Darting a quick glance down, Fraser removed his hands. He was indeed no longer standing at attention.
Still, she kept the lamp gripped in one hand as she sat on the edge of the bed. In the next second, Fraser moved her to his lap. The skin-to-skin contact helped to ease her concern and she relaxed a fraction. When Fraser rubbed his hand up and down her arm, it helped a little bit more.
He whispered, “What would you like to know, Holly?”
~~~
Fraser reveled in the soft, heavy weight of the female sitting in his lap.
Never before had he sat naked with a female and been content with merely holding her. Yet as he rubbed up and down her arm, Holly’s feminine scent helped him to not only forget about the pulsing pain in his cock, but it also helped to slow his dragon’s pacing. Fraser said to his beast, What happened to wanting a challenge?
His beast huffed. I didn’t expect for her to punch us there.
At least you’ll think twice about trying to force her again.
With a harrumph, his dragon fell silent.
He kissed the side of Holly’s neck and her body relaxed a wee bit more. “What would you like to know, Holly? Ask me anything.”
She turned her head to meet his eyes. “Why couldn’t you control your dragon just now?”
Fraser shrugged one shoulder. “I’ve never had a reason to try and contain him before. Some might say I’ve spoiled him. To be honest, we’ve never really disagreed about anything until we met you.”
Holly raised her chin. For all that she was trying to look brave, her wild, frizzy hair and nakedness made him want to laugh. Thankfully, before he did, Holly answered, “Well, if he tries something like that again, I’ll be ready. I might even find a taser and use it instead of my fist next time.”
Fraser winced. “Whatever you do, don’t mention that option to other humans who come here. The last thing we need is a group of dragon-shifter males with fried cocks.” Holly smiled and the sight made his stomach flip. He brushed her cheek with one hand. “It’s good to see you smiling again, honey.”
“That’s still not my name.”
“Aye, I know. But no one else has used that name for you, have they?” Holly shook her head. “Good. Then it’s yet another way for me to claim you.”
“I should be offended at that.”
He grinned. “But you’re not, are you?”
She sighed. “Answering that may feed your ego, and you definitely don’t need that.”
Nuzzling her cheek, he murmured, “I could do with some ego feeding.” He nipped her earlobe. “It might help me forget about the pain.”
He released her ear and kissed his way across her cheek until he was less than an inch from her lips. Meeting her eyes, he whispered, “Although I could settle for a kiss instead. One taste of your lips will make everything better.”
Holly fought a smile and lost the battle. “You were quite the ladies’ man before you met me, weren’t you?”
He frowned. “Why would you bring up other women? None of them compare to you.”
His human finally tossed the lamp to the floor. It landed with a thud on the carpet and she placed her currently free hand on his chest. “I wonder if that’s you, your dragon, or your penis talking.”
Fraser growled. “I was trying to make up for my dragon’s behavior, yes, but I’m speaking the truth.” He took her face in his hands. “No one has ever resisted my charms before, let alone taken on my dragon in a fit and won. That’s pretty bloody fantastic, Holly Anderson.” He strummed his finger against her cheek. “Just as you are, too.” He laid his forehead against hers. “Now, you stubborn woman, I’m going to kiss you and convince you of my words.” He moved a fraction closer. “Provided you won’t punch me in the dick again.”
Holly grinned and mischief danced in her eyes. “Then I guess you’d better make me forget how to think, let alone act, and your dick will be safe.” She lowered her voice. “At least, for now. I make no guarantees about later.”
The urge to tease Holly some more was strong, but his cock was already hardening and he didn’t want Holly, let alone his dragon, to change their minds.
So, Fraser lightly kissed her and answered, “Then I just need to ensure I leave you begging for more. That way, all of me will be safe from your devious mind.”
Holly opened her mouth, but Fraser swallowed her reply with a kiss.
Chapter Nine
Holly wasn’t sure if she was happy or irritated that Fraser shut her up with a kiss. Very few people had ever tried to take charge of her.
