“Why would I regret telling the truth?” Addie asked, honestly mystified. “I’ve always wanted to kiss you, you know,” she added. “Or I guess to be accurate, I’ve always wanted you to kiss me. I mean, I’ve wanted you ever since you knelt down on one knee and swore to protect me with your life.”
Wow, she was really spilling all her secrets here, but somehow it felt right.
Drago’s expression softened as he pushed the black netting that draped down from above like mosquito netting aside with an elbow and laid her down in the bed.
“I want you too, baby,” he growled softly. “But I can’t have you.”
“Why not, though?” Addie protested. “Why can’t we have each other?” A sudden thought came to her and she blurted it out without even thinking. “Is it because you don’t like my nipples?”
“What?” Drago looked honestly confused.
“You don’t want me because I have puffy nipples,” Addie repeated and she was sure it was true. She tugged at the top of the dress and pulled the stretchy material down, baring her breasts. “See? You don’t like them, do you? Because they look weird.”
Drago sat on the bed beside her, his golden eyes roving over her bare breasts.
“They don’t look weird to me,” he said, his voice coming out in a hoarse rumble. “Your breasts and nipples are beautiful, baby.”
“You don’t think they’re too puffy?” Addie asked anxiously. “Jason Grey back in college said they looked weird—that I was deformed.”
Drago’s face darkened.
“What? Why would he say such a thing?”
Addie shook her head sadly.
“I don’t know. He was the first guy I ever slept with and he made me feel so bad about myself.”
His golden eyes narrowed.
“Where does this Jason Grey live? I think I might pay him a visit as soon as we get back to Earth.”
“I don’t know where he is now,” Addie said. “But if he felt that way about my breasts, it makes me think every other guy does too—you included.”
“That’s not true!” Drago protested. “I told you—you’re beautiful, baby.”
“Really?” Addie reached for his hand and placed it over one of her bare breasts. “Feel them,” she urged. “It’s just a genetic thing—having puffy nipples. I swear it’s supposed to be normal. I know because I looked it up on the internet.”
For a moment his big hand stroked gently over her bare breasts. Addie gasped in surprised pleasure as his callused fingertips caressed her tight tips, sending sparks of pleasure through her entire body. Everything felt more sensitive somehow. It was like every nerve ending was on high alert. Her pussy began to feel hot and wet and swollen and she arched her back, moaning softly.
“Oh, Drago, that feels so good!”
Abruptly, he pulled his hand away.
“I shouldn’t do this. You’re not in your right mind.”
“Yes, I am! I’m more in my right mind now than I’ve ever been!” Addie protested. She felt that this was true somehow, though she couldn’t have said why. “I’m just trying to find out why you don’t like me. If it’s not my puffy nipples, then what is it?”
“I do like you, baby,” he said softly. “So fucking much. But I can never have you—never. So we should stop this right now.”
He started to get up but Addie wasn’t ready to let him go.
“Hey—come back here!” She looped an arm around his neck and pulled his face down to hers. Before he could protest, she kissed him, tasting his lips for the first time as she’d always wanted to.
Her Protector stiffened for a moment—then he kissed her back. Running his big, warm hands up her arms he pushed them above her head. Capturing both her wrists in one hand, he held her in place. Then he took her mouth with an urgency she’d never felt before—it was as though he was hungry for her and he couldn’t get enough.
“Mmm!” Addie moaned as he deepened the kiss. She loved the feeling of being pinned down by the big Kindred. It wasn’t lost on her that she was spread out on the bed with her arms above her head and her bare breasts still on display. She felt incredibly helpless…and incredibly hot at the same time. She arched against him, wishing he would stroke her breasts again while he kissed her. If only he would, she was almost sure she could come just from the pleasure of his big, warm hands on her sensitive peaks…
But then Drago pulled back, panting, his eyes glowing in the dim room.
“Is that what you want, baby?” he growled. “You want me to show you how much I want you?”
“Yes!” Addie moaned without hesitation. “But not just by kissing me—you have to prove it to me.”
“Prove it? Prove what?” His brow furrowed in confusion.
“Prove you really do like my breasts—my nipples,” she demanded. “Kiss me there if you really like them.”
