Enchanting Eilagh (Dragon Warriors) Read online

  Eilagh's whimpering and thrashing head brought his attention back to her. Speeding his fingers up, plunging into her even faster, he pressed his thumb into her clit with each stroke. He watched her face grow tense, her breathing hitch … then she screamed, her pussy clutching his fingers so tight he could barely move them. He shook from the thought of how good she would feel clamped around his cock. Her beautiful blue eyes flicked open and stared up at him, glowing with adoration.

  "My precious Desired…" He had just lowered his mouth to hers, intent on ravaging her mouth, when the bathroom door was blown in, pieces of splintered wood landing all throughout the room.

  Eilagh jumped in fright, before he moved her quickly so his body shielded hers as he turned toward the door. A dragon, with green scales and orange skin, stood inside his bathroom. It had to be either Johan or Adio. Before he could say a word Max was brought into the room. He was being held with his arm pulled up behind his back in an awkward manner that prevented him from moving without inflicting pain on himself, while a knife was held at his throat. The man holding the knife was none other than Gyasi, younger brother to Huro, the ringleader of the uprising against Dimitri.

  "What the fuck do you think you're doing, Gyasi?" Dimitri roared. He was furious that this bastard had dared to barge into his home in this way. Especially while his Desired was naked and wet in his arms. He rose from the bath making sure to keep Eilagh shielded behind him.

  "Huro wants the female. She comes with us or your brother dies." Gyasi's voice was calm and steady. He was in control and would not be easy to placate.

  "I will never allow you to take my Desired or to harm my brother." Dimitri stepped from the bath toward Gyasi, drawing their attention away from the tub, away from Eilagh. Before he could flash to his dragon and take these bastards out, he was grabbed from behind by the dragon and thrown to the wall. A sharp prick in his neck took him by surprise before he was swung around. His body felt sluggish, his limbs not moving how they should. What the hell had they given him? He looked up as he heard something heavy hit the tiled floor. Gyasi had thrown Max to the ground where he lay blinking but unable to move—just like himself. Max's gaze was filled with fury and focused across the room. Dimitri followed his stare at the same moment as Eilagh's terror-filled scream filled the air.

  Gyasi had grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace. Dimitri’s mind screamed NOOOOOOOO! He mentally issued an order to all warriors to guard the females and any not guarding the others to come to his and Max’s rooms. There was no response, but he wasn't sure of the reason. Maybe his mental command didn't get out because of the drug they had given him. He desperately tried to move his limbs, tried to shift. But nothing happened. He watched helplessly as Eilagh was wrapped in his robe, slung over Gyasi's shoulder and hauled out of his sight—the whole time she reached out for him and Max, her gaze desperately pleading for them to save her.

  Chapter Three

  Eilagh was beyond furious. She'd woken up to the most sensual feeling of someone washing her hair. Dimitri had bathed her then brought her to climax. He'd been about to kiss her, and things were heading exactly where she wanted them to, when this complete moron and his lackey came barging in. When they gave both Max and Dimitri a shot in the neck, she watched horrified as they dropped to the floor unable to move. She couldn't believe how much seeing them hurt got to her. She'd known them for less than twenty-four hours, and already it felt like they were both a part of her heart and soul—parts she couldn't live without now she'd found them.

  Tears stung her eyes as she was carried out of the castle and away from her dragons. When they stopped moving she looked up to see a second green and orange dragon with a man who had Becky slung over his shoulder. Unlike her, Becky was gagged, and her wrists and ankles had been bound. She looked closely at the man holding her friend. His cheek looked bruised. Go, Becky! Trust Becky to fight back. She was certain that bruise on his face wasn't the only one he was sporting. Becky was used to dealing with miners, and she could hold her own no trouble at all. Eilagh wasn't defenseless either, but she knew the men had outnumbered her and didn't want to be drugged, so she hadn’t fought back—at least not yet. If these creeps put her and Becky together they had a good chance of getting away.

  The moron holding her spun to look at the other man, and she felt his laugh rumble through his body and into hers.

  "You had some trouble, brother?"

