My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 73

Lily

She pictured Lukes in her mind and let their link open. She took a deep breath in, smiling.

Lukas, she called softly to him.

The space around her shifted and she opened her eyes. Lukas stood in front of her, eyeing her like he always did when he first showed up. He opened his arms and she flew across the few feet that separated them to wrap her arms around his waist. She buried her face in his chest, breathing his scent in. He chuckled and the vibrations moving through his chest sent sparks racing along her skin. His arms went around her and he held her tightly.

“What do you want to do today, Lily?”

She didn’t answer him immediately. She knew what she wanted to do, but Gemma was going to be mad. She had begged Lily not to say anything to Lokas about her fear. She tipped her head back to search his face. He always walted so patiently for her to decide what they were going to do. It was always her choice, but today she wanted to do something he would enjoy, too. She hoped his joy would relax Gemma

“Do you think we can fly?”

“Of course. Are you riding today or are you gonna fly by yourself?

“1. ummmm… I want Gemma to fully shift”

Gemma pushed forward, growling. “NO! I TOLD YOU I DIDN’T WANT TO DO THAT!”

Elly ignored her. “Gemma is afhold. We’ve only partially shifted, since our first time. Gemma is afraid of falling like we did the first time. I tried to explain her that for our first shift she did really well and with why we shifted, it was–“–

ser around and lifted her arms out. “You’re wrong. Gemma. This is your first time shifting,” he whispered in her ear.

He turned her

He wrapped his arm around her waist and his other one stretched our to link their fingers together. He let Gideon’s onyx scales cover his arm.

“Nice and slow, Gemma,” he murmured, burying his face in her hair. “Just let your instincts guide you. I got you. We’re right here with you.”

Lily took a deep breath and pulled Gemma forward. She could feel her hesitation,

Gemma, let him heal you like he heated me.”

Gemma leaned back against him and let her scales cover her body starting with her arm and spreading out and down. He kissed her neck as he slowly backed away. He came back a moment later and covered her body with his enormous wings. Gideon’s warm body nuzzled into her.

Let your body go, Gemma. Let your limbs get longer, thicker, wider. Let me see your beautiful face,” Gideon encouraged inside their head.

She took a deep breath and let herself grow heavier. Seconds later, she was pushing herself up off the ground as Gideon backed away. Gemma raised her head, mervously. Gideon slowly walked around her, nudging her and licking along her body. She turned to watch him as he took in her dragon form. She shifted

nervously on her paws.

‘So, umm, what do you think?”

He come back

ck up to her head and nuzzled against her neck. I think you are just as perfect now as you are when you’re human.”

Lily smiled inside Gemma’s head. She always took such joy in his compliments. He was always ready to give one and he was so genuine with them. Gemma tilted her head.

“So, what now?”

“We Py.”

“What if I fall again“?”

Gideon licked her snout “Then I will catch you, I will

I will always catch you.”

She hesitated, unsure. Lily wrapped her arms around Gemma.

“Let him heal us,” she begged.

席

She opened her wings , before closing them back. “Can we just walk?”

“Sure.”

Gideon took off walking and Gemma followed. He began to dance around her, brushing against her and setting off electricity inside of her. She nipped at him, but he darted away, before coming back and gently pushing her with his body. She stopped walking to watch him approach her again. He went to bump into her again when she sidestepped which sent him rolling on the ground.

She quickly climbed on top of him with her pay on his chest. She stared down at him and for a moment the entire world stood still. She leaned down to lick along his neck, stopping at his hottom lip. He laid still, letting her do what she wanted. Lily’s anxiety rose and Gemma Mcked him once more before, flapping her wings and lifting into the sky. She looked down and he was gone. She panicked and began to search the air for him. She looked above herself and let out a sigh of relief when he was flying upside down over her. She craned her neck back, watching him curiously.

‘How do you do that?

He rolled over and around her. ‘Roll over and flop your wings the opposite way.

She nervously ripped her wings, before

before shaking her head. I’m scared,‘ she admitted.

He moved under her until her stomach rested on his back. Roll over and flap your wings. Igor you.”

She licked her snout natously, before slowly rolling over. She flapped her wings while she let him hold her up. Her body slowly lifted up until she was flying upside down a few feet above him. He slowly dropped lower until he could roll around her to My above her with his head hanging down to watch her.

“You are so beautiful,” he whispered.

Her heart sped up and her wings faltered. She started plummeting towards the ground and she let out an curious roar. Gideon angled his body down towards her and wrapped his wings around her.

She clawed at him, panicked.

They rolled in the air and she squeezed her eyes shut. Gemma pulled back and Lily was thrust forward, shifting forcibly back into her human form. He shifted back, too, and they hit the ground rolling. The softness they landed on molded around their bodies until they came to a stop. He looked down at her.

“Are you okay?”

She nodded, smiling. “Can we do that again?”

He laughed, relaxing. She reached up to trace his lips and his laugh was immediately cut off. He tilted his head back down to her. She let her fingers trail across his face to allow her arm to wind around his neck. She pulled his face down towards hers and slowly let her lips meet his. He licked at her lips, watching her face closely

Her mouth opened and he let his tongue enter slowly. Her hands moved down his body and he bent her leg up, before placing his hands on either side of her head. She lifted her hips and he began to gently push against her core.

“So, this is the famous Lukas that has stolen your heart.”

Lukas pulled away from her and she shot straight up. She stared up at the hooded figure standing next to a man with blonde hair and hazel eyes.

She raised her hands to lower her hood. “My name is not Cora. It’s Layla” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lily jumped to her feet to run over to her. She threw her arms around her.

“Mom,”

She nuzzled into Lily, before pulling away. She gestured to the man standing there watching them.

“This is your father, sweetheart.”

She pulled him closer to hug him, too. She glanced at Lukas who was watching with his teeth bared, prepared to jump in at any moment if she needed him. She

went back to his side to take his hand. She hugged him forward.

“Mom, Dad,

d, this is Lukas. My mate,” she said, blushing.

Her father held out his hand. Tm-

Sterling materialized in front of them and he immediately sung on Lukas who pivoted to avoid his blow

“DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA WHAT I WAS DOING?”

Lily’s mother laughed. “I do believe yo

you were screwing my

my sister.”

Sterling turned towards them. “Sister? You’re Lily’s mother?,” he asked, turning a few shades lighter. Her mother held out her hand and he shook it. “I’m Sterling-”

Her father stepped forward with his hand out. “My daughter’s adoptive father.”

He shook her father’s hand, before massaging the back of his own neck. “Who called me?”

Lily’s mother titted her head. “I did.”

“Why?”

She met Lily’s eyes. “Because our daughter hasn’t been fully honest with you guys.”
