Page 60 of To Quench Her Thirst

When she was in position, he couldn't help admiring the erotic sight. Addison was on her hands and knees, her full breasts and tight, puffy nipples hanging down like ripe fruit. Her gorgeous thick thighs were spread wide, giving him another glimpse of her hot pussy, all wet and swollen from the recent pleasure he had given her. It made him want to taste her all over again.

But he reminded himself that he wasn’t getting her into position to eat her pussy. Though the idea of tasting her from behind was intriguing, he wassupposedto be healing the burning design on her back.

Getting up on the bed behind her, Drago straddled her small body with his own much larger one and leaned over to lick her. He dragged his tongue over the thick black line that ran from the center of her back up to the nape of her neck. But though Addison shivered and moaned softly beneath him, the line didn’t get any smaller or lighter. In fact, it almost seemed to be darker after he finished licking it.

Frowning, Drago tried again and then again and again, but all with the same unsatisfactory results. At last he stopped and sat back on his heels, frowning in frustration.

“What is it? Is it working?” Addison turned her head to look up at him hopefully.

Reluctantly, Drago shook his head.

“Afraid not, baby. I’m not sure why. Does itfeelany better?”

Addison had an uncertain look on her face.

“A little, I think. But it seems to be having a different effect on me,” she admitted.

“What kind of effect?” he asked, frowning. “Good or bad?”

“I mean…it feels goodandbad.”

Drago shook his head.

“You’re going to have to explain better than that, baby.”

“Well…” She bit her lip. “It makes the burning on my back a little better, but every time you lick me there, I get this…thisemptyfeeling. You know, inside.” She nodded down at herself and Drago finally understood what she was saying.

“You mean in your pussy?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. “Your pussy feels empty?

“Yes.” She nodded, looking ashamed. “Like I need to be filled. But not with your fingers this time—I need somethingbigger.”

Both of them looked involuntarily down at the bulge in Drago’s flight leathers and he frowned and shook his head.

“I don’t know, baby…”

“Please, Drago?” she begged softly. “Remember how Ls Prissa told us that The Thirst would make me crave both blood and seed? And, well, I drank your blood, but I never really got any of your seed inside me where it was supposed to go.”

“She also said that you might get instantly pregnant,” Drago reminded her.

“Yes, but that was while Sheelash was still alive,” Addie pointed out. “She’s dead now—don’t you think that will make a difference? Since she’s not around to, you know, exert her will?”

“What if it wasn’t her will? What if it was her venom—that ‘Bounty of Sheelash’ that you drank?” Drago asked.

Addie wilted.

“You’re right—it was a stupid idea. I just feel soemptyinside and my back isburning.”

Drago felt a surge of pity and worry for her. She was so sweet and delicate and naked—he wanted to gather her into his arms and make things right for her. It killed him to say “no” to anything she wanted.

But he didn’t want her to have to risk the instant pregnancy and he also didn’t want her to end up Bonded to him. On his home world, it was a great shame for a woman to be Bound to a male with a Primal Drake. He didn’t want to do that to Addison—he cared about her too much. But at the same time, he had to dosomethingfor her—she was in pain!

Suddenly he had an idea.

“IthinkI know a way I can help you,” Drago rumbled. “But you’d have to be a very good girl and hold still for me.”