  "You could say that. This one has fight. She'll breed good strong warriors, I'm sure."

  Eilagh's blood rushed from her face, despite the fact she hung upside down. She clenched her eyes shut as she broke out in a cold sweat. We’ve been kidnapped to be breeders. Fear coursed through her body as she was lifted from the man's shoulder. He quickly handed her to the dragon, who gripped her tightly in his arms before he took to the skies. Two bright flashes later, three other dragons joined them, one with Becky in its firm grip. She caught Becky's terrified gaze as they were flown away from the castle.

  After the initial fear of being far above the ground passed, Eilagh found herself admiring the beauty of the land below. It wasn't that different from Earth. Well, it was very different from outback Australia, but very similar to tropical Queensland. The lush forests reminded her of the time she'd gone to visit the Daintree National Park, especially the large crystal clear waterholes with their broad smooth rocks. Even the massive trees reaching up toward them seemed very similar to the Queensland ones. Suddenly she noticed the trees were getting closer. She looked around and spotted the ruins of a castle up ahead. The dragons all swooped down and landed outside the ruins before two flashed back to human.

  "Welcome, females, to your new home. I am Huro, clan leader. This is my brother, Gyasi, and our cousins behind you, Johan and Adio. What are your names?"

  "Take us back, you bastard! We do not belong to you," Eilagh growled out as the dragon released her from his tight grip.

  "Ahh, that's where you’re wrong, sweetheart. You are in our possession, so that means you and your friend are all ours. What are your names? Or would you prefer we make new ones up for you?"

  "Eilagh and Becky," she ground out while staring daggers at Huro. Bastard just chuckled.

  "I can see you both have strong wills and plenty of fight in you. You will breed fine warriors, but you both need to lose some of your fight before we all mount you, I think. Johan? Adio? Take them to the dungeon for now. Make sure they are locked up securely. And no touching—not yet anyway."

  Two more bright flashes and human Johan and Adio dragged them down through the ruins to the dungeons, which were conveniently intact. The men copped a good feel of her ass and breasts as they thrust her into a cell. She watched as they gave Becky the same treatment—before releasing her hands and feet. Proving they did have some level of brain function. Becky would have had them both on the ground in less than ten seconds if she could have gotten her hands on them. Eilagh watched through the bars as they very quickly released Becky's gag and bindings before pushing her into the cell next to her. With a thick stone wall between them she couldn't even see her friend. After allowing enough time for the men to have cleared the cells, she called out to Becky.

  "Becky? Are you all right?"

  "Yeah, Eilagh, I'm okay. Pissed as all hell for them getting the jump on me."

  "I bet. Looks like you got at least a couple of shots in though."

  "Hell yeah, his face is gonna hurt for a while I reckon, and those ribs of his will hurt for even longer. How about you? You okay?"

  "Yeah, they totally caught us by surprise. They drugged Dimitri and Max and dragged me out of there."

  "Umm, yeah, I kinda noticed you're in a bathrobe, hun. What did they interrupt?"

  Eilagh turned twelve shades of red as she felt heat rush over her cheeks.

  "Dimitri and I were in the bath. Ah, um, we were…"

  Becky's chuckle cut her off. "Those men are something else, aren't they?"

  "That they are. It's been crazy since the G
reat Wind brought us here, but I was happy with Dimitri and Max. Being with them, just having them close, I felt more whole than I ever have before. It's so strange … and hard to put into words."

  "Yeah, I know what you mean. They wear you down fast. I don't want one alpha male, let alone two to deal with—but like you say, it just feels right when they're close."

  "What are your men called?"

  "Savren and Drake, Drake's older by a year or so."

  "Have you seen them in dragon form yet?"

  "Not yet. Why?"

  "Well, umm … oh damn, this is kinda embarrassing…"

  "Just spit it out, girl. We all heard you moaning after lunch before the men rushed us all out of there like their tails were on fire."

  "The dragons, their tongues, um … their tongues vibrate." Eilagh rushed the words out before holding her breath, waiting for Becky's response. Didn't take long.

  She barked out a loud laugh. "Hot damn, girl! Can't wait to try that out. No wonder you were moaning."

