––––––––

K ai sighed as Aodh turned her around to face him and slid his hands into her hair.

He gripped a fistful at her neck, pulled back on it, and forced her head back until she was gazing up at him.

Lowering his head, Aodh claimed her mouth, sharing the taste that coated his tongue and fed it all to her, combined with his roasted flavor.

He slipped a hand around her hip to palm her ass cheek and used it as leverage to lift and drag her up his chest as he deepened the kiss.

Kai’s head was spinning. She wasn’t sure if she was more drunk on the fermented juice from the hall or Aodh.

The man’s commanding power and smoky-cinnamon scent could be bottled up and sold as an aphrodisiac—he was intoxicating.

She couldn’t deny how much the things he did to her turned her body inside out and made her crave him.

She enjoyed the pleasure he gave her. Aodh was an attentive and thorough lover.

Before, she was ignorant of everything that would happen between them, but now she knew.

She understood all the nuances that passion had to offer.

At least she comprehended enough that she didn’t want to be a bystander to what happened between them.

She wanted to show him that she desired to be a full participant. Take the lead. At least sometimes.

She wasn’t a fool. The big man was too overpowering to let anyone else be in charge for long.

When the kiss ended, and the world was back under her feet, she realized he was moving them backward.

She didn’t turn around to see where he was leading them.

Instead, she placed her palms on his, halting his next movement.

“Wait, Aodh.”

He growled. Tipping his head down, he stared at her.

The fierce, blue-flamed gaze he aimed at her made her tremble inside. At that moment, he appeared to be more of a beast than a man. Aodh wanted one thing right now, and she didn’t need to be a mind-reader to figure it out. His hard cock pressing against her belly made it clear what was on his mind.

Her sex was still pulsing from the climax he’d just given her. She was nervous, quaking with need, and said, “I want to please you.”

“Oh, little flame...what I will do next, it will please both of us.” His voice was low, heavy, so deep that she barely understood his words.

She was sure that every other word was the language of his people. “Just let me do this.”

Before he could object, she lowered herself to her knees.

As she dragged her hands over his chest, she felt the sizzling heat pulsing through his markings, scorching her palms. The blaze that seemed trapped inside him seared her skin and sparked her nerves, making her toes curl in the boots still on her feet, and her core tighten.

Part of her wanted to surrender to Aodh and let him have his way with her. But she held tight to her resolve.

Looking away from his eyes, she allowed her gaze to follow the path of her hands until she was resting back on her haunches. She unfastened his pants and was soon staring directly at his thick, stiff shaft in front of her face.

Damn . Kai swallowed. Maybe I should have looked at him before deciding on this action.

She gripped his hips, feeling his firm, taut muscles like he had steel beneath his skin. She glided her hands forward to take hold of his hard length.

“Kai?” Her name spilling from his mouth was both an order and a plea. Aodh’s hands flexed at his side and drew into fists as if he were fighting not to reach out to her.

Wrapping first one hand, then another, around his cock, she stared in wonder.

Shocked, her fingers couldn’t encompass the width.

It confounded her how all his girth had not split her sex wide.

She wasn’t foolish enough to think she could take much of him in her mouth, but she was still determined to give him even some of the satisfaction he unselfishly delivered.

Taking hold of him with both her hands, not covering even half of his length, she stroked back toward the base.

He groaned.

When she peered up at him, his hooded gaze met hers.

She executed the action in reverse and brought her hands up until she bumped the edge of the crown. Once again, she stroked back.

“Harder.” Aodh didn’t seem to be able to say more than one word at a time.

Joy bubbled inside of her when she saw how she was affecting him.

It was about time Aodh experienced a little of the mind-blowing desire he caused in her.

Biting back a smile, she squeezed him tighter and dragged her hands forward.

The cold stone was unforgiving beneath her knees, but she ignored the uncomfortableness and continued to stroke him.

Shifting her gaze to his cock, Kai spotted a bead of his fluid at the tip.

When it started to run down, she leaned forward and swiped the nectar with the flat of her tongue.

“Fuuuck!” Aodh’s growl filled the room and caused the atmosphere to vibrate.

