her core, he slid easily into her.
She looked up at him with wide eyes, clinging to his waist. He nipped at her lip as he pushed deeper, spreading her wider than she could possibly have imagined.
She groaned up at him, running her hands up and down his back, his velvety blue skin smooth under her fingers. He thrust further, sinking inch by glorious inch inside her. Her body widened around him, accepting his impossible girth into her tiny body. Her DNA had altered, allowing for her to take a man the size of a mammoth deep inside her core. He filled her and sank to his root. She gasped, barely able to breathe from the fullness, on the edge of both panic and pleasure. Elait cupped her chin in his hand and kissed her lips. He kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear.
“I'm going to mark you now,” he said. “You will be forever mine.”
Elait kissed down her neck and she felt the tips of his sharp teeth brush over her sensitive flesh. He tilted his hips, pulling his girth out of her, only to thrust forward again. As he filled her to the brink of sanity, his teeth punctured her flesh.
Sophia cried out but his teeth sank all the way into her neck and cut off her scream. He held her neck in between his teeth as he thrust again and again into her soft, moist pussy. She pressed her eyes shut, allowing herself to relax into pure abandon.
As he clamped down on her neck and fucked her senseless, his soul bound together with hers and she knew the depths of who he was at the core of his being. She had never expected to find such tenderness and love at the heart of a warrior.
The mating bite filled her with a new sense of awareness, something beyond Elait himself. He was changing her. She would never be a dragon, but his bite imbued her with something else. Long life, vigorous health, new insights and intelligence beyond that of any human.
He growled above her and she felt his seed shoot deep inside her. She orgasmed as the flood of his heat filled her, completely surrendered to her presence.
As they both began to calm from the climax of their release, he withdrew his teeth and licked her wound until it healed. Ever so slowly, he withdrew himself from inside her, leaving her hollow at his absence. Her mind reeled with the new knowledge of who she was. Her new body, her new mind, her new soul. She was forever entangled with Elait.
Now, she was the Princess of Galaton, Land of the Air. She had become something more than Sophia Castillo had ever been. She was born again in the image of the Draconian, and she would never be the same again.

E lait left Sophia sleeping in the bed as the pilots navigated through the star system towards Galaton. They would be home in just a few days. Warp drive could only be activated once every twenty-four hours and Sophia had used it at just the right moment. He had nothing but pure and utter respect for his mate and would allow her to fly spaceships whenever she wanted.
Sophia had proven a quick mind and a steady hand. If he could trust her with his life, he could definitely trust her with her own. He went to the meeting room and ran his hand over the holographic control dashboard, hailing his contact in the Draconian military.
A man's face came up on the screen, older than Elait by several hundred years and beginning to show the signs of age.
“Admiral,” Elait started. “This is Elait Purr, Air Prince of Galaton. I have had to leave my planet in order to save my bride from a Mulgor invasion on the transport route from Draconia. I am requesting assistance from the Draconian military to deal with this threat. More brides are on their way, and our trade routes are in danger.”
“I am afraid we cannot spare any vessels at this time,” the admiral said.
“What do you expect us to do?” Elait asked, irritated.
Draconia had insulted Galaton for far too long. They’d kept them out of the mating lottery for thirty years, causing the unrest on Galaton that he and the other princes were
