Then he brought her legs over his shoulders before he gripped her thighs firmly and pulled them wider. She was so open to him pain sparked in her hip joints, but it transformed into the need her body couldn’t douse.

“You're ours, mate. Let us have you.”

His words drew her, and she stared into his cerulean-flamed eyes shadowed by sapphire.

Like his markings, his eyes glowed so bright she knew she stared at both man and beast. Just as Kai thought she was ready to accept them as one, she gasped and choked on the large amount of air trapped in her lungs as she saw the tiny ball of fire roll along the center of Aodh’s tongue and linger at the tip.

She tried to slide back and move away from it, but his hold was firm.

It immobilized her. The only thing Kai could do was watch and pray it didn’t engulf her.

She changed her mind about whether this was what she had been waiting for when she thought about being claimed by his dragon.

Kai could barely handle the man's restrained fervor.

The thought that she was not ready for the beast flooded her mind.

“Trust us,” he whispered, drawing in the fire that resembled his eyes and markings.

Kai swallowed and tried not to freak out about the fact a flame, real fire, was barely an inch away from her delicate sex.

Then he parted his lips and slid his tongue out with that same ball of fire dancing at the end. He bowed his head toward her.

Unable to hold back, Kai let out a scream in fear as the sizzling pain licked the tip of her clit. It quickly morphed into a scream of ecstasy as Aodh rolled the flame around, and around, and around her clit.

It was hot, so blazing hot, and so intense Kai came.

Aodh continued to seduce her with the fire, building her need higher and higher until she was exploding again.

Kai was out of her mind. With the little movement she could execute, she thrust her hips up to his mouth, fucking the small torch and his tongue.

She couldn’t get enough. Her hands clenched his hair one minute, only to flail and grab at the bedding to finally settle on her breasts.

Her back arched, bowing high off the bed as she palmed the swells and pinched at her nipples, sparking more pain in her body and more pleasure.

“Aodh...Mckenna...Aoooodh,” she was whimpering and crying out in ecstasy as her body climaxed a fourth or fifth time. Perhaps it was the sixth. She didn’t know, and she didn’t care.

When he dipped down and pressed his stiff, hot tongue inside of her and set her walls ablaze with the scorching flame, her orgasms became one long eruption.

She was thrusting and bucking, fucking his searing tongue, and begged for more and Aodh not to stop until everything turned hazy and out of focus around her.

Limp, she lay there, unable to do more than breathe. She no longer had control over her body as it seemed to float above her. There was no bed beneath her or stone walls surrounding her. Every part of her centered on the sensation of Aodh in her pussy.

He pulled away. “Stay with me, mate. We have only just begun.” He gave a small kiss to her pulsating, hot sex before he moved up, licking her mons and rolling the flame over her lower belly.

The situation was now more soothing, allowing her to come down some from the heights her desire had reached.

As she gazed down at him, she no longer feared the blaze but accepted it as a part of Aodh, a part of them.

He slid a hand under her ass and up to the center of her back. Aodh pressed his flat, open palm against her, then lifted and slid her lush body up the bed.

Damn, was there no limit to the strength of this man?

She was lifted and moved twice until her head rested on the pillows, and Aodh stretched above her.

As he crawled up the bed and settled between her legs, his face was close to hers. She reached up and cupped his strong jaw. She held him and stared into his eyes for a moment. “You overwhelm me.”

She wasn’t sure if those words gave voice to the feelings swirling inside her.

Aodh had been her first in so many ways, not only sexually but emotionally.

She had only loved her parents and sister, but it was natural.

However, she had no experience falling in love and was a bit afraid of scribing those words to her feelings.

Especially when she wasn’t sure if Aodh felt the same way.

Maybe it was just their connection, him seeing her as his mate, his responsibility to his people, and his duty.

Thinking about it made her heart ache. She was honest that she wanted to be more to Aodh, but for now, she wouldn’t push and be okay with whatever was between them.

