The weight of her words landed on him hard.

Rafe had always been a bad boy, the risk-taker, and the life of the party. Now, he was fighting back tears at the idea of being the father of a tiny whelp who was still incapable of feeding himself.

Jade wrapped an arm around his midsection, holding him close to her as if to comfort him.

The wild emotion and the seductive closeness of his mate and her delicious scent formed a potent compound that erupted inside him.

Suddenly, he was wrapping his other arm around her and pulling her closer. Every cell in his body came to attention. The dragon roared triumphantly in his chest.

He pulled back slightly to look into Jade’s eyes.

Her beautiful azure gaze was hazy with need, though she might not know why she was so weak-kneed.

He opened his mouth to speak, desperate to stake his claim before he did something he couldn’t undo.

But she went up on her toes, pressing her lips to his before he had the chance.

Pleasure shot down his spine and he crushed her to him without meaning to, his hands sliding down the curve of her waist to her full hips and grasping to pull her even tighter against him.

She moaned lightly against his lips.

He took advantage of her open mouth to plunder her with his tongue.

She tasted as sweet as honey, and his need became an agony only her heat could soothe.

He lifted her in his arms, carrying her to her bedroom.

I have to tell her, a tiny voice screamed in the back of his mind.

But the need to have her naked beneath him was too great. It obliterated every other thought and desire.

Placing her on the floor in front of her bed, he reached down to pull her dress over her head.

She wiggled and shimmied to help him, reaching back to release the catch on her bra and letting it fall to the ground.

Rafe fought every urge he had just to drink her in for a moment.

In the pale starlight from the windows, he could see her form was more athletic than he would have expected for a Terran female. She was small and soft, but not entirely breakable.

Her breasts were luscious, pink-tipped confections that he couldn’t wait to devour.

“Take the rest of it off,” he growled. “Get in bed.”

She immediately slid her thumbs under her underthings and peeled them off.

But she left the gloves on her arms.

He was ready to protest when she crawled slowly into the bed, her hips moving in a hypnotic swirl.

You haven’t told her…

He stalked to the bed and crawled in after her. If he couldn’t claim her, he would at least taste and pleasure her. Then, when she was sated, he could offer her a choice that she would be able to make with a clear head.

The scent of her alone was already sending him into a frenzy of unsatisfied need.

Claim her, the dragon screamed.

Rafe lowered his body down beside her, gazing into her eyes to center himself.
