  “The thing about being a shifter,” Kade’s voice tore into her thoughts. “Is that I’ve had to learn to exhibit excellent self-control.” Lindsey pursed her lips together as he spoke, trying to focus on where he was, on what he was about to do.

  Without her eyesight, she was lost. He could be anywhere. He could do anything.

  “As a businessman, I can’t be accidentally shifting into a dragon during an important meeting. Though some of my colleagues are aware that I’m not entirely human, most of them simply know I’m a recluse. Not everyone shares your open mind about dragons, little Lindsey.”

  It must be lonely, being so isolated from everyone. Even though Kade lived among the dragons, he didn’t really live among the dragons. He kept his mansion away from other people, away from a place he would be forced to build and foster relationships that were deep and meaningful.

  He really was a recluse, Lindsey suddenly realized. He wasn’t simply using a dark word to emphasize his dark feelings.

  “When I was a teenager, I would shift accidentally. All young dragons do. We shift in front of our friends or our relatives. We shift at school. Sometimes we shift because we’re embarrassed or scared or excited. Sometimes we shift because we see a pretty girl.”

  His hands were back on Lindsey, then, but he was wearing a glove. He ran the soft leather over her skin, tantalizing her senses. She kept her lips together as he touched her. He roamed from her waist to her breasts to her thighs, then back again. Kade left no part of Lindsey’s body untouched. He paid careful attention to each inch of her.

  “And then something happened to me. My brother was dating a human girl he’d met off the island. Our families were supposed to get together for dinner, as a way for us to connect and get to know each other.”

  A chill shot through Lindsey.

  What had happened at that dinner? Something awful must have occurred for Kade to end up the way he was. Something terrible. Something so bad he no longer had any desire to be around other people. He just wanted to be around his business partners, and they were human.

  Though only barely.

  “I used to love women, Lindsey. All women. Old, young, fat, thin: none of that mattered to me. The only thing I cared about was a warm place to shove my cock. And then I saw a girl so beautiful, it made me want to take her pretty mouth right then, to run my hands over her body, to mark every inch of her as mine.”

  Lindsey’s body flushed at the visual of Kade taking another woman. Was that wrong? The idea of him groping and caressing, touching and playing with another woman was incredibly arousing. She wondered what it would be like for him to take another woman and tell her about it. She wondered what it would be like to watch him.

  “I got her alone, but it was too much. I’d never been with a human before. I started to shift. Only a little, but it was enough that she noticed. Who wouldn’t, when the fingers tracing your skin turned to claws?”

  “What happened?” Lindsey breathed the question. She still couldn’t see him. She was only guided by his words, by the way the leather glove caressed her body.

  Then Kade did something.

  He flipped the glove.

  Spikes pushed against her skin and she cried out in surprise. Those hurt! She tried to wiggle away, but she couldn’t get very far. She was still bound.

  “This is called a vampire glove, darling,” Kade said. He palmed her body softly, running the tiny spikes across her skin. His hand lifted away and then came back, over and over again. It felt like a thousand needles running across her.

  “It hurts,” she complained.

  “Does it hurt?” He asked, “Or are you surprised by the sensation, Lindsey? Listen to your body.”

  He continued to trade her and she realized that he was right. The spikes weren’t painful, not yet. He wasn’t pushing very hard. She imagined that if he pushed harder, he might break her skin. He was being very gentle with her, though: almost delicate.

  “It’s uncomfortable, Master,” she said finally. “But it’s not painful.”

  “Good, pet,” he said. Then he continued his story. “The woman screamed and her family found us. I had shifted back, but then, but the damage was done. I had broken her skin and she was bleeding. They labeled me as violent, as unfit to be around her family. Apparently my brother hadn’t bothered to tell the girl’s family that he wasn’t human. Needless to say, they figured it out pretty quickly.”

