Dolyn

D runk Vanni was almost amusing.

My dragon chuckled along with him, gleefully enjoying his mutterings and complete lack of control over the words spilling from his lips.

Mind a jumbled mess of desire and stubbornness, I stared at my beta as he faded into oblivion.

Vanni’s jaw lay lax, and my ass cheeks clenched at the thought of beard burn on my skin. His thick, black hair grayed at the temples and spread over the pillow in a rumpled, sexy mess. Long black lashes rested, hiding the most arresting green eyes I’d see in my four hundred plus years.

My gaze slipped over his neck to the smooth, olive skin of his arms, chest, and abs. The man was ripped. All cut muscle and a trim waist with its dark trail of hair disappearing beneath his slacks.

Kneel.

Worship.

There was no denying the draw. But could an alpha do those things and still hold his status?

I considered a true submissive’s lifestyle subservient, complete obedience. Such expectations could not be placed upon a royal Blood Born. Father had told me we bowed to no man.

Lifting my chin, I considered the frailty of the body before me. Vanni’s instincts were shut down, and had I desired, I could break his bones with a snap of my fingers. I could burn him to ash with a mere wisp of dragon fire from my lips.

The man wasn’t worthy of my worship, nor did he deserve for me to bend a knee.

“Do you think he’ll be okay?” Ashley threaded her fingers through mine, and immediate calm snaked through my cells, easing my frown and heavy thoughts.

“He vomited until his stomach emptied. I’m sure he’ll be fine except for a ripping headache when he wakes.” I sank onto the bed’s edge, unable to leave Vanni. Pushing aside my thoughts on how I wanted him, I tugged my female toward me.

She settled onto my lap, snuggled against my chest, and released a sigh, her sweet breath and slight scent of arousal making my mouth water.

My cock thickened beneath her backside, blood heating.

I expected my inner beast to demand we claim what was ours, but he lay quiet, his purr a soft rumble in my head.

Eyes closed, I rested my lips against Ashley’s forehead, breathing in the scent of vanilla and the underlying musk of her body’s desire for me.

Pre-cum smeared inside my slacks, and I groaned, shifting my female away from my aching length.

“I’m not afraid of intimacy.” She tilted her head back to meet my gaze. “I want this—you. Vanni. Yes, I’m nervous that ugliness from my past might try to erase my ability to enjoy sex or reach climax with you.”

I cursed quietly along with my dragon half at the thought of her wet heat clenching around my shaft.

“But I’m going to try if you’ll have me.”

“You already own every part of me, Ashley.” I cupped her cheek, drinking in the sight of her swelled pupils, the flushed skin beneath my touch. “I will give you the world. Make myself available to you in every way you need to find contentment and happiness.”

“Will you kiss me?”

I stared at her parted lips. She had told me that no one had touched them since her abuser. Embers of need flared in my gut, a driving force demanding I consume. Devour. Fill and flood with my seed. Wetness slid from my slit, and I hissed.

The pulse jumped in Ashley’s neck as though she felt what I did, the same energy, the magnetic pull to come together and cement our souls for all time.

I thumbed over her mouth, tugging down slightly, revealing the pink inner skin beneath her front teeth. “Hold still for me.”

Ashley whimpered as I lowered my head.

A gentle lick over the softness inside her lower lip burst sweetness along my tongue, and I groaned, tightening my hold on her back.

With a soft sigh, Ashley clutched at my hair, and our mouths sealed. She was ambrosia, divine sustenance. Cool water on a hot day, and I thirsted, the fire inside me needing to be doused.

More .

Vanni shifted in his sleep, his knee pressing against my hip. Even through the fabrics separating us, heat and a ripple of awareness slid to my groin.

I groaned into Ashley’s mouth, licking, suckling, and nipping.

My cock throbbed on the verge of release from a mere sip of my female’s sweetness.

Need to bury deep.

Release against her womb.

We did.

Desperately.

I allowed my beast to rise closer to the surface so he might enjoy our female too.

The scent of Ashley’s arousal intensified, flooding my senses, and I tore my mouth off hers, trailing my tongue and lips along her jaw and down her throat.

She tilted her head, granting me access, and I grazed my teeth over her soft skin.

