“Oh, Dragon,” she groaned.
“You’re so fucking wet,” he told her. Damn, she was wet as fuck. He slid into her easily, and the sensation was un-fucking-believable. He loved how incredible the moment was. He was going to go crazy with just how damn fantastic she was.
“More,” she whispered.
With his free hand, he dug his fingernails into her bottom and pulled her closer to his body. He was being rough with her, but he didn’t care. He knew she could take it. Coconut was wild and wanton and hot as hell, and when he tightened his grip on her neck just the slightest bit with his other hand, he could feel her reaction in her pussy.
“You like being choked a little bit, don’t you, Coconut?”
“No,” she whispered.
He choked her just the slightest bit harder, and she groaned.
“Okay,” she murmured. “I like it a lot.”
“Have you ever been fucked like this before?”
“No,” she whispered, and he knew she was telling the truth.
“Is it because you’re a good girl, Coconut?”
“Yes,” she whispered.
“Are you a good girl now?”
“Not anymore, Dragon. You make me want to be so fucking bad.”
“How bad?”
She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away, and he instantly released her and took a step back. He wasn’t sure, at first, if he’d done something wrong, something that might have offended her, but she wasn’t angry. He could scent that she was still aroused.
“What is it, Coconut?”
“I just...I need to suck your dick,” she said breathlessly. Then she nodded, as if to herself. “Yes, that’s what I need. Right now...I just....I need your cock in my mouth.”
She hopped off of the counter and dropped to her knees, and then she reached for him. His pants were still around his ankles and his shirt was still on, but she ignored all of that and just started sucking his cock.
Brian instantly grabbed the counter with his right hand. His left found its way to her hair, and he played with it as she blew him.
“Fuck,” he said.
She just kept sucking. Oh, this little human was going to be the death of him if he wasn’t careful. He could already tell. He was falling for her, and it had only been hours since they’d met. She was the hottest girl he’d ever been with, and she was funny and quirky, and she seemed genuinely kind, and now...
Well, now he was on the verge of coming.
“I’m going to come,” he murmured.
She reached for his balls in response, and she squeezed gently.
“Coconut, I’m going to come,” he repeated. He wanted to give her a chance to pull away from him if she wanted to. Not all girls were ready to have a dragon shifter come in their mouth, and if she wasn’t, well, he wanted to respect that.
Coconut didn’t seem to mind at all, though. He thought it actually looked like she was smirking as she reached for him again and sucked harder, faster, and then it happened.
The orgasm hit him all at once. He groaned as he came, filling her mouth with his cum. Coconut didn’t seem to mind at all, and she kept sucking until the last waves of pleasure had faded.
She swallowed, and then she pulled back and smiled up at him.
Oh, when she looked at him like that, Brian knew he was in trouble. He was in so much fucking trouble that he didn’t know what to do.
“Coconut,” he murmured.
She didn’t say anything. She just leaned forward and swiped her tongue over the edge of his cock, and then she pressed her lips there.
Yeah, he was in trouble.
He liked this one.
A lot.
Chapter 8
After a luxurious bubble bath that would put any normal hot tub experience to shame, Winter went to bed. Dragon wrapped his arms around her and tugged her close in his huge, over-the-top bed. He spooned her all night, and she was surprised again at just how comfortable she felt with him.
She wasn’t sure how she was supposed to feel with this strange man, but somehow, “comfortable” wasn’t the word at the top of the list. When she woke up, the bed was empty, and she sat up, stretched, and looked around.
“Wow.”
It was the only word that could describe his place in the daytime. The ceilings in the house were huge. He’d told her he was a shifter. She assumed it was because he was a dragon.
Well, the bedroom definitely looked like an enormous dragon cave.
Tall ceilings stretched up endlessly into a pointed peak. If he was a dragon shifter, Winter bet he could shift right in this room and never have any issues or problems with that.
“Like what you see?”
Winter turned to see Dragon standing in the doorway. He was leaning against it, smiling at her, and he was wearing nothing at all.
“Oh yes,” she murmured.
Yes, she liked it a lot.
“No regrets?”
“No regrets,” she nodded.
She didn’t know how it was possible, but she felt very comfortable with this man: happy, even. There was something kind and sweet about him that put her right at ease.
Winter had known enough men to know that finding someone who made you feel comfortable, as well as sexy, was a rare treat.
“Can I entice you to join me for breakfast?” Dragon asked with a grin.
“I do love food.”
“Good,” he nodded in approval. “I made eggs and bacon.”
“Sounds great.”
As if on cue, Winter’s stomach growled, and Dragon laughed as he took her hand and led her from the bedroom.
“Wow,” she murmured, looking at the ornate decorations in the hall outside of his room.
“I guess you didn’t get a good look at the place last night,” he said.
“That would be correct.”
It was huge.
