It was hard not to chuckle. Xiang was trying very hard not to say that he thought he was a virgin. Grabbing the hem of Xiang’s shirt, he ripped it over his head and tossed it aside. The damn thing was only getting in the way.
“No practice?”
“Well,” Xiang hesitated. He paused, focusing his attention on helping Kai out of his own shirt. A hiss escaped them both when their bare chests came together for the first time. Kai’s heat instantly overwhelmed Xiang’s chill, putting a flush to his cheeks.
“Well?” Kai prodded.
“Huh?” Xiang’s head snapped up, his eyes glazed over for a heartbeat before he blinked them focused. “Oh. Yeah. You don’t seem to actually like people, which makes it difficult to have sex. Unless dragons have very active sex lives with each other, and that’s something that was not covered in the old myths.”
Kai opened his mouth, ready to set Xiang straight about his previous sex life with humans and dragons, but not a single syllable left his lips. Xiang’s hand shot up and covered his mouth.
“You know what? On second thought, I’d rather not know.”
His lips parted on a grin, and he licked across Xiang’s palm. The vampire squeaked and jerked his hand away.
“I think it’s enough to know that this isn’t your first time,” Xiang continued, though there was something in his eyes that made Kai think this was more a question than a statement.
“First time? No.” He paused and smirked. “First time with a vampire? Yes. Is there anything I should know about the unique preferences of vampires?”
Xiang wrapped his arms around Kai’s neck, plunging one hand into the hair at the back of his head. He pressed, and Kai obliged, bending closer. “We bite more than most.” When he smiled, there was a hint of long, white fangs and a faint glow to his eyes that was so very intoxicating. Part of Kai longed to know what it would be like to have Xiang bite him, to know his blood was flowing into his body, extending his life.
But there was a danger too.
“Maybe we should avoid the biting this time,” Kai hedged. Muscles tensed throughout his entire body, waiting for Xiang to be displeased with this request.
His lover surprised him again by beaming at him, the fangs disappearing. “I’d never bite you without your permission. Besides, I don’t know what ancient dragon blood would do to me, and I think my clan has had enough scares.”
That was enough. No more talking.
Kai bent and swept Xiang into his arms, wringing a shocked yelp out of the man as he took the necessary two steps to reach the bed. He dropped Xiang into the center, where he bounced on the mattress. When he was settled on the covers, Xiang was naked and even more lovely than Kai had expected. Every inch of him was hard, toned muscle under sleek pale skin. A sprinkling of old scars crisscrossed his chest and left shoulder, but they told the story of a life well lived. Xiang was every bit the warrior, and every true warrior had seen tough battles in their life.
“Hey! How did you do that?” Xiang shouted as he glanced at his naked body.
“Magic,” Kai purred. He waved a hand down his own frame and his clothes disappeared before he slid into bed next to Xiang.
The vampire turned toward him and wrapped an arm around his waist, pulling him in close. “Then what took you so long?”
Kai seized his chatty mouth, tangling their tongues together so there was no more talking. Just touching and devouring. The only sounds he wanted to hear were Xiang’s ragged pants and the racing beat of his heart.
He wanted to get lost in everything that was Li Xiang. And he wanted to be everything to this man.
Fingers slid along Xiang’s chest, soaking in the silky smoothness of his skin as it rippled over bunched muscles. The pad of his thumb brushed a nipple and Xiang’s breath caught in his throat, bringing a wicked grin to Kai’s lips.
Xiang rolled Kai onto his back, their legs rubbing and flesh teasing as it pulled, but Kai would not be distracted. Digging fingers into Xiang’s plush ass, Kai held him in place as he licked across that innocent nub. He sucked and teased that bit of flesh until it hardened. A low, delicious moan rattled up Xiang’s throat and Kai shifted his attention to the neglected nipple.
“Fuck, Kai,” Xiang groaned. He shifted his hips, lining his hard cock up along Kai’s so that they rubbed together with every thrust.
Kai hissed and swore he saw stars burst in front of his eyes. How long had it been since someone had last touched him like that?
Fuck.
How long had it been since he’d last bothered to even have an orgasm?
Maybe he should have told Xiang he was a virgin. He couldn’t remember anything ever feeling this good, and they were just getting started.
