My plea was cut off when he grabbed me gently between his front claws, cradling me, but also holding me tight. I wrapped my arms around his claws as he started to fly off into the night sky. Suddenly, I was wishing for that stupid blindfold. The height we were at made my stomach drop, but more than that I felt the deep sorrow at the events of the night. Brady and my father’s closest guards and friends, did they betray my father? Or had he betrayed me?
Chapter 11
Dominic
I didn’t want her damn money.
The moment someone honestly threatened my mate, I knew I was never going to let her go. Openly defying me, she slipped from my grip and went to the fools wielding guns. I didn’t know what the hell was going on, but I did know my mate was in trouble. I was getting her out of there as soon as possible. I flew faster than I had in centuries, and when I set her down in front of my cabin, I shifted even quicker. I wouldn’t wait another moment.
As soon as I regained my human form I was on her. Pulling her close, I kissed her hard. I wasn’t letting her go without letting her know she was mine. Her knees went weak with the weight of my kiss and I scooped her up. Her legs wrapped around my waist and my arms were under her ass. I moved us into the house without breaking the kiss, walking through the main area without pulling away from her. I knew exactly where I was headed and how to get there.
I rushed forward into her open, wanting mouth, over and over again. At first I was fast, and then I slowed. She whimpered as I teased her, my rock hard dick twitching.
She likes it fast and hard. Good to know.
As I rocked my hips into her core, she screamed into my mouth. She wasn’t quite there yet, but she was turned on, that much I could tell. She whimpered when I pulled away, and I knew that she wanted this. Wanted me.
Fuck. I need her.
I sat her on the bed and ripped the offending dress down the middle, pushing it off her skin. She was panting, her breasts heaving. Cupping one, I pinched the nipple. She let out the gasp I was looking for. My dick throbbed as her eyes rolled backwards.
Mouthing her free breast, I took the nipple between my teeth and rolled it. I flicked it with my tongue and her moans urged me on. My free hand slipped into her spandex shorts and cupped her mound. She gyrated against my hand and I felt her sleek, wet heat.
Primed and ready.
I kept my mouth on her while my hands tore off her spandex shorts and panties. Her delicate little hands brushed over my biceps and chest. Her head was thrown back in pleasure, her hips mine to take. And fuck I would take them.
The little vixen moved her hand down my chest, trailing right to my hard cock. I let go of her breast and pushed two fingers inside of her. She gripped me and pulled upwards as I moved inside of her. She was screaming those little ohs and I smiled. I worked fast, pumping her harder, faster. I felt her muscles tense and knew she was close, so I pulled out.
She whimpered and I moved up her body. I let my tongue trail against her stomach and I felt her tremble. Knocking her frantic hands away from my dick, I forced them over her head. I kept her small wrists in my one hand as I explored her body.
Eden breathed heavily while I took my time licking and biting. I nipped at her hips and she rotated them, desperate to get me closer to her mound. I smiled at the thought. Soon, but not yet. I moved to the underside of her breast and let my tongue outline them. Her hips jerked against me. She needed me.
Moving fast, I put her legs over my shoulders. I plunged my tongue deep inside of her and she cried out. I licked, lapped, and teased. She came quickly and screamed my name. It was like a fucking drug. I needed to be inside of her, but I also wanted to taste as deeply from her sweetness as I could.
I flipped her, her sexy ass in prime view.
“On your fucking knees,” I hissed as I leaned over her. She cooed and did as she was told. My blood was like lava in my dick. She would do this for me. She would please me as I had her. I would make this so fucking right for her.
I barely had any control. Then she turned her head so she was peering through her feathered blonde bangs at me.
“I want your cock,” she whispered, and a sweet little blush stole across her cheeks. I guessed she wasn’t used to dirty talk, but fuck did it turn me on. She seeped with juices as she readied for me.
“Tell me where you want it,” I said, gripping her hips.
“Inside of me,” she said. I let my tongue glide against her spine. She shuddered.
