He takes a breath of relief, but although I’m ready to admit we’re mates, I’m not fully ready to let all my walls down yet.
“I’ve been waiting for you for way too long, Lily,” he says with a rough desperate tone to his voice. It’s like my absence caused him pain. “I’m not about to let you go. Especially into the hands of a dragon. You’re my girl to protect.”
I nod despite myself.
I’ve always been so fiercely independent. I never needed a man to protect me. I’m a brown belt in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and am an excellent shot with the revolver that’s usually strapped to my hip. I protect myself just fine.
But now, that’s all changing. I want to give myself over to him completely. To let him do what he was born to do. Take me. Protect me. Cherish me.
“You’re staying here.” Dominance and authority are thick in his voice.
I nod again.
“Our bodies belong together,” he says. “They were made for each other.”
He pulls off his shirt and I gasp when I see his hard naked chest in front of me. I can’t help but run my hands over his hard pecs and down his chiseled abs. He’s so fucking hot. I can’t get over it.
“I waited for this moment for decades and I don’t want to wait any longer.”
He gently takes my shirt and starts lifting it up. I’m expecting the reaction of stepping back or slapping his hands away, but I’m mesmerized by his beauty and my arms raise instead.
My shirt goes over my head and drops to the floor. His eyes are on my breasts that are heaving up and down as he reaches around to the clasp resting against my back.
He fumbles with it and then grunts in frustration when it’s clear that he’s unable to figure it out.
“I thought my mate would be smoother,” I grin, teasing him as I run my hands up and down his thick carved arms.
“I’ve never had to do this before,” he admits. “I’ll rip it off if you prefer.”
“You’ve… never done this before?” I’m shocked. This man is gorgeous. And he’s a fireman too! I’d figure he’d have gone through multiple beds from the accumulation of notches in the wood that eventually made the beds collapse.
“I’ve been waiting for my mate,” he whispers. “I’ve been waiting for you.”
I shiver, knowing this man is serious. He only wants me.
Memories of hot guys being interested in me start rolling through my head. I never wanted any of them back. I didn’t understand it. I craved something, but it wasn’t any of them.
Now I know… I was waiting for this moment as well.
“Then, I won’t make you wait any longer,” I say as I reach back and unclasp my bra, helping him out. I let it slide down my arms and fall between us.
His big strong hands are on my breasts immediately and he’s in awe as he massages them and runs his thumbs over my hard tingling nipples.
“You are so fucking beautiful,” he whispers as he looks at me.
“I was thinking the same thing,” I whisper back as I look at the masculine curve of his jaw. His sexy lips. His fierce hazel eyes. He’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen.
His mouth comes down on my breasts—kissing, licking and gently nibbling my nipples. I slide my fingers into his hair and hold his mouth against me. It feels so good. He’s already making my toes curl against the floor.
I moan when I feel his hands slide over my ass and onto the back of my thighs. He picks me up easily and I grab onto his neck as he carries me, kissing the whole way, into the kitchen.
He drops me onto the granite island and we knock over the bottle of bourbon. It rolls into the sink, but we don’t stop what we’re doing to get it. Who needs alcohol when you have intoxicating kisses like this?
I hear a primal rumbling filling the air between us and at first, I think a wild animal got into the house until I realize it’s his polar bear. The rumbling goes straight to my aching clit and I moan as my body heats up.
This man is driving me wild. He’s stirring me into a frenzy and I can’t seem to get my body close enough to his.
I gasp into his mouth when I feel how hard his cock is. It’s pressing against me and trapping my breath in my lungs.
“Oh, fuck,” I moan as he starts kissing my neck with rough kisses. His hot breath is brushing against my skin, teasing me, killing me. All while his hard dick keeps grazing against my inner thighs. Too many clothes… He grabs my ass and yanks me closer, pressing my spread pussy against his steel cock as his hand moves back up to my breast.