Yet as his taste and heat filled her mouth, she leaned into him. As he slowly strummed his thumbs against her cheeks, he took his time in exploring every inch.
The tenderness made her forget about his dragon-half. In time, Holly was sure she would enjoy rough, hot dragon sex. But she wasn’t there yet.
Turning toward him, she wrapped her legs around his waist. Fraser moaned as his hands slid down her neck and her back before resting on her bum. He rocked her hips forward and her clit brushed his hard abdomen. When he did it again, she had a hard time focusing on the kiss.
Fraser finally released her lips and whispered, “Will you let me explore your beautiful body properly this time?”
She should just say yes and enjoy Fraser’s attentions. But Holly didn’t want false platitudes. “You’ve barely seen my body. How do you know it’s beautiful?”
Fraser growled as he lightly slapped her arse. “Do you have to challenge everything I say?” She opened her mouth, but he cut her off. “Lay down on your back and I’ll show you with actions just how much I admire and desire your body, honey.”
“You better not disappoint me, ruadh.”
Fraser’s gaze turned determined. “Believe me, you won’t be disappointed.”
The huskiness of his voice sent a shiver down her spine. While she enjoyed his humor and teasing, she was coming to enjoy his dominant, possessive side as well.
“We’ll see,” she murmured.
After lightly patting Fraser’s chest, Holly crawled to the empty side of the bed and lay down. Tapping her fingers in impatience, Fraser eventually turned to face her and stared.
The second he met her gaze, he said, “I should warn you, lass. If there’s one thing my dragon enjoys, it’s a challenge.” He traced a finger along her jaw and then down her neck. “I used to like it easy, but I’m starting to see the appeal of a challenge when it comes to you.”
Lifting his finger, Fraser’s gaze moved to her breasts. One second ticked by and then ten. The longer he looked, the harder her nipples became.
If it were any other aspect of her life, she’d bark an order and tell him to move along. But just this once, she wanted him to linger.
Holly moved a fraction to better settle her bum and her breasts jiggled. With a growl, Fraser cupped one and squeezed.
His firm grip combined with the callouses on his palms made her breasts grow heavy again. As much as she’d enjoyed his tongue, she wondered what it would feel like to have Fraser’s rough fingers dance between her legs.
Fraser finally released her breasts and she just prevented herself from crying out. She wouldn’t let him know how much she yearned to have his hands on her body again.
If she did, Holly would never hear the end of it.
Fraser chuckled and she narrowed her eyes. “If you’re laughing at my body, then so help me, I will find that lamp and shove it up your arse.”
Rubbing his hands in slow circles on her belly, it took everything Holly had to concentrate on his answer. “I was laughing because you bit your lip to keep from begging.” He moved his blue-eyed gaze to hers. “Am I right?”
Holly raised an eyebrow. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”
Fraser’s pupils flashed. Holly held her breath, but they didn’t change again.
The next instant, Fraser’s face was a few inches from hers. “Don’t ever fear me, Holly Anderson. Even if I lose my bloody mind in the process, I will n
ever allow my dragon to come that close to taking you when you’re not ready.”
She saw nothing but the truth in his eyes. On top of that, his words held such conviction, she believed him. “Well, I’m ready now. Are you really going to keep me waiting? I won’t beg, Fraser MacKenzie, so if you’re waiting for that, it isn’t going to happen.”
The corner of his mouth ticked up. “Keep telling yourself that.”
Holly opened her mouth but then Fraser tugged one of her nipples and added, “Enough talking.” He flicked her other one. “I want to commit every curve and valley of your body to memory.”
It was on the tip of Holly’s tongue to say something else, but she held back. She and Fraser could probably argue until next summer, if she gave in.
No, as much as Holly enjoyed the banter, she wanted something else.
She wanted hot, passionate sex with the dragonman above her.
