Finley’s eyes filled with tears. “You need this to fight Grey.”
Ash shook his head. “No, I don’t, Finley. You’re my heartstone and I have with you me always now. If you’ll have me.”
She lunged at him, pressing her mouth to his. He scooped her into his arms and lifted her up. He held her and kissed for a long minute and then strode through the tent until they were outside under the stars. There was a bed of pillows on his patio outside, but the tent still acted like a barrier around them. He laid her down and covered her body with his own.
“Being my mate will mean being a queen to my people. Or possibly banished with me if they reject you.”
“I don’t know about being queen, but I can figure it out. And if they reject us, we’ll figure it out. Gavin and Pru seemed to do all right.”
“I want to unite the dragons. The world has gotten too small for us to be so isolated. But you’re saying you’ll be my queen?”
She smiled. “I’m with you, Ash. Now…how do we go about this whole claiming thing?”
“Anxious, are we?”
She blushed. “I want you, Ash.”
He grinned. “I don’t know how this feels for a human. It might be painful. In order for the claiming to take, I must bite you. And you must bite me.”
“That’s it?”
“I don’t think sex is a requirement, but usually sex is part of it, as I understand it.”
Finley giggled. “I think we should definitely do it with sex then.”
He chuckled. “I don’t want to ruin your dress, but if I don’t get you out of it soon, I’m going to rip it off you.”
Finley gave him a push to sit back. She stood up, kicking off her heels, and turned her back to him while he still knelt on the pillows. “Would you mind helping me out?”
Ash grabbed a hold of her zipper and slowly pulled it down, the grinding of the zipper opening held his attention as he revealed her body slowly. The purple fabric slithered down her soft skin and pooled around her feet. He was face to face with her round ass in a thong. He grabbed her hips and held her still as he kissed just above the swell of her ass, down her globe and then down the other globe and then gave her a playful bite.
“Oh,” she yelped.
He chuckled as she turned around and swatted him playfully. “This is a good view too.” He hooked his fingers into her purple thong and dragged it down her legs. He pushed his face to the crux of her legs and inhaled deeply. “You smell so good.”
Finley’s breath was already shallow, her arousal perfuming the air, and her skin pink with a delightful blush. He was going to spend the entire evening worshipping her body. He pulled her leg up over his shoulder. She adjusted her stance, so she wasn’t standing so precariously, not that he’d let her fall. And then without a preamble, he buried his face between her thighs. He licked and lapped at her wet, hot center. He groaned, gripping her ass and pulling her against his face, encouraging her to ride him. Her hips rocked and her moans filled the air. She had both hands in his hair tugging every time his tongue hit the right spot until she was just tugging and moaning.
His cock ached to be buried inside of her again. He needed her, wanted her, desired her with everything atom of his being. He lifted her easily and placed her on the pillows. He kissed up her body, all but tearing off her bra and then suckling and nibbling on her magnificent tits until she was bucking against him.
“Ash. Clothes. Off. Now.”
He placed his hands on her knees and widened her legs. “Stay just like this.”
Ash stared at her perfect body while he stripped off his suit. By the time he got to unbuttoning his shirt his patience was gone. Buttons went flying. He yanked his pants down, taking his boxers with them. Once he was completely naked, he dropped his knees between her spread legs.
“I had every plan to make love to you sweet and slow and worship your body, but I don’t think I can manage it. I’m not entirely sure I’m not going to embarrass myself when I bury myself inside you.”
Finley shook her head. “We can do sweet and slow later. I’m pretty sure a round two and three are going to be necessary. There’s plenty of time for sweet and slow. Right now, I just need you to fuck me, Ash.”
“Thank fuck.”
He leaned over her and his cockhead nudged up against her center. He hissed and tried everything he could not to lose his load before he even got inside her. Fuck, she was hot and way too enticing. He pushed in slowly, grabbing her leg and spreading her wider as his girth filled her up. Finley held his gaze as she opened her mouth in a silent cry when he bottomed out inside of her. He eased down onto her, wrapping his arms under her, holding her tightly to him as he started to pump in and out of her.
“Holy Miami,” she groaned.
He captured her mouth and kissed her as he picked up the pace, his body pushing him toward climax. He ground down against her, his pelvic bone hitting her clit and her pussy clenched around him making him drive harder into her.
“When you come on my cock, I’m going to start the claiming,” he growled against her ear.