She’d never been in a mansion before, and while the house wasn’t exactly of mansion-size, it was certainly decorated like a magical, fairytale sort of home. The walls had floor-to-ceiling banners hanging on them, and each one had a dragon on it.
“So, is it safe to say that you’re a dragon shifter?”
“That would be a fair guess.”
“Am I going to get to see you shift?”
Dragon stopped walking and looked at her.
“Is that something you would want to see?”
“Of course,” she said. “I think we’re far past being polite and well-mannered,” she chuckled, “otherwise, I’d definitely be like ‘oh, no, that’s okay.’”
“I don’t usually let women see me shift,” he told her.
“Why not?”
“It’s just sort-of a personal thing.”
“I was under the impression that Sapphire Island is kind of a haven for shifters,” Winter pointed out. At least, that was what the people she’d interviewed so far had told her.
“It is.”
Then it hit her.
“But I’m human,” she nodded.
“I usually date humans,” Dragon said. “They don’t usually know I’m a shifter.”
“Is that so?”
“I have a fear, however strange it may be, that a woman might only want to date me because I’m a shifter or because I have a big house.”
“So, you don’t want to date any gold-diggers?”
“Pretty much.”
“How do you know I’m not a gold-digger?” Winter raised an eyebrow. “It’s possible, you know.”
“You were camping on the beach outside of my house and didn’t try to break in,” he chuckled. “And I’m pretty sure you didn’t realize I was the owner of the house when you decided to ride my cock.”
She blushed.
Okay, so she definitely wasn’t a gold digger.
Should she be happy or upset that he realized her good intentions so quickly?
“I could be a bad girl,” she said.
“Coconut, there’s not a bad bone in
your body,” Dragon said. He kissed her on the nose, and then he kept walking. “Come on,” he called over his shoulder. “Let’s get you fed.”
AFTER BREAKFAST, THEY made love in the living room, and then the hallway, and eventually, they made their way to the backyard. Winter was tired and sweaty. She also hadn’t bothered getting dressed at all.
He didn’t seem to mind.
Dragon was naked, too, and she really liked how comfortable he was in his own skin. She was used to being around people who were a little bit nervous about how they looked. Everyone had self-esteem issues from time-to-time, right?
Only, he didn’t seem to.
“Let’s go,” he took her hand and guided her toward the gate.
“Where are we going?”
“Where do you think?”
The ocean.
She’d never look at it the same way.
From now on, every time she saw the water, she’d think of him fucking her right on the beach. He’d taken her while she looked at the water, and it was the most erotic and incredible thing she’d ever experienced.
“It’s so beautiful,” Winter said.
“I know.”
She looked over at Dragon, but he wasn’t looking at the water.
He was looking at her.
Oh, a girl could get used to being treated like this. He always looked at her like she was this beautiful princess, like he couldn’t get enough of her, and she loved that. She liked how he eye-fucked her constantly.
Her body was sore and tired in the most delicious ways. This weekend was proving to be even more incredible than she could have possibly hoped it would be.
It was only Saturday, and already Winter was dreading Monday
She didn’t want the weekend to end.
When Monday rolled around, she’d have to say goodbye to him, and as she let her eyes wander from the man beside her back to the water, she knew that it was going to be a very hard day.
“Race you.”
“What?” Winter blinked, staring at him.
“Race you.”
“But you’re a dragon,” she pointed out the obvious.
“Yes,” he nodded, “I am a dragon.”
“You’ll win.”
“I’ll give you a head start.”
“I don’t think this is going to be a very fair race,” she pointed out.
“I’ll count to ten,” he said. “Then I’ll start running.”
“But-”
“Ten. Nine. Eight.”
She started moving before he got to “seven,” and she didn’t look back. She just ran, letting her feet slide a little in the sand as she moved as quickly as she possible could, scurrying to the ocean. She wanted to reach that water, wanted to dip her toes in it.
She wanted to throw her entire body in the water and just be.
There were some perks to this entire “private beach” thing. Nobody was around. There were no joggers, no swimmers, and no dog-walkers. There was nobody here to catch them running naked toward the water.
Winter had almost reached the waves when something big flew by her, and she turned, falling on her ass in the sand when she saw that it was.
“A dragon.”
It was.
He was a big, silver-and-purple dragon with huge wings that seemed to stretch out forever. Dragon turned to her and bared his teeth. She thought that must be the shifter equivalent of a smile.
“Wow.”
He looked at her for a moment before flying to the water and diving down beneath the waves.
“Oh, that’s cheating,” she murmured, but she got up, brushed herself off, and kept running.
Winter had an entire afternoon to spend swimming with this gorgeous dragon man, and she didn’t plan on wasting a second of it.
“Ready or not,” she laughed, and she raced into the water.
Chapter 9
She was intoxicating.
Perfect.
Wonderful.
And he’d shown her his dragon side.
Brian still couldn’t quite believe that he’d done it. He didn’t know what had come over him. They’d been running down to the water to go swimming, and he’d just...shifted.
