“I’m going to start the shower, and then come back and get you, all right? Don’t move.” I kissed her temple. Trying not to focus on how very sexy she was, even when she wasn’t trying to be, I stepped back and turned away to get the water nice and hot.

“Levi?”

I looked over my shoulder to find that she’d hopped off the counter and walked closer. “Yes?”

“Will you stay with me?”

With a small nod, I toed off my shoes, one at a time, before tugging my shirt off in a swift motion. “I wasn’t planning on leaving you, even for a second, until I knew for sure you weren’t going completely into shock.” Not even after that, although I wasn’t as quick to admit that part.

She bit her lower lip, moving in closer. “In the shower?”

Fucking hells, I wasn’t sure how I’d ever lose the erection straining the front of my jeans, and the closer she got, the more her scent invaded my nose, the less I could think of anything other than just how completely bare she was, how easy it would be to press her up against the tile in my oversized shower and make her tremble for a much better reason than why she was shaking earlier.

Her fingers hooked into the waistband of my jeans, and her full, heavy breasts just barely brushed against my chest, tempting me, teasing me. “I don’t want to be alone.”

“Fuck, Izobelle, if you keep looking at me like that, I don’t know that I’m going to be able to stop myself from taking things further than we already have. Not knowing what you taste like, knowing how you feel when you come.”

She looked up at me, her eyes looking more blue than green now, as she popped the button on my jeans. “I think it’s only fair I get to know the same things.”

I groaned, pulling my hips back, away from her touch. “You just went through something traumatic. You looked pale and like you were going to be sick when I came up the stairs. I don’t think fucking in my shower is a good idea right now.”

Okay, that was a flat out lie, because it was all I could think of, the only idea left in my brain as all the blood rushed to my cock. But I was trying to do this right, trying to be the mate she needed. Not give into my baser dragon needs, when I still wasn’t sure she could handle everything that being a dragon’s mate entailed.

She sighed, licking her lips slowly as she trailed her gaze down my body, stopping where my dick strained to escape from the denim prison it was caught in. “I’m a big girl, Levi. If you don’t want to fuck me, you can just say so. I had a few rough minutes, since we literally just killed somebody, but that hasn’t stopped me from wanting to pick up where we left off before Declan crashed the party.” With a huff, she spun around and stepped into the shower, pointedly not looking at me as she doused her hair with steamy water.

Every droplet sliding down her body was one I wanted to lap up with my tongue.

With a groan, I shoved my pants down over my hips, letting the denim pool on the floor as I wrapped my fingers around my dick.

Her eyes flicked my direction, and a slight smirk curved up at the corners of her mouth. “You going to do something, Levi, or should I take things into my own hands?”

I stepped into the shower with her, crowding her even though there was more than enough room for the both of us. “You’d touch yourself for me?”

“I’d touch myself forme.If you’re not going to play nice, then I won’t either.” She raised an eyebrow, challenging me to do something. To show her what I wanted.

The only problem was, I wanted more than I was sure she was willing to give.

I wanted her cunt. Her mouth. Her ass. I wanted to watch her ride my cock, all those delicious curves jiggling and shaking as she took me deep. I wanted to fill her up with so much of my seed that there would be no doubt of it taking root. I wanted to bite her all over, marking her as mine, proving to the world, to everyone dragon, mortal, vampire, and anything else out there, that she was only ever going to take my cock, ever again.

I wanted Izobelle Denison to give all her orgasms to me. I wanted her to never even imagine another man touching her, ever again.

“Levi…?” Her eyes grew wide, and she backed against the tile until there was nowhere else for her to go.

Fuck, I hadn’t even realized I was growling.

We had to break this damned thrall, so that I could fuck her without worry that halfway through my more primal side would terrify her.

With a deep breath, I leaned into one of the shower streams, dousing my hair and hopefully shoving my dragon back down deep.

When I opened my eyes again, though, she was staring at me, mouth open wide.

“Izobelle? Are you okay?”

She nodded, swallowing noticeably before she took a tentative step back in my direction. “Maybe you’re right. Maybe we should wait.”

Although her words were saying one thing, her hand clearly had plans of its own, as her fingers wrapped around my length and squeezed gently.

She was going to be the death of me.
