Captured Dragon (Water Dragons Book 2)

by Charlene Hartnady

  Flood needed to stop scenting the air. He could almost taste her on his tongue. He was going to react very soon because it was clear that Paige was getting wet. Her nipples would most likely be hard as well. Her body was preparing to rut. That didn’t mean she wished to rut though, so he forced himself to keep looking her in the eyes.

  “Yes.” She bit down on her bottom lip. “I am aroused. Very much so.”

  His cock turned stiff in less than three seconds flat. It couldn’t be helped.

  “I don’t think we should start over,” she said. “I think we should have sex. This time because we really want to—”

  “I wanted to before.” He looked sheepish. “Very much. It made me feel guilty.”

  “Me too, but I want to have sex for all the right reasons now. We wouldn’t have to hold back either.”

  He looked down. By claw, but her nipples were tight and pushing up against the fabric of her dress. “You want to try to make things work? I need to be clear on this. It wouldn’t just be fucking?”

  “I want to make a go of it, so no, it wouldn’t just be fucking. Although, I’m very keen on doing that again. Right now, if possible.” She smiled, her cheeks turning pink.

  “It’s more than possible. In fact, I can’t wait to be inside you.” He gripped her hips, pulling her closer. “I want to do so much and all at once.” He looked back up at her face.

  Paige was smiling, her beautiful blue eyes were dancing. “Like what?”

  “I want to kiss you and lick your pussy but I can’t do both.” His chest was heaving.

  Paige laughed softly, the sound going straight to his balls, which pulled tight. “That would be impossible.”

  “I want to ask you questions as well. Find out everything I can about you. I want you to cry out while I’m fucking you.”

  The scent of her arousal grew stronger. Her chest moved more quickly. She licked her lips. “I want all of that, but I might be useless at answering questions during sex since you take away my ability to make coherent thoughts.”

  Flood pressed his lips to hers. Their tongues dueled for a few seconds and their teeth clashed as he pulled her closer. He pulled back. “I’m sorry. I will have to learn how to do that.”

  “What, kiss?”

  “Yes.” He nodded. “I like it very much. I didn’t think I would.”

  “That was your first kiss?”

  Flood shook his head, noting her disappointment. “No, back in the cell when you were pushing air in my lungs. That was the first touching of the lips I had ever experienced.”

  She laughed. “That was hardly a kiss.”

  “It was to me.” He brushed his lips against her again and then picked her up. Paige laughed against his mouth and gripped his shoulders.

  In three quick strides, he had her on the bed. “I’m going to undress you.”

  “Okay.” She leaned up on her elbows so that she could watch him. He wanted to kiss her some more, but he also wanted to take that dress off. “What is your favorite color?”

  “Blue,” she said, without hesitation.

  “Like the ocean.”

  "I love the ocean," she said.

  He peeled her dress up. “I can’t wait to see all of you. I’ve felt you but I’ve never actually seen you.” His chest was heaving again. The scent of her arousal made his dick throb with need.

  She wore a pair of black lace panties. He pushed the fabric aside. Her slit was the prettiest pink he had ever seen.

  “What are you looking at?” She squirmed, wanting to close her legs.

  “I’m looking at how beautiful your pussy is.” Glistening. A tiny strip of fur. Her nub was already swollen.

  Paige laughed. “That part of the anatomy can’t be beautiful.”

  “Well, it is, just like the rest of you. Fucking stunning.” He leaned in and ran his tongue down her slit.

  Paige moaned.

  “Your favorite flower?” he asked, licking her again.

  “Can we talk later?” She was panting. He’d barely touched her and she was panting.

  Instead of answering, he suckled on her clit and she moaned. “No,” he said, lifting his head. “Tell me now.”

  She groaned in frustration. “I don’t really have a favorite. I don’t like cut flowers.” She spoke quickly. “I mean I like them, but I prefer them in their natural state.” She rocked her pelvis. “Please don’t ask me anything else.”

  He chuckled, lowering his head and lapping at her clit.

