He left her in the center of the sitting area as he walked over to the fireplace.

After taking the breath he needed to fill his lungs and the core around his dragon with oxygen, he exhaled and released a flame into the empty grate.

He didn’t need to start a fire, except he enjoyed seeing the firelight flicker along Kai’s brown skin—a lovely, intoxicating sight.

She hadn’t moved from the place he left her. Moving closer, he didn’t stop until her body was touching his.

“Aodh...” she licked her lips.

He growled as he watched the slow glide of her pink tongue.

“Repeat it.”

“Aodh.”

“I can get drunk on the sound of my name on your lips.”

She sank her teeth into her plump bottom lip and tipped her head down. She was close enough that he felt the shivers run through her body.

He guided the tips of his fingers down her arms.

“I thought you gave me tonight to be with my sister.”

His touch moved back up her arms until he was cupping the sides of her neck. Applying just enough pressure, he urged her head back to meet his gaze. “She will be fine. With all her vigorous dancing, Morlie will sleep soundly tonight. You don’t need to sit at her bedside and worry while she rests.”

She nodded, conceding. “I didn’t expect her to regain so much energy so soon.”

Aodh pressed a thumb to the deep crease between her brows. He could tell her why her sister was rebounding so fast, but he didn’t want to get into it tonight. “She will continue to grow stronger. You will see.”

Kai exhaled. “So, I’m here.”

“Yes,” he stated, even though her words didn’t come out as a question.

“Your brother’s words—”

“We will discuss that in a moment.” He traced along her delicate jawline.

“Then what do you want to do now?” she whispered.

“Dance for me,” he commanded. The desire to see her body moving in a sensuous manner hadn’t gone away.

“Dance?” She looked around the space, then tipped her head to the side as she glanced up at him. “There’s no music.”

“You listened to the beats long enough downstairs. It’s still trapped here...” He tapped the center of her chest between her heavy breasts, indicating her heart. “Let it out. Feel the music.”

Kai held his gaze for a long moment. He wondered if she would offer another excuse or follow his edict.

“Alright.” She started to step back.

He lowered his hands and gripped her hips, keeping her body flush with his. “No. Here.”

She didn’t question him. Instead, she gave a slow nod before she let her eyelids slide closed.

His ears picked up on the soft humming she began to make. As her body started a slight rock back and forth, he wasn’t sure if Kai had slowed down the tempo of the eclectic beats from downstairs or if she filled the space with something from the past.

He didn’t give a damn as long as she continued the sensual undulation of her body.

Aodh knew when Kai let herself go and gave over to the act.

She lifted her arms, waving them fluidly from her shoulders to her hands.

He had the urge to lean forward and lick her rolling, slender fingers, but he held himself in check—not wanting to do anything to distract her.

Kai’s hips swayed, brushing her soft form along his.

His fingers flexed on her waist before he released her, allowing her liberty.

She took full advantage of her freedom. Kai dragged her breasts over his chest as she swung her body around. She pressed her ass into his groin as she rotated her hips.

Aodh choked down a groan as his cock stretched, hardening.

Lower and lower, her body dipped as she oscillated her hips over his thighs before she moved up again.

Thankful. That’s how he felt about having Kai dance privately for him.

If she had performed any of these moves on the dancefloor, Aodh was sure he would have had to kill at least twenty male Drahks in attendance at the meal.

If any had watched her grind and thrust her hips, there would be hell to pay.

She continued to wave her arms above her head, but now she glided them over his chest and around his neck as she leaned her back against him.

Her wild curls caressed his bare skin, available through the parted front sides of his vest. All he thought about was how they would feel brushing his thighs as he taught her how to take his dick in her mouth.

Her touch was driving him into a lust-filled haze. His cock was so hard now that it took every ounce of his self-control not to drag her to the bed and bury every inch of his length inside her pussy. Instead of continuing with this damn torture.

When Kai pressed her shoulders into him and arched her back so her plump, firm backside made one erotic gyration after another up and down over the base of his shaft, he couldn’t take the nefarious torment any longer.

“Enough!” he growled. Reaching around Kai’s body, he gripped the material of her dress at the collar and then tore the bodice apart. He continued to stretch his hands wide until the garment ripped from her breasts to her thighs.

Kai gasped, shocked by his actions.

Aodh let go of the fabric and paid no mind as it fluttered to the floor. It hadn’t been his original vision regarding Kai’s body and the dress, but he didn’t give a damn. All he knew was that he wanted his mate, and he wanted her now.

Maybe it was all the taunts and jeers of his brother or the admiring looks toward her by the male Drahk. But whatever the fuck it was, he didn’t care. His only interest was easing his need and getting inside of her hot, tight, slick sex. Staking his claim, he placed his scent all over her again.

She turned and glanced at him over her shoulder, her eyes widening with unspoken questions. “Aodh—”

He gripped her face, holding her in place as he lowered his head and kissed her hard. He just needed to taste her.

Kai returned his kiss with the same intensity. She slid one hand up around his neck into his short hair.

Lowering his hand, he followed the line of her hip along the crease of her thigh until he was cupping her sex. Her moan filled his mouth as he slipped two fingers between her swollen, slick flesh as he massaged her stiff clit.

She pressed forward into his hand.

He kicked one of her legs out, giving himself more access.

Whimpering, Kai fisted his hair as her other hand gripped his forearm, sinking her nails into him.

Aodh didn’t know if Kai held on for purchase or urgency, but he wouldn’t stop until she was coming all over his hand. Moving further along her slit, he reached her entrance, where he pressed both fingers inside.

Kai was tight, only giving him room to enter his first knuckles. He then pulled out only to push in deeper.

She hissed and cried out in his mouth, but he continued his kiss and stroking.

When he finally made it past the second set of knuckles, he employed his thumb to circle her clit.

Round and round and in and out, he stroked her, forcing her hips to buck and dance to the rhythm he created.

Pulling back, he whispered along her lips, “Come for me.” He retook her mouth, gliding his tongue inside her lips at the same tempo of his hand between her thighs.

She cried out into his mouth moments before her pussy clenched around his fingers and coated his hand with her sweet cream.

He tore his lips away from hers and removed his hand from her warmth.

Slowly, he brought it up the length of her body and past her face, ensuring she bore witness to her pleasure glistening on him.

As she continued to watch, he started by gliding his tongue over the palm of his hand, tasting her, taking in everything about his mate.

Kai’s dark gaze, black with need, stared at him.

He slid his two wet fingers into his mouth, licking and sucking, allowing the flavor of her essence to bloom in his mouth and satisfy his soul as the scent of her arousal saturated the space between them.

He took his time tracing up and around each digit, swiping his tongue between fingers where her cream pooled as he groaned, showing her how much he enjoyed every drop.

She whimpered. She panted, each breath heavy and audible, imbuing the atmosphere with her music.

A tune he was eager to dance to, one thrust after another. And another.