Closing the gap, he gave her soft kisses as he spoke. “You impress me, little flame. Your courage and unbridled passion.” The head of his cock brushed along her sex, gliding through her wetness. “Your trust in me stirs and heats me inside.”

She’d take that. Smiling against Aodh’s mouth, she slipped her hand between their bodies. When she reached his length, she wrapped her hand around his stiff shaft. “I want to return the pleasure you gave me.”

He groaned as she pumped his length once, then a second time. He took hold of her hand and pulled it away. Moving it to his chest, he held it there in the center.

Boom, boom. Boom, boom. She felt his heart pound in the same rhythm as the dragon’s, and the phenomenal occurrence ignited the connection she’d experienced with the giant beast.

Aodh pressed his forehead to hers. “Not tonight, mate. This night is about you, about your claiming.”

“Can’t we claim each other?” She kissed the corner of his mouth, then the other side.

He chuckled. “It will happen for both of us.”

When he slipped his hand behind her head and kissed deep, she moaned at his taste—red-hot honey.

She savored the kick of heat that laced the syrupy sweetness that coated his tongue.

She was the one to deepen the kiss. Fisting his hair, she slid her tongue into his mouth and traced along every surface before she dove deeper.

His fiery blend made her crave more. She couldn’t seem to get enough.

Aodh’s tongue greeted and caressed hers as she drove into his mouth, but he let her take the lead in the kiss.

Was it the fire on his tongue that made him taste so delicious? She wasn’t sure, but what she did know was that her body began to throb and ache all over again for him. Kai pulled away, resting her head in his hand. “Aodh, I need you to fuck me.”

His answer was a growl that she felt rumble through his body against hers.

“Oh, little flame, we plan to claim you this night. A Pack of angry wolves could not keep us from having you.”

His words sparked her mind and made her, for a moment, think of the situation with her sister, but she pushed that to the back of her mind. She would deal with it later, but it was all about her and Aodh now. And his dragon.

She smiled as she let the thought of his dragon fill her mind at how he accepted her.

She was excited to have met him and couldn’t wait to see him again.

The plurality of Aodh’s words didn’t cause her pause.

She figured now that she had met his beast. It was his way of reminding her that it was a part of him.

Something she didn’t think she would ever forget.

Wanting Aodh to know she accepted him and the dragon within him, she held his gaze and bid, “Show me your fire.”

The smile on Aodh’s lips was devious in a sexy way as he slipped the broad, bulbous head of his cock inside her. She clutched his shoulders, digging her nails into her thick, firm muscles as her sex stretched around his girth. Her wetness eased the way for him to push deeper.

Her lids lowered as she drew her knees up along his hips, wanting more of him.

Not even halfway in, Aodh pulled back until only his crown was left. Then, he began to sink in again, going deeper.

“Aodh...”

“Little flame.” His voice drew her to him, focusing back on his face.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the small blaze on his tongue again. The sight of it fascinated her and caused her body to become pliant, and his length entered further.

“Oh,” she moaned at the sight and feel of him.

He tipped his head down, making her think he would lick her lips with the flame, but a breath away, Aodh drew in his tongue and extinguished it as he closed his mouth. Then he was kissing her, feeding her his hot honey taste as he thrust in, filling her pussy.

Aodh hooked his arms under her knees and pulled them higher and wider at the side of her chest. He began to fuck her deep, his head pressing her cervix. Her walls flexed around him, squeezing him tighter and wanting to keep him deep inside of her.

He growled and continued to thrust and kiss her, commanding her body.

Her climax started in her core and quivered out through her body. Her orgasm caused her entrance to become more slick, easing the discomfort at the depth of Aodh's penetration.

When he pressed closer, his chest covering her, she felt the pulsing heat of his markings sear her nipples and ignite a second orgasm. She cried out.

Over and over, he thrust until he followed her to completion.

His body shook on top of her. Their kissing ended as white smoke poured out of his mouth, surrounding them and filling the room.

