Chapter 134: Ashrac
A light bulb went off in my brain at the table. It was the strangest feeling. The bulb then exploded into a million shards and sent an electrical current throughout my body. The feeling's been described to me many times, but I had no idea how instantly my world would change.
Flora is my mate.
My mind knows and my body knows. It no longer matters what her clothes hide. It no longer matters that she turned me green or that she hasn't told me about being an eagle shifter.
She's mine.
I have no idea how or why it happened, but it did and nothing will stand between me and this woman. No mountains or dragons or Goddesses.
Flora follows us as we walk to the lab. The kids don't bother shifting to fly because she's here and they have no idea she has her own wings. I'm actually proud that they're considering her feelings. We enter the lab and I walk over to my latest experiment. The electrical circuit is within a plastic shield made up of melted cell phone glass. I have cell phone batteries inside shields too. Flora and the kids gather around me while I line the circuits and batteries up and connect them with small built-in connectors. After I have all the parts ready, I connect everything to a kid's electronic car that doesn't work in this realm. Or at least it didn't. The lights start flashing and the car moves forward a few inches before it dies a sudden death and comes to a stop.
Even though I hoped for better results, the kids smiles and claps warm my heart. "You did it, Uncle Ashrac," Botan cheers. "Will this help solve the problems for the human villages in our realms?" He asks excitedly.
I shrug while my brain calculates the up and downside of this experiment. "I'm working on it," I finally reply. "You saw the extent the electricity worked so far. I'm still a long way from having a working model to take to your village and try out. The good news is I've made progress and I have more than a spark."
Zara and Zora wrap their arms around my legs and squeeze. "We knew you could do it, Uncle Ashrac. We love you."
I place my arms around them and lift them up, adding a big squeeze back. "Stop, stop." They giggle when I squeeze them a little too hard, which is a game we like to play.
I happen to look over at Flora when I set them back down on the floor. Confusion covers her expression. My heart swells even though I don't know what the expression means. She's my mate and we'll have eternity to figure out all of our idiosyncrasies. I begin showing her and the kids how I made so much headway in my experiments. The girls could be my prot間閟 when they're older. None of the boys really shows an interest in this type of work, but the girls do. All the kids care about the humans and want their lives to be helped with things like electricity, but the boys also want electronic gadgets to work here in our realms. I understand. It's exactly what I wanted at the younger boys' age. It wasn't long after that when I began tearing apart gadgets to figure them out.
It makes me think of my own children and what their interests will be. I look over to Flora and the same strange expression is frozen on her face. Now she's worrying me.
Thirty minutes later, the kids fly off the tower's balcony and head for home. "Will they be okay flying home alone?" Flora asks.
My chest puffs up at her question. "They're dragons. Of course they're safe." I head back into the lab and remove the lab coat I put on by habit when I showed the kids my latest progress.
"Ashrac," Flora says softly.
It's such a strange tone for her and I turn expecting anything other than what I get. She wraps her arms around me and presses her lips to mine. It's so different from before I realized she was my mate. My power swirls and builds. She doesn't play with my lips, she attacks them. Within seconds my erection pokes against her stomach and a low groan escapes me when she grinds against me.
There's a cot in the corner of the room for when I'm too tired to fly to my bedroom. It's not even a conscious thought when I lift her and carry her over. I follow her down and cover her body with mine.
She moves her head slightly. "Ashrac," she whispers.
The wanting sound in her voice goes straight to my cock. I lift my upper body and place one knee between hers. I whip my shirt over my head, and remove my pants, which isn't easy in this position. I look at her when I lean back down and untie the ridiculous tie she's wearing to hold up my pants that are entirely too big for her. She doesn't stop me and her eyelids lower and her eyes go impossibly darker. I pull the pants down her legs in one swift move revealing amazingly sexy legs.
They're long and shapely and it's really surprising because she's such a small thing. She takes her glasses from her nose and rests them by the small table next to the bed. Then she sits up and lifts her arms. I pull the shirt off and toss it on the floor with our other clothes. I'm stunned. There are no words to describe the woman I'm looking at. She's not just beautiful, she's exquisite and even that word comes nowhere close to Flora. It's when she lifts her hand to pull me back to the bed that I lose it. This is my mate and I'm claiming her.
Our lips meld again and her scent wraps around me, through me, and through my dragon. I'm complete. Pulling back is hard but I have more of her to discover.