It had just happened.
She hadn’t freaked out, either.
They’d spent hours just splashing in the water together. He’d shifted back to his human form to fuck her in the waves, and then he’d changed back to a dragon and he’d taken her on a ride. She’d laughed, and he’d laughed, and they’d both had the best time.
When they’d finally returned to his house, they’d ordered pizza, eaten it in the tub, and then passed out watching a movie he’d seen a million times before.
Now Brian was on the couch with her head in his lap, and he was looking at her like she was the most perfect thing in all of creation.
She couldn’t be his mate, could she?
He wanted to believe that she was. For the first time in a very long time, Brian was feeling hopeful. Passionate. Happy.
He slipped off of the couch and repositioned her with pillows and blankets. He made sure she was comfortable, and considering the fact that she didn’t move, he thought she was probably doing okay.
Then he grabbed his cell phone and headed outside to sit down on the deck. The ocean was so close. He could hear it, and he could smell it, and even in the darkness, he could see the waves crashing on top of each other.
He’d chosen this house carefully, taking the time to choose a place where he would feel comfortable being himself. While Declan had created the world’s most wonderful treehouse and Christopher had chosen a high-tech home in the heart of the city, Brian had moved to the beach.
He felt at peace here.
He couldn’t quite put a finger on exactly why he loved this place so much, except that things felt simple.
He called Christopher.
“Brother?” Christopher answered on the first ring. “Are you okay? What’s wrong?”
“It doesn’t sound like you were asleep,” Brian pointed out.
“Of course not. You know I’m a night owl.”
“Is everything okay?” Christopher’s mate, Allison, was near to him. Her voice carried to the phone, and although she wasn’t the one actually speaking to Brian, he could hear her clearly.
“It’s Brian,” Christopher said. “Go ahead to the bath. I’ll be there soon.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
So, Christopher and his mate were busy tonight, too. How interesting. It seemed as though Brian wasn’t the only Monster dragon playing around tonight.
“What’s going on, brother?” Christopher asked.
“I’m sorry for interrupting.”
“You’re fine.”
“I need to ask you something.”
“Anything.”
Brian knew it was a little crazy to call his brother in the middle of the night. His brother was a true night owl, as he’d said, but Brian still felt bad. There was no reason that this question couldn’t wait for Monday, but somehow, he kind of started to feel like it couldn’t.
“How did you know Allison was your mate?”
Silence.
It was complete silence on the other end of the call. Brian pulled his phone away from his ear to check it. Sure enough, the call was still connected.
“Christopher?”
“Brian, you’re calling me in the middle of the night to ask how I knew that Allison was my mate?”
“Um, yes?”
“Who is she?”
He tensed.
“What?”
“Who is she?”
“There’s no one. It’s just a question.”
“Bullshit,” Christopher laughed. “You met someone.”
“No.”
“Liar.”
Yeah, he was a liar. He was a total, complete liar, and he didn’t want to admit that he felt a weird connection to Coconut. Could she be the girl he was destined to fall in love with?
> He felt so wildly comfortable with her that it was insane. He felt happy and content when they were together. Everything she did either made him laugh or made him feel complete.
She was wild and spontaneous and carefree. She didn’t know who he really was, so he didn’t have to worry about her being after his money, or after his fame, or after his family.
She seemed like him as “Dragon.”
“Okay,” Brian sighed.
“Okay, you’re lying?”
“I’m lying.”
“You met someone.”
“I did.”
“Where? Who? Do I know her?”
Christopher sounded really, really excited, and Brian almost hated to disappoint his brother. He didn’t really have any answers for him.
“No, I just met her on the beach.”
“The beach?”
“She was, uh, camping on the beach.”
It was a bit strange and unconventional, but finding lodging on Sapphire Island could be weirdly difficult if you weren’t a shifter and you didn’t know where to look. He thought it was clever that she’d brought a tent and a stack of books to read all weekend.
He liked it better that he’d convinced her to climb into bed with him.
Spending the weekend making love had been far more fantastic than anything Brian could have possibly planned to do.
“Camping?”
“Yes.”
“And you think she’s your mate?”
“Well, I went over to her,” Brian told his brother.
“Okay?”
“I told her to get off of my beach.”
“And she left?”
“Well, not exactly.”
“Brian, you’ve never been at a loss for words. What the hell happened? Are you being held hostage? I mean, do I need to fly over?”
“No, no, no...”
How could he kiss and tell? He didn’t want to share personal details that might embarrass Coconut. Still, he needed to tell his brother enough information for Christopher to know exactly what was going on. If he was going to be able to help, then the more information he had, the better.
“Anyway, she didn’t leave, I um, well, I...”
“You fucked her?”
“I did, yes.”
“And you invited her to stay with you, didn’t you?”
“I did that also, yes.”
Christopher burst out laughing.