  "Yeah well, we gotta get out of here first. I only want two dragons to be touching and licking me, and neither of them are here."

  "I hear you. Just not sure how the hell we're going to get out of this mess yet."

  ****

  Max was livid. In his entire life, he'd never been so pissed off. He'd called the cleaning crew to come up and sort out the master bedroom, but when he'd opened the door it was to find an incapacitated cleaning crew on the floor and Gyasi with either Johan or Adio in dragon form waiting to pounce on him. They’d gotten the jump on him before he could react. Damn it. A similar stunt had been pulled on Savren and Drake. The bastards had gotten their hands on Eilagh and Becky. Fortunately, Carina was safe in the medical clinic. The poor female was still unconscious. Skye and Binda were also safe. With only four dragons it wasn't possible for them to have done a snatch and grab on all five females.

  Max paced the length of the Gathering Hall and shook out his arms. Pins and needles continued to tease his nerves. Fortunately, after the alarm was raised, Baxter had come running with a shot to reverse the effects of the potent drug they had been given.

  Max growled in frustration.

  "What’s taking so long? They have been gone for over an hour, Dimitri. We need to fly out. Now."

  "Patience, my brother, we need to have all of our abilities back before he can head out. I still can't shift. We also need a plan. We can't just randomly go searching for them."

  Max knew Dimitri was right, but that didn't mean he had to be happy about it.

  Just then, one of the younger warriors came running in with his arms full of yellow scrolls.

  "Here are the old maps. They should give us an idea of where they’re hiding out."

  "Okay, everyone grab a map and start searching. I want a list of possible places these bastards could be using. I don't think I need to tell you to hurry." Dimitri ordered them all before grabbing a map himself.

  Before long they had their list of possible hideouts. There were several castle ruins dotted around the planet but only one close enough to warrant checking out. Max was glad his brother was older, even if only by a few minutes. Max’s fury outweighed any hope he had of logically thinking. Yet Dimitri was the perfect leader, calmly ordering the warriors around getting ready to go rescue their females. With a plan in place they all took off. Six warriors were heading out, and the rest were staying to guard the remaining females and to fortify the security of the castle. Max had also bribed the cleaning crew to start the clean up in their chambers first.

  Approaching the castle ruins, they could see candlelight glowing from a couple of the windows confirming they had indeed found the bastards’ hideout. Now to find the females. As they drew near the ruins and prepared to land, Max heard Eilagh's scream. It ripped through his skull, stunning him and causing him to land in a heap on the stone courtyard. Most undignified ... not to mention embarrassing as hell.

  Max, you okay? What happened?

  I heard Eilagh's scream, inside my head. You didn't hear it?

  No, brother, but I haven't been touched by our Desired while in dragon form.

  Shit, I completely forgot about all that. That means I can find her. I can hone in on her location. Quick, this way, she's hurting.

  Max rose up from the ground and made his way toward her, knowing the other dragons would follow him without question. They quietly made their way deeper until they came to a doorway that glowed with a pale light.

  "Would you stop fighting already? Your fate is sealed. The sooner you accept it the better. There is nothing you can do to change your future, but if you keep punching and kicking, you can most definitely make it a hell of a lot worse."

  Max felt both angry and proud. His little Eilagh was a fighter and wasn’t taking her kidnapping lying down. The fact she had to fight at all just pissed him right off. He looked at his brother, who nodded. Dimitri entered first, roaring his fury. Max was quick to follow his brother, staying low as he made his way into the room. Rage filled him, and he growled when he saw Johan and Adio. Momentarily frozen in shock they stood on either side of Eilagh, crowding her in between their large bodies while their dirty hands were on what belonged to him and Dimitri. The shock cleared from Eilagh's gaze, and she smiled up at them.

  Thank the Goddess, she knows it's us, Dimitri.

  Of course she knows us. You take Adio, and I'll take Johan. Go easy with the fire. We don't want Eilagh accidently hurt.

  Max huffed at his brother, like he needed to be told to be careful of his Desired.