She felt the pulsing over her skin. Her nipples tightened in response.

The floor shook beneath her legs and shot up into her core.

It made her want to rub her body against Aodh’s.

Loving the taste of him, she fought the need.

She started to lean forward and lick him again but stopped.

She continued to pump his thickness as she stared at the tip.

In the tiny opening at his crest was something red as a flame and bead-like.

It didn’t fill the small hole nor stop more of his pre-come from streaming out.

Since she had never seen a man’s cock up close before, she wasn’t sure if this was something all men had in their tip or not.

Then she blinked, and it was gone. For a moment, she wondered if she had imagined it.

But, when she bowed her head and licked and circled the bulbous crown several times, it appeared again.

Intentionally, she moved in this time and flicked it with the tip of her tongue.

The tiny stem-like segment peeked out just past the top of his cock but retreated again.

Aodh no longer seemed able or willing to restrain himself, took hold of the sides of her face, and pulled her forward. “Open.”

It was clear what he wanted her to do. She only hesitated a moment before she licked her lips, and then she parted them. Aodh pushed into her mouth, causing it to widen much further to take in his broad head.

He pulled back, dragging his hardness over her tongue. When he pushed in, he went further this time. He bumped the back of her throat before retreating. When he was almost out, she closed her lips around him and sucked hard to draw him back in.

She enjoyed the feel of him in her mouth.

Maybe it was because even though he had taken command of the act, she still felt in control.

She matched the pace of her hands stroking up and down his cock with his short thrusts.

Their lustful rhythm caused a frisson of heat to spiral down her spine and strike at the center of her core.

Her sex throbbed, and wetness coated the inside of her thighs.

Her musky scent, combined with Aodh’s, heightened her need.

For a moment, she closed her eyes, and she continued to do her part in pleasuring him.

His thrusts became faster and stronger as his abs tightened. Peering up at his body, she noted how the cerulean of his markings became a midnight blue.

Kai expected to feel Aodh’s release in her mouth, but when tremors began in his body, he yanked his shaft away from her. He grabbed her by the waist. Aodh pulled her to her feet only to have them leave the floor as he stalked them across the room.

~YH~

Her mouth was fucking insatiable. A war had raged in Aodh’s body.

He wanted to keep fucking her mouth, but more than that, he wanted to feel her tight pussy surrounding him when he came.

When her delicate tongue had brushed over his beast’s ultra-sensitive stem, he practically lost his damn mind.

Aodh wasn’t concerned that the breeding stem would extend entirely, but the wicked bastard inside him could not resist getting involved.

Even if his dragon fought against claiming Kai, the beast was still up for wicked nefarious titillation.

Holding Kai close, he stared deep into her eyes as he carried her across the room. He didn’t have the patience to shorten his stride to match his steps to hers.

This was his space. Aodh knew it well. He didn’t need to see where they were going.

He couldn’t wait a second longer. Instead of the bed, he propelled them forward toward the long couch.

Setting Kai on her feet at the back of the sofa, he turned her around until Kai’s plump, round ass was facing him.

Briefly, he watched firelight create sensual, elusive lights and shadows on her enchanting skin.

He pressed a hand to the center of her back until she bent over and clutched the furniture.

Quick, he divested himself of his shoes and clothing.

Gripping her hip in one hand, he grabbed his hard length and set the head against her swollen, wet sex. The tiny, red crest of the stem was completely gone now. He glided up and down her slick folds, parting her lips with his broad head. He paused to rub and circle her clit.

“Oh...yes,” Kai moaned.

The sound was music to his ears, but he wanted to hear her screams of pleasure more. Sliding back up, he set his crown at her center and pressed into her. Still as snug as he remembered, he locked his jaw against the intense sensation.

He only had the head of his shaft in, but he felt his sack draw close to the base of his cock. Pulling out, he entered her again. This time, he did not stop until he was half in.

“Ah!” Kai cried out as her nails scratched over the fabric of the couch. But she didn’t pull away. Instead, she dipped her back lower and arched her ass higher.

Yes . Aodh gritted his teeth so tight he couldn’t get the word out.
