chapter 70: Mark you as mine

No... Valerion knew didn’t want to lose himself but he doubted he could remain sane as he looked at his mate that was clearly planning to pounce on him.

Eamon stood up and walked towards Valerion who was talking much longer to arrive.

His palms landed on Valerion’s toned abs, trailing a slow deliberate caress up to his neck and Eamon was pleased when the dragon’s body trembled under his touch.

Eamon’s lips then found his neck, kissing the spot right above his collarbone and Valerion’s breath hitched, his hands that were glued to his side wanting nothing more than to yank Eamon towards him.

And then he heard it, the soft flirtatious voice that made his entire being ran cold.

"Do you want to bite me, love?" Eamon whispered beside his ear, not knowing what to make of his mate’s stiffness.

Valerion slowly pulled away from him, numerous emotions swirling through his cloudy grey eyes as faint scales started to cover his forearms.

He was desperately fighting for control and his dragon wasn’t making it easy.

’He asked the question, we should give him an answer.’ the beast coaxed and Valerion gritted his teeth in restraint as he back away until his back hit the wall behind him.

Eamon stood at a distance, his warm brown eyes filled with concern as the looked at him.

The dragon’s brow was covered with sweat and he appeared to having trouble breathing.

"No, I don’t." Valerion forced the words out of his lips yet he was sure he wanted the exact opposite.

He just didn’t want to scare his mate.

"I know you want to, I am still bonded to you, remember?" Eamon pointed out and Valerion shook his head in denial.

Eamon was starting to get frustrated because he couldn’t understand why the dragon was intent on resisting something he so clearly wanted.

"Baby, I know all about the side effects of the mark you gave me." Eamon faintly glared at his mate, letting him know his lie was exposed.

Valerion’s eyes widened slightly, surprised by Eamon’s statement

"Who told you?" He tried to keep the irritation from his voice but failed. He had tried so hard to shield Eamon from all this but his efforts had been in vain.

"It doesn’t matter who did. I am upset that you lied to me when I asked." Eamon pointed out and Valerion sighed softly in defeat.

"I didn’t want to scare you." His voice was a low whisper as he vividly recalled how startled his mate had been the last time he had tried to mark him when he was conscious.

Eamon’s eyes softened as his palm landed on Valerion’s chin, their eyes meeting in a familiar gaze.

The dragon was only trying to protect him the best way he knew how and Eamon appreciated his thoughtfulness.

"I understand but please never lie to me again. I can handle the truth regardless of how it sounds, okay?" Eamon requested and Valerion lowered his eyes.

"I am sorry I lied." The dragon apologized and Eamon wrapped his hands around him in a warm embrace.

"It’s okay." Eamon whispered, as he pulled away so that he could look at his mate.

"I will ask again, do you want to bite me?" Eamon’s voice was low and seductive as their eyes met.

Valerion’s eyes briefly darted to his neck before they met Eamon’s again, a strong urge rippling through body as he inhaled deeply and tried to remain sane.

His dragon desperately wanted to take control and sink his teeth into Eamon’s skin but Valerion knew he had to take it slow.

"Yes....I want to bite you." His voice was hoarse from restraint as his eyes met Eamon’s.

"You can." Eamon smiled, his eyes welcoming and it took every single drop of restraint in Valerion’s body not to pounce on his mate.

"Are you sure you want this?" Valerion asked as his hand went for Eamon’s wrist, briefly bringing it to his lips and placing a kiss over the fading mark that he planned on renewing.

"Yes, I am sure. I want you." Eamon admitted and he watched as Valerion placed soft kisses on his wrist and a light graze of teeth on his skin made him aware that Valerion was planning on renewing the mark on his wrist.

Didn’t he want to give him a permanent one?

Eamon’s eyes that were closed from pleasure flew open just as Valerion’s lips parted and he prepared himself to sink his canines into Eamon’s skin.

"Wait..." Eamon whispered and Valerion pulled away, his eyes soft as they met Eamon’s hazy ones.

"I will understand if you want me to stop." His voice was gentle as he caressed the faint scar on Eamon’s wrist that was strangely very sensitive and Eamon shivered slightly.

"I don’t want you to stop. Don’t you want to bite me...here?" Eamon asked as his fingers delicately brushed along the side of his neck and Valerion stiffened as his eyes followed the motion, his heart thumping wildly within his chest.

"That mark will be permanent." Valerion warned, worried that his mate was not yet ready for it.

Valerion’s heart could shatter if he marked Eamon too soon and the man regretted it.

"You don’t want to?" Eamon’s eyes held a disappointment that tugged at Valerion’s already weak defenses.

"Of course I want to but I am worried that it is a little too soon. What if you woke up one day and regretted... being permanently bonded to me?" Valerion’s voice choked and Eamon’s brows furrowed slightly, not quite understanding where all of this was coming from.

"Baby, I love you and nothing is ever going to change that, okay?" Eamon coaxed gently and the fear in Valerion’s eyes slowly gave away to desire as the dragon kissed his forehead.

"I love you too." Valerion breathed as lips met Eamon’s in a soft tentative kiss.

"Eamon.....I really want to claim your body as I mark you as mine. Do you still want me to bite you?" Valerion asked as he pulled away, the hunger in his eyes making Eamon fully aware of his request.
