Her Elemental Dragons: The Complete Series
Her Elemental Dragons: Kiss the Sky: Chapter 4

Last night I’d been a virgin. Now I was pressed between two gorgeous men, their hands and lips lavishing attention on my body. Jasin kissed my neck, while Auric claimed my mouth. Two hands stroked my breasts, and two others cupped my behind and gave it a quick squeeze. All I could do was relax into their touch and succumb to the overwhelming lust they stirred inside me.

I reached for them too, sliding my hands across their hard chests. Jasin was more muscular, a fighter through and through, while Auric was taller and leaner, but still strong. Both of them were perfect for me in different ways.

Jasin dragged my dress up over my head, revealing my naked flesh to Auric for the first time. Auric gazed down at me with a mix of reverence and hunger, taking me all in like he was memorizing every inch.

‘Turn around,’ he said. ‘I want to see all of you.’

I slowly spun, trying not to feel self-conscious under the gaze of both men. My natural inclination was to cover my breasts or my mound, but I kept my arms at my side, channeling a little of the bravery Jasin had taught me. These were my mates, and if I couldn’t be naked with them, then who?

‘Beautiful,’ Auric said, his voice rough. ‘The Gods could not have made you any better.’

I flushed as I turned back to him, warm from his compliments. ‘I want to see you too.’

“Whatever you desire.” He reached for his trousers and my pulse quickened, but then we heard a sound above us that made us freeze.

Slade dropped below deck, his movements rushed. “We have a—”

He stopped when he saw I was standing completely naked before the other two men. The urge to cover myself or turn away became almost unbearable, but he was going to see me naked eventually—and I wanted to see his reaction.

He quickly looked away, as if shielding his eyes from the sight of my bare skin. ‘I’m sorry. I didn’t know the three of you were…together like this.’

‘It’s all right,’ I said, trying to hide my disappointment at his response. ‘Is something wrong?’

‘Water elementals are surrounding the ship. Reven tried to speed us past them, but they’re turning the sea to ice around us.’

Jasin swore under his breath as he charged forward, still wearing nothing but his trousers. ‘I can fix that.”

“Be careful,” I said, as I quickly grabbed my dress and pulled it back on. “Remember, the ship is all wood.”

We scrambled up the ladder and onto the deck, where Reven glowered at the sea. Our ship was marooned in a large patch of ice in the middle of the ocean, though I didn’t see any elementals yet.

‘About time,’ Reven snapped at us. ‘I’ve been turning the ice back to water, but there are too many of them down there.’

‘I’ve got this.” Jasin leaped onto the railing and into the air, shifting into a dragon before he hit the ice. His change was faster this time, and he flapped his wings and blasted the ice with fire from his great fanged mouth.

‘They won’t last long against his fire magic,’ Auric said.

Slade watched Jasin fly higher with a frown. ‘No, but there are a lot more of them than him.”

“And that’s if he doesn’t set the entire ship on fire and kill us for them,” Reven muttered.

As Jasin took out the ice in front of us, the elementals burst onto the back of the ship with a crash of waves that sent cold seawater across our feet. At first I could only stare at the large, swirling masses of water with arms, glowing yellow eyes, and huge gaping mouths. But as Auric shot a gust of wind to knock the elementals back and Slade pulverized them with small pieces of metal, I shook myself out of the fear and shock.

I quickly formed a ball of flame in my hand, but then hesitated, worried I might miss and do damage to the ship. I hadn’t had much chance to practice my magic yet, and we’d decided it was safer for Jasin to train me once we were on land again. But this was the only way I could stop the elementals—they were immune to normal weapons.

“I’ll cover you,” Reven said. “My magic doesn’t work on them anyway.”

I nodded. Auric and Slade had knocked two elementals back into the water, but I suspected that wouldn’t stop them for long. Meanwhile, Jasin was fighting a large group at the front of the ship, his wings flapping as he did passes over them to rain down fire. I wasn’t sure how long he could keep that up though, especially since his dragon form was still so new to him.

Three elementals glided across the deck toward us and began shooting strong bursts of icy water at us. Reven reached out and diverted the water back into the ocean before it could hit us, but the elementals kept getting closer.

“Dragons…must…die…” one of them said, surprising me. I’d never realized they could speak in our language.

“We’re not like the other Dragons!” I called out, though it was clear there would be no reasoning with them.

The elementals suddenly charged us, their liquid bodies slicing through the wooden deck of the ship and sending splinters flying. One knocked Auric off the ship and into the water, while another began wrestling with Slade. The third came for me.

I threw my ball of flame, but only managed to graze the thing’s shoulder, where the fire sizzled out. So much for that plan. Reven shot water at the elemental to protect me, but all it did was join the creature’s body, making it stronger.

The elemental wrapped a cold, watery hand around my neck and lifted me up into the air. I forced fire to burst from my palms as I grabbed onto his head, which made the monster let out something like a scream. I kept up the pressure, making the flames hotter and stronger, and the elemental began to dissipate in front of my eyes. When it let me go I tumbled back into Reven, who steadied me while the elemental turned to steam and vanished.

I rubbed my aching throat, my heart racing, but there was no time to stop and recover. Slade was still grappling with the other elemental, using sharp pieces of the broken deck to attack it from all sides. I’d never seen him use wood before, only stone and metal, but there was little of that available on the ship and he must have had to improvise.

Auric burst out of the water, floating high into the air as if he was flying, and relief shot through me. He blasted an elemental across the deck and into the ocean, while Slade slammed the other one down against the deck. I rushed forward and used fire on it to take it out, while Jasin seared the ones in the sea. Slowly the elementals dipped back under the waves, retreating from the battle.

When they vanished, Jasin plummeted from the sky and collapsed on the deck in human form, the momentum ripping another hole into the wood as he rolled to a stop.

“Jasin!” I called out as I rushed over to him, worried he was injured from the fall or the battle. I reached his side and turned him over, but he only gave me a weary smile.

“It’s nice to know I’m still your favorite.”

“Hardly.” I wasn’t sure whether to smack him upside the head or kiss him senseless, which was pretty normal with Jasin. Instead I sat back on the deck beside him, exhausted after using my magic. No wonder the men trained every day to build their control and their fortitude. If I was ever going to get better with fire, I’d need a lot more practice.

Slade kneeled beside me and rested a hand on my shoulder. “Are you all right?”

I nodded and leaned into his strong touch while gazing across the ship. Our deck was a mess, the wood torn up and splintered, with a few gaping holes in it. There was so much water on the deck, and I couldn’t tell if it was from the elementals or if the ship was taking it on. “I’m fine, but our ship isn’t.”

“I might be able to fix that,” Slade said, his stony eyes surveying the deck.

“We have a bigger problem,” Auric suddenly called out, drawing our attention.

Off the starboard side of the boat a massive wave was forming, created by the remaining water elementals. It was easily as tall as the ship. And it was coming right for us.
