"Why don"t you want kids?"
She tensed. He waited for a while but she didn"t say anything.
"Tell me, please. I think you would make an excellent mother."
She choked out a laugh. "You"ve known me all of five minutes."
"It doesn"t matter. You are pa.s.sionate and determined. You would protect them like a mother lion would her cubs. You would stand up for them. You are fierce, Julie. Even I am a little afraid of you sometimes." He smiled. It was true. She could never better him physically but in all other aspects it was game on.
She turned to face him. "You think I"m fierce and pa.s.sionate?" She smiled. "Sheesh, you really want to get back into my pants."
"You"re not wearing any. So no, that"s not my motive. We are going to rut again." He grinned at her, knowing it would look feral. He was that aroused by this female. She didn"t flinch. He pulled her more firmly against his d.i.c.k. "We will rut and we will do so often. I"m going to have you in every position imaginable and some that you"ve never tried. I hope that you will choose to stay here with me but know that if you go..." he paused. "I will make sure that you are ruined for all other males. You will only crave me."
"Wow." She swallowed thickly. "Arrogant much?" She probably didn"t know that she did it, but she glanced at his c.o.c.k before looking back at him.
He nodded. "Yes, I am. There is no shame in it. A fact is a fact. No one has ever felt as good and I know that it was the same for you."
She rolled her eyes. "You"ve only been with two women so it"s not that hard."
"That"s not true."
She frowned. "What? I thought Ash and Ruby were the only women in this place."
"They are the only unmated females in the fire kingdom. I have been with most of the unmated females across the four kingdoms as well as a couple of the older females that lost their mates."
"So in other words you"re a male s.l.u.t." Her hands had curled into fists and he could scent anger. She was jealous.
He held back a grin. "I am a male... yes. It was important that I become experienced in the art of lovemaking so that I could give my female pleasure one day... so that I could give you pleasure." His voice turned husky. It was not to be helped. The thought of her nails digging into him.
"I"m not yours."
"You are."
"No." She shook her head. Her cheeks were still flushed. Her eyes still a tad gla.s.sy. "I don"t need anyone." He sensed a deep-seated pain. Her eyes clouded.
"Yes, you do." He touched a few strands of her hair but she moved away.
"No. I don"t." It was half-hearted. She chewed on her lower lip. "How do you know that humans will even get pregnant? We"re very different."
He felt everything in him tighten as he remembered being inside of her. Deep inside. "No, we"re not." His voice was a deep vibration. "We"re highly compatible."
Julie licked her lips. "Okay, so maybe the s.e.x is good but it doesn"t mean that our two species can reproduce. You are technically part reptile."
"I am part dragon. Reptiles are cold blooded." He was thrilled at her comment about the s.e.x being good. Even if good wasn"t a good enough description.
She nodded and rubbed a hand down his arm. "You are warm."
He nodded. "Two dragons from another kingdom took human females and both have reproduced successfully and numerous times. Human females become stronger once they are mated to a dragon."
"Oh... so it really is possible." She frowned, her eyes lifted in thought.
"Yes." He nodded. Maybe she was thinking about the possibilities, about them being together.
"Don"t look at me like that and don"t get any ideas." She shook her head. "Don"t fall for me."
"Fall?" Why would he fall. He was lying down. Coal frowned.
Julie giggled. "Fall, as in, fall in love. Don"t fall in love with me."
Coal laughed. "Oh... love. I"ve never felt love before. I am not sure I am capable. Dragons do not mate for love. We look for someone we get along well with. Someone who interests us. Someone who is fertile."
She shook her head like he was nuts. "If you say so. I might not even be fertile. I"ve also been told I"m a b.i.t.c.h so there"s not much to like."
"A b.i.t.c.h is a female dog."
"A b.i.t.c.h is someone who..." She looked like she was in thought "Stands up for herself, is honest, is outspoken. Someone who generally says it like it is even though feelings might get hurt. I"m not a pushover. Some people don"t like that quality in a person."
