Damn, he was already thinking of her as his. While he tried to read his book, he kept thinking about her soft, warm body. Her flashing brown eyes, passionate and intriguing. She’d be curled up under the covers now. Would she be thinking of them as she had before? He didn’t mind-intrude nearly as often as Ran. But her lustful thoughts toward them were so obvious that one didn’t need to be a mind reader to catch on.
Her beautiful dark eyes said it all. He was painfully hard at the thought of giving her everything she seemed to want. But he’d already decided not to rush into things, and he wouldn’t let a tempting little female change that for him.
He let out a hoarse sigh that drew Ran’s attention. But then Ran cocked his head and looked at the door curiously. “Did you hear that?”
“Hear what?” Draven asked.
“I swear I heard footsteps, but they stopped outside the door.”
Draven’s heart pounded. Could she really have come? She’d have to be incredibly adventurous.
Or incredibly horny.
Ran gave him a triumphant look as he got up to answer the door.
Draven picked up the book and studied it, trying not to listen. Even if she was here, he was determined not to participate. He was a dragon who didn’t bond easily, but he knew sex would speed that along. And he didn’t want to bond again until he knew it was with their true mate.
The one that would last forever.
Ran opened the door. “Melissa. I’m so glad you came.”
Draven looked up to see Ran send him a devilish glance as he let Melissa in, and Draven turned quickly away.
But not before he saw her flushed face, her wide eyes.
This mortal was in way over her head. He thought he would perhaps let Ran play with her first, and if that didn’t scare her away, perhaps they could trust things to move a little further.
“I’m glad you found what we bought for you,” Ran said, his voice husky, making Draven want to turn around and see what he was looking at. “You look beautiful. Truly perfect for a first time.”
“My first time,” she said quietly. “I mean, I’ve used dildos and such. I think it’ll be fine, but…”
Draven bit the inside of his cheek. “Damn.”
He could feel them turn their attention on him, but ignored them, burying his nose in his book. He wasn’t going to be a part of this. Not tonight, when everyone seemed hell bent on ignoring common sense.
But he could scent her. The sweetest smell in the world, delicate and floral and feminine. Damn, how long had it been? He adjusted his crossed legs, trying to deal with the fact that he was painfully hard.
But her first time—with two dragons? He suppressed a growl deep inside him. Did he even know how to be gentle with a virgin? He’d never thought about having one. That was something dragons were into in the Middle Ages…
“I’m sorry if I…” She trailed off, and he could feel her gaze on him, probably self-conscious because he was blatantly ignoring her.
“Not at all. Come in. I promised you adventure after all,” Ran said easily as Draven heard footsteps moving toward the bed. He tried to resist looking but couldn’t help sneaking a peak to see Ran leading their curvy little mate toward the large bed in the middle of the room. He helped her climb up, and Draven caught a peek of gorgeous little blue panties on a curvaceous, amazing ass that just begged for his hands.
Damn, he was hard. And aching to touch her. She looked so small in the middle of the bed as Ran gently nudged the thin silky straps of her negligee over her shoulder, exposing gorgeous, soft skin to their eyes.
Ran’s eyes met his, glowing in the dim light of the room, a challenge lit within. They’d always enjoyed pleasuring a woman together, on the rare occasions they’d had one.
But this was different. His body ached to be there, touching her, taking her with Ran, becoming one with her. Ran put an arm around her and drew her close to him. She let out a gasp as Ran gently nipped and sucked the skin at the base of her neck, keeping his eyes locked on Draven’s, inviting him—no, challenging him to come forward.
But Draven stayed glued to his chair. He hadn’t yet lost control of himself, and he didn’t intend to. Even if her soft sighs as Ran caressed her back and kissed his way to her ear drove Draven to distraction.
Then Ran slipped the negligee lower, down to settle around her generous hips. Draven let out a growl as Ran’s hands came up in front of her, presumably to cup her breasts, which would be full and delicious.
Draven was definitely a breast guy.
“Mmm, Draven, you sure you don’t want to come over here? These are a prime pair of—”
Ran was cut off by a low growl that came from Draven without him even being conscious of releasing it. Those were his breasts. The breasts were always his. Ran knew that, dammit.
