Rafe lowered his mouth to suck the nipple into his mouth, cupping the other breast in his hand, his thumb finding the nipple and teasing it.
Her hips were already quivering, and she longed to move and seek him out. But all the time she had spent bound on the ships while burning with want held her stock still out of habit.
Rafe was wolfing at her breasts now. She could feel the throbbing thickness of his cock, pressed against her through his breeches. But he did nothing to free it or to relieve his own lust.
Instead, he trailed hot kisses down her belly and nudged her thighs apart.
She cried out before his mouth even touched her.
Right now, in the present, she knew somehow that he would find a way to bring her relief from this towering need.
But that endless time in captivity had a voice in the back of her head wailing with despair that she was only being teased and tormented again.
Then Rafe was licking and sucking at her folds like a starving man, and sliding a thick finger up to slowly squeeze inside and massage a place inside her that lit up with pleasure at every touch.
“Please,” she begged shamelessly, lifting her hips to meet his mouth.
Instantly, he increased the pressure with his finger while licking her stiff little pearl into his mouth and sucking lightly as he worked it with his tongue.
Jade saw shooting stars behind her eyes as the pleasure flung her skyward and then crashed her down in waves of ecstasy that washed over her again and again, while she screamed out her rapture.
Rafe continued to lick and toy with her until she was fully spent.
When she tried weakly to push him away, he crawled up beside her and pulled her into his arms.
He held her close, panting, and didn’t let go, even when she dissolved into sobs.
“Did I hurt you?” he asked her when her crying finally slowed.
She shook her head.
“It was good,” she told him softly. “I’ll show you.”
But when she reached for the lace of his breeches, he caught her hand in his.
“No,” he told her. “Not tonight.”
“Yes,” she said. “I can’t leave you like this. It’s not right.”
He pulled her close again and stroked her hair soothingly.
“I’m fine,” he told her. “But I need to talk to you about something important before anything else happens between us.”
Fear clamped her heart, but she reminded herself that this was Rafe, who had been nothing but kind to her.
“Did you know that dragons mate for life?” he asked her. “When a dragon finds his true mate, he would die for her. And once she allows him to claim her, he can never love another.”
“I—I thought that was just in the holo-films,” she said stupidly, trying to follow his train of thought.
“It’s not just in the holo-films,” he chuckled. “Though I am now anxious to watch a Terran holo-film about dragons. No, it’s real. And it is forever. How do you feel about that?”
“About you finding a true mate?” she asked, trying to catch up.
Her body was awash with bliss, and she felt so sleepy.
“How do you feel about being my mate?” he said carefully.
She blinked up at him.
