Giving him a heavy-lidded gaze, she murmured, “Is that the best you have, dragonman?”
With a growl, Fraser extended a talon and gently sliced through her top and bra. Before she could do more than squeak, he took hold of her breast and sucked her nipple into his mouth.
Each pull shot straight between her legs. She couldn’t help but say, “Fraser.”
At his name, he lightly bit her as he pressed against her clit with his thigh. The double sensation nearly made her come; lights already danced behind her eyes. One last rock with his knee would be enough.
Fraser released her nipple and removed his leg. Holly cried out, “No.”
Her dragonman flicked open the fly of her trousers and unzipped them. “I think we need to make sure you’re wet enough for me, love. Because when you come, I want to feel you around my dick.”
“You’re being—”
Fraser dove his hand inside her panties and thrust into her with a thick finger. She loved the way he felt inside her pussy.
He leaned down to nuzzle her cheek. “I must be doing a good job. You’re drenched for me. Just the way it should be.” He moved his finger again. “You’re mine and by the end of the night, you’ll understand that with every muscle in your body.”
He moved back to look into her eyes. Holly should scold him or argue. Otherwise, the dragonman’s head would get too big.
But at the desire and love shining in his eyes, she blurted out, “Enough talking, Fraser MacKenzie. Show me just how much you love me with your body. Then I’ll believe you truly want me.”
Fraser growled out, “I will always want you, Holly. But I’m up for your challenge. I think it’s time to show you just how much I love you.”
As Fraser’s pupils flashed, Holly’s heart rate kicked up even more. She’d just taunted a dragonman.
Some might be afraid, but her every nerve tingled in anticipation of what he’d do next.
~~~
Fraser’s dragon wouldn’t stop roaring inside his head. She is wet and all but begging us to fuck her. Why are you stalling?
Because I want her to remember this day forever. This is the day Holly Anderson becomes mine with both body and heart.
I don’t like this romantic side. Fuck her soon or I’ll take over.
No.
Before his beast could reply, Fraser built one of the elaborate mazes he’d perfected over the last few weeks. His beast would need at least an hour to find his way out.
Fraser planned to take advantage of every second of that hour.
Removing his hand from Holly’s pussy, he tore off the tattered remains of her top and bra. The action sped up Holly’s breathing, but rather than touch her, he merely stared at her pale breasts.
Breasts that would never be seen by another male ever again.
“Fraser.”
He met Holly’s eyes. “Take off your shoes and jeans or I will rip them off, too.”
Licking her lips, Holly removed one shoe and then the other. As she slowly wiggled out of her pants, her breasts jiggled as if to entice him further. Only because he clenched his fingers did he not reach out to feel them. He wanted her naked first. Then he would touch her.
And oh how he planned to tease and caress her from breast to arse to thigh.
Holly kicked her last shred of clothing aside and tried to walk away. Fraser grabbed her waist and pinned her up against the wall, her back to his front. He kissed her neck before murmuring against her skin, “Where do you think you’re going?”
“I thought dragons liked to chase their prey.”
“We do.” After nipping her neck, he moved a hand around to one of her breasts and squeezed. “But we can play chase later. For now, I’m going to do this.”
Releasing her breasts, he took hold of her hips and drew them back slightly so he could thrust his dick inside of her. Holly moaned and that was all the encouragement he needed to say, “I’m going to take you hard, Holly. I can’t have you doubting how much I want you.”
Bracing her forearms against the wall, she wiggled her hips against him. “Stop talking and fuck me, already.”
Fraser pulled up and slammed back in. “That’s my lass.”
His dragon banged against the roof of the maze. All of the buildup was killing his beast.
However, even without his dragon, Fraser was done drawing it out.
It was time to brand Holly as his female.
Guiding her hips, he moved in and out in a quick, steady rhythm. With each thrust, his balls slapped against Holly’s flesh and the sound drove him to go faster.
