Finding His Dragon (Dragon Blood Book 3) (7 page)

“That sounds good,” she whispered as she pressed closer, her lips grazing his. His nearness alone had her body heating and her blood pumping hot in her veins. He’d taken the edge off of her need in the bar parking lot, but now that she was healing, her body demanded more. Desire rolled through her in sensual waves, igniting her further. The dragon already knew her mate could take care of those needs, and was pushing for more.

With a groan, he put a hand behind her neck and pulled her the rest of the way. She parted her lips, eager for his invasion. The blanket she’d been wrapped in slipped to her waist. Jace leaned into her, pushing her back until he had her pinned to the mattress. Catching her bottom lip between his teeth, he gave it a little tug before kissing down her neck, and to the valley between her breasts. Her nipples pebbled, and she arched her back.

“So beautiful,” he said before he caught her nipple between his lips and sucked it in. He used the tip of his tongue to flick the tip, making her moan before sucking it harder.

She tunneled her fingers through his hair, holding him in place even though he showed no indication of going anywhere. The shiver rushing down her spine had nothing to do with the cold air, and everything to do with the man, and what he was doing to her.
Jolts of pleasure shot through her, heading straight for her clit, making it throb. “Jace, please,” she pleaded as she thrust her hips up, needing more contact.

When he pulled back, his eyes were darker, stormier, making her dragon purr. His beast was enjoying itself as much as hers was. She gave his hair a little tug, trying to get him to climb back up her body, but he grinned and shook his head. With his eyes locked onto hers, he licked his way down her belly.

“This thing has been driving me wild since I first saw it.” He tongued her navel ring, flicking it from one side to the other.

Charlotte moaned as another wave of pleasure crashed over her. “I need you, Jace. Now.” She tried to move, tried to get into a position where she could reach the snap of his jeans, but he held her hips pinned to the bed.

“I’m not done yet,” he chided, before nipping at the skin right next to her belly ring. He circled the jewel once more before moving lower. With her ass at the edge of the bed, he knelt on the floor, draping her legs over his wide shoulders. He looked up at her and licked his lips. His hot breath fanned her throbbing flesh. When he turned his head and scraped his chin against her inner thigh, she almost came undone. She needed him so much, and he knew it.

“What do you want, Charlotte?”

She tried to thrust forward, but he had his hands on her hips, holding her to the bed. “I want you to lick me. So much,” she said. She wasn’t the type to beat around the bush. He had what she needed, and she was going to get it.

His eyes darkened some more, and he took a long, slow breath while she held hers. When his tongue finally traced her tingling flesh, she moaned and bucked up against his mouth. Jace groaned and stiffened before finally giving in. He circled her clit with his tongue, once, twice, then pulled it between his lips. The soft suction grew stronger, making her shudder against him. If he didn’t stop, she wasn’t going to last long.

“Jace, please, I won’t last,” she said, her voice ragged, her breaths coming in short little pants.

He growled against her, the vibration sending pleasure streaking through her body. She cried out as she tried to keep from shattering so soon. He released her hip, only to thrust first one, then two fingers into her. Charlotte moaned and clutched the bedding beneath her, squeezing her eyes shut tight. It was too much, yet not enough. When he growled again, she was lost. He plunged his fingers inside her over and over, finding that sweet spot that had her seeing stars with every thrust. His lips and tongue lashed at her clit. She couldn’t keep still. Thrusting her hips, she took the pleasure he offered.

He pulled back, and she whimpered at the loss. When he didn’t come right back to her, she opened her eyes to look at him. His lips and chin were wet, and he grinned up at her. “Keep your eyes open. I want to see you as you come for me,” he commanded.

He thrust into her faster, harder, curling his fingers a little bit more. She moaned and would have thrown her head back had he not ordered her to look. He brought his tongue back to her clit, flicking it, then circling it over and over. Every muscle in her body tensed. She couldn’t catch her breath. When his teeth grazed the side of her clit, she cried out. Her fingernails dug into the fabric of his comforter, but she couldn’t stop. Waves of pleasure coursed through her, each one cresting higher than the last. He took her clit between his lips, sucking hard, before closing his teeth around it gently.

