The Taste of Seduction

Her head was resting on his shoulder, and her long hair was splayed out on the pillow. They both look content and happy, their faces relaxed in slumber.

The room was quiet except for the gentle sound of their breathing and the distant chatter of birds outside the window.

It was a moment of perfect tranquility and intimacy, the start of their new life together as mates.

Meredith fidgeted in her sleep. Clearly she was having a nightmare.

In the nightmare, Meredith was standing on the edge of a vast and barren wasteland. The sky was dark and stormy, and the wind was howling around her.

Suddenly, she heard a deafening roar, and she saw a massive dragon flying towards her.

The dragon was covered in black scales, and its eyes were glowing red.

Meredith tried to run, but her feet were rooted to the ground. She could only watch as the dragon got closer and closer.

The dragon landed in front of her and let out a deafening roar.

Meredith could feel the dragon\'s hot breath on her face, and she could see the dragon\'s razor-sharp teeth glinting in the darkness.

The dragon opened its mouth, and Meredith could see a ball of fire forming in its throat.know that this is the end.

Just as the dragon was about to unleash the ball of fire, Meredith woke up, drenched in sweat, her heart pounding in her chest. She sat up in bed, gasping for breath, and looked around the room.

She felt strong, warm arms wrap around her waist from behind. Atlas pressed a kiss on the back of her shoulder and she let out a sigh of comfort and she closed her eyes.

She tried to shake off the lingering memory of the nightmare that had just woken her.

"Are you okay?" he asked softly. Meredith nodded, her heart still racing. "Just a nightmare," she said.

Atlas pulled her closer to him and held her tightly, his arms encircling her in a protective embrace.

Meredith felt safe and secure in his embrace, her fear and anxiety slowly dissipating. He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead and whispered, "I\'m here, I\'ve got you."

Meredith relaxed, feeling the weight of the nightmare slowly lifting from her shoulders. Atlas held her close, his warmth and love enveloping her.

"Do you want to talk about the nightmare?" He questioned.

Meredith frowned. Why was she dreaming about dragons now? She thought her mom had sealed all of them in the portal?

"I can\'t—it\'s hard to understand what I saw. Just a feeling of impending doom. Like something bad is about to happen.." She whispered, a shiver running along her spine.

She didn\'t want to make Atlas worried so she decided to hide what she saw.

She will tell Austin and see what he has to say about her dream.

Atlas frowned, "Don\'t worry love, whatever that would happen I will be by your side."

He whispered as held her against him with one arm, while his other hand gently toyed with loose strands of her hair.

Meredith nodded, "Okay." She replied.

They didn\'t speak for awhile. He simply held her, and continued to lightly brush his fingers through her hair.

She pushed the bad dream out of her mind and tried to forget about it.

"I\'m going to the bathroom." Meredith muttered as she untangled herself from him.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Atlas grinned at her and propped up on one elbow, with a lopsided smile on his face.

"No I\'m going to pee unless you want to pee too?" She asked as she put on her pajama shorts and top.

His grin widened, and he shrugged,

"I was thinking about doing something better than peeing in the bathroom."

Meredith rolled her eyes at him, "Pervert."

"Oh come on Angel, you know you love me. Especially when I\'m all kinky. I haven\'t tried piss kinky before maybe-"

Meredith tried to disguise her laughter with a scoff. Her face morphing in disgust,

"Absolutely not!" She jumped to her feet, smiling like a fool, and threw her pillow at him before she darted into the washroom.

The sound of his deep chuckling followed her out of the room, and she shut the washroom door with more force than was necessary.

After she finished she decided to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Meredith frowned, narrowing her eyes at her reflection in the mirror. It was hard getting used to her new face.

She couldn\'t help but get worried that her brother wouldn\'t recognise her if he saw her.

At least Sofia was an adult so it wouldn\'t be hard to explain all of this magic thing to her.

Meredith sighed, she had finished brushing her teeth and washing her face when she heard Atlas open the bathroom door

She caught Atlas\' reflection in the mirror as he came up behind her when he walked into the bathroom and that\'s all the warning she had before he took hold of her hips; turning her and hoisting her up to sit on the counter.

Meredith gave him a partially stunned, and partially confused look over why he did that but he just ran his palms up her thighs to let his fingertips rest under the fabric of her pajamas shorts.

He was still shirtless, but thankfully had slipped his pants on and his hair was still messy.

He tilts his head, with a lopsided smile, "Hey are you feeling better now?"

"You mean better than having you buried inside me?"

Atlas chuckled, "Hmm." he leaned in, puckering his lips and tapping his finger against them with an expectant look.

He was so handsome, it was hard to believe at times that such a man belonged to her.

\'Believe it love, I\'m all yours.\'

It took her a moment to realize that he\'d sent his thought into her mind. Hid voice was different yet sounded just the same as him just softer.

Meredith blinked in shock. She opened her mouth but it remained soundless as she pointed a finger at him.

Looking at the shock on her face, Atlas threw his head back and laughed.

Meredith would\'ve have smacked him in the chest if she hadn\'t been so distracted by how handsome he looked.

It\'s been so long since she had seen him laugh like this. He looked so happy and she knew it was because finally she was his.

His mate. And nothing or no one could separate them.