  Paige’s back bowed and she groaned. “God, that feels good.”

  “I’m feeling impatient,” he said against her flesh.

  “What does that mean?” More panting.

  Flood pushed two fingers into her wet channel, he used his other hand to rip the lace, baring her to him fully. Flood began to pump his fingers in and out of her. He zoned in on her g-spot. He knew exactly where it was. Then he put his mouth on her clit and suckled her some more, not letting up.

  Paige cried out. She tried to close her legs but he was there, between them, holding them open, holding her down. He pumped a little harder, licking her nub softly.

  “Oh…oh…shit!” she groaned. “I’m going to come…oh god…I’m…” Then she was coming apart with a long, deep wail he felt in the pit of his stomach.

  Flood forced himself to calm down as he licked her pussy, tasting her come. “I could eat you all day,” he growled.

  Paige’s head was thrown back. Her mouth was open. She was breathing heavily. Flood gripped her dress and ripped it open. He needed to see her. She wore breast coverings in the same lace as her panties.

  “I didn’t like that dress anyway,” she mumbled.

  He pulled at the straps of the coverings, growling as her breasts fell free.

  “Or that bra.” She smiled.

  “You are so beautiful. I need to fuck you.” He growled some more, his words thick and deep. He hoped he didn’t scare her.

  She swallowed thickly. “That can be arranged.” Paige smiled. Her gaze was heated. “I want to see you too.”

  Not afraid. Good! Flood yanked his pants down, watching as her eyes widened. She had seen him naked but he didn’t think she’d seen him fully erect before. Not properly. He kicked his pants off and kneeled before her.

  “You’re very sexy.” She licked her lips.

  No-one had called him that before. He liked it. It made him want her more. “I liked it when you were on top. I’ve never had a female that way before.”

  “Oh?” She arched a brow. “Careful, I might get jealous again if you talk about sex with other women.”

  “You have absolutely nothing to be jealous about. I’ve never wanted anyone more.”

  “In that case, do you want me to ride you?” She suddenly looked shy and unsure.

  “No, I want you on your knees. My dragon side needs it right now.” He worked hard at keeping his dragon under control. His nail beds tingled and there was a distinct chance that he might be sporting a few scales. “I need to dominate you and not the other way around. I don’t mean it in a bad way, just—”

  She smiled. “It’s fine! I understand. I quite like how out of control you look.”

  Paige touched his chest, running her fingers along his scales. Shit! She gave him a heated look that ignited the blood in his veins and then flipped over onto her knees, pulling off what was left of her dress. Her tattered underwear was still on even though everything was bared to him. So damned sexy, he felt his breath catch. Her ass was…it was… “Beautiful.” He squeezed and touched. He longed to suck on her nipples but that could wait. Flood needed to fuck. He needed it now. “I might be rough,” he said as he put a knee between her legs and shifted them open wider.

  “Good!” She sounded excited.

  “You need to tell me if I hurt you,” he added, lining up his cock with her opening and gripping her hips.

  “You won’t.” She pushed back against him.

  Flood pushed into her. It was a tight fit but he bot
tomed out on that first thrust anyway. He snarled as pleasure rushed through him. His balls pulling tight.

  Then he was thrusting into her. Loving the feel of her tight confines. Loving how wet she was. Loving the noises she was making.

  Flood crouched over her, planting a hand on the bed, holding her down with his body. He kept his thrusts hard and fast. They had plenty of time for slow. Plenty of time for drawn out. It wasn’t going to happen today though. Her chest was flush on the bed.

  “Don’t be afraid,” Flood said as he gripped her shoulder, pushing her down a little more, making it so it would be hard for her to move.

  “Not!” she choked out between mewls and pants. “Afraid!” she cried out as he pushed deeper. “Good!” she wailed.

  He could feel her tightening around him. Could hear the urgency in her calls. Instinct took over and he was too far gone to stop it. “Don’t move,” he managed to growl a warning. Then he bit down on her shoulder.