"I like you and you interest me. If you are a b.i.t.c.h, then I like b.i.t.c.hes."
Julie laughed. "You like b.i.t.c.hes?" She was so beautiful. From her radiant smile to those full cherry lips. Her dark hair was spilled across his pillow. The smell of s.e.x was heavy in the air.
Coal grinned broadly. "I like you, Julie."
She licked her lips. "Back to the fertility part. I might not be... fertile that is."
"You are."
"How could you possibly know that?"
"You were carefully selected. We looked for females that needed help but they also had to meet our criteria. A certain age, unmated, no children of their own and... fertile."
She rolled her eyes. "And you what? Experimented on me while I was sleeping? How would you know that?"
"Whoever was watching you will have scented it."
"That"s crazy and just a bit creepy." She pulled a face. "I was followed?"
"Yes, but it was only to be sure. We needed the arrangement to be mutually beneficial."
Julie pulled a blanket over herself. Coal gave her some room. He sprawled himself out on the bed. His c.o.c.k was still as hard as it had been before they"d had s.e.x. The guy wasn"t lying about going at it all night.
Thank G.o.d he spoke as if this was a business arrangement. It suited her just fine. She"d chill here for a few weeks as promised and then it was back to her old life. This was a retreat. Coal was seriously hot and great in bed. He might want her for a mate and to have his babies but he wouldn"t fall in love with her. That meant that he would let her go. He would move on. There were plenty of human women that would give their left arm at a chance at a guy like him.
She felt a pang at the thought. The s.e.x. She would miss the off the charts s.e.x. That was why she felt this way.
You will only crave me.
His words rolled around her head as she watched him from under her lashes. Washboard abs, broad shoulders and lips made for kissing. His c.o.c.k was made for other things entirely. His mouth lifted in a lazy, half smile. She feared he was right. She would be ruined. Those pasty white, nerdy types that tried really hard would never do it for her again. Coal didn"t have to try. Not even a little bit. He was naturally good. No, he was great.
"Stop looking at my c.o.c.k or I will be forced to rut you again."
"I"m not complaining." She had to smile.
Coal grinned right back at her. He was quite spectacular when he smiled. The gold flecks in his eyes became more p.r.o.nounced. "I must feed you first."
Now that she thought about it, she was really hungry.
Coal got up off the bed and headed for the kitchen area. Oh, that a.s.s. And oh, those thighs. He grabbed a skillet and some meat out of the fridge. "How do you like your steaks done?"
Her mouth watered. She wasn"t sure whether it was him or the thought of food that caused it.
"You"re going to cook for me?" She rolled onto her stomach.
There was a clicking noise as he lit the stove, placing the skillet on the flames. Coal nodded, he turned and leaned back against the counter, folding his arms across his chest. So freaking hot.
Coal nodded. "I most definitely am." He raised his brows.
Wow! Just wow. She looked down at his hard c.o.c.k. "Naked?" She raised her own brows as she locked eyes with him.
Coal nodded, he turned and slapped the steaks onto the hot skillet.
It was weird, yesterday she"d felt like the unluckiest person on the planet. Today she felt like the tables might be turning.
"Are you going to actually feed me my food as well?" She could hear the suppressed laugh in her voice.
Coal glanced back over his shoulder, he was smiling. One of those naughty grins. "No." He paused. "You feed yourself while I eat you. I think that"s a much better plan." He licked his lips. Licked. His. Lips.
Heat infused her cheeks. What was she getting herself into? This felt dangerous.
Chapter 14.
One week later...
His blood ignited. His veins caught fire. He growled as he pulled the moving sheet away.
Julie.
By all that was scaly.
Her mouth was wrapped around his c.o.c.k. Wrapped around. He could barely breathe. Couldn"t think at all. He growled again as he watched her full b.r.e.a.s.t.s sway as she sucked him deeper. One of her hands ma.s.saged his sacs while the other moved up and down his shaft.