It wasn’t so dense that it clouded her vision, but it gave her a sense of comfort.

Aodh had a way of making her feel outside of herself when she came.

As she attempted to become cognizant of the world around her, Aodh continued to rock gently, making slow, short thrusts that kept them both on the edge of desire.

Even though they both came, his cock was still hard and pulsing deep inside her.

He kissed softly along her temple, seeming content to hold her close.

It was then she became aware of something...something else.

She gasped and flinched as she felt as if Aodh was pushing deeper, deeper past her cervix.

“Ow!” She attempted to get her hands between them to press against his chest and move him off her. When she couldn’t because of his tight hold, she whimpered, “Aodh...wait...”

“Shh...mate,” he whispered against her ear. “Let him in.”

“Let...who?” Confused, she attempted to shift her hips back and pull away from him.

Aodh started a slow grind, pressing his pelvis against her clit, sending sparks of pleasure through her even as she tried to grasp what was happening in her sex.

“Relax. My dragon must claim you.”

His words from before, ‘we plan to claim you this night,’ now made sense.

Kai wanted to fight against it. She wanted to yell at Aodh to stop or pull out.

But as Aodh continued to move and the augmented appendage within his cock went deeper into her womb, something similar to an endorphins rush spread from her core and laced her blood.

The pain she felt at the entry dissipated, and now a feeling of euphoric pleasure filled her veins.

Moans began to fall from her lips. Where her hands had once pushed against Aodh’s large body, she was now gripping his sides, pulling him closer.

She lost track of how long they stayed like that, slowly grinding their sexes together. Neither did she care when the first orgasm arrested her. Before it ended, it spun into another, and another, and another.

Whimpers and moans tumbled from her mouth when she wasn’t pleading for more. Until Aodh came, and a heat filled her womb so great that it went through her limbs, warming her all over. Her climax that followed took her out and buried her in darkness.

“I’m here...” Aodh’s rough, deep voice brought her back.

Unsure of how long she had been out, Kai discovered herself curled into his side with his arms wrapped around her. One of his hands sank into her wild curls while his other caressed up and down her back.

“I’m here, little flame.”

“Aodh?” her voice sounded hoarse to her ears, her throat felt sore and overused. Even though she had just been out, she felt tired and desired sleep.

“Yes, mate.” He rolled her to her back but kept his warmth close as he stretched out beside her. He rested his head on his fist and stared at her as his other hand idly drew designs along her side.

She swallowed and licked her lips, trying to moisten her parched mouth.

She traveled her gaze down Aodh’s naked form, taking in all his detailed markings, now black without illumination.

When she got to his cock, still semi-erect and imposing where it rested on her hip, she didn’t see anything abnormal.

It appeared as it always did, glorious and hulking with the tiny berry-colored bead in the tip, nothing to explain what had transpired inside her. She glanced back up. “Is it done?”

As if he knew what she was asking, he nodded. His hand at her waist moved up, brushing the underside of her breast before stopping at her heart. “Yes, little flame. You are truly my mate now.”

Joy unspeakable filled her. Lifting a hand, she ran her fingers along his sculpted lips. “I’m glad, Mckenna.”

A flame flashed in his eyes but went away as fast.

She lowered her hand back to the bed and sighed. Closing her eyes, she wanted nothing more than sleep. It had been a long damn day.

He seemed content to stare at her; she was content enough to let him.

Lazily, Aodh trailed his fingers from her breasts to the soft curve of her belly. His muscular, blunt tips glided over her skin in a circular motion. She hissed when he paused momentarily and then slowly dragged one finger down.

She didn’t know how to describe the tingling sensation of the area, but it was oddly sensitive, too.

Kai rose on her elbows and glanced down and expected to see a blister or reddened skin of a burn mark, believing she’d been too far gone in pleasure, and Aodh had accidentally let his flame scald her.

However, she saw an ebony-colored mark resembling a single scale that sat two inches below her navel and right above her mons.

“What the hell?”