  Her pussy clamped down on him and Paige yelled his name in a long drawn out wail. It took a gargantuan effort to keep his teeth from sharpening, to keep from biting her harder as his own release took hold of him.

  It was only as he neared the end that he was able to let go. He slowed his pace. “I’m sorry. Shit! Are you okay?” He touched the red teeth marks on her neck. “The skin isn’t broken.” Even though he was worried, he kept moving. Kept on fucking her slowly.

  It was only a few seconds later, when he was finally able to stop, that she spoke. “It doesn’t hurt. In fact…wow!” Paige collapsed on the bed. She was breathing heavily. “That was crazy good. I went from being about to come to having what felt like four orgasms all rolled into one when you bit me.”

  Flood grunted as he pulled out of her. “You have an erogenous zone on your neck. Biting during sex makes the sex better, only…” He’d fucked up. “It’s only supposed to happen between mates. I’ve never bitten a female before. I’ve never been serious about someone before either. I won’t do it again.”

  “We’re dating.” Her eyes widened. “We are serious about each other, aren’t we?”

  “Definitely! Let’s be clear on that. I’m very serious about you.”

  “There you go. I’m sure it’s fine then.” She cupped his jaw.

  “The thing is, it’s risky, we might end up mating by accident. I won’t do it again until we’re sure it’s what we both want.”

  Paige made a face. “Okay, in that case, maybe we should hold off on the biting.” She smiled at him. “Just for a little while. I worry about rushing head-on into things.”

  He felt disappointed but at the same time, he understood.

  “Don’t look so sad. I’m happy we’re together. Let’s date and enjoy each other for a while.”

  His heart leaped. Flood leaned in and kissed Paige. Her lips were soft. Her mouth hot. It was good. He broke the kiss and jumped out of bed.

  Paige widened her eyes. “And now? Where are you going?”

  “I’m going to find food so that I can feed you. Then we’re doing that again. I would like to try a position where I can look into your eyes while I’m fucking you. We can try kissing during sex as well. I think it would feel really good.”

  Paige laughed. “You make it sound like you’ve never looked into a woman’s eyes during sex.”

  “I have never done so. I know you were on top that first time, but I looked away. I didn’t think it was right to watch you come. I wanted to…” He made a groaning noise. “I’m sure you look exquisite when you come. I didn’t do it though.”

  “That’s so sweet.” She got up and kissed him softly. Then she gave him a shove.

  “Hey!” Flood pretended to be upset when in fact he was smiling. “What was that for?”

  “Go already. I am hungry but I want to have lots more sex with you as well. The sooner you get back, the sooner we can get started.”

  Flood nodded. He almost fell on his face as he tried to put his pants on.

  Paige giggled. He laughed along with her. This felt so good. So right.

  Chapter 20

  The next morning…

  Paige felt warm and snuggly. She still felt sleepy even though it was probably already late morning, judging by the degree of sunlight that shone in through the windows. When she arched her back slightly, she realized she was a bit sore. Both her muscles and…down there. She was barely awake but she smiled anyway. She knew it was one of those dopey smiles. Oh well! Sometimes a girl had to smile like that. Especially after a night like she’d just had.

  Flood had her in his arms, she was flush against him. His big chest moved up and down rhythmically as he slept. More than likely tuckered out. They’d had sex quite a number of times. Catching snatches of sleep between sweaty bouts. He had worked hard! They’d also talked. Flood was sweet and sexy and everything she’d always wanted in a guy. She looked forward to spending the next few weeks with him.

  It was important that they explore their feelings for one another, now that they were free. It was equally important that they take their time, despite wanting to rush into things. She was thrilled when he had bitten her. She loved where this was going, but they needed to put the brakes on a bit. Too much too soon, after all they had been through, would be silly of them. She, of all people, knew what could happen, how things could go wrong if a good thing was rushed.

  “Good morning.” Flood leaned down and kissed the top of her head.

  “Good morning.” She rubbed her hand up and down his chest.

  “What were you thinking just then?” he asked, she could hear concern in his voice.

  “How do you know I was thinking anything?”