Her pussy clenched and released around his fingers. He gave her a final growl, and she shattered. “Oh, God, Jace…” she screamed as she came, holding his gaze the entire time.

“Fuck, that was sexy,” he said, his voice rough, as he scooped her up in his arms.

“Where are we going?” she asked, still breathless.

“I was running you a bath. The tub has been overflowing for a bit. I better clean that up before someone comes knocking,” he nipped at her chin, then gave her a quick kiss as he brought her to the bathroom and deposited her into the hot tub.

Jace threw some towels down onto the floor, soaking up most of the water before balling them up in his hands. He leaned over, giving her a quick kiss. “I’ll be right back.” Then before she had a chance to say anything he was gone. After a few minutes, she wondered if he was coming back. The water felt incredible, and she didn’t want to get out, but she would have preferred having him in there with her. She let herself sink all the way to her chin, and closed her eyes. Could she make a home for herself in Glen Farley with Jace?

If they were to defeat Adrian when he came looking, they would need more than a couple of male dragons, a female, and one human woman who was blind. They’d get decimated. What she’d seen of the estate was huge. If she were lucky, the clan was bigger than those she’d met.

She heard the soft click of the bedroom door, and then footsteps approaching the bathroom. Using her toes, she pulled the plug on the tub, letting some water out.

“What are you doing?” Jace asked as he came in with toiletries and fresh towels in his arms. “You’ve only been in there a few minutes.”

She nibbled on her bottom lip and sat up straighter, showing him how much room there was in the huge tub, then let the plug fall back into place. “Making room. Now the water will stay in the tub when you join me.”

Jace handed her a bottle of shampoo and conditioner as well as some soap, then set the towels down on a shelf. Reaching back, he grabbed his shirt behind his neck and pulled the T-shirt up and off, giving her a gorgeous view of his hard chest. Charlotte sat back, trailing her fingertips down from her neck to her breasts.

Jace watched as she stroked her beautiful body, wishing it were his tongue on her soft skin
before reaching for his belt. He took his time, sliding it off, then letting it fall to the floor at his feet. The snap came next, then finally the zipper. She didn’t avert her gaze, didn’t try to hide her interest as she licked her lips. He was still half hard from their earlier play, and the look she gave him took him the rest of the way. She was the sexiest damned woman he’d ever met. She knew what she wanted, and she didn’t shy away from it. There were no guessing games with Charlotte, something he could appreciate.

“What are you waiting for, mate?” she asked, as she nodded toward his groin. “I want to see the goods.”

“Oh you do, do you?” He hooked his thumbs in the waistband and lowered his jeans a couple of inches. The warm air teased the head of his cock which was now poking out the top.

She licked her lips again.

“More?”

“More,” she said with no hesitation.

He went a little further, exposing more of himself, and she leaned forward. He held his breath as she took her hand from the water and reached for him. Her wet finger circled the head, then slid down what he’d exposed of his shaft before she pulled her hand back.

“Don’t you want to join me?” she asked as she tweaked her right nipple.

Jace groaned. Fuck the slow tease. He needed to be inside her—now. He pulled his jeans the rest of the way off, tossing them into the corner. Charlotte scooted forward, clearing more space for him behind her. When she settled her ass against his aching cock, he moaned. He wasn’t supposed to be fucking her senseless today. She was still healing. But damn if she didn’t make it impossible to keep from touching her.

She wiggled against him making his cock jerked beneath her. “I think I got the angle wrong,” she said as she shifted her body. She gripped the edges of the tub and stood, putting her weight down on her good leg. He steadied her with his hands as she turned to face him.

When she lowered herself, she took his lips in a kiss that had his heart pounding. Her small hand gripped his cock as she sank the rest of the way, impaling herself on him as she sat. Her mouth fell open, and she gasped, then smiled as she ground herself against him. “Much better.”

