“I’ve been waiting fifteen years. Isn’t that long enough?”
He laughs and pauses, teasing the back of my knee. It’s especially sensitive, making goosebumps raise all over my skin. He notices, skimming his claws over them, and that’s when he really goes for it.
He licks up the inside of my leg, making my skirt puff with every hot breath. He wedges his snout between my thighs and oh-so-delicately nips the edge of my panty elastic, pulling it aside.
And then, oh my fucking god, he slides his strong, slick tongue between my folds. It feels like a wet, warm flame dancing over my sensitive flesh, setting me on fire.
“You like that?” he rumbles without lifting his head, the vibration of his deep voice buzzing through my core, making it clench.
I make a garbled noise of agreement. I can’t even form words.
His claws make short work of the few strings holding my panties together. “You taste incredible.”
“So do you,” I slur, sounding drunk. “That’s not right. Feels incredible. No, wait. You prob’ly taste incredi—oh.” He frictions his tongue against the side of my clit, and I break off. I feel him smile against my pussy. His tail wraps around my good ankle, and then he dives back in.
His tongue is everywhere, licking and flicking, swirling around my clit like he’s trying to taste my soul. But I think my soul has left my body…it’s in heaven right now.
I arch off the bed, body bowing under his focused attention. It’s so good. So perfect. So intense. Everything I dreamed about. Fifteen years of wanting draws my muscles tight with anticipation.
I’m so close. So close. I bite my lip, willing my body to let go, let me slide into the abyss of pleasure that I know is coming.
But even though what Zed’s doing to me is elite, and every teasing glide carrying me to a point that approaches ecstasy, I can’t quite get there. My brain keeps reminding me that I don’t want this to end. Once he leaves this bedroom, this house, he’s going to walk outside into someone else’s destiny.
Why can’t I get out of my head?!
My enjoyment ticks down as my clit gets overstimulated and starts to lose sensation. A little growl of frustration slides out of me, and Zed pauses, lifting his head to check on me.
“Everything okay?”
I avoid his eyes, fixing them on the framed botanical print on the wall behind him. “I’m sorry it’s taking so long. Your neck is probably getting tired.”
“Cari, what are you talking about?”
“Maybe we should just skip ahead and do it? Come up here.” I tug on his shoulders. Maybe I can fill up the hole that just opened inside me with some dragon dick. But I don’t think even two of Zed’s huge dicks could fill the hollow space that’s suddenly appeared.
Damn it, is that a tear leaking out?
I swipe it away, closing my fist around the evidence. But he sees it anyway. Grabs my fist and peels it open, licking away the drop of moisture in my palm.
He tilts his head to the side. “Hm. Sadness. Not my favorite flavor.”
I sniffle and give a soggy laugh. When I don’t say anything else after a few seconds, he pokes me gently in the thigh.
“You’re supposed to ask me what my favorite flavor is.”
“What’s your favorite flavor?” I whisper, already knowing what he’s going to say.
“This pretty pussy.” As if to prove it, he dips his head to sample between my thighs again. The short break has allowed my clit to recover full sensation, and this tongue feels just as good as the first time.
“Ohhh,” I gasp, my head falling back into the pillows.
“That’s right,” he murmurs. “I’d do this all day if you’d let me. All night, too.”
I hiccup a hysterical giggle, picturing it. “That’d be harder than holding hands.”
At that reminder, he reaches up with one hand and grabs mine, squeezing softly. My muscles relax at the reassurance, and a warm rush of pleasure floods through me. Our joined hands pull me out of our guaranteed future-disaster and back into the right-now perfection.
We stay that way, fingers tangled, as Zed sets a rhythm of stroke and swirl that has me shaking and whimpering, begging him for more, right there.Now. And when he bites off his claw and slides a finger inside, I come so hard I see stars.
