He hissed, “Bloody female,” and then pinched her nipple.
Jane arched her back at the pleasure mixed with pain. “Kai.”
Tweaking her again, he retreated and then slammed hard into her. Even after nearly two weeks of sex with her dragonman, she knew she would never tire of feeling his long, thick dick inside of her.
Kai released her breasts and took hold of her hips so she couldn’t move. But as the seconds ticked by and he didn’t do anything, Jane knew what was coming. She growled out, “I’m not going to beg.”
Without a word, Kai moved a hand around and lightly brushed her clit. “Just ask me nicely.”
Another light brush and Jane nearly screamed, both from frustration and pleasure.
Deciding she would have her turn with Kai next, she turned her voice sweet and answered, “Please.”
~~~
Kai was holding on by a thread. Between the post-battle high and his dragon wanting to fuck Jane until she couldn’t walk, he would come too soon if he wasn’t careful.
His beast huffed. She is wet and ready. Stop with the games. Take what is ours.
As Jane’s feminine scent surrounded him, Kai wanted his human more than his next breath. He’d just have to draw on every iota of self-control he possessed to hold out a little longer. Jane needed to come before him. Always.
His dragon growled. We can last. I will help. Just start moving.
Jane saying please broke his restraint and Kai held her hips in place as he pounded in and out of her tight, wet pussy.
It was the first time he’d felt her gripping his dick without a condom and it was hot, warm, and snug. In other words, it was bloody perfect.
He’d never tire of her. Jane was his and his alone. He needed to tell her.
Possessiveness coursed through his body and he growled. “Mine, Jane. You’re mine.”
He increased his pace and Jane raised her hips in answer. He loved how her sass melted away when he was inside of her.
Well, mostly melted away.
He pounded harder and the sound of flesh on flesh filled the room. Even with Kai guiding Jane’s hips, his female arched her back, unafraid to tell him what she wanted.
He moved a hand to around her abdomen and lifted Jane’s upper body. Moving his leg slightly in front of hers, he took her from a different angle.
Jane moaned as she leaned against his chest.
His dragon snarled. Make her scream.
Ignoring his beast, Kai roamed up her ribcage and gripped her breast possessively. Jane’s pointy nipple pressed against his palm. Rubbing in slow circles with his hand, Jane raised her hand to his head behind her and gripped his hair. “Kai. You know what I like. Do it.”
Kai grunted and lowered his head to Jane’s neck. He bit her where her neck met her shoulder and then soothed his bite with his tongue. “Later, I’m going to do the same to your breasts.”
He nuzzled her neck and Jane murmured, “Mm, yes.”
The pressure building at Kai’s spine told him he needed to hurry if he wanted Jane to come before him. He whispered, “I’ll torture you more later,” before releasing her breast.
As he rubbed down her abdomen, he finally reached her clit. Brushing it lightly with his forefinger, Jane moaned.
Kai continued to rub her nub in circles, increasing both the pace of his fingers and the thrust of his cock.
His balls slapped against her flesh, bringing his own orgasm closer. But Kai gritted his teeth. Jane needed to come first.
More than that, he needed her. She was their life. He needed to brand his female and convince her to stay.
Rubbing her clit in short, rough strokes, Jane screamed. Kai never stopped moving as she gripped and released his dick. Only when she started to soften did he place a possessive hand over her lower belly and give a few more rough thrusts before stilling. As he screamed her name, each spurt of semen wracked his body anew as pleasure shot through his body.
Never before had he felt as if he’d die from an orgasm. Only Jane could do this to him.
When he could finally string two thoughts together again, he knew he should hold his female close and talk.
But the urge to take her again was strong. His dragon roared. She is our mate. Take her.
She needs a rest.
No, Fuck her. Now. She’s ours.
Kai’s confusion gave his dragon an opportunity to seize control of his mind. Before Kai could push his beast back, his dragon forced them to pull out of Jane, flip her over, and restrain her hands over her head. “Mine.”