Reaching out her hand, Holly lightly brushed Fraser’s cock. He grabbed her wrist and hissed, “No touching until I’m sure you’ll be gentle.”
Holly smiled. “Then get on with it or I may just think of my own form of torture.”
Determination flashed in Fraser’s eyes before he leaned down and lightly traced her nipple with his tongue. Releasing her hard bud, he blew slowly on her wet flesh. In a much softer tone than before, she murmured, “Fraser.”
“Aye, that’s the tone I wish to hear, honey.”
Sucking her nipple deep into his mouth, Holly arched her back as wetness rushed between her legs.
Fraser took his time, licking and suckling her nipple before releasing it with a pop. “My beautiful human.”
Holly opened her mouth to contradict him when he took her other nipple. This time he bit gently before twirling his tongue over and around the taut peak.
She moved a hand to his hair and dug her nails into his scalp. Fraser rewarded her with a deep pull.
Pressing his head closer to signal she wanted more, her dragonman growled. The vibrations made her pussy throb in anticipation.
As if reading her thoughts, Fraser roamed his hand down her belly and between her thighs. Holly opened her legs without hesitation, expecting Fraser to touch her.
But while he continued to nibble her nipple and breast, his fingers danced from her left inner thigh to her right and back again. Not even when she widened her legs did he touch her slit.
She growled. “Fraser, stop teasing me.”
He lifted his head. His blue eyes were filled with heat and desire, yet his pupils remained round. “Anticipation will only make you come harder.”
The huskiness in his voice sent a thrill through her body. “Then prove it.”
“I’m not done yet.”
She opened her mouth to reply, but the instant Fraser ran a finger through her slit, she sucked in a breath. The roughness of his skin against her sensitive nerves made her close her eyes and lean her head back.
Fraser moved his hand back to her inner thigh. As he rubbed back and forth, so close yet so far from her pussy, Holly growled out, “No more teasing.”
“Look at me, Holly. I want to see your beautiful honey-colored eyes as I touch you.” He moved to her other thigh and repeated the same motions. “And as I make you come.”
~~~
Fraser continued to caress Holly’s skin as he waited for an answer.
His bloody dragon growled. It’s taking too long. At this rate, she will never carry our child.
Patience, dragon. If she enjoys the first time, she’ll enjoy the rest.
His beast huffed. I don’t believe you. But I’m not about to come out again and have her smack a lamp against our cock and balls.
Good answer, dragon.
Holly opened her eyes and his beast fell silent. His human’s half-lidded gaze shot straight to his dick.
When she was open and honest with her expressions, it made her all the more beautiful.
His dragon snarled. All the reason to brand her with our scent. If any other male sees her, they’ll want her.
Holly’s voice prevented Fraser from replying. “I’m ready, Fraser. Make me come.”
His mouth went dry at the sultriness of her voice. But he quickly recovered and moved his position so his head was between her thighs. “I think you’ve waited long enough, my human.”
Fraser licked Holly’s slit and her sweet juices made him groan. “You’re so fucking sweet, Holly.” He lapped again. “I will never get enough of you.”
Holly opened her mouth, but Fraser plunged his tongue into her pussy and swirled. The arching of her hips told him she was enjoying it.
Removing his tongue, he traced around her clit but never touched it. Then his bloody female wiggled her hips. “Stop moving.”
“Then get on with it.”
“You asked for it.”
Fraser sucked her clit between his teeth and lightly nibbled. Holly’s cry only encouraged him to bite a little harder before soothing the sting with his tongue.
Releasing her nub, he went back to lapping her pussy as his finger rubbed the bundle of sensitive nerves in slow circles.
He moved back to her clit and lightly flicked it with his tongue as he dipped two fingers into her slit. Finding the slightly raised area of her g-spot, he stroked up and down a few times before Holly screamed as her orgasm hit.
Determined to feel her gripping his cock, he removed his fingers and covered her body with his. In one swift thrust, he was inside of her and Holly cried out again in pleasure. If that weren’t enough, her eyes were not only heavy-lidded, but also full of desire and expectation.