  “Oh dear,” she murmured. How terrible. Not only did Kade struggle to control himself, but his lack of control had resulted in serious consequences. Was the girl scarred? Was she horrified and scared for the rest of her life? What had happened?

  “The girl’s family took her. They moved away, far from Dragon Isle. They never told my brother where they moved to. He tried to find her, but couldn’t. Eventually, he returned to Dragon Isle, but he never spoke to me again.”

  “Oh Kade,” Lindsey whispered. “I’m so sorry.”

  He pushed harder on her skin with the glove. Her arousal turned to pain at the new sensation. Lindsey bit back a cry as Kade grew rougher with the gloves. Would she bleed?

  “Pet, that incident taught me that control is essential in every aspect of life. Did you wonder why I chose to train a slave to be my personal submissive?”

  “Yes,” though she hadn’t wondered as much as she should have. Lindsey assumed he knew what he was doing. He had seemed so confident, so self-assured. Even now, as Kade poured his dragon heart out, Lindsey felt safe with him. He was, as he said, in control.

  “I don’t just need control to avoid shifting, pet. I need it in everything now. Control is what keeps me grounded. It’s what keeps me safe. My control over my company is what made me rich. My control over you is what keeps me happy. And my control over your orgasms is what brings me the deepest joy I have ever known.”

  His hands vanished from her body and she heard the gloves dropping to the ground. Was he done with them? Maybe he would fuck her now. Lindsey’s pussy clenched at the thought of taking Kade’s cock inside. She was wet and turned on, more than she’d ever been before. She could feel the evidence of her arousal dripping down her thighs as he talked to her, played with her.

  She was ready for more.

  “When you are here with me, pet, I am in charge. You understand this by now.” His hands were on her thighs, gripping firmly. Then they glided up the sides of her body to massage her breasts. Lindsey let her head fall back as she moaned with pleasure.

  Kade’s hands dropped away once more, then he slid a finger between her slick, soft folds. He traced there for a minute, carefully avoiding the one spot she needed him to touch most. Lindsey wiggled and tried to thrust her body forward, but he wrapped his arm around her waist and held her firmly in place as he stroked her.

  Just as Lindsey began to climb, just as she neared the edge, Kade pulled away. He removed the blindfold, he untied her wrists, and he helped Lindsey find her balance on the ground.

  Then he cupped her face and tilted her head so she was staring straight into his eyes. She was panting with arousal, desperately needing to come, wanting so badly to climax that she would do anything he asked.

  “I control when you come, how you come, where you come, pet.” He poked her nose playfully and grinned. “Don’t forget it.”

  Then he swept her into his arms and carried her into the house.

  She wouldn’t be allowed to come for the next three days.

  She knelt before him and kissed his bare feet. He smiled down at her and pet her hair softly.

  “I have a gift for you, kitten,” he told her. Lindsey looked up expectantly. Kade had never been one for gifts, but Lindsey had never minded. He always showed his appreciation in the bedroom or the dungeon. She didn’t need to be showered with presents or gifts to know she did a good job being his pet.

  She knew.

  “Thank you, Master,” Lindsey said. Her heart soared as she met his eyes, wondering what he was going to give her.
/>
  “Stand,” he commanded. Lindsey obeyed. Her bottom was still sore from a spanking he’d given her two days prior, but she didn’t mind. She knew he liked seeing his marks on her. She knew he liked the way her pink skin turned dark beneath his tools and toys. She knew that she looked good to him.

  She stood before Kade with her head bowed and her hands behind her back. He moved around her so he was standing directly behind her. Gently, Kade lifted Lindsey’s hair and moved it so he had clear access to her neck.

  Then she felt it.

  He was placing a necklace on her.

  No, he was placing a collar on her.

  He was collaring her.

  He was claiming her.

  Lindsey knew it was a big deal for a dragonman to collar someone, especially a human. It didn’t matter that Lindsey was his servant, his slave. This meant something. She teared up as he snapped the collar in place around her throat. Her hands reached for the black velvet. She couldn’t help running her fingers along the soft fabric. She didn’t feel like a dog or a pet or a cat. She felt owned. She felt cared for. She felt complete.

