Dragnovic Gardens

“Omega, are you alright? Talk to me, please.”

“Shh Adam. I’m sleeping.” I feel like we’ve had this conversation before. Many times.

“Echo, you need to wake up right now.”

“No.”

“I bit you…” He chokes. “I fuckin’ bit you.”

“Bonded me. Yes, you did.” I nuzzle further into the softness beneath me. It’s chilly out here. Out here? Yes, we’re outside. Not without shelter though, no. The shelter I provided. I will always provide. “I asked you to.”

“Fuck that. Echo, need you here with me, baby.” His voice is hoarse, ragged from the rattling and the roaring he did all day and night. He fucked me sideways and I’m ready to sleep for the next seven nights — days, too. He was ruthless and relentless. Never seen him look like that before, with such mania in his eyes, such desperation. But there was devotion there, too.

He kept talking about the flowers. And every time he whispered the word, I felt more and more flowers bloom around us, not surrounding us like the cocoon, but attempting to blot out the sky. It became my job — my whole job — to ruin the world with petals, like the rubble of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. I didn’t call on any powers, I didn’t summon any gifts. I just…breathed. Adored and let myself be adored. Adorned and let myself be adorned. I forgot about hate. No, I didn’t forget it. I left it outside the gates.

I breathe and I hear the sounds of life flowering around me. My Berserker’s voice hitches, like it’s done already so many times. I hear him sniffle and grin, but I’m still unwilling to open my eyes, even to see my big bad Berserker in tears. “Are you crying?”

“Berserkers don’t cry. Now get up, Echo. Not gonna ask again.”

“You gonna order me?” I wait. A lot hangs on this moment.

But he doesn’t miss a beat and says, “Nah. Gonna tickle you.” His fingers dig into my sides and I yelp at the unexpected sensation.

I scream bloody murder and bat at his hands.

“Jesus Christ.”

I open my eyes and my Berserker lies flat on his back, his arms out to either side, strapped to the ground at the wrist by heavy black vines. They’re as thick as snakes and frightening. I start away from them and Adam’s eyes crinkle. He laughs. “Can’t be scared a’ shit you fuckin’ created.” He lifts up using his stomach muscles alone and all the vines, even as big as they are, snap. He reaches for my face and cups my cheek, tilting my head to the side so he can see my neck. “You…y’aren’t bleeding.”

His thick eyebrows come together and the concerned expression makes my lust flare. I shove on his shoulders with both hands until he lies flat in the bright green grasses. They’re high. Overgrown. Lush and unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Grass like this doesn’t grow in the bogs of Paradise Hole. His eyes explode with starlight as I lithely swing one leg over his hips and then reach between my thighs for his length.
