“You want more, baby?” he growled hoarsely.

“Muchmore,” Addie ordered. “Suck me—suck my nipples!”

A low, hungry grown rose in his throat and he moved to her other nipple and sucked it into his mouth. This time Addie felt his tongue swirling around and around her sensitive peak and areola. And then he suckedhard, taking as much of her breast as he could as he cupped her other breast in one big hand and teased its tender tip.

“Oh…oh!”Addie gasped.

Earlier she’d been halfway wondering if she might be able to come like this—just from having her breasts stimulated. She’d always had extremely sensitive nipples but she was shy about them and had never dared to ask a man to give her this kind of attention. But now the stuff she’d drunk during the Ceremony of Choosing made her bold enough to moan instructions to the big Kindred.

“Deeper—harder! Suck harder, Drago!” she demanded.

He growled deep in his throat and complied, sucking hard on first one peak and then the other, as though he was determined to give her pleasure.

Addie couldn’t help thinking that she’d never been with a man so eager to please her. That was because most of the guys she’d been with had been mostly interested in getting to the “main event”—i.e. fucking. But Drago seemed content to keep sucking and teasing her nipples as long as she wanted him to. She had never had a man lavish this much attention on her breasts before and it wasreallymaking her hot.

“Don’t stop!” she begged, running her fingers through his hair and arching up to meet him. “Just like that—keep going. Oh my God, you’re going to make mecome!”

To his credit, the big Kindreddidn’ttake this as a signal to switch things up and try something new, like so many men did. Instead, he kept doing what he was doing—sucking one nipple and tugging gently at the other with his fingers.

Addie squeezed her thighs together and arched her back, panting…and suddenly pleasure was washing over her. God, she really wascoming—just from having her breasts played with. How was that possible?

Then the wave of pleasure washing over her pushed everything else out of her mind and she gave in to the sheer, mindless bliss of coming while the man she’d wanted for years gave her exactly what she needed.

“Drago!” she moaned, writhing under his hot mouth. “Oh God, Drago, yes—that feels sogood!”

DRAGO

Drago knew he had to makehimself stop. But Gods, it was so hard! His Fated Mate was moaning and crying his name as he sucked her tender nipples and made her come. Her breasts were so warm and soft in his hands and the Drake inside him was insisting they needed to do more—that they needed to Claim her once and for all. The feelings of possessive lust coming from the beast inside him were so hard to fight…

But then he remembered what Addison had said earlier.

“I don’t think I’m drunk anymore—I think I’m high.”

Clearly she’d had some kind of mind-altering substance during that damn ceremony in the Room of Sighs and it had made her react like this. It had made her admit things and do things she never would have done if she hadn’t been under the influence. He had already gone further than he should with her—muchfurther.

He gave her time to finish her orgasm—he wasn’t going to interrupt her pleasure—and then, very reluctantly, he pulled away and sat up.

“Mmm.” Addison looked up at him with a dreamy expression of sated pleasure in her lovely blue-green eyes. “That felt sogood,Drago. I didn’t know I could come that way.”

"Do you believe that I love your breasts now?" he growled hoarsely. He wished she would cover up. Her bare breasts were so beautiful and enticing and his shaft was as hard as a rock in his flight leathers. At its base, his Bonding Knot was throbbing with need and inside him, his Drake was demanding again that they Claim her.

“Yes, I believe it.” Addison smiled dreamily up at him. “You made me feelbeautiful—thank you, Drago.”

Some of the harsh, lustful urgency he was feeling melted into affection for his stubborn, headstrong charge.

“I’m glad, baby,” he murmured, cupping her cheek.

Addison surprised him by turning her head to kiss his palm. Her eyes were sleepy now, as though the orgasm she’d experienced had worn her out.

“Thank you for making me feel better about my nipples,” she murmured and then yawned before continuing. “And thank you…” She yawned again. “For giving me the best orgasm ever.”

“Really? The best ever?” Drago asked, surprised.

She nodded.

“I’ve always wanted a man to pay more attention to my breasts, but after Jason I was always too ashamed to ask them to. And most guys just want to skip the foreplay and get to the main event. You know—sex.”