There was no fear in Jane’s eyes, only curiosity. “Hello, dragon. Can I have Kai back?”
“No. You’re mine.”
Kai attempted to push his beast back, but for once, his bloody dragon was too strong.
If he didn’t do something, his dragon would be fucking Jane instead of him. While the practice wasn’t unusual with dragon-shifters, Jane had no idea what she was getting into.
Finally, Jane opened her legs and said, “This should be interesting.”
Kai’s dragon roared out loud and plunged their cock into Jane’s pussy. As his beast pistoned their hips so hard that Jane’s breasts jiggled and the bed moved, Kai took a step back and tried to think of why his dragon was acting so possessive. There was no urgency to impregnate Jane, which came with the mate-claim frenzy. Nor did his semen send Jane into an orgasm like it did with true mates.
Maybe there was something else in between.
Then his dragon blasted a roar inside their head and Kai couldn’t concentrate. The need to brand Jane with their scent and make her come blocked out everything else.
His dragon released Jane’s hands and pushed her legs wider. They were nearly there. A few more seconds and they’d come.
~~~
Jane could barely think straight as Kai’s dragon took her roughly. She was still sensitive from her orgasm a few minutes before and each hard stroke of Kai’s cock inside of her sent her a little closer to the edge.
As she stared into Kai’s slitted pupils, she decided having his dragon in charge wasn’t that bad. Would Kai be upset if she asked to share sometimes?
Then Kai-slash-dragon pressed against her clit and she screamed. A pleasure that was nearly too much, hovering near the point of pain, rushed through her body. And yet her dragonman never ceased his movements.
She was still orgasming when Kai’s dragon roared, “Mine,” as he came. This time, she felt each hot spurt of semen.
When Kai finally collapsed on top of her, she loved the weight of his body on hers. As she traced a finger along the ridge of his spine, she really hoped she could experience this every day. She wanted Kai for her own.
Not just because he was great in bed, which was true. Jane loved his emerging humor, his stubbornness, and his dedication to those he cared about.
She was falling hard for him.
Yet she refused to examine her feelings until she knew she could keep him.
Kai’s rough voice filled her ear. “You alive, Janey?”
“So, you’re back, huh?”
Kai rolled to his back and dragged Jane onto his chest. Placing his finger under her chin, he raised her head until she met his eyes. “Are you okay? Did my dragon scare you?”
She smiled. “No. It was…different. But in a good way.”
“If you say he’s better, I will tie you to this bed and change your mind.”
Grinning, she tilted her head. “You still don’t have enough points to claim me that way yet.”
“Only because you cheat.”
“What? Me? A cheater? No, never.”
Kai grunted. “You’re such a cheater.”
In the next second, he tickled her side and Jane couldn’t stop laughing. After nearly two weeks, Kai knew her most ticklish spot was just under her armpit.
He didn’t hold back.
She kicked him in the shin a few times and he finally stopped. Nuzzling her cheek, he murmured, “You may be a cheater, but you�
�re my cheater.”
Jane melted at his words, but the niggling fear from earlier crept back into her mind. It must’ve shown on her face because Kai’s voice turned dominant. “Tell me why you will only ‘probably stay’ with me, Janey. Something’s bothering you and I don’t like it.”
“You could ask, you know.”
He hugged her tighter against his body. “Don’t try to distract me. Whatever it is, you can tell me.”
Jane rarely hesitated, but she did in that second. As much as she wanted to know the truth, Kai’s answer could instantly rip away the happiness she’d found with her dragonman.
Kai grunted. “Tell me, Jane. I’m not allowing you out of this bed until you do.”
She pushed past her fear and spit out, “It’s about Maggie Jones.”
Kai’s voice softened. “What about her?”
Jane picked at Kai’s chest hair before she answered, “I’m not your true mate, Kai. I understand that your dragon’s instincts are strong. If you want her, then tell me now. Because if she shows up a few years down the line wanting you and the frenzy takes over, it will break my heart.”
