“Stay where you are.”
She was about to protest when he pressed his lips to her neck, kissing the tender skin where he’d bitten her. He slid his hand up her belly to her breast, then moaned as she pressed closer.
He kneaded her breast, working his way to the tip. “I love how you respond to me. Your nipple is already hard and waiting. Makes me wonder what other parts of you are anxious for my attention.”
With nothing more than a small kiss and his warm hand, her body pulsed to life. “All of me.” She wasn’t ashamed to admit her need, even if she was, denying it would be useless. With his dragon’s sensitive nose, he’d be able to smell her desire, just like she could his. It was intoxicating knowing that her mate wanted her just as much as she wanted him.
“Let’s see then, shall we?” The second he lifted the leg still pinning her down, she missed its weight. She wanted to burrow closer to him, not put space between them. Stella held her breath when he released her breast and slid his hand down her belly. His cock jerked against her ass. She moaned and spread her thighs open a little wider, needing whatever it was he was giving.
“That’s right. I want you to open yourself up for me.”
Instead of going straight for her pussy, he slid his palm down her thigh, then lifted her leg to drape it over his bent knee, exposing her completely. “Look how beautiful you are. How wet you are. And I haven’t even touched you yet.” He smoothed his fingertips down her inner thigh, pausing just inches from where she needed his touch most.
“Brycen…”
“Look. I want you to see it. See how much you want me. Watch me love your body.”
Until then, she hadn’t noticed the large mirror in front of her, or that she was on full display. When she met his gaze in the reflection, she saw the pure lust, the possessiveness in the depths of his eyes, and her heart pounded. She was his. He was hers.
He pressed his lips to her neck, kissing the deep red spot he had left with his bite, then scraped his teeth against it. Moving his fingers in small circles on her inner thigh, he brought her attention to that spot. Heat curled inside her, then settled on her clit, making it throb. When his fingers finally slid between her parted folds, Stella moaned, closed her eyes, and thrust her hips forward, wanting more.
Brycen’s fingers stopped moving. “Keep your eyes open. Watch what I’m doing. I want to see them when you come for me.”
When she did as he asked, he stroked her clit again, circling over and around it until she could hardly lay still. She concentrated on keeping her eyes open, on watching his fingers, shiny with her arousal, teasing her.
“More than six months without an orgasm. I bet you’re ready for another one, aren’t you?”
She opened her mouth to respond, but that’s when he chose to slip not one, but two fingers inside her, and her mind went blank. Her pussy clenched around him, and she moaned at the invasion. Each time his fingers disappeared into her body she held her breath until they skimmed across the tender spot inside her that made her whole body tremble. She wanted more—needed more. Wanting to feel the hard length of his cock sliding in her palm, she reached behind her, but he stopped her with a growl.
“This is for you, Stella. Last night, we took care of the dragon. Now, I want to take care of my woman. Let me do that.” Even as he caught her gaze in the mirror, his fingers continued to plunge inside her. He moved faster, rubbing against that spot over and over. Brycen brought his lips to her neck again, kissing her mark, nipping at the skin, then licking it. The sensation had her gasping for air and the muscles in her thighs trembling. “Are you ready to come for me, little dragon?” he whispered into her ear just before he used his thumb to stroke across her clit.
A wave of heated pleasure rushed through her, and she cried out. She met his gaze in the mirror, unwilling to look away as he sent her flying higher and higher. He thrust faster and harder, swiping his thumb across her clit. She wanted to hold out, to make it last, but when he put his lips to her neck again, she was lost. One final nip on her skin and she shattered around his fingers. It took everything in her to keep her eyes open. Brycen gentled his thrusts as she came down from her climax. Only once her breathing slowed, and the spasms rocking her core subsided did he pull his fingers from her body. She watched as he brought them up to his lips and tasted her.
***
Never in his life had Brycen seen anything hotter than Stella having an orgasm. When she came around his fingers, it had taken all his strength not to turn her over and fuck her fast and hard. Not that he thought she would have minded, in fact, he would have made sure she loved every second of it, but he couldn’t focus on his own needs. Stella, and making sure she gained the ability to shift, had to be his one and only priority. Once the she-dragon was satisfied, he could take all the time in the world to explore his mate and fuck her every way until Sunday. And he would. Jace and the others would have to do without him for however long it took, and from the looks of it, it might take a while.
