“I want you,” she whispered. Her core was already wet and ready for him. This from a few light touches.
He chuckled. It was a deep, throaty sound. “We need to do this my way.” His hands moved to her thighs. “I want to taste you.” His gaze was fixed…between her thighs.
“You wish to kiss me between my legs?” Her voice had turned breathy.
“That’s one way of putting it. I would love to kiss your sweet pussy.” He ran his hands along her thighs, waiting for her to part them.
Panic welled up in her. “No…you don’t have to…” It was her normal response. One she had used many times before.
“I want to. I want to suck on your clit just as much as I want to fuck you…maybe more, and that’s saying something.” His lashes touched his cheeks, his gaze was focused…down there.
Ruby swallowed hard. Could she do this? Could she let him? There was no way she could say no. She wanted him to touch her in this way. She parted her thighs.
Kai bit down on his lower lips for a half a beat. “I’m going to eat you up, sweetness.”
He was?
Oh no!
Oh yes!
For fire’s sake, she could do this. His focus stayed…well there, with an intensity that scared her. Kai was still completely clothed. He bent down closer. His nostrils flared, his whole stance, tense. His face had a tightness about it. He looked almost angry as his shoulder pushed against her thighs forcing her legs wider.
She sucked in a breath. The groan that left her, as he closed his mouth over her clit sounded raw and drawn out. Kai didn’t mess around. He suckled on her a couple of times. Her eyes widened. Her back bowed as his tongue joined the party. Thankfully, although she had a baby bump, it wasn’t crazy big or the back-bow might have hurt.
The air felt frozen in her lungs. Her mouth was slack. Her brain raced but couldn’t come up with anything coherent, especially since his tongue was flicking back and forth. His mouth suctioned over her clit. It was…so good…so good…oh…oh…it was sooooo good.
A finger breached her opening. One single digit. Another loud, drawn out groan was torn from somewhere deep in her throat followed by a throaty growl. Oh so good went to unreal in a split second. In and out, that finger pumped in time with his tongue flick. The suction was stronger. Her back bowed again.
No. No.
This had to stop. It was too much. She was gulping for air, trying to find control. Ruby tried to close her legs but she couldn’t. Kai was between them, his shoulders were against the insides of her thighs. She tried to pull back but the hand on her hip, held her in place.
His finger curled inwards. It was a subtle change with astounding results. Her orgasm hit. It hit hard. It rushed through her. Her head fell back as her back bowed yet again. Her eyes went wide and then she squeezed them shut.
There was at first, a guttural moan, then a growl which morphed into a cry. The pleasure that rushed through her had her muscles spasming and her toes curling. There was a ripping noise as her hands fisted the sheets.
When he finally released her, she fell back onto the bed. Her nose twitched…Ruby opened her eyes. “Oh no!” She covered her mouth with her hand. She licked her lips. Her mouth was bone dry.
Kai chuckled. “I take it you enjoyed that and I can safely say that this is a first for me.”
“Me too.” She shook her head. “It’s never happened to me before. Then again, I’ve never…” She almost told him that he had been the first male to…do that. Ruby shook her head instead.
All she could say was that it was a wonder she hadn’t burned down the whole castle. It had been that good.
****
Kai looked up to where Ruby was staring. The ceiling had a charred blackened area right in the middle. He waved his hand, dispersing some of the smoke. “All I can say is, thank fuck you were looking up at the ceiling and not down at me.”
When he looked at her, Ruby looked horrified.
He had to laugh. “Hey…” He kept his voice gentle. “I take it as a compliment.”
Ruby shook her head. “It’s never happened to me…I don’t usually…”
He sat down next to her and put an arm around her. “It’s not a big deal.”
“I could’ve hurt you. We can’t do that again.”
“I have advanced healing. I’m not afraid of a few flames. We sure as fuck will be doing that again and soon.” Then something she said earlier registered. “No one has ever done that to you before, have they?”
She shook her head. “No. It’s probably why I overreacted a little.”