  “The subtle change in your breathing. You tensed up slightly, so I would say it’s something serious. Something you’re worried about.”

  She looked up at him. His eyes softened as hers locked with his. His lids were still at half-mast, his lashes, thick and gorgeous. “I was just thinking how awesome it’s going to be to spend time with you. I was thinking that it’s a good thing we’re going to get to know each other. Are you going to have to work while I’m here?”

  “My next shift is tomorrow but I plan on taking some leave days. I have many owing to me, but…” he huffed out a breath, “with everything going on with the hunters, I’m not sure I’m going to be able to take as much as I would like. I want to spend every day with you.” He cupped her jaw and leaned in for a kiss.

  He was becoming really good at kissing, and in such a short time. Flood smiled as he pulled back, making her feel all mushy inside. “I’m going to make you some breakfast and then…”

  “Mmmmm…” she smiled back.

  “Then I’m going to—”

  There was a knock at the door.

  Flood frowned. “Ignore it. I’m sure they’ll go away.” He spoke louder, like he wanted the person at the door to hear.

  She laughed softly. “We can’t just—”

  Another knock sounded, more insistent this time.

  “Sounds important,” she said.

  Flood pulled her sheet up higher, tucking it in around her breasts. “I will only be a minute. Less than a minute, then I’ll be back.”

  “Okay.” She nodded once.

  He grumbled to himself as he pulled his pants on. Then he strode to the door and opened it. Whoever was there greeted Flood, who mumbled a reply. Flood walked backwards. It didn't look like he wanted to let whomever it was, in.

  Bay poked his head around Flood’s large frame. “Morning, Paige.”

  Flood growled, sounding like an angry predator about to pounce. “What do you want? It’s my day off.” Then he looked up at the ceiling. “Wait a minute, it is my day off isn’t it?”

  “Yes, indeed it is,” Bay acknowledged. “Torrent needs to see you urgently though. I was told to take you straight to him and not to accept any excuses. I was also told that this is official and that he is summoning you as your king and not as your friend.” He, Torrent and Tide had hung out on many o
ccasions. Not so much anymore now that Torrent was mated and a father two times over. The male was busy. Tide was mated as well. Maybe things would change now that Flood had a female of his own. Maybe they would spend more time together again. He had to work to keep a goofy smile off his face.

  Then he remembered that Bay wanted to take him away from Paige and he frowned. "Why?" Flood ran a hand through his closely cropped hair. "What is this about?"

  Bay put his hands up. “No clue. I’m just the messenger.”

  Flood cursed. “So much for breakfast in bed.” He sighed, turning to Paige. “I can’t tell him to go to hell because he played the king card. The prick!”

  “I will pretend I didn’t hear you insult our king.” Bay smiled.

  “I don’t think he knows I’m with Paige, so I will dig deep and forgive our king. Give me a minute to clean up.”

  Bay grinned. “You might want to shower real quick.”

  Paige laughed when she saw Flood frown.

  “I’d probably brush my teeth, as well, if I was you.” Bay grinned.

  Flood growled and Bay took a couple of hurried steps back. “I will wait outside for you.”

  “Good idea!” Flood snapped.

  “Just following orders. Please be quick.” Bay backpedaled.

  Flood growled even deeper, again, reminding her of a lion.

  “You don’t want to keep our king waiting,” Bay hurriedly said the last bit as he ran the rest of the way out and slammed the door.

  Flood was clenching his fists, his muscles bulged. His whole demeanor softened as he turned and locked eyes with her. “I’m not sure what this is about,” he said as he walked to her. “Let me shower and get to Torrent, so that I can come back to you.” He kissed her softly. “It might have to do with those hunters. You stay right there in bed.” He kissed her again. “I’ll be back as soon as I can. I’ll let you know what’s going on. I hope we can still spend the day together.”

  “I hope so too.” She leaned up and pressed her lips to his, she wrapped her arms around him, her sheet falling down her torso.

  Flood groaned as he pulled away. “Don’t tempt me. I’ll be in huge shit if I disobey my king.”