  She was his.

  It might only be for a year, but it didn’t matter.

  She was his.

  “Thank you, Master,” Lindsey said, her voice barely above a whisper. She traced her finger along the velvet once more, allowing it to settle on the stone at the center of the choker. She wondered if she looked as beautiful as she felt. She was naked now, wearing only the necklace her master had chosen for her.

  Kade moved back around her, facing her, and cupped her face in his hands.

  “You’re mine, pet. You know that, don’t you?”

  “Yes, Master.” And she meant it. For the first time in her life, Lindsey truly belonged somewhere. She had finally discovered where she was meant to be.

  Kade kissed her deeply. Lindsey groaned as his tongue found hers, wrapping her into a beautiful, silent dance of lust and excitement. She was his.

  The night Kade collared Lindsey, she felt like she was floating.

  No longer was she a lost girl, wondering what the future would hold for her. Now she knew exactly who she was and where she belonged: with Kade.

  And Kade took her to the dungeon.

  She could tell immediately that things were going to be different, that he was going to make the night hard for her. He was going to challenge her. He was going to stretch her. He was going to burn memories of him into her soul that she could never forget.

  Never escape from.

  Tonight was going to change her.

  She knew even before he told her.

  “I’m going to push you tonight, little darling,” he whispered in her ear. He stood behind her and began licking her ear in long, lazy swipes. Then he moved to her neck. Lindsey shivered but held still. She allowed herself to feel every nerve in her body light up as Kade owned her. She had never been taken care of quite so thoroughly, never had every inch of her body tasted.

  His tongue savored every part of her, reminding her just how perfect he thought she was. She had never felt this way with Heath. Never. Though they had shared good times together, Kade showed Lindsey an entirely new definition of the word good. He showed Lindsey that good didn’t mean sitting in the apartment watching Netflix and drinking cheap wine.

  Good didn’t mean board games and cookouts.

  Good didn’t mean feeling comfortable lounging around in your pajamas in front of your paramour.

  No, good meant something very, very different.

  Good meant something darkly delicious.

  “What are you thinking?” Kade asked as his tongue flicked down her spine.

  “Nothing.” Her eyes were closed. “I’m just enjoying the moment.”

  He bit her ass sharply and she gasped. “Try again,” he murmured against the soft velvet of her skin. Lindsey took a deep breath as Kade’s tongue dipped between her cheeks, softly stroking her most private spots. He never shied away from touching any part of her body. To Kade, there was no such thing as something that was too dirty, too naughty to try.

  “I was thinking that you’re a lot better than my old boyfriend,” she said honestly, and heard him chuckle softly against her body.

  “You know exactly how to stroke a dragon’s ego,” he growled.

  His tongue dove deep inside of her and she moaned, immediately forgetting what they had been talking about. The sensations were intense and embarrassing and welcome all at the same time.

  Kade reached around and softly began stroking Lindsey’s clit. Her body clenched and tightened as she soared closer and closer to her peak. At the last moment, though, he pulled away and smiled when she whined in protest.

  “Not just yet,” he said, guiding her to the wooden stocks in the corner of the room. She had never been in something like that before. She’d only seen them in movies. While the thought of being locked up brought images of thieves and medieval courtyards to mind, somehow, being in the dragon’s dungeon made it seem appropriate.

  He secured her neck and hands so she couldn’t move. The neck area was loose enough that she fit comfortably, even with her collar, but couldn’t turn her head. She was bending forward at an angle that ensured he could do basically whatever he wanted to her. Kade had full access to every part of Lindsey’s body.

  Nerves suddenly filled her as she anxiously wiggled, wondering what he planned to do.

  “Still,” he commanded, scraping his nails down her back to remind her who was in charge. Lindsey immediately stopped moving, and Kade stroked her body softly in reward. “Do I need to secure your feet, little one?” He asked, “Or are you going to stay still for your Master?”

