My lips parted.

My mind spun.

It had been ten days—and he’d never taken me in that position before.

It was intense.

So, so intense.

I was insanely full. So full, I could barely breathe.

“Kyle.” My chest rose and fell quickly. I didn’t know why I was saying his name. I just was.

“You’re so damn good to me,” he growled, lifting me a little before he pulled me down harder.

I gasped as he bottomed out inside me.

“So fucking wet. Tight. Responsive.” He squeezed my ass, and I moved against his cock, earning a growl. “Mine.”

“I’m yours,” I moaned, remembering the way he’d asked me to say it. Something about the words felt sort of… powerful.

He swore viciously, driving into me hard and dragging me over the edge with him as he did. I came with a cry, holding tightly as he fucked me against the wooden wall. It shook with the force, but I was too lost in my pleasure to care.

We were both breathing hard as he came down from the high, one of his hands buried in my hair and the other gripping my ass. “You can’t say that while I’m inside you, Beautiful. Not until the game’s over.”

I frowned, worry clenching my abdomen.

Had I done something wrong?

“I’m sorry,” I said quickly. “I?—”

“No, Sweetheart. No. Don’t apologize.” He growled the words at me. “That’s how we seal the bond. I want to hear the words on your lips—and feel them on mine. I want it badly. Both of us say the words while we’re fucking—that’s all it takes to become mates. But we can’t until the game is over. We have to survive this first.”

Oh.

Wow.

No wonder the words had felt powerful.

“That’s why you like hearing them?” I asked.

“Yes.” He moved his hips a little, making me suck in a breath. “And it satisfies the possessive beast inside me.”

He was a dragon—I knew that from the previous seasons. Shifting took a lot from the guys, so I’d never seen him or any of the others shift.

I wanted to, though.

Almost as much as I wanted to see him wild with need again. That one was far more accessible.

“Does it hurt anything if I say the words and you don’t?” I asked.

“No. Just makes it hard to keep myself under control.”

“Why do you need to stay under control?”

“Because if I shift, my cock will grow, and I’m fucking huge. Even for a fae.” The words were matter of fact, though there was still that sexy pride in his eyes.

“Okay.” I acted like I was dropping the subject and leaned toward him, pressing my lips to his. He adjusted his grip on my ass and kissed me, parting my lips with his tongue.
