Reawakening the Dragon Read online

  She was close.

  Pressing against his head, she ordered him to finish it. Kai growled as he thrust two fingers into her pussy. He bit her clit hard and she cried out as pleasure shot through her body. With each spasm she dug her nails into Kai’s scalp a little more.

  When she finally came down from her high, Kai removed his fingers and his head lifted from between her legs. He murmured, “Look at me.”

  Jane opened her eyes to see Kai’s slitted pupils and his eyes full of desire. “Hi, dragonman.”

  He growled. “Not ‘hi.’ I want a thank you.”

  She smiled. “Whatever for?”

  Kai brushed against her sensitive clit and Jane cried out. Kai grunted. “For devouring you with my mouth.”

  “Maybe later.”

  She noticed how his pupils remained slitted as he answered, “When I’m well, you have payback coming.”

  “I look forward to it.” Jane sat up and ran her hand down Kai’s chest. “But will it be from man or dragon?”

  Kai trapped her hand with his. “Both.”

  Her heart skipped a beat at the thought of his beast being unleashed. According to rumors, a dragon in charge would not only be rough, but had a whole hell of a lot more stamina than the human half.

  Just imagining a long, rough encounter made her ache between her legs.

  Kai’s nostrils flared. “What are you thinking about?”

  “Your cock.”

  “That’s only part of the truth.”

  She traced Kai’s nipple with her free hand. “Do you want to keep talking or do you want me to ride your dick like there’s no tomorrow?”

  He captured her other hand and tugged her closer. “You will tell me every little detail later.” He leaned forward and took her bottom lip between his teeth before releasing it. “For now, I want to feel your tight pussy gripping my dick as you scream my name.”

  Jane leaned forward until her nipples brushed Kai’s chest. “I never thought I’d have to tell you this, but you need to stop talking.” She moved back to her heels, but before she could say anything else, Kai leaned forward and sucked her nipple deep.

  As he caressed her tight bud, Jane’s pussy pulsed, demanding more. With great effort, Jane placed a hand on Kai’s head and pushed back. He released her nipple with a pop.

  She shivered at the heat in his eyes, but stayed strong. She needed much more than his mouth. Only his cock could ease the pounding between her legs.

  Jane motioned toward the bed with her head. “On your back, Kai, or I leave the room.”

  ~~~

  Kai had temporarily allowed his dragon to take charge, but the instant Jane ordered him on his back, Kai pushed his way to the front of his mind again. It’s my turn, dragon.

  I wasn’t done.

  Too bad. The first fuck is mine.

  Before his beast could reply, Kai tossed him into a mental prison. Running his hand up and down Jane’s inner thighs, he replied, “I can scent how much you want me, Janey. Your words are nothing but an empty threat.

  She raised her brows. “Are they now?”

  She moved toward the edge of the bed. With a growl, Kai reached out and pulled Jane up against his body. The feel of her naked skin flush against his made him want to claim her all the more. “I don’t think so, human. Kiss me first, Janey, and I’ll do what you say.”

  “I’m not sure what to think of that order.”

  Kai took a possessive hold of her backside. “Just bloody kiss me, woman.”

  Jane shook her head. “You’re so bossy and demanding.”

  Kai closed the distance between his lips and Jane’s, leaving only an inch of space. “But you like it.”

  Before she could reply, Kai took her mouth.

  Jane cried out in a mixture of surprise and desire. He took advantage by plunging his tongue into her hot, sweet mouth.

  His human groaned as she met him stroke for stroke, their teeth clashing in the process. He would never get enough of his female’s taste.

  His dragon roared inside his head as his beast clawed against his prison. If Kai didn’t get inside Jane soon, his beast might manage to break free and take control. And he wasn’t having it.

  Breaking the kiss, Jane’s breath was hot against his lips when he said, “Now, you can have me.”

  He released Jane and carefully laid down on his back. With Jane’s breasts jutting out over him, he reached out and pinched her nipple. “I’m waiting.”

  Jane narrowed her eyes for a split second before they filled with mischief. “No matter what I do, keep your hands on the bed until I say so.”

  He growled, “Don’t play games with me right now, Jane. My dragon is close to breaking free.”

  “Then contain him.”

  “And if I don’t?”

  She straddled his thighs and placed her hands on his hips. “Then your dragon will be the first to have me.”

  “No fucking way that’s happening.”

  “Good.” She moved a hand to his balls and cupped him. “Are you ready?”

  As she massaged him, it took everything he had to concentrate. “Jane, I’ve been waiting my whole life for you. I’m more than ready.”

  Something unreadable flashed in Jane’s eyes, but it was gone in the next second. “Then let’s test your self-control.”

  In the next heartbeat, Jane’s hot mouth engulfed his cock.

  He groaned as he clutched the sheets in his fingers. Not touching his human was going to be the most difficult test of his life.