“That’s not what you want. Tell me exactly where you want me.”
“I want your cock.”
“That’s what you want, little chickadee, but how do you want it?”
“Hard!” She was panting now. Right where I wanted her. “Oh gods, I want you! I need you buried deep inside of my pussy. Fuck. Take me!” Her hips wiggled between my hands.
I held her tight and plunged deep inside of her. Her muscles gripped me and held me close. It didn’t take long before the beast inside of me took over and I was rocking into her fast and hard. She didn’t complain; instead, she moved in time. Her little ass pressed into me as she rocked backwards.
My hands held her hips as I controlled her movements. Reaching around her, I pinched her pendulous breasts in my hands. She arched her back farther, taking my cock deeper. I held in a roar of pleasure. My free hand roamed down her supple, sweet body as I touched her most sensitive nub. She cried out when I pinched it hard and shoved deep inside of her. Her noises were music to my ears.
“What do you want, baby?” I growled leaning over her.
“You,” she panted. I pinched again. She would learn. “Your cock. Gods, fuck me hard with your cock.” She screamed with abandon. I felt the fire set across my skin. My balls drew tight and I knew I was coming close to finishing. But not before her, never before her.
She came right before me, and I let out a roar as I came deep inside of her.
We breathed heavily as I rolled us. She lay on top of me.
“Wow …” She started to drift after that.
Tomorrow I would figure everything out. Tonight was about being with my mate. I kissed her forehead as she fell asleep on my chest.

“Dad, how could you?”
I groaned at hearing her distress. I was still half asleep, but forced myself up on my elbows. Eden was pacing the room with my disposal phone next to her ear. She was biting her nail as she spoke, but the gleam in her eyes told me she wasn’t nervous.
She was pissed.
“Well, your plan failed. I don’t know what the hell you thought this would accomplish, but—” A loud male voice cut her off. I could hear some of the words he spoke, but not all them. “I don’t know what I’ll do, but maybe I will just disappear.”
She jutted out her chin as if he could see her. I wanted to growl at the thought of her disappearing. Instead, I rolled off the bed and plucked the phone from her hand.
“She will remain with her mate.” I looked her in the eye when I said this. And then I crushed the phone.
“Mate?” she squeaked.
I nodded once. I have her, and I won’t ever let her go.
Fuck the rest of the world, this little human was mine.
Chapter 12
Eden
I woke up in the most pleasant way—my head was cushioned on Dominic’s chest. I thought of the night before. The many times we had been together. I flushed remembering our first time. I had never tried dirty talk before, but with him I felt completely free; all rational thoughts abandoned me. I was exactly what he wanted me to be; I was exactly what I secretly dreamt of being. Even with my limited experience, I knew that with Dominic it was the best I would ever have. He was attentive, but demanding.
I pressed my smile into his naked chest and gave him a small kiss. I hoped that the feelings now unfurling in my gut would stop soon. I couldn’t stop my mind from racing, though. Last night was insane. My father’s security team had been there. Brady had been there. I didn’t understand what was happening, and I ne
eded to know. Slipping away from Dominic, I searched for a phone. When I saw one next to him on the night stand, I snatched it. I couldn’t bring myself to leave the room. He gave me courage.
Last night he protected me. He got shot, and yet he continued to stand in front of me. When I had asked him and … well, bribed him to save me, he did. I shouldn’t trust him as much as I did, but I couldn’t help it. Somehow I figured if he were in the same room as me, I would be safe.
I dialed one of the few numbers I knew by heart and waited.
“You failed,” a robotic voice answered.
“Dad?” I whispered, my stomach dropping down to my toes. I felt lightheaded as I got over my shock. I tried to wrap my head around it. My dad knew this number. He spoke with a voice modifier.
“Eden?” His voice immediately filled my ears. I could hear concern, but I was getting over my shock. Red hot anger took its place. I started to pace.
