Page 46 of The Dragon's Mate

She was too warm. Much too warm.

She pulled at the collar of her t-shirt,pacing the kitchen back and forth as her dragon growled at her. I want thehuman. Give him to me.

Stop it. What is wrong with you?She had no idea what was wrong with her dragon, but she was startingto think that agreeing to stay for a drink had been a very bad – oh God, why wasit so hot? She knew humans were fragile, but did they really need to turn theheat this high in their homes? It wasn’t even winter yet.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead andglanced at the doorway before blowing out a small puff of flame. The air shimmeredin front of her and she waved away the smoke that drifted from her nostrils.

She was marginally cooler, and she fannedherself with her hand before grabbing a glass from the cupboard and pouring herselfsome water. She drank it in three swallows and wiped the sweat from her foreheadagain.

The human,her dragon whined,give him to me.

“Knock it off,” she muttered.

Join him in the shower. Suck his cock.Fuck him.

Her eyes widened and she backed up untilher ass hit the edge of the counter. What the hell was going on? She wasattracted to the human just like her dragon, but she couldn’t fuck him.Forgetting that she’d be banished from the clan if they found out she fucked ahuman, like she’d told Sika earlier - Bren wasn’t the type to give up controlin the bedroom.

Only one way to find out.

Shut up, shesnapped at her dragon.Are you trying to get us banished?

I need him. I need his cock.

She closed her eyes as lust flooded her body.Just thinking about Bren’s dick was getting her going. She palmed her own breastthrough her t-shirt, flicking at her nipple with her thumb as new desire madeher growl deep in her throat. God, she wanted to see his cock.

She wanted to touch it. Taste it. Slideit into her pussy and ease this deep and maddening ache inside of her.

She closed her eyes, her other hand slippingbetween her legs to rub as she pictured pushing a naked Bren onto his bed, climbingon top of him, impaling herself on his cock and riding him until she’d taken whatshe wanted. Until he’d made her come repeatedly and she was finally sated.

She would take the human as her mate and hewould fill her belly with his seed. When she was pregnant, she would –

What the fuck?

She pulled her hands away from her breastand her crotch, her heart hammering in her chest and little wisps of smoke puffingout of her nostrils with every breath she released.

He is our mate, her dragon said. We love him.

Her body jerked all over and this timeflames shot from her mouth. She clapped her hand over her mouth, her eyes wideas she heard her mate’s footsteps moving down the hallway toward the kitchen.

We love him,her dragon whispered.

She dropped her hand, a slow smile crossingher face as a new burning began in her belly. How could she have been so stupid?How could she even think of denying her dragon what they both wanted?

The human was her mate. She loved him, andit was time to take what was hers.

Bren stepped into the kitchen. “Okay, so Idon’t have much in the way of hard liquor, but there’s beer in the fridge and Ithink maybe a bottle of wine in the…”

He paused with his hand on the fridge door,inhaling deeply. “Were you lighting matches in here? It smells like –”

He grunted in surprise when Kaida’s handgripped his arm and, with surprising ease, whipped him around and slammed himback against the fridge.

“Kaida? What are you doing?” Every musclein his stomach tensed and his cock hardened when Kaida traced one finger downhis stomach.

“I want you, human.” She grinned at him andhe swallowed hard when he saw her sharp fangs.

“Um, maybe you should…oh fuck.” His backarched, and a groan slipped out when she licked the side of his throat before suckingon his earlobe.
