The Draglen Brothers - DRAKEN (BK 1)

by Solease Barner

  “Hi, Showken. It’s nothing, just seeing someone who hurt me, it can be a little too much at times.” I say, wiping my face with a handkerchief out of my handbag.

  “So, this man was your ex?” Layern says. Wow, how did I remember his name? He looks at me so caringly. I wonder if Draken is here too.

  “No, he’s not here.”

  “Shit!” I say, jumping back. How the hell did he know that? “How did you know what I was thinking?” I ask.

  “I didn’t, your body can tell me a lot, besides, I have what you might call strong perception.” Layern says, smiling.

  “Where is this guy that makes such a beautiful lady cry?” Showken asks, searching my eyes. I look around and see the other brothers’ eyes roaming over my body. Wow, at least someone wants me.

  “Don’t worry about him, Showken, I’m fine. I think I’m going home,” I say, turning to leave, but he pulls me back in front of him. I know these men are going to be trouble.

  “Wait, we just got here, and we want to dance,” Showken says, smiling, and I see those dimples again. Yikes!

  “We? I mean, I’m sure all the ladies would like to dance with you guys,” I say, blushing. They are just a bunch of sexy hot men. I really need to leave.

  “Showken, just tell her,” Gemi says, looking at me.

  “Tell me what?” Oh shit! What are they not telling me?

  “We are here to have fun, but also to see if you like our brother, Draken,” Gemi says, cocking his handsome face to the side. I notice they all are waiting for an answer. Why didn’t the asshole bother to come? Why send his brothers? I frown.

  “He doesn’t know. We are trying to help him out of his shell, so to speak,” Layern says, smiling. All this attention is going to have this girl going crazy. I look from brother to brother, and there’s something different about them. I know they are fine, and brothers, but they look like they could be very dangerous.

  “Umm, I… well, since it doesn’t seem like you’re going to let me leave, I guess let’s go dance!” I say, moving from the corner they have me in. I glance over my shoulder and smile. “I hope you can dance, because that’s my specialty.” I walk away towards the music and party people. I feel them right behind me, and I know they are there, there is a sense of danger there too. I hope they are not serial killers. I turn and look, and all smiles is what I see, as they walk like kings. I walk to the floor and begin to move. One of my favorite songs is playing, Ride, by Ciara. I feel hands on me as I’m dancing, and Showken is behind me. Wow, he can really dance, moving to my pace and never missing a step. This guy is really good! I close my eyes, feeling the song, as I feel another set of hands coming from in front, and there is Gemi dancing with me, and he is grinding on me like we are alone. Yikes, I’m so in trouble. I turn my head, and see Layern mouth “my turn next.” These guys are walking sex. That’s as simple as I can put it. If you look up sex, it will have all their pictures, especially Draken. I wonder why he is not here? He must not like me. Showken is whispering softly in my ear.

  “My brother Draken wanted us to check you out. Make sure before he asks you out that you are a big girl.”

  “What does that mean, a big girl?” He looks at me, and arches a brow as he chuckles. I see my friends laughing and eyeing them. Gemi makes me focus on him when he starts going down to the floor, making sure to rub his big, hot hands down my legs. This is a fantasy! Showken persists.

  “Well, Cess, it’s up to you. My brother wants you, he will take you on dates, buy you gifts, and treat you well. You have to be willing to share this body with him,” he whispers, as he turns me quickly, and now I’m facing him. Gemi is having a good time with me from behind. What are they doing, and what is he asking me to do, exactly?

  “What are you saying, Showken?” I say, looking him in his eyes. I’m trying to have an attitude, but he is so damn sexy.

  “I mean,” he says, “You are sexual when you’re dancing, and before you answer: the way you are dancing lets me know you are not a virgin,” Layern walks up, pushing him and Gemi away. They find new dance partners, the ladies and guys are staring at all three of them. Layern totally takes control of the dance as a new song comes on. He picks me up, and pulls my legs around his waist, and lays his hand on my belly, pressing me to lean back. I lean back, feeling the music, and now the dance is pure heat. It’s dirty dancing, with an R rating. I’m having a good time when he, too, asks me about Draken.

