Matched with the Dragon: A Shifter Dating Agency Romance

by Ruby Forrest

  With her gaze fixed on the creature in the dining room, she let her eyes run past every inch of his densely scaled figure. It was when a large head lifted into her line of sight that she made eye contact with the creature, its movements elegant and smooth for such a large beast. It was Darian. When she saw the molten and smoldering eyes, her head swirled with the memory of her dream, of the eyes that Darian had on the beach. She was looking into those very eyes now.

  Darian gave her a final look, the heat of his stare warming Briana to the core, before taking his eyes off her to slowly lower and extend his head out to the left. In a swift movement, he opened his large mouth, white teeth gleaming. Briana heard the short screams of the men that had been firing at them before Darian’s entire form heaved heavily, spewing flames out across the restaurant in a panning motion from left to right.

  From her position on the floor, Briana felt the ground vibrate with the power of his growl and the force of the flames. Cowering back into the corner from the heat filling the restaurant, Briana began to feel light headed and weak. Slumping against the wall, Briana watched as Darian’s mouth filled the restaurant with flames, his gleaming scales the last thing she saw before losing consciousness.

  CHAPTER SEVEN

  Briana woke slowly to the sound of running water, rubbing her face on the soft blankets beneath her. At first, she had thought she was home and that everything that had transpired in the restaurant had been nothing more than another odd dream. It wasn’t until her senses awoke that she smelled the intoxicating sooty and sweet smell that she knew was unique to Darian. Shooting up from her resting position, she looked around to see she was in a room she did not recognize. Looking down at her body, she saw black, sooty hand prints on her pants and blouse as though someone with dirty hands had carried her.

  Listening closer to where the running water was coming from, Briana slowly slid out of the large bed she had been in, padding out the door into a large space. It was a simply decorated space, but Briana noticed an office chair shoved in a corner catching her eye. Walking over to it, she looked close realizing that it looked like the leather had been caught on fire in certain areas. Turning, she looked out the large window that led to a balcony, seeing the railing destroyed and furniture strewn everywhere.

  Briana closed her eye, frozen in the middle of the strange apartment she had found herself in. She laughed inwardly at the fact she knew she wasn’t in Russia at least, recognizing the familiar skyline of her city out the window. In her mind, she worked through the events she remembered, but she refused to believe the dragon she had watched Darian become had been a real event. Between the soot on her body and the strange memory, she figured the restaurant had caught on fire and she was just delirious from the event.

  Once again focusing on finding the source of running water, Briana walked down a long hallway as she followed the noise. Seeing a large doorway to her left she thought the running water was coming from, she walked into the marble floored room. She first noticed the glass strewn across the floor, and slowly looking up she saw Darian standing naked in the shower, his back to her as he rubbed shampoo into his hair.

  Feeling a wild dip in her stomach, she noticed black streams running off his skin and swirling into the drain. Briana stood motionless, her eyes running over his broad and muscled shoulders that elegantly swept down into a narrow waist. Long legs with thick thighs and shapely calves fed into masculine hips, and Briana’s breathing sped up when she saw that his large black tattoo started on the outside of his right hip, moving up his side and around his back shoulder before stopping on his neck.

  It was a beautiful design, and seeing it in totality revealed that it was an image of a plume of smoke, as though it was drifting and twisting up his body. Briana looked even closer at his skin, smudges of black still present. Seeing a nearly unnoticeable patch of silver behind his left hear, Briana suddenly felt as though she was going to loose consciousness again. She took in a large breath, her eyes narrowed on Darian's body as she fought the rush of emotions overpowering her mind.

  Seeing the supple swell of her breasts, the gentle curve of her hips, and the beauty of her long legs shaking with desire brought Darian a feeling of not only passion, but possession. He wanted to own her, to hold the beauty of her being in the palm of his hands, and to taste her unique flavor. Gently, Darian joined her on the bed, straddling her beneath him. He brought his mouth to hers again, brushing her lips with his tongue softly as he kissed her.

  Parting from her eager kiss, he ran his lips down her neck before taking one of her pink nipples in his mouth, every so gently. Briana's body quaked under the soft intermingling of Darian's tongue on her gentle skin, and as he moved his mouth lower, placing kisses on her stomach and the inside of her thighs, a deep moan escaped from her throat.

  Invigorated by her building desire, Darian took his fingertips and explored her wet, pink clitoris, gently stroking it until it swelled and pulsed under his touch. Briana's back arched under his perfect hand, her breath becoming a pant with her need for fulfillment. Briana could feel his warm breath against her skin, and as Darian lowered his mouth to meet her body's most intimate spot, Briana's legs shook with the sensation of his tongue massaging her body into waves of pleasure. Bringing his fingers deeply into her, Briana's pleasure became mindless, her need for him peaking.

  Reaching down, she buried her hands in his thick, silver curls, lost in the feeling of his mouth devouring her and his fingers exploring deep inside. Just as she began to feel her body building into climax, Darian stopped, bringing his face back to hers before all at once pushing his thick and long penis deep into her vagina in one filling movement. Briana gasped, her eyes shooting open to see Darian's grey eyes lustfully peering at her. Again, Darian pulled out fully before slowly sliding into her. Once fully inside her, he drew his face near to her, their eyes locked in a trusting gaze as he pulsed inside her, the feeling of his broad tip gently stroking deep between her legs.

