“Do you need help getting yours off?
* * *
He loomed over her, his eyes beguiling, never looking more like a beast trapped in a man’s body than he did right now. She perceived a change in him that was almost primitive, and she wondered if she was being reckless. Then golden hues dripped into his aura, an exquisite metallic gleam that was almost hypnotic. Meanwhile, a savage intensity shadowed his features and his nostrils flared, his heated gaze traveling her body.
She knew lust in its purest form could muddle the mind, banishing all rational thought. She felt its effects herself. Her body was responding to his powerful form, her nipples budding, heat pooling in her core.My God, the way he’s looking at me.Like she was the most ravishing woman he’d ever laid eyes on. Like he wanted to devour her. She could luxuriate in his gaze forever. Yet there was something ferocious behind that look that sparked some reservations.
What if dragon shifters were accustomed to next-level sex, becoming more like beasts needing to rut than lovers wanting to please? What if she couldn’t handle him?
When she’d had his growing erection against her backside, she could tell how well-endowed he was. The term was an understatement. A shudder of apprehension settled over her. “Um, maybe we should hold up—”
He closed his fist around her ankle and dragged her under his imposing form. “I knew it. You aim to tease me. To tempt me. Then to deny me?” His voice was more like a growl.
“That’s not what I—”
“You wish only to taunt me. To defy me. To test my control.”
“No. That’s not—”
“I hold onto it by a thread.” He took in several heaving breaths, intensely searching her gaze. She was frozen, unsure what to say or do. His aura suddenly shifted, swirling with shades of blue and yellow. Then he closed his eyes and, as if consolidating all his might, released her. “If you don’t want this, best run from me now, or I might take you here on this cold floor, like a savage.”
She sucked in a breath, suddenly nervous. But his voice hadn’t been harsh. It was guttural and brittle. Before he averted his gaze, she thought she saw apprehension cloud his eyes.
“I doona want to hurt you,” he added.
She recalled him crushing her gun like it was made of paper. He was an ancient being of immense power, she a mere mortal. Was she insane for wanting this? He was so much bigger than her. A mouse might desire a snake, but could it withstand the full force of a snake’s love?
And yet, so far he’d done everything in his power not to harm her. To be gentle. Even when she infuriated him. And because of that, she found it difficult to fear him.
When the heat began fading from his eyes, she reached up to cup his cheek. “Orik. I just got a little nervous, but I know you won’t hurt me.”
He blinked, briefly losing the harshness in his features. Then his glower returned. He reached up to fist the nape of her neck. “You should have left while you had the chance.”
Though his actions were aggressive, she only grew more aroused. “Will you just shut up and kiss me?”
With a groan, he dragged her lips to his. His tongue probed past her lips, plundering her mouth. Crushed beneath him, her only option was to take his might. This was not a seductive kiss. This was a warning. Perhaps to scare her into retreating, but it had the complete opposite effect. High octane lust fired through her veins.
Breaking the kiss, he snarled. “Still believe I would no’ hurt you?” His irises flared green, sparkling with menace…and barely leashed hunger. “Tell me to back away.” His words were a plea without conviction.
She panted, her body sizzling with excitement. She gripped him by the collar. “All you’re doing is turning me on.”
Thunderstruck, his nostrils flared, and he drew deeply of her scent. The green in his eyes flared brighter. “Reckless female. Turn over,” he bit out. “Now.”
“What?”
Without warning, he flipped her body, positioning her on her knees facing away from him. Did he intend to take her like this? She wasn’t sure how she felt about—
Whack!
She hissed in a breath. Motherfucker just slapped her on the ass. “Ow!”
Whack!
The bastard did it again! “What the—”
Whack!
“—fuck! You son of a bitch!”