“Look at me, Jane Hartley.” She obeyed. Kai’s gaze was fierce as he continued, “It’s true that a frenzy can overcome a weaker dragon-shifter and they lose the ability to control their lives. But I am not weak-willed. You may have noticed my stubbornness.” Jane smiled at that and Kai traced her cheek. “I don’t want Maggie Jones. Hell, I don’t think my dragon even wants her anymore.” He traced her brow. “All we want is you, Jane. You’re clever, stubborn, and more beautiful than any female I’ve ever seen. I’m stronger with you at my side and while I won’t admit it to anyone else, I’m a better male because of you. You brought laughter back into my life when I thought I’d never have it.” He laid his forehead against hers. “I love you, Jane Hartley. Will you stay with me forever?”
Jane’s eyes teared up. “You say all of that with such conviction. I’m not sure I can say no.”
Kai growled. “That’s still not an answer, Janey.”
Jane raised a hand to Kai’s cheek and whispered, “I bloody love you, too, so I guess that means I don’t have a choice.”
Kai growled and flipped her onto her back. “Tell me you want to stay.”
“Kai Sutherland, I want to stay. You and Stonefire are my future.”
“Good answer,” he murmured before he kissed her and showed just how much he loved her.
Chapter Five
A few hours later, Kai squeezed Jane’s hand in his as they approached Bram’s cottage. “I still say we should’ve just talked with Bram over the phone.”
Jane squeezed back. “You of all people should appreciate a face-to-face conversation. There’s so much we can learn from Bram’s facial expressions.”
Kai grunted and looked down at Jane. “Remind me why I love you again.”
She grinned and his heart skipped a beat. “Because you can’t scare me and I don’t put up with your crap.”
Kai’s dragon grunted. Why did you let her convince us to do this? If you had allowed me to be in charge, I would’ve found other ways to persuade her to stay home.
It’s hard to say no to her. You know that.
We’re going to work on that soon. I can keep her in line.
Kai snorted inside his head. I’d like to see that.
Jane’s voice interrupted his conversation with his dragon. “What is your dragon going on about now?”
Kai paused and tugged Jane’s hand until she crashed against his body. “It doesn’t matter. Just give me a kiss to shut him up.”
“You’re going to try to order me around until I’m ninety years old, aren’t you?”
The corner of his mouth ticked up. “Probably. But I have other ways of getting what I want.”
Jane opened her mouth, but Kai cut her off with a slow, lingering kiss. He was about to wrap an arm around Jane’s waist and hold her tightly when Bram’s voice boomed out. “I believe your hour was up quite some time ago, Kai.”
Kai broke the kiss and murmured, “As if an hour is enough time to spend with my female.”
Bram spoke as if Kai had shouted it across the way. “You and Jane are the ones who wanted to see me, so hurry up. Evie’s feet are killing her and I’d like to massage them before much longer.”
Kai shook his head, gave Jane one last kiss, and turned to face his clan leader. “You’ve changed, Bram.”
Bram smiled. “Aye, and for the best. Much like yourself.”
Jane tugged Kai’s hand. “In the amount of time you’ve been teasing him, we could’ve received answers already. Let’s go.”
Kai followed Jane’s lead, but soon he was in front and tugging her along. They reached the front door and Bram stepped to the side as he motioned toward the living room. “We’ll talk in there.”
Kai guided Jane into the living room. Nodding to Evie, who sat in the armchair, Kai plopped onto the couch and tugged Jane into his lap. She landed with a squeak. “What are you doing?”
He hugged her tightly. “I want to hold the female I love in my lap. It’s not a crime.”
Jane tried to frown but ended up smiling. “There’s that hidden romantic side again.”
Kai merely grunted and Jane laughed. However, before he could say anything in response, Evie’s voice caught his attention. “I knew it. See, Bram? Kai and Jane are in love. Kai even mentioned it. There’s no way you can’t say I didn’t win the bet. I now have full naming rights to our unborn child.”
Bram sighed. “Aye, you do. Just don’t name our baby Gladys or Jethro.”
