“Um, I’ve heard something like that,” Addie murmured. She had several friends who were mated to Kindred warriors and every one of them had mentioned that their husbands loved going down on them.

She was trying to think of something else to say when she finally pulled out his shaft…and completely lost her train of thought.

“Oh myGod," she breathed, looking down at her prize. It was longer and thicker than any male member she'd ever seen—even in porn, which she watched occasionally to take the edge off.Onlyporn with a plot though—she hated scenes that didn't have at least a modicum of dialogue and backstory.

But in all her years of watching, she’d never seen anything like what her Protector had been hiding away in his pants. His cock washuge—long and thick with a broad, plum-shaped head and a thick swelling at its base. There were also short, raised ridges along the top and bottom of the shaft that looked a little like the rungs of a ladder.

“What arethese?”Addie asked, running her fingers up and down them.

“Pleasure ridges.” Drago’s deep voice had gone hoarse. “They help stimulate a female’s clit when she’s riding me.”

Addie felt instantly jealous and extremely possessive of the big Kindred.

“And have you had any females riding you lately?” she demanded, glaring at him.

He shook his head.

“Not since I met you, baby. I knew right away you were my Fated Mate—I haven’t wanted anyone else since we met.”

“Well…all right.” Addie nodded, somewhat mollified. But she wasn’t nearly finished exploring his thick, heavy shaft. “How do you fit this inside someone, anyway?” she asked, still stroking him. “I mean, you’re way too thick and long for the average girl to take, I would think.”

“I’d have to taste you first—eat your sweet little pussy again, baby,” he growled softly, meeting her eyes. “There are agents in my saliva that will help you to stretch and take me all the way inside.”

“There are?” Addie looked surprised. “I thought only Beast Kindred had those?” She knew about this because one of her friends was mated to a Beast Kindred named Beorn.

Drago shook his head.

“No, plenty of Kindred have them. My kind of Drake Kindred couldn’t mate with a female unless they could help her open up. We have to—because of our Bonding Knot.”

“Is that whatthisis?” Addie let her fingertips drift lower to explore the swelling at the base of his shaft.

“Uh-huh.” He nodded and then groaned. “Gods, your sweet little hands are so warm and soft!”

“You like the way I’m stroking you, then?” Without knowing quite what she was doing, Addie climbed into the iron chair with her Protector. Gripping his thick shaft with both hands, she began to stroke up and down at a faster pace.

“Gods, yes I fuckingloveit!” he groaned. Leaning his head back against the back of the chair, he looked at her with half-lidded eyes. “Makes me wish you could mount me for real, baby. But you can’t—I can’t really breed you.”

“No, of course not,” Addie agreed, but her pussy was throbbing with need and her nipples felt stiff with anticipation. “We have to make it look like you are, though,” she pointed out. “So maybe…maybe I should you know, at least rub against you.”

Drago nodded.

“Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. Come a little closer and rub that sweet little pussy on my cock, baby. Are you all wet for me?”

Addie couldn’t lie.

“I am,” she confessed. “I…I can’t seem to help it, Drago.”

Any more than she could help The Thirst that was making her throat so dry. But she tried her best to ignore that. She had a hopeful thought—maybe if she satisfied the sexual urges she was feeling, The Thirst would go away on its own. It was worth a try, anyway.

“Make it look like you’re putting me inside you,” Drago instructed. “Use both hands.”

Addie did as he said. Gripping his thickness in one hand, she reached down and spread her pussy lips open with the other. Then she made a big show of raising up on her knees and lowering herself down.

For a moment the broad head of his cock slipped inside her open folds and she was tempted to try and take it for real. But the thought of having an instant pregnancy and a “Choosing Child” stopped her cold. She absolutely wasn’t going there, no matter how empty her pussy felt.

Instead, she sank lower, letting the underside of Drago’s thick shaft glide against her swollen clit. She couldn’t help moaning as the ladder-rung pleasure ridges bumped over her aching flesh. They seemed to give her extra stimulation as she rubbed against them.

“Oh, why does it feel so good when your ridges rub against me?” she moaned as she slid down his length until her open pussy was pressed just above the knot.
