He held them there, his lips skimming over hers. “I know you respond to my touch as if you were under the influence of my risbrosius, but I have used none on you. I know that I want to kill any who harm you. And I know that the threat of you leaving me halted me in my tracks. I want you, Alondra. All of you.”

“But we just met, and we don’t…”

Growling, he withdrew his hand from her, leaving her feeling empty. He stepped back fast and rotated his head from side to side, his body looking strained. She realized then that he was fighting his dragon side, and that it was for her benefit, because she was freaking out about the idea of forever with him.

Trust him.

“Rayer?”

He opened his eyes and looked at her, appearing to be in pain. “Go to the room and lock the door. I must go and shift. I need to fly. I need distance.”

Shaking her head, she took hold of the bottom of her sweater and lifted it higher and higher, feeling wanton and free.

His gaze snapped to her sex and the muscles in his neck popped.

“Alondra, stop.”

“Finish what you started,” she said.

He shook his head. “You do not understand what you’re asking of me. You are young. Too young to fully grasp the consequences of our joining. Too human to understand that mates meet and are driven together—love and getting to know one another come after. And they do always come.”

She widened her stance, keeping her sweater held up. He was going to leave her standing there looking like a needy fool, she could just sense it.

His nostrils flared, and he touched the top of his dress pants. He undid the button slowly, his gaze never leaving her sex. “It will hurt at first. There is nothing I can do about our size difference, or the fact that you have come to me untouched by another. I am thankful for as much, because I know I would have to hunt any man who dared to know your body, but, my love, it means our first time together will not be as pleasurable for you as it will be for me.”

He freed his cock, and she nearly fainted at the sight of it. He was huge. The man wasn’t joking. She noticed something else: he lacked any type of pubic hair or body hair at all that she could see.

He stroked his long, thick, hard shaft and stood there watching her as he did. The tip of his penis began to glisten, and while she was a virgin, she wasn’t totally naïve about sex. She understood that was pre-cum. His early words came back to her.

“If your come gets on or in me, and I’m really the one for you, it will start our mating?” She motioned to his glistening cock.

He nodded.

“What would complete the mating then?” she asked.

“Me buried to the hilt in you while we’re both reaching climax,” he said evenly, as if he talked about sex all the time and it was no big deal.

She took a deep breath, gathering her nerve, and did what felt right. She pushed off the window and reached out, taking his wet cock in her hand. The second her fingers made contact with his cum-slicked shaft, something deep within her felt as if it was yanking her toward Rayer.

He gasped and then moved before her, lifting her, her legs going around his waist at once. He reached between them, held his shaft, and then pressed the head of it to her wet entrance.

She stilled; the feeling of thousands of tiny threads weaving them together came over her. She clung to him, feeling so connected to him that she couldn’t imagine going back to her life before him.

“You are mine,” he said, his voice deep, as if he was fighting something.

She touched his face, making him look at her. “Are you sure I’m the one? How do you know?”

His eyes swirled with vibrant silver. “Do you sense the bond forming between us? The connection tying us together forever?”

Her eyes widened and she nodded.

His cock head pressed into her farther and she moaned, the feeling of being tied to him growing even more. His entire body strained as he held her and for a second she worried she was too heavy for him.

He put his forehead to hers. “I fight to ram balls-deep in you. I do not wish to harm you.”

Alondra continued to cup his face, putting her lips close to his. “Do it, Rayer. Make me yours.”

He growled and then thrust into her, going to the hilt, making her cry out in pleasure in his arms. Quickly, her body adjusted to his massive size, as if she truly had been made just for him. She wrapped her legs tighter around his waist, loving the feel of having him inside her.