  ~~~

  Taking Kai into her mouth was the distraction she needed. All of her attention was focused on his long, thick length.

  Since she couldn’t take all of him and Jane didn’t know the first thing about tricks to swallow and draw him deeper, she moved her hand from his balls to the base of cock. Squeezing tightly, she moved up and then down, twirling her tongue along the way. When she finally licked his tip, she tasted his saltiness.

  She groaned and Kai bucked his hips slightly. Jane looked up to meet Kai’s eyes as she licked down his cock.

  Even though his eyes were flashing, Kai never made a sound.

  Bloody stubborn dragonman.

  She squeezed her fingers tighter as she moved. When she lightly scraped his dick with her teeth, Kai finally groaned.

  The second he did, she trailed her tongue up his cock and released him with a long, slow lick. Sitting up, she took in Kai’s clenched hands in the bed sheets before meeting his flashing eyes. The hunger in them made her shiver.

  Kai snarled, “Why did you stop?”

  A stranger might be afraid of the frustration in Kai’s voice, but she knew he would never hurt her.

  Jane tilted her head. “I’m not ready for you to come just yet. I have more teasing to do.”

  He clutched the sheets tighter. “You’re testing my patience, Jane.”

  “Well, it’s a good thing you can’t take control because of the doctor’s orders.” She rubbed up and down Kai’s thighs, loving the roughness of his leg hair under her palms. “Come to think of it, I’ll save some of my teasing for when you’re well. It’ll be that much sweeter.” Kai narrowed his eyes, but Jane spoke again before he could. “But before I can ride you, I need a condom.”

  Kai didn’t so much as hesitate and nodded toward the nightstand at his bed.

  Opening the drawer, she took one out and rolled it slowly down his long length. She loved that he was prepared and didn’t try to dissuade her from using one with an idiotic excuse. She’d learned over the last few months just how much dragon-shifters treasured children, but deep in her gut, she knew Kai wouldn’t press her until she was ready.

  Pushing aside her serious thoughts, she finished with a flourish and crawled up Kai’s body until she lay on top of him, with his cock pressing against her stomach. Tracing his brow, she murmured, “Are you ready for me, dragonman?”

  “Almost. Let me touch you with my hands.”

  Bopping his nose with her fing
er, she smiled. “I kind of like being temporarily in control.”

  “Jane.”

  She laughed. “I know how hard it must be for you.” She winked. “In more ways than one.”

  “Janey.”

  After pressing a gentle kiss to his lips, she answered, “Touch me, Kai, and set me on fire.”

  Kai’s large, rough hands moved to her arse and squeezed. “When I’m cleared, I’m going to enjoy pounding into you from behind and feeling this soft arse against me.”

  “Me, too. So don’t do anything to piss me off.”

  “Idle threats, Jane.”

  She opened her mouth, but Kai moved a hand to her head and brought her lips to his. As he explored her mouth, his fingers found her pussy. He teased her opening, making her wetter.

  Desperate for more than a whisper of touch, Jane moved with him and managed to take his fingers deeper.

  Kai pulled away and ordered, “Fuck me, Jane. I want you. Now.”

  “So bossy.”