What the fuck! Never. “Dragon shifter males are dicks. I’m sorry to have to say it but they’re a bunch of assholes. I will be tasting you again very soon and that’s final.”
She looked like she wanted to say something but didn’t.
“Are you feeling okay otherwise? No pains or…I don’t know?” He wanted her so damned badly but also needed to be sure that she was fine. That the baby was safe.
Just looking at her made his mouth water. Hearing her cries of ecstasy had driven him almost to distraction. His fangs had erupted before he even went down on her. It was why he couldn’t tongue fuck her like he wanted, why he’d had to go easy. In hind sight, maybe it was a good thing. Ruby could’ve scorched the whole room. He held back a grin. He’d hoped for a scream and got one. That and flames. The roof was a fucking mess.
Ruby smiled. “I’m fine.” She gripped the bottom of his shirt and he lifted his arms so she could pull it over his head.
Her eyes turned greedy as they swept across his chest. He liked that she found him attractive. Especially since he found her to be the sexiest female he had ever laid eyes on. He wanted her lush thighs around him. He wanted to fuck her, to make her come all over again, but not yet. He stayed her hand as it moved to the button on his jeans. “I need to drink first.” His voice was rough with need. His dick was so damn hard it throbbed. His balls. What balls? They were pulled up so tight you wouldn’t think he had any.
“You don’t need clothes to drink. You can take my blood and then I want you inside me.”
Kai had to smile. “If I’m still awake.” He didn’t want to pass out again. He was excited and nervous. “Let’s do this.” He nodded once, looking down at his pants. She yanked his jeans so hard that the button popped off, hitting the far wall with a ping. This was a female after his heart.
She giggled. A sound he’d come to love and in such a short time. He toed his boots off and his pants followed suit. Then he moved away from her. “Sit on my lap.”
She shook her head. “I’m too heavy.”
“Bullshit.” Maybe a little. “Okay. Sit on the edge of the bed and I’ll sit behind you. I’d prefer to drink from your neck. I wouldn’t want to hurt you or him.” He gave her stomach a light stroke, feeling something inside him clench and it had nothing to do with his desire for her.
“I told you I won’t damage easily but let’s be safe rather than sorry.”
He nodded. Kai swallowed thickly as he moved in behind her. His legs around her. His erect cock against her back. He circled his arms around her and gave her a hug before splaying his hands on her belly. His baby. It was still surreal.
Ruby put her hands over his and leaned back into him. Shit! This felt too much like a moment. It felt intimate…it felt good. It also scared him a little. What if Jordan had been right? He couldn’t allow himself to fall for this female. Not yet. He still felt the need to tread carefully.
Kai nuzzled her neck. Her scent was so damned intoxicating. One noseful and he was practically salivating. Ruby gripped her long mane of hair and pulled it over one shoulder so that he would have all the access he needed.
Her neck was slender. The pulse at the base of her throat was strong. He could scent her blood as it pulsed through her veins. Rich, sweet…so tempting. The smokiness was there, just as delicious but also misleading. The scent didn’t convey the burn.
Ruby was breathing quickly.
“Don’t be afraid.” He would never hurt her. Not a fuck.
“I’m not, I remember liking it…very much. I want you to drink…” She swallowed and he watched her throat work. A thing of beauty. “I promise,” she whispered.
It was the only push he needed. If this female liked it when he bit her before then he was going to do it again. Any hesitation left him. He said a silent prayer. This was going to hurt.
Kai put his lips to her pulse, feeling it beneath her skin. Then he opened his mouth and sank his fangs into her. Not too deep. She made a noise of ecstasy. His dick twitched against her. Then he pulled in a mouthful of blood and swallowed it down. It was his turn to moan. Such an exquisite taste. He sucked again and she cried out, arching into him. It was only on the third sip that the pain hit. Searing, burning. The agony so intense he growled. He fought against the white hot flames licked at him. The agony didn’t matter. He wanted more anyway. More. It was pain and pleasure in equal measures. Heaven and hell all rolled into one. Addictive.
