Page 74 of The Cursed Queen

"Whatever it is, we'll deal with it, then make it in time for you to be crowned dragon queen," Drayce replied, patting my head a second time.

I frowned at the bigger man. "Pat me like an animal again, Drayce, and I'll bite your damn hand off."

"Oooh feisty." Drayce winked at me. "What, you hadn't had enough of biting me the night before, so you're wanting to go for more?"

Ryu burst into a fit of giggles while my face heated with embarrassment. Andriel looked confused.

"Wait, what? What's this I hear about biting?" Andriel asked.

"Nothing!" I shouted before burying my face in my hands.

Now it was Drayce who was laughing at me, which made me want to bite him even more. Less intimate, and more painful.

"I'll tell you along the way," Drayce said after settling his laughter. "Come on, we should get going. Otherwise, we won't make it back on time."

"Be careful, you three. Any sign of trouble, let me know and I'll fly there and be the hero for a change," Ryu said. He patted Drayce's back with one hand and rubbed circles along the space on my back that was between my wings. They twitched, feeling slightly ticklish but also relaxed.

Andriel leaned closer to me so he could whisper in my ear. "Do I get to be eaten by you, too? I feel like I missed out on something great."

By the gods, I wanted to rush to the nearest boulder and hide behind it. I dared not answer him. Instead, I scurried to catch up with Drayce, who already started walking, and prayed nothing would go wrong.

The teasing continued as Andriel and Drayce guided me to the den's hunting ground. The downside of hearing their thoughts was being unable to tune them out when they were laughing at me.

Fuckers.

Strangely enough, my sexual escapade with Drayce and Ryu seemed to arouse Andriel. Maybe after the coronation, I could talk him into joining us? By the gods, having three dicks to lick, suck, and stroke at once would be interesting. Would they rotate on pounding my wet pussy? What would the other two be doing while one was inside me?

"You know your fantasies are loud, my darling." Andriel's voice purred.

"Stupid mate bonds," I grumbled, which had both my men laughing again.

The den's hunting ground was on the other side of the mountain, a deep-green forest pavilion with a canopy of trees blocking out the sun and sky. Drayce and Andriel had to maneuver through the trees, disrupting their flight pattern, whereas I, a much smaller being, had no difficulties at all. We spent a good hour hunting and killing larger animals like Elk, Deer, and a few wolves. Never hunted before, Andriel had tocoach me on approaching my prey quietly, and without being noticed, before going in for a kill.

Admittedly, my first few attempts weren't successful, but my men were patient with me. They instructed me on how to improve, and didn't reprimand me when I got it wrong. After about the fifth attempt, I successfully tackled a mountain lion I found lurking near Wadon Heights. Remembering what Andriel taught me, I flew higher up the canopy, landing on a branch, and crouching low to hide.

I watched the giant cat warily, eyes narrowed, waiting for the moment to strike. As soon as its furry back was to me, I lept forward. The mountain lion's head rose as it heard me approach. It took off seconds before I could grab it with my claws.

Not this time.

I crashed into the mountain on all fours, the stone surface beneath me exploding into a crater, then thrust to the left where the mountain lion took off, tackling its side. It let out a shrieked roar as we toppled on the grass. Pinning it under me, I grabbed it by the head and twisted it, hearing the snap of its neck as its body grew limp. I huffed out a breath, feeling triumphant in my first catch.

"Nicely done," Andriel's voice echoed through our bond as he broke through the canopy to land a few feet from me. He shifted back into his human form before pulling me into his warm embrace and taking my lips into his. I melted against his body, my arms wrapping around his neck and my wings folding over us.

The warmth of flames licked my back before a hard, naked body pressed against me. Drayce had me sandwiched between him and Andriel; both deliciously naked, and had me wondering how pissed the rest of the den would be if we wasted another hour to have my men ravish me from head to toe.

Already aware he was reading my thoughts, Andriel smirked through the kiss before pulling back. "As enticing as it would be to have these pretty lips of yours around my cock, while Drayce has his buried between your legs, we really should get our catches back to the den. Otherwise, Lord Igneel will probably send a search party after us."

I pouted, then shivered as Drayce's lips trailed up my neck before reaching my ears, licking the ridge and breathing on my heated skin. That did not help to quell the raging lust building inside me.

"No need to pout, your majesty. There will be plenty of time after your coronation to lose yourself to the feel of all our cocks," Drayce whispered.

I gulped. "Promises, promises."

"Indeed. A promise we intend to keep," Andriel said.

"Come on, we should return our future queen to the den, and get these fresh kills to the cooks," Drayce announced, swatting my ass before grabbing the dead mountain lion and carrying it back to the forest.