“Dad, how could you?” I hissed. I was trying to be quiet for Dominic’s sake. I mean, I wasn’t even sure what was happening between us. I hope that he didn’t think when I said I would pay him that I was offering my body. I mean, I did … ugh! I shook my head. I couldn’t even begin to process that thought. I started to pace as I waited for his answer. I bit my nail, an old habit I thought I had broken myself of.
“This wasn’t the plan. I was worried sick about you, Eden. You have to realize that you are a target. My plan was just to scare you back home. That man I hired would never have hurt you. He is only in it for the money.”
My father’s voice took on a new tone. I didn’t like how he sneered and spoke with disgust. A protective instinct rose within me making me want to lash out. One night with a guy … well, one really amazing night with a guy shouldn’t make me feel so protective. Yet I was. I wasn’t a one-night stand kind of girl anyway. I liked attachments. I liked waking up in the same arms every morning.
“Well, your plan failed. I don’t know what the hell you thought this would accomplish, but—”
I wasn’t going to go running back to him. That is exactly what he wanted, and it was the complete opposite of what I would actually do. I was pissed, and I was only getting more upset when he cut me off.
“You know what I want, baby girl. Next time, it will be someone who doesn’t give two cares about your welfare. They will hurt you to hurt me. Can’t you see I’m trying to protect you? What are you going to do?” I could hear that annoying hmm-tone in his voice, like he wanted to goad me into answering him so he could prove me wrong.
“I don’t know what I’ll do, but maybe I will just disappear.”
I didn’t notice that Dominic was awake until I saw him roll out of bed. My mind went blank as I watched his very naked form come at me. His dick was already awake and seemed to have a mind of its own. It bobbed, as if waving hello. I squealed and looked into his murderous gaze. He plucked the phone from my hands. I thought he was pissed at me. I backed away, nervous of what he would do.
“She will remain with her mate,” he growled, looking right at me.
What? What did he just call me? My heart stopped, then started beating furiously. My breathing was ragged as he crushed the phone between his fingers. Deliciously, devilish fingers I remembered from last night. When he looked at me with his eyes dark with desire, it was like I could feel the ghost of his touches all over again.
“Mate?” I squeaked. I was breathing hard.
He nodded once.
He directed his gaze down at the shirt I had stolen from him. When I glanced down, my face flamed as I realized how heavy my breasts had grown and that my nipples were poking through the thin material. His hungry eyes devoured them as he moved forward. He got on his knees, putting him a little lower than eye level to my aching tips. I swallowed hard, forcing myself not to move. My legs were trembling under me, my sex clenched with desire. I felt hollow without him inside of me.
His large, callused hands ran up my legs, and they threatened to give out. My mouth went dry when his fingers toyed with the edge of the shirt I wore. It stopped only inches below my sex. I was going hazy with need.
“I am going to make you come first, then I’m going to take you as a mate should be taken.”
He whispered this as he peered up at me. I felt his devotion in his words and the sexual promise stretched all the way down to my toes. His hands disappeared under the shirt as they continued their torturous movement upwards. I breathed heavily.
His skin felt hot against mine, the palm of his hands pressing a little more as he continued upwards. His hands brushed my breasts and I arched my back, craving more. His hot mouth took a nipple through the shirt and sucked, hard. I cried out as the feeling bolted through my whole body. My sex ached at its emptiness.
Dominic started to scoot forward, forcing me backward until my knees hit the bed. I sat down, but he never broke his attention. His hand replaced his mouth as my own hands went to his head. My fingers slipped through his startlingly silky hair. He made his way back to my needy sex. His hot breath ghosted over it, and I shuddered. I couldn’t think.
My head thrashed. I waited for more.
“Tell me what you want,” he whispered, his lips brushing me.
How was I supposed to speak?
“Tell me, Eden.”
“I want you to …” Oh gods, he was right there. His fingers were still toying with my nipples, sending jolts of electric fire down to my clit. His movements slowed as he waited for me to finish. Oh, I didn’t want him to stop, he couldn’t.