  “I’ll stay still,” she promised.

  Kade moved silently around the room, making Lindsey wonder if he was actually a dragon. Sometimes he seemed more like a panther or a fox. His stealthy ability to move only heightened her anxiousness about their session.

  She didn’t know where he was or where he was moving to next. When would the next touch come? Would it bring pleasure or pain? Kade seemed to enjoy dishing out both equally, so Lindsey tried to stay calm and relax her body. No matter what happened next, tensing would only make things uncomfortable.

  She felt Kade’s palm on her lower back as he used his other hand to slide something ice code inside of her. She squeaked in surprise at the unusual sensation, but calmed as her body naturally began to warm the dildo.

  “Sometimes it’s nice to be a little cold,” he whispered. He pulled and pushed on the toy, imitating the way he enjoyed fucking her. Soon Lindsey was moaning with pleasure, soaring quickly toward an orgasm.

  But it never came.

  Just as she was about to peak, Kade pulled the toy away and tossed it on the ground. He ran his hands through her hair and down her back, gently making his way down her body and to her ankles. He was kneeling behind her, and a wave of embarrassment rushed over Lindsey as she realized where he was.

  She wiggled nervously, hoping he didn’t think she smelled weird or looked awkward. It seemed wrong that during the midst of a tender moment, she would suddenly feel insecure. Kade wanted her here. She knew that, yet somehow she wondered if he ever judged her distinctly female traits.

  “You’re thinking too much, pet,” Kade said. “I can smell your nervousness. I can scent your fear.” He licked the back of her thigh. His tongue traced patterns up and down as he gradually grew closer to the spot she really wanted him to be licking.

  Her embarrassment vanished as her arousal grew.

  “That’s it,” he said. “Just let it all go, pet. The only thing that matters is you and me.”

  He was right, she knew. On Dragon Isle, there was no outside world. There was nothing more than what he had to offer. The only things in the world were Kade and his captive.

  The counselor part of Lindsey knew she was going a little crazy. The part of her that excelled in psychology classes realized she was creating a strange fantasy in her mind where she and Kade c
ould be happy together forever.

  And the logical side of her wondered why that wouldn’t be possible.

  She had never felt so alive.

  Kade swiped his tongue up her leg and then he began to really taste her. He slid his tongue between her velvet folds and up to her bottom. She had never been licked like this before and the feeling was completely overwhelming.

  Lindsey cried out with need, moaning and mumbling, not knowing exactly what she was saying. She only knew that she needed more, more, more.

  Kade was careful to stay away from her clit as he dipped his tongue inside her puckered hole, licking her from the inside out. She squealed in a mixture of embarrassment and delight as he continued pushing her.

  Lindsey felt dizzy. Her mind cleared and then vanished completely in a haze of guilty pleasure. Kade seemed to sense when she completely relaxed because he stopped teasing her then and began sucking on her clit.

  Lindsey exploded.

  Everything went white as she climaxed. The world disappeared and there was nothing but joy and pleasure.

  She came twice more, all in a row, until her body was sore and she suddenly wished Kade would stop. She didn’t think she could take anymore. She had never released so hard or so thoroughly. She had never felt so sated.

  “We’re not done yet, little one,” Kade said, licking her once more. Lindsey couldn’t even move or moan. Her legs felt like jelly and her body hurt from staying in such an awkward position for so long. To her relief, Kade released her from the stocks and picked her up. He carried her to the bed then and sprawled her on her back.

  Then he placed her ankles over his shoulders and plunged into her, filling her completely.

  “Sweet Lindsey.” Kade’s voice was deep and husky, edged with arousal and desire. He slid out of her body, giving her the sensation of loss. He waited for a moment, allowing her to worry and pant and struggle to reach his cock. She raised her hips and tried to pull his down, but he pinned her hands above her head.