  “I’m sure my brother has told you about Draken.”

  “No, he has only asked if I will screw your brother!” I snap.

  “I see you’re upset,” Layern says, moving me slowly. “but you can’t deny you want him, right? Cess, I know you think Draken is an ass, yet you still want him. You’re young, nobody is saying you have to marry him. Our brother likes you. He just doesn’t know how to tell you, and that’s where we come in. You are new to him, Cess; you have a brother, wouldn’t you do anything for him?” I return the movements, letting him know I can dance too. I’m not up for sale, and I don’t care how handsome they are or how well these guys can dance, smile, and especially tempt me to make me go back on my promise. Their asshole brother can go to hell. I’m not dating or accepting gifts, and mostly definitely not screwing him.

  “No, no I’m not dating your brother.” I say, pulling away. “You and your brothers can find another slut. I choose to be single, and not because offers don’t come in on a regular basis. I’m Cess Lamil, and you need to look that up. I don’t need any gift, or anything he can do for me. I can provide for myself.” I walk away, going to speak with my girls. The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get. I walk up to Suzy, Jamie, and Kelly, who are gawking at my new sexy neighbors. I don’t think they even see me. Jamie is more the type they need, for what they’re asking.

  “Hello!” I say, waving my hands in their faces. They are all staring.

  “Cess, please tell me you’re going to go to bed with one of them tonight?” Kelly says, waving. I stand in front of them, placing my hand on my hip.

  “You can have them! They are here trying to fix me up with their brother, Draken, but want to make sure that I give up the cookies. What kind of-” I say.

  Before I can finish, Jamie is fussing. “Cess, you are so stuck on yourself. They should be protecting The Great Draken. I’m surprised you haven’t heard of him. If they are here on his behalf, consider it a privilege. You should watch the business world more closely. Draken and his brothers run Out of World Enterprises; it’s the third largest company in the world. I know you come from money, but the joke is, they are the money. You see where I’m going with this?” Jamie says, still smiling at them. I turn, and see all their eyes are on me. Why?

  “Jamie, maybe you should do it, I don’t want to, and you know all about him, go for it,” I say.

  “Jamie, if you won’t, I will,” Kelly says, freshening her lip gloss. “Oh shit, here comes one.”

  I turn, and Showken is there smiling at everyone. I have to stay away from him, and his brothers. I see Travis looking at me and his face says it all, jealousy. Yes! That is what I want him to feel.

  “Hello, beauties! Can I steal Cess for one second, and then may I have a dance with you, Kelly? My brother would like to dance with you now, Jamie.” Showken says, placing his hand in mine and walking me to one of the many balconies in Donna Marie’s house. Where is Donna Marie? If I have to guess, she and Rich are somewhere having sex. They are like rabbits.

  “I said no!”

  “I say, yes,” Showken says.

  “Why are you bothering me about this?” I frown.

  “Look, we are only here for 6 months, then we’re gone. Listen, it’s not an insult, actually we think very highly of you. We just want our brother happy, but if your answer is still no, we will not say another word. I do ask, though, if you would not mind coming to a party at our house next weekend. Draken spends most of his time at the office, so will you come?” He does that smile, and the dimples are my weakness
. “Yes, I will come.”

  “Thanks, Beautiful, now I’m off to have fun with Kelly,” Showken says, leaning in, and giving me a kiss, and then he whispers “Your ex is boiling mad, but that will teach him about breaking ladies’ hearts.” He walks away. I take a deep breath, trying to process all of this. I have just been asked to date Draken, and to make sure my body is at his disposal. WOW! I hear some crazy things, but this is number one. He is the finest man I’ve ever seen. How did Showken know my girlfriends’ names? Maybe they were introduced earlier, and Jamie seems to know all about them. Draken is all man. No, I will not set myself up for heartache, besides, why would I enter a six-month sexual relationship. I want long term, marriage, and maybe a couple of kids. I don’t want to just have a roll in the hay. Call me old-fashioned, I want it all. I decide to eat something, and head for the buffet.

  I feel a bump. “Hey, sis, I see you getting your groove on the dance floor. Everyone is talking about Cess, and the three guys you were dancing with, even Travis,” D says, grabbing a handful of cocktail shrimp.