“Much,” he agreed, unable to say more. If she kept up with the slow circles on his cock, he was going to blow way before he wanted to.

Pulling her forward, he caught one nipple in his mouth, sucking harder when the tiny muscles strangling his cock tightened around him. He did the same to the other. Her soft moans made his cock throb. He already knew she was vocal when she came, and the anticipation of hearing her was almost as good as the slow ride she was taking.

Her voice hitched when she slid up and came back down, rubbing her clit against his pelvis.
“Want me to go faster, Jace? Want me to fuck you faster? Make you come inside me?”

His fingers dug into her ass, and he moaned again. Her words alone nearly threw him over the edge. “Fuck, yes.”

With her hands on his shoulders, she lifted her hips, then brought them down before doing the grinding circle. He brought his hands up to her breasts, squeezing them together before flicking his tongue over the hard peaks. Her breath hissed out from between her teeth as she threw her head back.

She moved faster, lifting, dropping, then circling, before starting over. Her breathy signs and moans had his balls so tight he didn’t know how much longer he’d be able to hold on. He brought a hand down between them and pressed two fingers onto her clit. She faltered, but only for a second. With his fingers there, she didn’t have to pause for the grind. She lifted and lowered, up and down, over and over. His jaw ached as he fought to keep his pointed teeth from poking through his gums. The water sloshed with her movements, her breasts bouncing in front of him, and he wanted a taste, so bad, but more than that, he wanted her neck.
Mate her now,
the dragon roared inside him.
Make her ours.

He groaned and pressed his lips to her shoulder, closing his eyes tight. Not biting her was going to be harder than keeping himself from coming.

“Do it,” she whispered in his ear. “Do it now.”

He shook his head, but already his teeth were poking through. “Can’t. Heat,” hopefully she’d understand what he wasn’t able to articulate.

“I’ve already claimed you. I know what I want. I want this.” She lowered her mouth to the spot where she’d bitten him and nipped at his skin. That spot, more than any other was like an on switch for the dragon. His growl erupted from him, but still he held back.

She moved faster, sliding up and down his cock, rubbing her clit against his fingers. She fisted his hair and crushed his lips beneath hers, sliding her tongue over his sharp teeth. It wasn’t much, but the sweet coppery flavor of her blood in his mouth had his dragon surging forward. She pulled away, then with a strength he hadn’t anticipated, she pulled him so that his mouth was flush against the base of her neck. “Do it. Bite me. Make me yours, damn it,” she growled.

Unable to deny either of them, he did. Her soft flesh gave way to his teeth as he gave her the claiming bite. His blood pounded through him fast and hard. Her movements became jerky as she moved faster and faster. With her head thrown back, and her fingernails digging into his shoulders, she came all over him. The tiny muscles inside her squeezed his cock hard, milking him until he couldn’t hold back. He released her shoulder and roared as he let go, filling her with his seed.

Charlotte slumped against him, her head resting on his shoulder. He stroked his fingers up and down her spine. He should have waited to claim her, but did he regret it? Hell no. It wouldn’t have mattered if he’d claimed her or not. There was no way he would let her go.

They didn’t move until the water started cooling, and then only to wash each other with the scented soap he had gotten for her in the village that morning. He’d probably get razzed by the guys when they smelled him, but he didn’t care. It was more than worth it. By the time he had her out of the tub and toweled dry, her eyes were half closed.

“Let’s get you tucked into bed,” he said as he scooped her up into his arms.

“You know I can walk, right?” she asked with a giggle.

“I know, but I like carrying you. You may never get to walk again.”

“What’s all that?” she asked when she spotted the shopping bags on the bed.

He’d forgotten he’d set those there before joining her in the tub. “I went and got a few things for you while you were sleeping this morning. I figured you’d want something new. We can go shopping and get you the things you want once you’re better.”
