Page 71 of Never Flirt with a Dragon

Though we hadn’t physically changed locations, everything was different.

There were no sex dreams that night, but I still woke up feeling hot and needy.

Jasper was still buried inside me, so we didn’t waste any time sating the need.

Twice.

When we finally got off the couch and stumbled into the bathroom, I was so exhausted, I thought my legs might give out. I crashed down in the bathtub, and Jas turned on the water before disappearing.

He came back five minutes later—with a mountain of leftover pancakes, and a huge glass of milk. He didn’t waste any time; just picked me up and folded both of us into the bathtub together. Luckily, it was much bigger than the one in his apartment.

I was feeling even sweatier than I had the day before, so we devoured them together while the tub filled with lukewarm water. I let him feed me, and enjoyed the possessive heat in his gaze with every bite I took.

The food was gone soon enough, and I was relaxing in his arms, in the full tub.

His hands were on my breasts, playing with them lightly while we sat. The room was silent, but it wasn’t an awkward kind of quiet. It was just peaceful.

“So the bond is sealed,” I said softly, ignoring the need that was growing in my abdomen again as Jasper continued touching me.

“Mmhm.” His lips brushed my throat lightly.

“What do we do now?”

“Sate the lust when it hits and enjoy it as much as possible. Two weeks from now, we’ll be ourselves again.”

My happiness faded a little.

The sex had been so, so good… but there was no saying what it would be like when heat was over.

Or if there would be anything between us at all, other than the magic.

“Your scent changed.” His voice was low. He didn’t know my emotions well enough to pinpoint what it was, thankfully.

“I’m just thinking.”

“About?”

“The future, I guess.”

“We’ll deal with it when we get there. For now, I just want to keep you out of pain.” Jasper nipped at my neck again, lightly.

I didn’t want my future to be something we dealt with when we got there, but what alternative was there? Heat’s lust was so overwhelming, I could barely think about anything else. Jasper had made it clear that he wasn’t his normal self because of it, too. So it wasn’t like I could figure anything out with him.

Which left me… avoiding the truth, I supposed.

Avoiding the truth while having outrageously good sex, at least.

“Do you want to figure out how the mental communication works right now?” Jasper asked me, sucking lightly on my throat.

I closed my eyes, focusing on the sensations. “No. Let’s deal with it when we get there, too.”

He chuckled, and sucked harder as he repositioned my hips.

He was inside me and making me scream so fast that it was easy to let go of everything I’d been worried about.

…for the moment, at least.
