“We’ll wait until after our friends go home,” I said.

“Are you mad at me?” he whispered.

“No. Either way, no, sweetheart, I’m not mad. What you did before you knew is only my business in so as far as it affects your health now. If you got it from every guy on that app you love so much, good for you. Get yours!”

He chuckled and chanced a glance at my face.

“You smell like you actually mean that.”

“You’re making me regret it, though. When you look at me like that half of me wants to kick the ass of every alpha who might’ve made you feel bad about wanting to get laid and the other half of me wants to fuck you until you don’t remember anyone else ever knotting you.”

“Some people say violence is never the answer. So, I guess we’re stuck with the latter,” he laughed, a blush spread over his face. “Though, that’s gonna be a lot of romping. We’re really gonna have to clear our schedule and hide away better than we have so far. First my sister and then the baby found us. I’m glad no one’s hunting us for sport. We’d be dead.”

“No,” I said, brushing a stray lock of hair out of his face and meeting his gaze, “they’d be a block of frozen flesh. Not all ice melts and comes back to life.”

“You’re giving me chills,” he whispered, leaving his lips parted and inches away from mine when he finished speaking.

I glanced down the beach to where we left the others. Liatris and Selt had taken the baby into the waves. I glanced around inevery direction before I stole a kiss. This wasn’t the most family friendly beach in the world, but Selatris had proven that kids are slippery little boogers and ended up in the last places you expected them to be.

At first, I kissed him softly, but as soon as my tongue found his it wasn’t enough. My hands slid from his back to cup the round, full globes of his ass. He groaned against my lips and everything inside me came to life. I wanted to drag him back up to the Scale B&B house but that would draw too much attention. Kissing him and holding onto his ass would have to be enough for now.

“I know a spot that’s not the house,” Sequin whispered between kisses. “It’s technically a place they set aside for an emergency storm shelter if you’re caught out and about by a sudden weather change but it’s sunny and that means it’s empty. They’ll know they can hang around, right?” he glanced back down the beach at our friends.

“I think they’ll figure out what we ran off to do. They know their way back to the house if they want to stick around and wait for us. The fridge is full after all,” I said.

“Come on,” he said, stealing one more kiss before tugging me off across the sand.

Chapter Twelve

Sequin

Every atom inside my body pulsated with need for Xav. What we started earlier hung in the air between us and with each step I dragged my feet over the sand my heat reawakened. It inched its way up from the soles of my feet and the tips of my toes. It coiled around me, making it feel as if I dragged the weight of the universe behind me. I needed him. I needed the tugging behind my navel to stop. I needed to know what was inside his head and to finally have someone understand exactly where I was coming from with all my inner monologues. I squeezed his hand as the walk down the beach seemed to grow longer with each step. The cave I was taking him to wasn’t that far from the rental. Why was it taking so long now?

I couldn’t take it anymore. Liatris and Selt were tiny dots on the horizon, and I couldn’t see the baby at all. We were as alone as we were going to get until we got to the cave. Alone enough would have to do.

“Where is t---” Xav tried to ask but I claimed his lips in a hard kiss before he got the question out. I’d show him the cave soon. It was there. I could see the rocky ledge of its mouth from here in the rock wall but that was too many words to say, and I had better things to use my tongue for.

“If they weren’t down there, I’d suck your dick right here,” I said, walking him backwards toward the rock wall and kissing him again. I was so hard and slick enough that walking back by our friends might’ve been a walk of shame for me. It was already dribbling onto my thighs. I leaned against him, keeping him in place, and kissed him for as long as I could stand it. His hands found my ass and his fingers kneaded into my flesh. This is whatI had waited for. Xav was what had been missing my whole adult life.

Unable to keep my hands off him, I grabbed his dick, and he swallowed hard, letting out a little moan against my lips. I stroked him through his pants, the shape and weight of his shaft already familiar against my skin. I held onto him tightly, stroking and squeezing him, until everything inside me screamed. He swelled up in my hand, expanding against my tight fist, and knotting. I smiled against his lips and stroked him faster. We were going home in shifted forms because our clothes weren’t going to be fit to wear when we were done with each other.

“Cave now, mate,” he growled, and a chill shimmied down my spine.

I kissed him one more time because I couldn’t stop myself before grabbing his hand and pulling him the last twenty yards down near the sand into the cave. I barely glanced around at the emergency supplies before kissing him again. I made to grab his knotted dick, but he pulled away and grabbed one of the blankets from the back shelf to spread out over the floor. He kicked off his shoes and beckoned me to him with a finger. I rushed into his arms, grateful I opted to come out barefoot. I didn’t have time to bother with shoes. Hell, if my dragon had his way, I wouldn’t have even bothered with clothes.

“Unnecessary! Grow some fluff if you’re so damn cold all the time!”my dragon grumbled.

He pulled my shirt off over my head and then I stole his too. They landed somewhere towards the back of the cave but in my rush to get him out of his pants I didn’t bother to keep track of where. He pulled me in for another long, hard kiss. Every inch of me ached for him. I was hard, slick, and burning up. It was as if my dragon had swallowed the suns of a thousand planets and wanted to shine all their light out through my pores. I sankdown onto my knees and stopped him when Xav tried to follow me. He was hard, so hard, as I nuzzled against his dick through his pants. Then I had enough of those damn pants in my way. I made quick work of his clothes and freed the knotted object of my desire.

Pressing my lips against the plump tip of his cock, I let out a long breath. Heatwaves bounced off the cave walls trying to cook me like a giant oven. Xav’s fingers ran through my hair, chilling my scalp and sending little icy lightning bolts down my spine. I breathed a sigh of relief and drew circles around the tip of his cock. Then licked away a drop of salty precum. I slid my mouth down over his thick shaft until I reached the part it was knotted and couldn’t go any further. Dropping down lower, I licked over his knot and his fingers dug into my shoulder. His other hand entwined my hair around itself. I didn’t care what the damn explanation for his ability to knot was, I was grateful for it. I’d have kissed and licked it all day if his dick hadn’t began to tremble and shake under my mouth. I pulled away not wanting him to come yet. Xav tugged on my hair, just enough to make my whole scalp prickle and I rose up to kiss him, hungry for any part of him I could get my hands or mouth on.

“I want inside of you,” he growled against my lips as I pulled away, considering what I wanted to do to him next. “I want to put all this inside of you.” His hips bucked forward as he spoke. “But you’ve got me all knotted up.”

I glanced down, my dragon taking his deep, throaty words as a challenge. I kissed him again, taking him in my fist now that he’d had a few moments to cool down and regain some of his self-control. I stroked him as I toyed with the idea. Would he fit inside me like that? Knots fit but they usually grew once things were already going. I stole glance after glance of his thick, knotted dick. Yeah, I could take that. I’d have to work up to it, but I was gonna do it.

“Here,” I said, dropping down onto the blanket and tugging him with me. “Sit. Get comfy.”

I straddled his legs before he had a chance to say anything and kissed him again. His long, nimble fingers wrapped around my dick and stroked slowly while we kissed.
