Jaden took a deep, shuddering breath and buried his face in her hair. “Thanks. I needed to hear that, I think.” His voice was slightly muffled and his breath tickled her scalp.

“Do you want to take a moment to talk? Cuddle like this?” Maddie asked.

“This is nice,” Jaden murmured.

Maddie snuggled in closer, feeling the rasp of his chest hair against her still bared breasts and his leg hair against her inner thigh as she curled one leg over his. In this position, she felt very exposed, but not as much as when Jaden was eye level to her crotch at the foot of the bed, she supposed, flushing slightly. She reveled in the thrumming beat of his heart below her ear and chewed her lip.

“How old are you?” she asked as she trailed her fingers over the light dusting of hair on his chest.

Jaden chuckled, the vibrations from his chest echoing through to hers. “Thirty-four. Why do you ask?”

“Well, until recently, I hadn’t heard about dragon shifters existing. And Typhon was millennia old. So I was just wondering…” she trailed off.

“Where I came from,” Jaden finished for her. His fingers traced the top of her shirt across her shoulder blades. “I was born a long time ago, when there were many more dragon shifters. But we were feared by the humans, and hunted nearly to extinction. So Augustine, Finley, and I… We’re not biologically brothers, in case you hadn’t noticed—”

Maddie giggled. “You definitely don’t look alike.”

“We decided to try our luck with a witch. She was hard to find, and it was even harder to convince her that we were worth saving.” Jaden squeezed her tighter against his body. “I’m still not sure how we did it. But after a year of doing her errands and helping her on her property, she agreed to put us into stasis. She promised that her spell would put us to sleep until the earth woke up. An added benefit to this spell was that nobody, not even herself, would know where we were resting.”

“How did you end up waking up?” Maddie tilted her head back so she could see his face.

Jaden chuckled. “There was an earthquake, right under our resting place, a couple years ago. We got quite a bit of a shock when we left our hideout. Cars, cell phones, airplanes! Just… everything. We spent a lot of our time hiding, until we heard the rumors of the Underworld as being a safe place for supernatural beings. We came here, got jobs with Odin at Valhalla’s Throne, and have been here ever since.”

“Wow.” Maddie kissed his collarbone. “I can’t imagine how different everything must have been for you.”

“I definitely prefer the houses. Mattresses especially,” Jaden teased. “But the clothing back then had much easier access.”

“I guess I can see that,” Maddie said. “Sorry, but you’ll have to pry my leggings out of my cold, dead hands.”

“The clothing now does have its perks,” Jaden continued, tracing the strap of her tank top over her shoulder from back to front and palming her breast. “Much more form-fitting and very revealing,” he murmured, inching down the mattress to press kisses over her nipple. It pebbled and he sucked it into his mouth.

She clutched his head to her with one hand, reveling in the pressure he was creating. His teeth scraped over the bud and it felt like a direct current right to her clit. She writhed against him, catching her opening on the head of his cock. His length slipped easily through the residual juices of her previous orgasm, the head bumping into her clit as she ground against him.

“Naughty girl,” Jaden said with a smirk, leaving her breast with the nipple peaked and reddened. He tweaked it between his thumb and forefinger and she gasped, hips twitching against him.

“Please,” she whimpered, seeking his cock again. She succeeded in capturing his cock against her opening and rocked down, the thick head sliding inside her. She groaned and hooked her leg over his hip to spread herself wider to accommodate his girth. “Yes!”

Jaden pulled her closer by her thigh, thrusting up at the same time, and suddenly they were fully connected.

“Just… stay,” she whispered, nuzzling their noses together. “Kiss me, breathe with me, be with me in this moment.” She tilted her head to the side and pressed her lips to his, feeling the usual fuzziness that came from kissing Jaden. She hoped that would never fully go away.

His breath through his nose tickled her cheek. She could taste the evidence of her arousal on his tongue. His strong arms banded around her body, holding her to him tight enough that on each inhale, she could feel the rasp of his chest hair against her breasts. His thick cock was deep within her, twitching ever so slightly. She moaned, all her senses on high alert. Even the tips of her fingers as she ran them over the smooth skin of his shoulders were sending back pleasure signals to her brain. Her inner walls clenched involuntarily and Jaden groaned deep in his chest, the sound reverberating through her bones.

She broke the kiss with a gasp. “Want to be on top of you. That okay?”

“Yes,” Jaden agreed without hesitation. He rolled onto his back, pulling her with him so that they remained joined together.

Maddie sat up, taking him impossibly deeper, and yanked her tank top over her head. It caught in her hair as she struggled to get it off.

“Babe,” Jaden growled, “If you keep rocking on me like that, I won’t be responsible for what I do next.”

Finally free from the shirt, Maddie braced herself on his chest and smirked down at him.

“Rocking on you like what? Like this?” She bounced her hips a few times, forcing shallow repetitive thrusts.

“Fuck.” Jaden’s neck muscles showed the tension of his body. “Nope. Can’t do it. Need to pound into you.” He brought his knees up, knocking her forward onto his chest.

“Hey!” Maddie pouted. “I thought you said I could be on top?”