“I want you to fuck me with your mouth!” I screamed, frustrated that he wasn’t moving. My hips wiggled in invitation.
The scruff on his jaw scraped my thigh as he laughed. His tongue plunged deep and I screamed out. He licked me top to bottom and rotated. Gods. Oh, my gods.
“I’m not your god, and there is only one name you should be calling.”
He pulled one hand away from kneading my breast. I hadn’t even realized I was moaning that out loud. Before I could blush, he pushed two large digits in and I screamed his name this time.
He rewarded me by sucking my clitoris. I came undone right then. I was breathing hard when I felt Dominic climb up next to me.
“So, you’re dragon.”
I didn’t know what else to say at that moment.
“So, you’re human.”
We were silent, our ragged breaths the only thing filling their air.
“Does that bother you?” I didn’t want to look at him. I couldn’t handle seeing disgust or revulsion in his eyes.
“Never.”
He tilted my head in his direction and I smiled. He gazed at me with love and kindness. My heart thickened with joy. When he pressed a sweet kiss to my lips, I knew that I had lucked out. I had a mate … a powerful, sexy, dragon mate. One who had pleasured me more times than I could count in the short time I’d known him. It was my turn to return the favor. His member was still hard and wanting. It jolted once again when my eyes roamed over it.
I couldn’t wait.
Chapter 13
Dominic
Fuck it all to hell. She was staring at my cock again.
The girl had hunger written all over her face the first time she saw it, same as now. She realized she was mine and I was hers. Something changed in that glance, and I wasn’t going to stop her. I didn’t have the strength to. My dick shuddered as her eyes roamed over its uncut length. When she rolled over and assumed a position similar to what I had just been in almost twenty minutes ago, my dragon roared with delight. I was right fucking there with it.
She seemed so innocent as she struggled with it at first. But I was going to push her to her limits. She was a big fucking girl. She would figure it out. I wasn’t here to coddle her, and she knew that. Her hands tentatively wrapped around my base. Fuck, it was like being held by silk. She stroked gently at first. She was too soft. She had to know that I liked it hard by now. When her eyes peeked up at me, I saw a glint of mischief in them.
Fuck. She was going to be my goddamn undoing. If she didn’t start soon, I would finish her off before she had a chance to work me over.
But then that fucking pink little tongue of hers slipped out and wet those lips. She looked like she was near drooling and my dick responded. My balls drew tight, pre-come dribbling out. Her eyes took it all in.
I watched as that sinful tongue flattened over the head of my dick. My eyes rolled back when she wrapped her tight mouth around me. She was adventurous. She tried to take me as deep as she could, first try. I felt my dick touch the back of her throat and she pulled back. Her tongue moved in a seductive dance.
Then she did the fucking unbelievable.
She fucking moaned.
And took me down as far as she could go again.
And fucking again.
I was resisting bucking into her. I knew she was trying to take in as much as she could. When she started to pull off, I wrapped my hand in her hair and kept her close to my groin. She placed small, delicate kisses on the bulging vein underneath and all the way down, and back up again.
I was so close to coming. She kept her movements sensual. I didn’t want to come there, though. I needed to be inside of her, I had to make sure my scent coated her from the inside out. Yanking her up, I positioned her wet pussy over my throbbing cock. I pushed her down and watched as her eyes roll backwards and her head tossed back.
I slammed forward into her. Crying out, her nails dug into my skin. It was like fucking heaven. I moved again and she was moving right in time with me. Together we pushed each other to the edge only to pull ourselves back, again and again. Finally I couldn’t stand it, and I think she was at her limit. I reached between us and flicked her little nub and thrust forward. I released within her as she milked me for all I was worth. I had never felt so satisfied in my life.
She leaned down. My member, though soft, didn’t slip from her. I couldn’t bear to take it out. I needed to be close to her. And this had been more than simple fucking—this was making sure she knew who she belonged to now. To let her know that because I found her, I wasn’t ever fucking letting her go.