No.

Swallowing hard, I refrained from biting as my human side lusted for. “I need to taste you as he did.”

Ashley shuddered. “Yes.”

I stood and turned, laying her beside our passed-out beta. The loss of his heat against my leg made my inner beast whimper, but the one awaiting pleasure peered up at me with bright violet eyes, needy and ready for my attention.

I ran my hands down her clothed body, atop her pert breasts, along her tucked waist, and over the swell of her hips. While tiny, I didn’t doubt she would be able to carry our young.

My cock bucked inside my pants, and I pressed hard against my bulge.

Ashley watched, her tongue flitting over her lower lip.

Yessss .

“You wish to put your mouth on me too?”

She nodded, panting and rubbing her legs together as though seeking relief.

I released my shaft from its prison, hissing as I gripped the base tight.

“Dolyn,” Ashley whispered, fisting the comforter.

“I will take care of you, my female. Promise.” I thumbed over my slit, gathering the wetness, ignoring the fact I didn’t leak nearly as much as I ought to. “Taste,” I murmured, smearing the slickness over her lower lip, choosing to focus on Ashley rather than my shortcomings.

Her tongue flicked out, and she moaned, suckling on my thumb.

A rush of desire rolled over me, and I groaned, leaning over to taste myself on her tongue. Salt and sweet mingled together.

“Dolyn, please,” she mumbled around my kiss.

I nipped her lower lip, held her gaze, and slid my hand down her front. Her buttonless slacks from work had an elastic waist, easy to slip my fingers beneath.

She gasped as I feathered over the satiny material covering her core. Heat and wetness met my touch, and I swallowed hard, her panted breaths rushing over my lips inches from hers.

“Can I take them off?” I asked, my tone low and ragged.

Rather than answer, she lifted her hips and shoved her pants and panties to her ankles.

The scent of her musk swelled in the air, and a shudder rippled through me. I stood, running my hands over her legs, my eyes feasting on her pale skin and the delicate flesh awaiting my tongue. My inner beast growled and moaned, panting and salivating.

Taste .

Breed .

I shimmied Ashley’s pants and panties completely off her legs, and she lifted her feet to the bed’s edge.

Vanni grumbled in his sleep, but I couldn’t tear my focus off our female and how she bared herself to me.

“So beautiful,” I murmured, sliding a single finger over her damp, pink petals.

Ashley shifted, her hips seeking more contact. “Dolyn, please !”

I dipped into her slickness with a single fingertip and, cursing quietly, sank to my knees. I grasped her hips and pulled her closer to the edge of the mattress. Her legs wrapped around my shoulders.

Yessss .

My mouth watered, and I nipped the inside of her thigh. “Can I put my mouth on you?”

“Yes. Please.”

Skin pebbling, I placed a chaste kiss on her wet labia. So soft. I breathed her in, my eyes closing in absolute euphoria while sucking her essence off my lips. A long lick from her pucker to her clit coated my tongue with her sweet cream. I swallowed her arousal down, a growl rumbling in my chest.

She is perfection. Succulent and sweeter than any honey.

Ashley ran her fingers through my hair, yanking me back to where she needed me, and I gave her my tongue.

I was the first to taste her nectar straight from the source.

My chest swelled while licking her clean and probing for more.

Ours .

“Mmm,” I agreed and settled in to drink her down, toy with her flesh, until I wrung every last bit of pleasure from her body.

She writhed in my hold, trying to chase my mouth as I teased over her hardened nub, gentle flicks keeping her on edge but not allowing her to climax.

“Dolyn—more.” The tortured plea poured from her lips. “ Please .” Her broken sob sounded like the sweetest symphony to my ears.

Take her. Own her body.

I ignored my other half and focused on bringing her pleasure.

Ashley ripped at my hair, whimpering senseless words, but our connection dictated my moves.

Latching my lips on her clit, I slid two fingers deep into her tight core.

She gasped, hips lifting.

My eyes rolled back into my head, my cock aching. Throbbing. Ball sac drawn up and tight.

“Oh…yes. Yes!” Ashley’s back bowed, her thighs clamping tight against my head.

Her core sucked around my fingers in milking pulses, her cum dribbling over my knuckles.