  He slapped her arse in response and the slight sting shot straight between her legs.

  Deciding her dragonman had enough, Jane slowly rose up and positioned herself above Kai’s cock. Never breaking eye contact, she lowered herself inch by inch until he was in to the hilt.

  Bloody hell. Kai was big.

  Her dragonman growled as he rubbed her backside in slow circles. “So tight and wet, and for me. It will always be for me, Jane. Understand?”

  “We’ll see.”

  He grabbed her hips. “You’re mine.”

  The dominance and truth in Kai’s words squeezed her heart. No man had ever wanted her to this degree before.

  She moved forward and back, and Kai growled some more. Stilling for a second, Jane whispered, “More like you’re mine.”

  Kai’s eyes flashed and he guided her hips. “Then ride me, Jane. I want you to claim what’s yours.”

  Her heart skipped a beat at his words. But Jane was done talking for the moment. It was time for action.

  Moving her hips, Jane created a steady pace. Kai’s dick reached deep and the delicious fullness created friction that hit her in all the right places.

  Kai guided her hips and moved faster, pulling her forward and slamming her back. Only because she had her hands on his chest did she keep upright.

  Even as the sound of flesh slapping against flesh mixed with her moans, Kai never broke eye contact. The heat of his blue eyes combined with their flashing pupils made her wonder what it would feel like to be at Kai’s mercy when he was healthy and whole.

  Then Kai smacked her backside and kept her hips forward. She tried moving, but his grip was like steel.

  His voice was husky as ordered, “Don’t think about anything else but this.”

  He slammed her down in one quick motioned and Jane cried out. “Kai.”

  “My human likes it rough.”

  Kai repeated his actions, but this time raised his hips at the last moment. Pleasure flashed in her eyes. “You’re going to kill me.”

  He kept her on top of him and rotated his lower body. His hard dick hit her G-spot and Jane clutched the hairs on Kai’s chest.

  He murmured, “Just wait, Janey. This is me holding back.”

  After slapping her arse, he roamed up her side to her breasts. Tugging one of her nipples, he murmured, “Move.”

  She should argue about how it was her turn to be in control, but Jane decided to just fuck it. She was close, so she moved her hips.

  As she increased her pace, Kai continued to roll and pinch her nipple. Just the one, and her other ached for his touch. Kai slapped her bum again and then moved his other hand to her lonely breast. As he lightly twisted both nipples at the same time, Jane lowered her head.

  Kai dropped his hands and she cried out, “Don’t stop.”

  “Look at me.”

  Slowly, she raised her head. The second she met his gaze, Kai lightly brushed her clit. “I want you to come for me, Janey.”

  She opened her mouth to tell him he couldn’t just order for it to happen, but then he tweaked her sensitive bundle of nerves. When he did it again, lights flashed across her eyes as her orgasm hit her hard.

  When her pussy gripped and released Kai’s dick, he moved his hands to her hips again and moved her forward and back. “You’re mine, Janey.” He claimed her with a hard piston. “Don’t ever forget that.” And again. “Mine.”

  He increased the tempo. Each long, hard thrust increased her pleasure to the point it was nearly too much. A mixture of pleasure and pain, Jane barely noticed when Kai cried out and stilled.

  Eventually, Kai moved his hands from her hips to her back and pressed down gently. Too boneless to protest, Jane curled on top of Kai’s chest and he engulfed her in his strong arms.

  The sound of his heartbeat combined with his masculine scent filling her nose relaxed her even further.

  For whatever reason, laying in Kai’s arms made her feel safe and cared for. It was almost as if it was where she had always belonged.

  An image of her waking up in the arms of her dragonman when she was old and gray popped into her head. Given it had only been a few days, the thought should terrify her. Yet as she snuggled into his chest, Jane thought it might not be a bad thing.

  True, there were still issues between them, especially when it came to ensuring Kai was over his true mate. But if they could work them out, she might’ve found a strong man who wasn’t afraid to stand up to her.