  Lost in the ecstasy of the movement, Briana's eyes shut, a swirl of colors and light building behind her eyes. Hearing Darian's reserved moans as he experienced the wet, tight feeling of her around his engorged shaft sent shivers through Briana's body, pushing her towards the edge of climax. Looking down at her emotive face, seeing the pleasure and trust in her acceptance of his body and soul, Darian felt his own pending climax, his penis flexing inside her. Her whole body quivered as her orgasm peaked while Darian continued his steady push and pull, spilling himself into her as he listened to her moans while they each came hard and long. Clutching at Darian's shoulders and breathing against his neck, Briana's climax pulsed in waves through her body, and each time she thought the sensation was beginning to fade out, it returned in nearly unbearable waves of pleasure. Darian felt the power of his love for Briana giving him over to an intense and prolonged finish, delirious joy filling his mind as his pleasure faded.

  They both laid panting on the bed, Darian still inside her as he rested his head on the pillow next her, looking into each other's eyes.

  "Will you marry me?" Darian whispered.

  He was reassured to see no surprise in Briana's reposeful expression upon his question. Rather, her eyes burned with a love and desire that was all the answer he needed.

  "I will love you fiercely, like a dragon," she spoke softly.

  In that moment, Darian knew, he had indeed found his treasure.

  Chapter 1

  “Alia, wake up!”

  I opened my eyes and checked outside the tent flap. Ugh, it looked like it would rain later and that meant muddy tracks all around the woods. I yawned, stretched a little, and put on my shorts, pink top and a pair of sneakers. After checking myself out in a small pocket mirror I headed out of the tent.

  “Hey, someone’s awake,” Shirley called out to me. She was sitting by
a pit and the boys were building a large campfire to cook breakfast.

  I waved at the guys and then took a seat beside her, resting myself atop a log since there were no stools around save for the one Shirley was already on. I looked at her real quick and admired how well she looked even when we were out here in the middle of nowhere. Shirley, at twenty-five, was as gorgeous as she ever could be. She had bright blue eyes, long blonde hair and really long, sexy legs.

  “Took you long enough,” she greeted me and handed me a cup of coffee. I only then noticed she had a thermos filled with hot water and some bread on a paper plate. “Jack and Tommy here were up hours ago. They went hunting for rabbits but only caught one and found some berries.”

  “Well, they did want us to camp out and not really bring any supplies,” I pointed out as I took the cup, sipped and then put it down on the ground. I then called out to the guys. “Hey Tommy, when are you and Jack going to get any hotter?”

  I was joking; they were never going to get hot. Jack was a six-foot tall blub of fat and Tommy looked like a rolling ball. I bet even if I were to add my weight to Shirley’s we’d still be lighter than just one of these two. I didn’t mind, though, we were all friends since we were in middle school.

  Tommy laughed and gave me a sarcastic look as he said, “Yeah, whatever. You know you wouldn’t love me if I wasn’t so cuddly.”

  I giggled, stood up real quick and gave them both a hug and a kiss on the cheeks. I then twirled around and looked back at Shirley, “Your hair’s wet. Where did you take a bath?”

  “There’s a river just a little over a quarter mile back there,” she answered and pointed to a large hill littered with tall pine trees. “There’s even a pool and a small waterfall.”

  “Is it deep?” I was scared of drowning and I couldn’t swim for the life of me.

  “Nope,” she answered and took a bite out of her bread. “At the deepest, it only barely reached my shoulders. Here, I’ll lend you a towel.”

  Thank God, I really wanted to clean myself out. We were on the road for hours yesterday just to reach these camping grounds. I wanted to just settle with the camping site in the local park but they really wanted to try going on full survival-mode and stay in the woods up here in the mountains. I didn’t mind, to be completely honest, but at least let me take a moment to relax, shower and get my bearings after stuffing myself in a car for so long.

  I grabbed her towel and then made my way to the back. She said she was going to escort me there but I waved her off and said I can find it on my own. Someone needed to watch over Jack and Tommy, after all.

  I needed to get all the junk out of my hair too and that could take some time. I dyed my hair blue the other week but now I was getting tired of the look and I wanted to go back to my ginger hair. Yes, I’m a redhead but a lot of people say I look hot because of it. Maybe the color just blends well with my pale skin and long legs. My eyes were green and the flare of my natural hair color really let that out, whenever I didn’t try to hide them under some dark aviators.

  After a few minutes trekking up the hill and down the slope on the other side, I found the small waterfall and river pool Shirley talked about. I looked around and when I figured no one else was there I stripped down and hopped into the water.

  “Fuck,” I yelped when I realized just how cold the water was. I looked around again, hoping no one heard me. There were other campers out here but we didn’t even see any of them while setting up last night. We just saw their vehicles.