She clutched her inner muscles as he moved and he growled. “Stop it.”
“Never.”
She moaned as he pounded harder. Then she released and gripped him firmer. Bloody hell. The minx was going to make him come before her and he wasn’t going to allow that to happen.
Fraser snaked one hand around her waist and found her clit. Rubbing in rough, quick circles, Holly leaned more against the wall. “Bastard. That’s cheating.”
Increasing the pressure against her clit, he never stopped moving in and out of her pussy. “I’ll do whatever it takes to make my female come first.”
Pressing hard against her sensitive bundle of nerves, Holly screamed. As her inner muscles gripped and released his cock, he gritted his teeth. He wasn’t ready to come just yet. He still needed to make an impression on his mate.
He never wanted her to doubt how much he wanted her. Hell, how much he loved her.
Holly was his perfect match.
As soon as Holly melted against the wall, Fraser pulled out and spun her around. The dazed expression in her eyes stroked the ego of both man and beast. He smiled.
She frowned. “Why did you stop?”
He nipped her lower lip. “Because I’m just getting started.”
Scooping up his female, Fraser moved to the sofa and sat her down on the back of it. Holly blinked. “Is this another frenzy? I thought there was only the one.”
As he ran his dick up and down her swollen slit, he murmured, “No, it’s not another frenzy.” He tapped the head of his cock against her clit. “But I will never get enough of you, Holly. Never.”
Then he thrust inside her again and pulled her close. Without a word, Holly wrapped her legs around his waist. “Is that a promise?”
He descended on her lips. As he devoured her mouth, Holly threaded her fingers through his hair and pressed her breasts against his chest. The hard points of her nipples made his dick release a drop of precum.
His dragon gave a frustrated roar inside the maze. Soon, dragon. I’m nearly done.
Wrapping his arms around Holly, he continued to stroke his tongue against hers.
Then Holly moved her lower body a fraction and Fraser growled. The human was trying to tease him.
Breaking the kiss, he gripped her hips to keep her still. “I hope you’re ready for some more, Holly. Because I’m not holding back this time.”
Excitement flashed in her eyes. “Good. Because I always want all of you, Fraser MacKenzie. Remember that.”
“You’re so fucking perfect. I can’t believe you’re mine.”
Taking her lips again, he kept her hips in place as he created a quick, hard rhythm. Holly dug her nails into his scalp in encouragement and Fraser pounded harder.
Daring to release one hand, he lightly slapped her bum before grabbing it. He couldn’t wait to feel her soft arse against his skin as he took her from behind again later.
Holly’s hands moved to his arse. She also slapped him before clutching his tight mounds.
He wasn’t sure if he should growl or chuckle.
Then Holly circled her hips and he couldn’t help but break the kiss and say, “Bloody hell, woman, are you trying to kill me?”
Between her flushed cheeks and kiss-bruised lips, Holly took his breath away. “Maybe later.”
Oh, yes. Holly’s true self came out when she was naked.
The pressure built at the bas
e of his spine, so Fraser reached between them and circled around her clit.
Holly closed her eyes. “Yes, harder.”
He stilled his hand. “Look at me first.”
She opened her eyes and the desire and need in them kicked the air out of his lungs.
In the next second, he pinched her clit as he came. Each spurt of semen sent Holly into a fresh orgasm. Her screams of pleasure prolonged his own release.
When he finally spilled his last drop, Fraser hugged Holly close and simply held her.
Both of their breaths were ragged and fast. Yet as Holly’s sweet feminine scent filled his nose, a sense of peace came over him. Taking the female in front of him in this cottage just felt right. He couldn’t imagine setting up a life or growing old with anyone else.
And not just because of his dragon’s instinct. Holly didn’t fall for his charm, yet she had a sense of humor to rival his. She was clever, brave, and the most beautiful lass he’d ever laid eyes on.
So it felt natural to say, “I love you, Holly.”