She made a slurping noise as she continued sucking on his d.i.c.k. Up and down and up again.
"Female," he growled loudly. "What are you doing? Whatever you do"-he paused to moan-"don"t stop." He quickly added. "Do. Not. Stop." He threaded his hands into her soft hair then thought better of it. Coal grabbed the the blanket instead. He was growling and grunting. He had to work not to thrust into her mouth. It was agony and ecstasy.
No wonder females enjoyed a male"s mouth on them. If it felt anything like this, he could understand. As soon as she was done, he was returning the favor.
He swallowed hard. He could feel the build inside him, could feel his b.a.l.l.s pull up. Smoke curled from his nostrils.
She looked up from under her lashes and smiled around his c.o.c.k. Her little hand worked quicker on his shaft. Pumping him.
"Female," he growled. "I"m going to..." he thrust his hips just a little. Julie took him deeper, she took him right down her throat. It was the most sensual thing he had ever seen. "Female..." he growled again. "Julie..." It was a plea for her to stop and at the same time, it was a plea to carry on. Do. Not. Stop. He silently begged.
Thank claw she carried on. Pumping him harder still, sucking on his head with that sweet mouth of hers.
He groaned her name as the first spurts erupted and threw his head back and roared as he all out o.r.g.a.s.med. He heard her greedy swallowing noises which only made him come harder.
She didn"t stop, dragging out his pleasure. He put a hand to her head, as he watched her slow until she finally released him with a pop. Julie looked up at him with wanton eyes.
"That was amazing." He finally managed to choke out. His voice was thick and rough. "That was..." He didn"t know how to put it into words. His chest heaved and his eyes were wide.
"You"ve never had a b.l.o.w.j.o.b, have you?" She licked her lips.
Coal shook his head. "I"ve heard the males talk of them but never believed that it could be as good as s.e.x. I was wrong."
"You poor baby." She climbed onto his lap. It was a strange human expression. Julie called him baby from time to time. She had explained that it was an endearment. One he still hadn"t gotten used to. Then she stroked his c.o.c.k and he forgot all about strange human sayings.
"I can"t believe that dragon women don"t suck c.o.c.k."
"They are spoiled for choice. So many males..." he groaned as her hand moved up and down on his shaft. "They are the ones in the driver"s seat."
"Still, it"s a two-way street. It should be give and take." She smiled. "More fun that way." It certainly was.
He loved the way her mind worked. Coal smiled. "I"m going to rut you and then we"re going out." He kissed her softly on the lips. Julie immediately deepened the kiss and stroked him some more. She didn"t like it when he kissed her. It was fine if it was s.e.xual, otherwise she froze or pushed him away or turned it s.e.xual like she was doing right now. She hadn"t said much about herself even though they"d spent the last week holed up in this room.
It was one rutting session after another. He wasn"t complaining but at the same time, he wanted to know more about her too. If they stayed here, it would end up with him buried in her several times over the course of the day. He broke the kiss.
"No wonder you guys had to resort to kidnapping human women." She smiled.
"We didn"t kidnap you to suck our c.o.c.ks, although maybe we should have." He smiled back at her.
She narrowed her eyes. "You have a dirty, dirty mouth."
Coal felt himself frown. "I still need to brush my teeth. I"m sorry, I-"
She laughed. "No! Your mouth is fine. Very fine." She kissed him, nipping at his lips. His c.o.c.k went from hard to ridiculous. "Dirty mouth means you"re cra.s.s and caveman, which you are."
"You love it." He cupped one of her lush b.r.e.a.s.t.s and raked a thumb over her nipple, to prove a point. Julie moaned.
Coal hugged her tighter. "We"re going out. I want you to meet my brother." Blaze had summoned him more than once over the last few days and he"d ignored him. Coal needed to meet with the male before Blaze lost it. He wasn"t the most patient male around.