  I figured I was alone so I stood back up, exposing my tits out of the water, and proceeded to wash myself and my hair. Getting the rest of the hair dye out wasn’t hard but it was taking a lot of time. I was starting to regret doing this here instead of just waiting to get back to town and do this at a salon.

  Crack!

  “Who’s there?” I asked out as I dipped my body back in, covering my body with the water. “Jack? Tommy? You guys there?”

  Utter silence. It was probably just my imagination, I guess. I proceeded to continue removing the color from my hair and hummed a song to get my nerves back down.

  Crack!

  There it was again! I didn’t turn around or say anything this time. Maybe if they didn’t know I was aware I’d be able to spot them. I just continued on and slowly turned around, pretending I was just trying to reach a different area of the pool, and then I looked up.

  There were two men hiding behind some bushes, just above the waterfall. They both looked like really big men, probably six-feet tall each. Both men were half-naked, wearing only their shorts, and this let me notice just how muscular and fit they were. I honestly felt my heart skip a beat when I realized my stalkers were so damn handsome and hot.

  I didn’t want them to know I could see them though so I didn’t stare too long. I turned to the side and continued bathing. This time, however, I fully showcased my breasts and I stood up even a little closer to the shore, letting them see the firm shape of my ass.

  It’s not like they’re going to get any shot of having sex with me, I figured. To be completely honest, I was still a virgin. At twenty-five I know that’s rare these days but it’s not like I didn’t try to have sex once or twice. I tried once in high school but the guy’s parents got home before I could do anything beyond giving a blow job and then I tried in college but both me and the guy I was with were drunk and we ended up just getting sick and tired to push through with it.

  After that it’s always been failed half-attempts and seductive glances but nothing more. I don’t know, maybe I’d end up a total whore and work for the porn industry if I try it or maybe I’d hate sex and decide to never to do it again.

  Who were these guys, anyway? I wondered if they were among the other campers. I mean, it’d be utterly ridiculous if they lived all the way out here in the mountains. Then again, somebody has to live here in order to maintain the camping grounds.

  At least they were hot and good looking. I decided to let it slide and just flash myself for them. I loved the attention they were giving me. I mean, sure, Jack and Tommy liked to joke perverted things at me and Shirley from time to time but I’d never get in a serious relationship with either of them. I’m just so used to them having spent so many years as just friends. Having someone else, let alone two guys, look and appreciate me made me feel really good.

  I heard the grass rustle. It could have just been the wind or it could have been these two strangers trying to get a better look. I didn’t care. I just finished removing the hair dye, added some shampoo and conditioner to my hair, rinsed and then got up from the pool.

  With full pride, I stood out by the water and showcased my body. I wanted them to see my tits and my ass. I wanted them to see how I shaved my pussy clean and how freaking sexy I was. I went to the gym every other day to get this firm and sexy, I might as well flaunt it to those who like it.

  After drying myself I wrapped my body with the towel and then turned around. There they were, just about to walk out of the bushes, and they both halted in their tracks when they saw me staring straight back at them.

  With a smile, I winked back at them, turned around and then walked back to camp.

  Chapter Two

  I sat back and leaned on my backpack. Looking up, I saw the night sky was still littered with stars but off in the distance there were storm clouds just threatening to crawl in closer. I wondered if it would rain tonight.

  Shirley came by and sat beside me. She was wearing a skimpy pair of shorts and a white tank top and clearly no bra underneath. I knew she had a thing for Tommy but honestly, she was practically showing off her body at this point.

  “Where’s Jack and Tommy?” I asked.

  She shrugged. “Looking for firewood, from what I heard earlier.”

  “Damn, those guys just can’t get a break, can’t they?” I looked around but they were nowhere in sight. “Well, it was their idea to go out this far.”

  Shirley nodded in agreement. “
I wasn’t going to agree to this but hey, if I get some time alone with Tommy then you know I can work some magic.”

  “You’ve been trying to get into his pants for years,” I pointed out. “He just has his eyes on that bitch Melody.”

  “He’ll never get her,” Shirley stated with a pout on her lips. “She thinks she’s too hot for him. I mean, yeah, she’s a fucking hot bombshell with those big-ass tits but she ain’t got much else going for her. She’s dumb as a bag of bricks. He’ll be a lot happier with me. Besides, I got some moves in the sack that will really make his eyes pop.”

  I shook my head and laughed. “You’re such a slut.”

  “Yeah but at least I get what I want,” she answered with a playful giggle. “How else did you think I got the job at that café?”

  My jaw dropped and I looked at her with a shocked expression on my face. “No fucking way.”

  She looked at me with a wicked smile and a naughty spark in her eyes. “I gave the manager a blow job and he damn hired me five minutes later.”

  “You naughty bitch,” I told her. Damn, this is the fourth time she used sex to get a job. At least this time she was working at a café instead of that ugly strip club she used to be in last year.

  “Hey, you guys!”

  We both turned around and saw Jack and Tommy returning. They had with them several other people – at least nine, I guess – and everyone had some logs, beer or food in their hands. I took a quick glance at them and noticed most of them were in their mid-30s or 40s. We probably looked like kids compared to them.