Ruby moaned, she rubbed up against his dick. Mother fucker! A zing of intense pleasure rushed through him at the contact. He swallowed another warm mouthful and sucked again. Even in his drowning haze, he heard Ruby moan louder. Heard her pants. She was jerking against his cock. Rubbing. The pain, the bliss. Fuck. A rush of ecstasy pierced him and he groaned so hard he released her neck. It was quick but fierce. It left him shaky. Black faded in and out around his vision. He kept his arms around her like an anchor. He had to fight not to pass out.
Kai shook his head, trying to clear it. His whole body throbbed. Endorphins made him feel sleepy. There was still an edge of pain present. His nerve endings felt like they had been rubbed raw. Not a fuck!
“Please tell me I’m asleep and having a nightmare.” His voice was barely recognizable. He sounded drugged.
Ruby gave him a contented sigh. “Not a chance. That was so good.” Her voice was thick. “At least you didn’t pass out.” He could hear she was smiling.
“There was more pleasure this time…with the pain.” It came out sounding stronger.
Ruby laughed softly. She vibrated against him. “It was wonderful. You can drink from me anytime.”
Kai laughed. “I’m glad you enjoyed it and I’m really fucking embarrassed.” He tried not to move. He felt so uncomfortable, Kai was sure she would feel it as well. “Let me get a towel. I’ll just be a second.”
She bit down on her lip, which twitched. Ruby found this whole thing hilarious. Fuck! He grabbed a towel and wet half of it with warm water. Kai cleaned himself off, tossing the material in the basket. He grabbed a fresh one and wet that as well. Instead of handing it to Ruby, he moved to where he had been sitting at her back and cleaned her up too. Fucking embarrassing. “It’s never happened to me before.” He cringed inwardly.
“If it makes you feel any better, I may also have had an orgasm at the same time as you.” She shrugged. “I’m sure that makes it okay.”
“It doesn’t make me feel better and it’s not okay.” He folded his arms. “You can come fifty times but I should only come when I allow myself to. That’s how it works. It’s how it’s always worked for me in the past, but not with you, Ruby.” He kissed her neck. “I lose control with you.”
“That’s good, right?”
No way. Not if I fall for you. I need to be sure first. “Yes and no.”
“Don’t be cryptic.” She turned and gave him a little push. He allowed himself to fall onto his back. Ruby straddled him. “I think it’s good.” She was positioned over his dick.
Everything in him tightened and his mouth felt dry.
She took his cock into her hand. Kai suppressed a hiss. She looked him straight in the eye as she pushed herself onto him. Her eyes closed and her mouth turned slack. That mouth. Those lips. “Fucking good.” He groaned. He was talking about how good she looked on his cock. Stretched around him. Completely seated inside of her.
She was breathing deeply. For endless seconds she just sat there, content just to be filled or maybe adjusting to him. Kai wasn’t complaining. Being inside her warmth. Feeling her squeezing the fuck out of him, felt so good. He gripped her hips lightly with his hands.
On a soft moan, she pulled back before easing forward. She rocked slowly. Kai had to grit his teeth. She felt so damned good. Then she leaned forward, placing her hands on his chest. She lifted and dropped. Her eyes on his. Ruby’s forehead was lined. She moaned in time to her movements. She was breathing deeply. Her breasts swayed. He was damned if she wasn’t even more beautiful in this moment. Her hair a wild tangle down her back, her lips parted and wet.
He helped her as best he could but she weighed a ton. It was that, or he wasn’t strong enough. He sure as fuck hoped it was the first reason, although, he suspected it was a bit of both. Kai might be one of the strongest males on vampire territory but he was no match for the dragon shifters. He was still going to teach her dirtbag, asshole of a brother a lesson. He felt like looking up all the dickhead males that had been in her life - the ones that hadn’t treated her right - and giving them a piece of his mind. He might not survive but it would be worth it.
He groaned as she picked up the tempo, working harder in the process. She was breathing hard. He drove his hips upwards to meet her. Trying to help her as much as he could.
As good as she felt, as sexy as she was. Hips pumping. Her bottom lip between her teeth. “Let me.” He growled. His voice gravelly.