Without hesitation, his female snuggled into his chest and answered, “I love you, too, Fraser.”
He chuckled. “So you dropped the ‘I think’ part of it, aye?”
She lightly slapped his back. “Some might say that kind of ruined the moment.”
Fraser leaned back to meet her eye. “And what do you think?”
She grinned. “I think it suits it perfectly. Don’t ever change who you are, Fraser, because that’s the man I fell in love with.”
“Good answer, honey. Good answer.” He gave her a gentle kiss. “So does that mean you’ll be my mate?”
She frowned. “Didn’t I answer that already?”
He brushed a piece of damp hair from her face. “You never actually gave me an answer. As much as I appreciate hearing you love me, I need a yes or no.”
The corner of her mouth ticked up. “So you’re the kind of dragonman who needs everything spelled out to the letter?”
“In this, yes. Because I don’t dare hope or start planning the future until I hear a clear ‘Yes, I’ll be your mate, Fraser’ from you.”
“Hey, I don’t sound like that.”
He bopped her nose. “You do, but despite that, I still love you.”
“You’re exhausting sometimes, Fraser MacKenzie.”
He grinned. “That’s what my family keeps telling me.”
Holly looped her arms behind his neck and tilted her head. “I will mate you.”
Joy swelled his heart. He’d been fairly certain she’d say yes, but hearing the words made him the happiest he’d been in his life.
Fraser leaned down to kiss her, but she shook her head. He frowned. “Why are you shaking your head when you just said yes?”
“Because you didn’t let me finish. I will mate you, but only on one condition.”
He growled out, “What’s the bloody condition?”
“I need to meet with your family and make sure everything is okay with them.”
“Of course everything is—”
She cut him off. “They’re an important part of who you are. In order for you to be happy, you need them. Let’s have lunch with them tomorrow and you can meet with my dad at the same time. If everything feels right, then I’ll claim you as mine in front of them all.”
“I can’t see you scooping me up and carrying me away.”
She sighed. “Not all of us need to go caveman-like to claim someone.”
He lightly tapped her backside. “I’m not sure why you’re complaining. I know you like it.”
“I’m afraid to confirm or deny that. Your ego is pretty big today already.”
Leaning down, he nipped the side of her neck. “Then maybe I need to find other ways of making you answer my question.”
There was a warning in her tone. “Fraser.”
He chuckled. “Not right now. I’ll do it when you least expect. For the moment, I need to feed you. Your stomach keeps rumbling and my dragon doesn’t like it.”
Holly gently tugged his hair and he moved to look into her eyes. “Do all dragon-shifter males act this way? As if I couldn’t take care of myself?”
He frowned. “Of course you can take care of yourself. But a good male keeps his female happy. That way, she won’t leave him.”
Smiling, she cupped his cheek. “Good answer. But if I say I want to do something, then I’m going to do it. That will make me happy. Understand?”
His dragon growled inside the maze, and Fraser agreed with his beast. However, he would probably need to compromise with his human every day for the rest of their lives. Despite the challenges ahead, he found himself looking forward to it. “For now. But if we ever have a child, I will take care of you whilst you’re pregnant. It’s a dragonman’s duty. I hope you understand that.”
Holly searched his eyes. When she finally spoke, her voice was quiet. “If it ever happens, then we’ll revisit the idea.”
He took her face in his hands and stroked her cheeks. “Even if all we have are ten cats and a hamster, I will be happy. Because, Holly Anderson, all I need is you.”
Her eyes shined with wetness. “Fraser.”
He gave her a gentle kiss and added, “But I’m drawing the line at ten cats. If you try for number eleven, I’ll sleep in the forest by myself. The wee beasties tend to follow me around and the last thing I need is all of those furry bodies trying to squirm into bed between me and my mate.”
Mischief danced in Holly’s eyes. “Now that you’ve told me that, I have some plans to make. Maybe your brother and sister will help me see them through.”