  In other words, Jane might have found her perfect match.

  ~~~

  Kai laid his cheek on the top of Jane’s head and breathed in her scent. The combination of her long body on top of his, and the heat of her pussy around his dick relaxed him in a way he hadn’t felt since before meeting Maggie.

  There might not be a frenzy, but he didn’t care. His dragon’s instinct had been wrong eleven years ago. Jane would be his.

  His beast’s sleepy voice filled his mind. I can’t control the frenzy, either. Don’t blame me. Besides, who cares? We have Jane.

  Stroking the soft and slightly damp skin of her back, Kai answered, It’s a bit soon to have her, if we can ever have her.

  If we lose her, it will be your fault.

  Just shut it and go to sleep.

  And miss seeing Jane’s flushed face again? I don’t think so.

  Then just be quiet.

  With a harrumph, his dragon faded into the back of his mind.

  Kai had never been chatty, but for once, he wished he were. He wanted to know everything about his human, but didn’t have the foggiest idea of how to ask her without issuing an order.

  His dragon snorted, but thankfully remained silent afterward.

  Content to stroke up and down Jane’s back, several minutes passed until Jane’s voice filled the room. “I do care about the dragon-shifters, you know.” She looked up. “And not just because you’re good in bed.”

  “Good, am I?”

  She playfully slapped his chest. “I’m trying to work up the nerve to tell you something about my past and you want me to feed your ego.”

  Both man and beast perked up. “You can tell me anything, Janey. I’m pretty good at keeping secrets.”

  She smiled and rubbed her hand back and forth across his pecs. “Yes, but only because you utter the bare minimum.”

  Moving his hand to her bum, he squeezed. “Except for you. I don’t know if it’s your years of being a reporter or your pretty eyes, but I like talking with you.”

  She snorted. “You don’t have to sound as if that’s a bad thing.”

  Giving her backside a light tap, he asked, “What were you going to tell me?”

  Jane looked back to his chest and traced circles with her forefinger. It was the first time she’d shown any lack of confidence and he didn’t like it. “Jane, tell me.”

  She met his eyes once more. “Again with the orders.” Kai merely raised his brows and she sighed. “Since I have a feeling you won’t feed me again until I tell yo
u, I should just spit it out.”

  Kai remained silent despite his dragon pacing back and forth in his mind, concerned about feeding their human. If she’s hungry, we should find food.

  She’ll last a little bit longer. Aren’t you curious about her secret?

  His beast paused and finally replied, I do like secrets.

  Good. Then hush.

  Kai’s silence was finally rewarded when Jane spoke again. “It was my first exciting assignment. After a few years of reporting on things such as dangerous weeds for children or senior citizen art shows, I was more than ready to investigate an arson. My boss at the time said it was a test—if I could handle the story, I would move up from local inconveniences and events to crime.

  “Back then, I thought crime was where I wanted to be, so I dug in and went to work.” Jane laid her head on her hands and continued, “I did what I would do with any story and reached out to my police contacts, interviewed witnesses, and eventually discovered the two men suspected of the crime as well as a third person of interest.

  “I tracked down the person of interest first. He was determined to clear his name and so he agreed to do an interview.

  “Fast forward two days and my story was in the newspaper. The story did well and my boss promoted me. It should’ve been a fantastic day.”

  Kai’s voice was quiet when he asked, “So what went wrong?”

  Jane closed her eyes a second and then opened them again. “While everything the suspect, Tom Smith, had told me was true, I didn’t provide the whole context.”

  “How did that slip past your editors? Or were you working for a tabloid?”

  Jane shook her head. “It wasn’t a tabloid, but it was a smaller newspaper with a limited number of staff. Our fact checkers were overworked and some things slipped through from time to time. And my story was one of them.”

  He rubbed Jane’s lower back. “What exactly did you say and what happened as a result?”

  “Tom had told me about how he picked up his two friends from the nightclub and drove them to a local train station to catch the last southbound train for the night. Since they were students at the University of Manchester with him, he just assumed they were going home for the break and thought nothing of it. He had no idea his friends had just committed arson.”