Taking her mouth in a kiss, he moved his hips in slow circles, loving how Holly squeezed and released his cock.
Holly gripped his bum and dug in her nails. The slight sting made him break the kiss. “You asked for it.”
Fraser increased his pace and moved a hand to just above her clit. Pinning her in place, he thrust harder. Each movement caused the bed to shake. His human moaned and wiggled beneath him, gasping her pleasure.
Pulling out slowly, he paused and growled out, “You’re mine, Holly. Only mine.”
She opened her mouth, but he pistoned hard forward. Holly’s nails dug deeper into his bum. “Again.”
He retreated and held still. Fraser was determined to bring out Holly’s boldness in the bedroom as well. He didn’t care for her silence. “Tell me what you want, Holly, and I’ll give it to you. Otherwise, I’ll pull out and take care of myself.”
His dragon roared, but Fraser was just able to hold him off.
Holly hesitated a second but then moved her hands to his upper back. “Then I want you to fuck me hard, Fraser MacKenzie, and don’t hold back.”
Then she scratched down his back. With a roar, Fraser took hold of her hips and let go of his restraint. It was time to please both his female and his beast.
Fraser slammed in and out of Holly’s tight, wet pussy. He loved how she gripped his dick as he moved.
His dragon chimed in. Take her harder. She wants it.
Channeling his dragon, the sound of flesh slapping against flesh, mixed with Holly’s moans, filled the room. Sweat trailed down Fraser’s back and the pressure built at the base of his spine.
He was about to come.
But he fought it. His human should always come first.
He used his thumb to rub Holly’s clit in quick circles. Holly scratched his back hard enough Fraser smelt blood.
That was his lass.
Fraser increased the pressure against Holly’s nerves and she clutched his shoulders as she screamed. The sound of her voice, combined with the image of Holly carrying his scent and possibly his child pushed him over the edge. With a roar, Fraser stilled and spilled his seed inside of his female.
With each spurt of his semen, Holly screamed louder and dug her nails deeper into his skin. As she continued to grip and release his cock, her prolonged orgasm confirmed what his dragon had told him—Holly was his true mate.
Fraser roa
red as he branded her with his scent. No other male would touch her after this.
His dragon hummed at both the claim and their mate’s pleasure.
When Holly finally wrenched the last drop from his dick, Fraser collapsed on top of her. His dragon paced at the back of his mind and Fraser knew it was only a matter of time before his dragon would demand a turn.
Once would never be enough for his dragon. Yet as Fraser brushed a damp tendril of hair from Holly’s face, he admitted it would never be enough for him, either.
Holly Anderson was his and always would be.
His female’s face was flushed and satisfaction filled her gaze. The sight sent a surge of pride rushing through his body.
His dragon growled. She wants more. It’s my turn.
Fraser wanted nothing more than to take a breather to cuddle and coax laughter out of Holly so that she would know he wanted her for much more than sex. He wanted her for a lifelong mate.
Then his beast sent a flood of desire and need through his body. Fraser gritted his teeth, but his dragon would take over far too soon.
Still, Fraser wanted a few more minutes. He just needed to fight his beast.
In response to his wish, his dragon roared. His beast sent a torrent of lust to impregnate Holly and brand her through his body.
His cock was already hardening again when curiosity filled Holly’s eyes. “Fraser?”
As his dragon joined him in the front of his mind, Fraser bit out, “I can’t resist much longer, honey. I need to make you mine in a more permanent way. Either let my dragon have you or you need to run out of the door and lock me inside.” His beast roared inside his head again and Fraser wanted to clap his hands over his ears. “He’s not patient. I hate to rush you, lass, but I need an answer.”
~~~
Fraser clenched his jaw and closed his eyes before rolling away from her. It was plain her dragonman was in pain.
The thought of him remaining that way for who knew how long squeezed her heart.