Mischief danced in Evie’s eyes. “Oh, I’m sure I can do worse.”
Bram shook his head before sitting on the arm of the chair and taking a possessive hold of Evie’s shoulders. “We can argue about it later. Kai and Jane requested a meeting, so let’s hear what they have to say.”
Kai laid his chin on Jane’s shoulder and met his clan leader in the eye. “Jane wants to stay.”
Jane wiggled in his lap. No doubt she was tempting him with her full bum against his cock. “Let me translate Kai-speak for you. Kai has asked me to be his mate and I’ve said yes. The question is twofold. One, will you allow it? And two, will the DDA allow it?”
As Bram’s eyes darted between Kai and Jane, Kai’s heart rate kicked up. There were very few situations that made Kai nervous or anxious. Only because he held Jane’s body close and was surrounded by her scent did Kai not jump up, tug Bram up by his shirt, and demand an answer.
Taking a deep inhalation of Jane’s scent, Kai waited for Bram to decide his future.
~~~
Jane clutched Kai’s arms around her waist. Being surrounded by his hard chest and delicious heat helped keep her nerves calm. She knew Bram was only half-responsible for her ability to live on Stonefire with Kai, but it was the important half. No doubt, Evie could work her magic with the DDA.
But if Bram said no or told Jane to leave, she wouldn’t have a choice.
Kai had offered to follow her wherever she went earlier, but she couldn’t allow him to leave Stonefire. He was the clan’s best chance at a secure future.
Bram grinned and Jane’s stomach stopped churning. “Of course my answer is yes. Jane can stay. I just like to make Kai sweat it a little since I rarely have the chance.”
Kai growled. “That’s not bloody funny, Bram.”
“I thought it was hilarious. But it was a test of sorts.”
Jane frowned. “What sort of test?”
Bram motioned toward them. “Watching the two of you hold onto to each other for support tells me volumes about your feelings for each other. Saying you love someone is grand, but actions speak the truth of a strong bond. The two of you belong together.”
Jane relaxed against Kai’s chest and her dragonman nuzzled her cheek as he asked, “What about the DDA?”
Evie waved a hand in dismissal. “I asked them about it last week. The special license is waiting in Bram’s study.”
Jane jumped in. “You knew before we even did?”
Evie smiled. “Of course. I have the best track record when it comes to guessing future mates.”
Bram grunted. “Only when you see them together. You’ve been dead wrong about Sid so far.”
Evie met her mate’s eyes. “She’s hard to read, but I’ll crack her yet.”
Jane cleared her throat. “As much as I’d love for Sid to find happiness, maybe one of you could collect the special license and give it to us?” Kai squeezed his arms around her waist and she rubbed his forearms as she added, “I just want to make sure you don’t change your mind.”
Bram stood. “Impatient, are you?”
“Yes,” Kai and Jane said in unison.
Bram chuckled and exited the room. Evie looked to them and tilted her head. “I somehow can’t see Kai wanting a grand mating ceremony in front of the clan, but if you two want one, maybe you can delay it a bit.”
Kai growled. “I want everyone to know Jane is mine.”
Jane patted his arm. “Calm down, boy. Let Evie finish.”
Kai growled again but remained silent. Evie placed her hand over her pregnant belly. “Once you two sign the license, you’ll be legally mated. However, if I know Jane at all, she’d like to use her mating ceremony as an opportunity to help the dragon-shifters’ cause.”
Jane raised her brows. “If I remember right, you did the same.”
“Yes, but it was only for a handful of reporters.”
“Not me,” Jane added.
Evie grinned. “No, but you won the best scoop in the end.”
Kai muttered, “Do I get a say in this?”
Jane turned her head to meet his eye. “Don’t you want your mum and sister to be there, too? It will take some time to garner permission from Snowridge. It’s just a ceremony. You’re already mine, dragonman.”
Bram entered and handed Jane a piece of paper. Written on it were the words, “Special Mating License.” In black ink were hers and Kai’s names.