  “D, I really don’t want to talk about it,” I say, sighing heavily. “I’m going to head home. I just want to sleep,” I close my eyes and see him standing in the door with that jet-black hair, and those light purple eyes, he has a presence that speaks volumes. His brothers do too, but Draken is in control. I mean, he made sure I was off the property, and when Showken tried to speak up, he was quieted. I still don’t get that, why would they obey him if they run the business together?

  “Hey sis, you just got here.” D says, smiling and hugging me. “Don’t let the neighbors, Travis or anyone else run you off. You’re a Lamil and the first-born girl. Besides, your twin is here, anybody giving you a problem I can handle them. I didn’t stop my martial arts training like you.”

  I stay for a little while longer, deciding to sneak away later. I drive home, take a hot shower, and climb into bed thinking of Draken. Maybe I need to experience this to put in my Bio for later in life. I do know Draken has a pull on me, and I would love to be under his body, or even on top. “Draken, you really make a girl warm.” I turn over, and fall asleep quickly.

  DRAKEN

  Fuuuuck! Why did they go to that party? They know what they are doing. Going to the party, and sending me vivid images of Cess in that dress, showing off those legs. Damn! Ravla is still here, and that should be my focus, yet that damn girl is still in my head. I have never wanted a human so badly in my life. Humans always make me disgusted with their superior attitude. Ha! If they only knew! Taking Cess as a Giver could cost her her life. I vowed, the last time I killed a human trying to be with one, that I would never do that again, it’s too painful to talk about. Being with Cess for long periods of time, I’m just not sure. Besides, being with me would mean so much more than she could ever understand. My brothers were very kind about showing me her facial expressions, when it came to me. She doesn’t know her face was red when Showken and Gemi danced with her. She is very nice to look at. The way her hips were grinding it was like a slow stir, very tender, and sexy. I could grind her too. These conflicting feelings are not what I expect out of my entire 427 years. Yet, this female human has me wanting her. That beautiful brown hair needs to be fisted in my hand. Travis needs to be taught a lesson. Showken and Layern will be dealt with later for their proposition of Cess being with me. She finds me disgusting, and shows no interest in me at all. I see she left the party early. I wonder why.

  “Ravla, you are truly amazing; I so enjoy when you please me. Thank you for coming, but I must get started on my work. If I need you again, I will send a message. The portal is ready,” I say, opening the bathroom door with my mind. The portal is open; she just needs to walk through, so I can go see Cess while she sleeps, and maybe visit her in her dreams.

  “Yes, of course, Draken. I look forward to your next request. I will always be your Giver if you want me,” Ravla says, bowing. As she reaches the portal, she turns and smiles. I hope she can be my Giver always, but Cess is who I want as a Giver right now. The problem is that I can’t tell her what all that means, or she will think I’m some crazy guy. I love our tradition, and it’s very much an honor to be chosen as a Giver.

  “Take care, Ravla. Remember, no other touch than mine, or you know what happens.”

  “Yes, Draken.” She walks through the portal, and it closes immediately behind her. Ravla is no fool, I’m sure she can sense my need for another. She knows the rules though, I can have more than one Giver. After having a shower I lie across my bed, wiping away Ravla. Closing my eyes, I enter Cess’ room very slowly. Another benefit of being a Dragon shifter is being able to enter any place without being seen. I want to see her and smell her scent again. I’m not sure if she is Giver material, but if I want her, then she will be mine. If only she were not human; that is the problem when and if I take her to Cortamagen, and it’s a very dangerous problem. Her room says “girl” all around. I see she has books, music, and dance pictures everywhere. She’s not a neatness fanatic. Hmmm, I see she is dedicated to her studies. When I glance at her bed, she looks peaceful, and sexy as hell. She stirs in her sleep, and I know I have to see what she is dreaming about, this may help me to decide if she’s worth pursuing. A person’s dreams can say a lot about her, showing how she will behave day to day. Humans have this need to dismiss dreams, but in my world, a dream is the truth of what one may want to happen. I enter her dream, and see her dancing on stage, interesting. I watch as her dream progresses into a place on the beach, where she is crying. I wonder why? I should make my presence known. I walk up the beach, and notice her mingled shock and pleasure. I need to know why she’s crying; it’s a dream to her, and she will never know I was really here.