Ruby stopped moving. “What’s wrong?” Her eyes were wide.
“Nothing.” He sat up. “You’re just working too damned hard. You shouldn’t be exerting yourself…not now.” His gaze dropped to her distended belly.
“I’m not some delicate flower.” She smiled.
“Yes, you are.” He kissed her softly on the forehead. “Let me take over, turn around.”
****
Still frowning, she moved to all fours. “Like this?”
Kai groaned. “You have one hell of an ass.” He palmed both her cheeks.
Then he shook his head. “On your side.”
She did as he said and Kai moved in behind her. He gripped her hips and pulled her against him. There was a sense of urgency, of possession reflected in his touch but there was also a softness. It was a powerful combination. It made her feel weak and desperate for more.
He was so hard up against her. “Bend your knees.” His voice was commanding. She did as he said.
Ruby pushed her ass out, trying to give him all the access he needed. He was sweet for being so concerned. It had been unnecessary but this was nice too.
“Just like that.” His voice was deep and against the shell of her ear. Then the tip of his cock was at her entrance. He pushed into her, just a little. A few seconds later, he seated himself inside with one easy thrust.
All the air left her lungs on a hard moan. Ruby had orgasmed twice already but not with him inside her. This was what she needed, what she had been craving. His hard cock, deep inside her. “Oh god,” she whimpered. It had felt good when she was on top but this felt better. Kai began to move, he rut her with hard, careful strokes.
His breath was ragged. “You feel so good,” he groaned. “Fuck. I can’t believe we didn’t do this sooner.”
She closed her eyes, knowing the answer. It was more than just sex to her. Even though he was all warrior, he was also sweet and kind. Her belly was supported. Her breasts didn’t shake as much. It was more comfortable. He thrust into her. Slowly, carefully but with definite purpose. Fully seating himself with each push, his hips came up flush against her backside.
Kai grunted softly, he trembled. His movements became more frantic. Ruby could feel how hard he was working not to let go. She was so close…right on the edge.
He slid a hand around her hip and gave her clit a pinch. At least, it felt like a pinch. He gripped the bundle of nerves between his fingers and squeezed. It didn’t hurt. Not even a little.
Ruby groaned. It turned into a loud growl as ev
ery muscle in her body pulled tight before relaxing. The sensation started at her clit, it moved to her core and then flooded her whole body. Kai muttered something that sounded like thank fuck before jerking against her. He continued to thrust while making the sweetest grunting noises. She whimpered as her body gave a last shudder, his movements slowed, his arms banded around her. “Are you okay?”
Ruby nodded. “More than okay.” She was totally out of breath. She couldn’t stop smiling.
“I hope I didn’t scramble our egg.” He chuckled and kissed her softly on the shoulder.
She chuckled right back. “No…I think we’re good.” He had been so careful with her. Almost too careful.
He stopped moving but stayed seated inside her. He wasn’t as hard but still very much there.
“Are there any dragon tales about cracking or denting the egg?” Although he used a joking tone, she could hear something more in his voice.
She turned her head slightly. “Are you serious?”
He sort of smiled. “Humor me…I worry.” Kai pulled out of her. He really was concerned.
She couldn’t help the laugh that escaped.
“My concern for our unborn child is funny to you?” He smiled. “Are you sure you feel okay? Any pains? No strange fluids…down there.”
“I think your concern is sweet but really unfounded. You won’t crack or dent the egg. Yes, there are some strange fluids but they’re perfectly normal after sex.”
“You know what I mean.” He huffed out a breath. Kai moved, propping himself up on his elbow.
Ruby turned to face him. Kai touched her belly. “I went as easy as I could, but”—he grit his teeth— “you can take all of me so I couldn’t hold back I…” Kai frowned. He was really serious. “I wasn’t rough but I gave you all I have, which…” He looked really nervous. He was seriously worried. Ridiculously so.
She grabbed his hand and squeezed. “Is perfectly fine.” She finished the sentence for him. “I’m fine and so is the baby. I feel great. Please don’t worry.”
