Crown Of Hearts-Chapter 73: I will be gentle

"I know. I am going to miss you so much." Alexander admitted as his arms tightened around his fiance.

"Promise me that you will be safe out there. I need you to come back to me." Damon’s voice was hoarse with emotion and Alexander placed a kiss on his head.

"I promise I will be safe and I will come back to you. Always." Alexander promised.

"Now, try to get some sleep, okay?" Alexander coaxed and Damon finally let himself relax as he slipped into a deep slumber, savouring the warmth of the body that was pressed against his.

.....

The next morning, Eamon woke up to the familiar gaze of his mate that was gazing at him lovingly.

"Good morning." Eamon murmured as he briefly stretched his body that seemed to ache everywhere.

"Good morning." Valerion smiled as he looked at his mate that was yawning as he rubbed his eyes.

He looked so cute and he had made it a habit to wake up at least five minutes before Eamon so that he could look at his peaceful sleeping face.

He couldn’t resist kissing his cheek and Eamon’s cheeks turned red as he gawked at him.

Valerion loved it whenever Eamon’s pale skin was colored with that pinkish hue and he smiled when Eamon mimicked his actions, shyly placing a kiss on his cheek as well.

"Let’s shower together." Valerion smirked as he got out of bed and Eamon held his hand, ready to follow him but his legs wobbled slightly once he stepped onto the ground and Valerion was quick to support him.

"Are you alright, love?" Valerion asked, wrapping an arm around Eamon’s waist.

Eamon smirked, his eyes dancing with mischief as his finger gently poked Valerion’s chest.

"I can barely walk because of you." He bit down on his lower lip as their eyes met.

Valerion’s eyes were smoldering with reignited desire as his thumb tugged on Eamon’s chin, gently releasing his lower lip from his teeth.

"Don’t bite your lip, Let me bite it for you." Valerion’s voice was a husky whisper as he leaned in, his lips softly landing on Eamon’s lips.

He kept his word and Eamon moaned in approval when Valerion teasingly bit his lower lip as his hand came to rest on his nape, deepening their kiss.

They were both breathless when they pulled away and Valerion grinned as he put his hand beneath Eamon’s knees, carrying him off the ground.

"Baby, if you are having trouble walking, then I will carry you." Valerion was impressed with how deeply Eamon was blushing, totally speechless as he moved through the door.

Eamon couldn’t keep the subtle smile off his lips as he wrapped his arms around Valerion’s neck and let his mate carry him.

The dragon was very thoughtful and Eamon really loved that about him. Valerion was always trying to make him more comfortable and it was touching.

His entire body seemed to relax once Valerion carried him into the steaming pool and Eamon was pleased with how gently the dragon was handling him.

"Val...I can stand now." Eamon whispered. Valerion reluctantly put him down, his arms snaking around Eamon’s waist to keep him steady just in case.

The action that was done out of innocence and concern soon had Valerion remotely aware of his hard manhood that was now poking Eamon’s thigh.

Eamon’s eyes widened slightly once he felt it and he was immediately aroused but he still felt sore.

He wanted Valerion but he needed about a day for his body to properly recover from the previous encounter.

"Val, I am still a little sore from last night." Eamon whispered as his eyes shyly met those of the dragon that was gently gazing down at him.

"I had figured as much, love. That’s why I think you should claim me as well. It’s only fair and besides, I really want you to." Valerion’s voice was deep and seductive as their eyes met in a heated gaze.

Eamon was a little surprised by the offer and his heart was touched as well.

His mate was trusting him and the image of him making love to the dragon had his manhood raging with need as his hands that were around Valerion’s neck slowly trailed down to his chest.

He leaned in, teasingly kissing and licking his neck before nibbling on his ear lobe.

"I will be gentle." Eamon promised as his teeth lightly sank into Valerion’s neck, impressed with how the dragon’s entire body was trembling from his touch.

....

After they were done bathing, Eamon happily sat before the mirror in their room after Valerion had insisted on drying his hair.

His eyes were fixed on the artistic tattoo on his neck, admiring it’s simplicity and value.

It looked just like Valerion’s dragon and the silver scales on his neck had been captured with impressive detail.

"It looks so good." Eamon smiled as his fingers lightly brushed over his neck, his body tingling once he touched the mark that was very sensitive to touch.

Valerion’s lips curled into a big smile as he ruffled Eamon’s hair with a towel, glad that his mate loved his mark.

"I’m glad you love it." Valerion admitted as their eyes met through the mirror.

"It’s my turn to dry your hair." Eamon stood up, taking the towel from Valerion’s hand and being able to do something so trivial for the dragon gave him immense happiness.

Once Eamon was done, they got dressed and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"We should be leaving soon if we want to get to the tattoo parlor in time." Valerion said as he placed more meat on his mate’s plate.

"Your actions are not helping to ensure we leave soon my love." Eamon smiled as he ate more bacon.

Valerion smiled, having nothing to say that could remotely save him.

He was already done with his meal so he waited patiently until Eamon was done, happy that his mate had eaten enough food.

Eamon was surprised when they had to fly to their destination and he soon understood why.