  “Why are you crying, Cess?” I ask. She turns, and her face is all flushed. Wow, she is beautiful.

  “I’m not sure,” she says, blinking at me. I sit next to her, and place my arms around her, comforting her. I feel myself getting solid like a rock. Damn! It’s a dream, no harm in playing. Her body is too perfect. I start with her neck, kissing and sucking very gently. She turns, placing her lips on mine, and I start to suck her upper lip, moving quickly for her tongue. She tastes extremely good. I could feast on her all day and night. When I hear the word “Yes” moaned, I know I am good to go. I remove her top and bottom, laying her down. Her breasts are perfect for my hand. Her nipples are a dark brown; I must taste them. I squeeze, and she gives me the answer I want. Her cry for more is all I need. I place my mouth around her left breast, sucking and pulling, making sure she can feel my heat. Cess’ response to me is really good, a Giver she will be.

  “Please?” she asks. I chuckle, because I feel her humping my leg. I will have this girl, but not in a dream.

  “Please what?” I ask. I want her to say it. She needs to admit her want, and her desire for me. I want her as a Giver. I need to know everything she wants.

  “Please, can you make me come,” she demands, with her mouth open, and eyes closed. Who is this girl? Those words coming from her mouth are sexy. She will be my downfall, but I will give her a release. “Draken, I want you.”

  “I know, now you’re going to get real hot baby, but don’t worry, you will come,” I say, placing my hands on her lower belly. I release a heat through my hand, she screams out in satisfaction. I know I will need to hear that more often. “Yes, scream for me,” I say, moving my head down to taste her sex. She is delicious. If I had known human women tasted so good, I would have taken a human Giver. I let my tongue clean her thighs, and her sweet arousal, making sure every drop is gone. She continues to squirm, making me want her more. Maybe she will be what I need. Now I’ve had a taste, and seen she wants me too, I will make her a Giver. I stand up, placing a kiss on her soft lips, and leave the dream. Before I leave her room, I decide to leave her a gift. I place my hand on a piece of paper on her desk, leaving my mark. “Cess, I’ll come for you soon,” I say, leaving her room. Opening my eyes, I smell my hands, inhaling deeply. Oh yes, I want
to taste more. Placing my fingers in my mouth, I suck all that I can get of Cess. I will take a shower, and then I will decide when I should take her. Cess out of the dream will not like my rules, Cess in the dream is amazing. I will figure this out. I will start on work, though. My needs will have to wait, business is always first. Heading for the shower I hear my brothers, and smell their company. They had better make sure nothing weird happens, or they will have me to deal with. Showering, I feel my brother’s presence.

  “What?” I ask.

  “Did you see Cess? I sent as much as possible. She wants you, and I think having her as a Giver will help you understand the humans better,” Showken says, smiling.

  “Whom did you bring home?” I glare.

  “Oh, that’s one of Cess’ friends, Kelly. I will have fun with her tonight,” Showken says, rubbing his hands together.

  “Just make sure you don’t kill her or let her fall for you, and please disguise your face, so she thinks she’s with someone else. Make sure to spread the message,” I say, still washing.

  “I’m sure they can hear, and Layern didn’t bring anyone,” Showken says, cocking his head, letting me know he is still having a problem. “Hey, umm brother, when I came in the house I smelled Ravla and Cess. Why is that?”

  “Get the fuck out, Showken.”

  “Okay, tell me the details later, but you’re going to make Cess your Giver, aren’t you?”

  “GET OUT!”

  “Okay, I have a date waiting,” Showken says, backing out, his hands held up in surrender.

  “Remember, work starts tomorrow, so get what you can tonight. Have them gone before I rise in the morning,” I say, knowing he can hear me as well as the others.

  Climbing out of the shower, I grab a towel, drying my hair, and going to air-dry on my bed. I quickly remember I have not spoken with Timothy, our manager. I need to call him. I reach for my phone to make the call. He knows to answer when I call, day or night.
