TWENTY-SIX

"Yes, please," she whispered, moving in closer as she lifted her lips for another kiss. A whole lot of kisses, and more besides.

His hands trailed down her throat to her breasts. God, she could feel the heat of him through all the layers of her dress and underthings. Her nipples puckered up, begging for some kisses of their own.

As if reading her mind, he reached around her to unzip her dress, easing it down until she was bare to the waist, except for her padded bra, which she'd needed to properly fill out Diana's dress.

"You really are amazing," Blaze whispered reverently, feathering kisses down her throat until he reached the valley between her breasts. With quick, deft hands, he unfastened her bra and tossed it to the floor.

Before she could cover herself, his hands were there, cupping her breasts and squeezing them together more firmly than any push-up bra, before he buried his face between them. Heat bloomed in her chest, radiating out from where his lips touched her, and she let out a moan.

"I'll make you moan like that all night, Eden. But we need to get you out of that gown so I can lie you down on the bed," he said, sliding his hands inside the dress, easing it down over her hips, until it pooled at the floor, leaving her wearing nothing more than her knickers.

Blaze's eyes drank her in, like she was a bottle of the finest champagne and not...well, herself. She'd never been so naked and exposed to anyone, and her hands itched to cover whatever they could, but as her eyes met his, she knew she didn't need to. The desire in his eyes sent tingles down her spine.

This was exactly what she wanted. He was everything she wanted.

She let her own eyes travel down his body. Down all those hard ridges of muscle she'd forced her gaze away from before, right down to...what she already knew was an impressive length. But now it was hard and ready for her, it looked even bigger.

What would he feel like inside her? Would he even fit?

Eden reached out and curled her hand around his shaft, stroking slowly. Like molten steel encased in silk, she wanted...

"Not yet," Blaze whispered huskily, tilting her chin up so she met his gaze. "Tonight is about you."

She released him, and he backed her toward the bed, until she tipped over against a mattress bigger than any bed she'd ever slept in. Maybe even as big as that monstrosity in the tower, but this one was better. Better because she was alone with Blaze, and no one else.

Then his lips descended on her body and there was no space in her mind for anyone or anything else but him. He crouched over her, like some enormous bird of prey, mantling without wings, as each kiss became a spark of fresh desire that set her whole body alight. Her breasts were on fire, then her belly, until he reached the waistband of her knickers.

Hungry eyes begged her, and she was helpless to refuse, even if she'd wanted to. Light glimmered on claws, before he tore her knickers away. A moment later, his hand was back to normal again, stroking her thighs apart as his breath ignited a fire in her core.

She was naked in bed with a dragon. A tiny voice in the back of her head told her she should be afraid, terrified even, and she should run away. But she didn't want to. Instead, she spread her legs wider, and said, "Please, Blaze."

He laughed, his hot breath tingling inside her for a moment, before he began kissing his way down her leg, all the way to her ankle, before switching to her other leg, bestowing a torturously slow line of kisses upward, back to where she wanted him. Needed him.

This was insane. She'd never...and now she desperately craved...dragon.

He reached the apex of her inner thigh, and Eden let out a shaky sigh. Finally.

Only he paused to meet her eyes. "I want to taste you," he whispered reverently.

She was lost. Utterly lost in those dark indigo eyes. "Okay," she breathed.

His hands slid around her hips, cupping her arse as he lifted her to his mouth. Small, light kisses peppered the tops of her thighs, tantalising her as he got closer and closer to where she needed him.

Then a sharp sting, that raced through her veins like lightning, lighting her up from the inside.

"Did you just bite me?" she squealed, half sitting up to see.

Light glinted on fangs for a moment, before he grinned, looking as human as her. "Just a little love bite. To be certain..."

Then he began kissing her again, more ardently this time, and Eden collapsed back on the bed, writhing beneath his touch as his tongue swirled against her sensitive skin.

She moaned again, her hips bucking upward of their own accord, greedy for more of his mouth.

"That's my girl," Blaze growled, before he sucked her clit into his mouth, his teeth grazing against it. Fangs or teeth? Eden didn't care any more, as he slid...was that one? No, it had to be more. At least two fingers speared inside her, curling to hit just the right angle as he pumped them inside her, while his mouth still worked his magic on her clit.

Between Blaze's fingers and his tongue, Eden's legs were shaking uncontrollably, as she crested the kind of peak she'd only read about in books. The stuff of fairytales.

"Oh gods!" she cried out.

But he didn't stop. If anything, he moved faster, until it wasn't just her legs trembling, but her core, too, clenching around his fingers so she could keep him inside her forever.

The orgasm crashed over her like a wave, leaving her floating blissfully in its wake. She felt Blaze moving and she mumbled a complaint, reaching for him, until his lips landed on hers, silencing her protests. When she finally managed to open her eyes, she found him staring at her, with the most blissful smile on his face. As though he'd just had the most incredible orgasm ever, instead of her.

"You really are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," he whispered, before he kissed her again.

This time, it was no accident when she bit him. Again, lightning streaked through her veins, right down from her head to her core, and down to curl her toes, and she let out another moan.

Molten steel nudged her thighs. Oh gods, he was ready for her, and she couldn't believe how much she wanted him.

"We don't have to if you don't want to," he said, guiding her hand down to his shaft. He let her stroke him once, twice, before his hand closed over hers. "Tell me what you want."

She licked her lips. Her already sensitive pussy ached for him. "I know I want you, but I've never done this before," she admitted. Eyes begging him to give her what she wanted, when she didn't even know what it was.

"Don't worry. I can teach you," he said, kissing her gently before rolling onto his back beside her. "Climb on top of me."

Oh gods. What if she kneed him somewhere painful, and he decided this was a terrible idea?

He seemed to read her hesitation right out of her mind, before he fastened his hands around her hips and lifted her right into his lap. So that his enormous, hard cock was wedged between her thighs, so hot she dared not look down, in case her wet pussy was actually steaming.

He wrapped her fingers around his cock. "Guide me inside," he said.

She had to lift herself up off him, and wrap both hands around his length, positioning him so that his head burned against her clit, already starting to stretch her as she rubbed against him. Oh, but she wanted more. She lowered herself down onto him, moaning at the blazing heat igniting her insides, until all she could feel was him, filling her completely. She rocked her hips, swearing she could feel sparks coming off her clit as he rubbed against her. "Oh gods, Blaze," she cried out.

"Are you all right?" he asked, as his hands rested lightly on her hips.

She swallowed. She didn't know the words for what she was right now. She'd taken every glorious inch of his massive cock, and yet... "I want more," she whispered.

His hands tightened around her hips, rocking her harder, as he began to thrust in perfect rhythm with her as she rose and fell, grinding her hips shamelessly against his as she rode him. Her hot dragon.

"Oh gods, you're amazing," he said, as his hands slid up to caress her breasts.

Ha! He thought she was amazing, when he was...like a fairytale come true. She'd never thought sex could be this good, especially not her first time. Oh gods, she was reaching another peak, she knew it. And she was going to...

"Blaze!" she screamed as her vision went white.