I lapped around her entrance, gently fucking her through her climax, devouring every drop she gifted me.

Swallowing ensured a part of her would always be with me.

“Need—you.” She gasped and shuddered, coming down from her high but evidently not finished.

“What, my female? Name it, and it’s yours.” My voice was ragged with desire.

She scooted around, still on her back, feet against our snoring beta, her head hanging over the bed’s edge. A beckoning of her fingers explained and enticed me to obey her command.

“Fuck.” I stood, grabbing hold of my cock in a death grip. If she drank her alpha’s cum, she would grow desperate for more, addicted to our life-giving seed.

I longed to give her what she desired, but…

I glanced at Vanni.

Lips parted, he emitted evidence he wouldn’t rouse anytime soon.

As their alpha, I had hoped to bestow the gift upon them at the same time, but my need along with our female’s had grown too great. We could wait to fuck, but this, I would allow.

I slid my pants to mid-thigh and moved closer to cup the back of her head in one of my hands. “Is this what you want, my female?” I murmured while rubbing my leaking cockhead over her lips.

She flicked out her tongue, shivering hard enough goose bumps rose along her bare legs. “Please.” Ashley opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue.

Teeth gritted, I slid partway into her mouth, stretching her lips with my girth.

She moaned, laving at my shaft.

I growled, backed out, and pushed in. Head tipping skyward, I stilled, memorizing the soft, wet heat of her. So perfect. I pulled out fully and tugged down on my sac, hissing at my lack of restraint.

“I can take all of you, Dolyn.” Ashley’s voice suggested assurance, but a hint of fear rested in her eyes.

I knelt immediately and cradled her head in both of my hands. “He did this to you.”

She nodded, a tear sliding down her cheek and into the river of black hair dangling toward the floor.

Red heat flared in my guts, and I couldn’t keep the fire from my eyes.

“You won’t hurt me,” she murmured, her voice small like a timid mouse.

I should have gathered her into my arms. Sheltered her from the torment of her past.

“Help me make new memories, Dolyn. Please. I’m ready for this step. Want you in my mouth and your cum in my belly.”

My dragon groaned, and I shuddered. “I’m so close.”

“Then hurry up and feed me your cock, my mate.”

Wetness stung my eyes at her declaration, and I stood, swallowing hard to keep my emotions contained. All I had longed for, the words I’d never allowed myself to believe would caress my ears, had emitted from this gorgeous creature’s perfect lips.

Our gazes locked, the energy between us potent and life-giving as tears coursed down my cheeks. “I’ll be careful,” I choked out and slid my length over her waiting tongue.

She grasped my hips and pulled me inward, and I cursed as my cockhead slid straight into her throat without resistance.

Wetness coated her cheeks as well, but her eyes shone with inner peace. Happiness. I swore I could almost feel her already, her emotions seeking me out, attempting to assure me of her being okay.

I fucked her mouth gently, my muscles tensed. “Won’t be long…”

Ashley reached between my thighs and rubbed over my sac and taint.

“Fuck.” I tipped my head back, eyes closed, losing myself to her touch. “Yes—fuck, yes.”

My brazen female searched higher, fingertips fluttering over my pucker.

Vanni grunted in his sleep—and I came, roaring my release.

Shudders owned me, my hips stuttering in attempt to bury my cock inside Ashley’s body. Spurt after spurt of seed shot deep inside her, and she swallowed, coaxing my balls to gift her all of me.

“Mine—so sweet.” I dropped to my knees and devoured her mouth, my chest heaving, tingles still racing through the cells of my body. “Mine,” I murmured against her lips before licking deep, needing to check for myself she’d devoured very drop.

Ashley cried out in ecstasy again and shivered, her hand between her thighs.

Groaning, I yanked her off the bed and into my arms, burying my face in her neck as I sank onto the mattress’s edge. We both breathed heavy, our hearts thudding in time with each other.

I wasn’t sure exactly what the word love meant, but Ashley owned half of me. Lifting my head, I took in our sleeping beta who had rights to the rest.

Submit .

Turning away from Vanni and my inner beast, I closed my eyes and basked in what fate had destined me and how easily Ashley and I had come together.