He sighed. “Bloody fantastic.”
Holly laughed and the sound sent a rush of happiness through his body. He could listen to her laugh all day and it would never be enough.
She snuggled into his chest. “Now about that food…”
“Oh, aye? Now you’re wanting me to pamper you?” She smacked his bum and Fraser chuckled. “I can’t promise anything fancy, but even I can fry up some eggs and bacon.”
Nuzzling his skin, she murmured, “You’ll do, Fraser. You’ll do.”
Hugging Holly tight against his body, he closed his eyes and memorized the moment. He was confident everything would go well the next day, but there was always the chance her father wouldn’t accept him. After all, Fraser had put Holly’s life in danger several times already.
Fraser would treasure every second between now and then. It was a rare gift to find one’s mate and earn her love. He wasn’t about to do anything to fuck that up ever again.
Chapter Twenty
The next day, Holly stopped about twenty feet from Lorna MacKenzie’s cottage and squeezed Fraser’s hand in hers.
What happened inside that cottage would determine her future. As much as she loved Fraser, she wouldn’t be the one to cause strife in his family. Fergus might have said he wanted her to come back to Lochguard over the phone, but that had been during the heat of the dragon siege.
She only hoped it held true in the present as well. The thought of never seeing Fraser ever again, let alone tease him, was a bleak future indeed.
But if it meant Fraser could mend things with his family, she would do it. For him.
Fraser released her hand and hugged her against his side. As she melted against his heat, he whispered, “You won’t believe me no matter how many times I tell you everything will be fine. And here you are, delaying things. If there’s one way to upset my mum, it’s to be tardy.”
She frowned up at him. “That isn’t helping, Fraser.”
“Hey, it’s the truth.” He squeezed her again. “If I know my family at all, and I do, then they won’t hate you, honey. If anything, they’re going to try to draw you into the madness. Faye, in particular, has been looking for an ally against me and Fergus her whole life.”
“It’s not Faye I’m worried about.”
Before Fraser could reply, the door opened to reveal the tall, auburn-haired form of Fergus MacKenzie.
She released her breath as Fraser answered, “Maybe we should stay out here a bit longer, Fergus. Then you can be the focus of their irritation a wee bit longer.”
Fergus shook his head. “If I have to carry you inside this house myself, I will, brother.” Fergus then grinned at Holly. “And then I’ll be back for you.”
Fraser growled. “You’ll not touch her, Fergus. Holly is my female.”
Fergus raised his brows. “She’s about to become my sister-in-law and if you think I’m going to never hug the lass or poke her side, then you clearly don’t know me, let alone our family, very well.”
Fraser’s grip tightened around Holly’s waist. “Then don’t touch her skin. I’m going to implement a gloves and jumper rule. If you wear both of them and don’t touch your cheek to hers, then I’ll allow you to hug Holly.”
Holly was about to protest about Fraser allowing anything, but Fergus was in front of them in the blink of an eye. Before she could utter a word, Fergus growled out, “Are you trying to order me around?”
Fraser leaned closer to his twin. “Aye, I am.”
Something sparked in Fergus’s eyes. He then grinned slowly and reached out a finger to poke Holly’s cheek. Fraser roared as he released his grip on Holly and tackled his brother to the ground.
Holly sighed as the two brothers wrestled in the grass. She needed to figure out how the hell she could tear the two of them apart. Given that both of them were at least 200 pounds of muscle each, it was going to be quite the feat.
So distracted by Fraser and Fergus, Holly didn’t noticed Lorna MacKenzie show up next to her. Holly jumped when the dragonwoman muttered, “The idiots.”
Holly glanced over and saw that Lorna was carrying a wooden spoon. “They’re fighting because of me.”
Lorna shook her head. “Bollocks. They’ve found something to wrestle about nearly every day of their lives. It’s when they’re not picking on each other that I start to worry.”