  Johan thrust Eilagh hard behind him, and she caught herself against the rough stone wall with a groan before crumpling to the ground to curl into a ball. Max's neck and head shook as he roared in fury and launched himself toward Adio. One bite to his human neck and it would all be over. A bright flash filled the space, and as the light faded Max's head collided with Adio's dragon chest. Adio stumbled back from the blow, and he swiped Max's feet out from under him with a strike of his tail. As Max regained his footing, he saw Dimitri crash into Johan's dragon form on the other side of the room.

  Due to their powerful genetics, both Dimitri and Max were far stronger and larger than the other dragons, so it took but a moment for Max to be back up and ready to fight Adio. He lashed out his claws and tore the webbing on one of Adio wings as he attempted to regain his own footing. Adio howled in pain as he turned with his mouth open ready to blast Max with fire. Stupid bastard! Max quickly spun his back toward Adio as he reached for Eilagh. He barely felt the flames on his scales, and he breathed easier knowing that, in his arms, Eilagh was safe from the fire. Whipping his tail around, Max tripped the other dragon before he dashed to the doorway where he thrust Eilagh out into the care of the other dragons who'd come with them.

  Keep her safe, away from the door and the flames.

  Then to Dimitri, he added, Eilagh is out of the room with the others. Let's finish this.

  Before he finished speaking Adio was on his back, gripping a clawed hand around the base of each of Max's wings. Was the idiot trying to rip them off? Fool. With all the speed and force he could manage, Max whipped his head around and knocked the smaller dragon off his back. He hissed as Adio delivered scratches to both his wing shoulders as he lost his grip.

  Max roared as he spun on the other dragon, tripping him once again with his tail. He blasted flames at the exposed underside of Adio's wings, catching the thin leather on fire. As the bastard howled in pain, Max dived in for the killing blow. Wrapping his jaw around the front of his throat, Max ripped it free before he blew flames down into Adio’s chest to char his heart.

  Max's own heart thudded, and his breaths came hard and fast as the other dragon crashed to the ground. He spun to see how Dimitri was faring, and was just in time to see his brother slam Johan against the back wall before he cut open his chest with his large claws. Dimitri thrust a clawed hand inside the other dragon and pulled his heart free before dropping both to the ground. His brother turned, a
nd they locked gazes for a moment.

  Let's get our Desired and go home, brother.

  You take her, Max. I'm covered in that bastard's blood.

  With your red scales, hopefully she won't notice and freak out.

  Dimitri huffed smoke at him before Max turned to the doorway. He could hear Eilagh demanding to be told what was happening.

  It's safe to let our Desired return to us.

  A moment later, Eilagh cautiously appeared in the doorway. She ran her gaze over the room and the two dead dragons before she ran straight for him. When she was within arm’s reach, she jumped at him forcing him to rear up and catch her in his arms. He hugged her close to his chest, purring to let her know everything was all right. He couldn't wait for them to be fully bonded. He'd then be able to speak into her mind.

  Eilagh's hot tears burned his skin and broke his heart. He enclosed his wings around her, holding her close and keeping her warm as she sobbed her emotions out. His poor baby was so overwhelmed by everything she’d been through. He simply held her and purred to her until her tears settled down, and after some time, she drifted off to sleep out of exhaustion. As he unfurled his wings from around her, he looked up and caught Dimitri's gaze.

  Dimitri, our Desired needs to go home. She needs rest. Have the others found Becky?

  Yes, she was found in the dungeon. It would seem Huro and Gyasi have fled. They can’t be located.

  Eilagh is getting cold and needs to be taken care of. What are your next orders?

  Yes, Becky is in need of comfort, too. We shall return to the castle. Huro and Gyasi are a problem that can wait for another day.

  Max was sure they hadn’t heard the last of Huro and Gyasi, but all he wanted was to take their Desired home and care for her. Dimitri was right. Their enemies could wait for another day. They headed out of the ruins to the stone courtyard where they met up with the others. Max noted that Becky lay asleep in Savren's arms much the same as Eilagh was in his. Once they all gathered, they took to the skies returning home with their very precious bundles safe and secure.
