“And now I keep asking questions.”

“I don’t mind. Talking helps. My heart. My brain. Me to feel like crazy in general. I knocked Mori over,” he laughed.

“You have a good pounce on you. I’m going to remember that if we ever argue,” I chuckled. “You’ll just knock me right over.”

“I’d never do that to you!”

“I’m a dragon. My siblings have done worse,” I said, cupping his chin and leaning in for another kiss.

I couldn’t resist Othoni’s soft lips. We were both hard and ready. I’d give him courtship if that’s what he wanted. We just had to figure out how that would look for us. Abstinence didn’t seem to be on the table.

“How about I help you and then we can go for a walk and see if anyone needs help?”

“For what?” Othoni blinked and I laughed.

“No, mate. We’re not going to go offer random people hand jobs. I meant with storm clean up.”

“Oh,” he said still crimson faced. “That. I’d almost forgotten about the storm.”

“Yeah, yeah. I knew it! It was just an excuse to hide in my bed!”

“I didn’t know you’d come home and get naked and rub all over me.”

“I’ll make a habit of it too,” I said and stole another kiss.

“Please, do.”

Chapter Eleven

Othoni

Air caught in my lungs when Teddy wrapped his fist around my dick through my pants. His hand was big and his grip strong. Still, somehow his touch was gentle as his fingers slid over me, caressing. I breathed out, the air escaping with a purr. How could I not purr with my mate’s hand wrapped around me like the most glorious cock cage?

The urge to lick and groom him returned. My eyes shifted to that of my jaguar’s, and I tried hard not to. Even in human form my tongue was textured like my inner beast’s, and it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I was caught up in not licking him that when I did lick his arm it caught me off guard.

“Sorry!” I said, pulling away as much as I could with my dick in his grip.

“For what?” he blinked at me. “You’ve been licking me all day. It’s all good.”

“Some people think the texture is weird and….”

“Some people have very boring lives,” he smirked and stole a kiss before saying. “It’s your tongue. It’s not like you can go to a shop and get a new one. I have scales that pop up randomly off and on in a million places. I have no room to speak. Seriously. Whoever complained about your tongue needs to grow the fuck up.”

I kissed him again because I didn’t know what to say. Everyone in my life had always been overprotective of me. It was my lot in life as heir of the pard. I had to be kept alive and intact to do my job in the future. Only that meant eighty percent of the time my feelings were ignored. At least they were before I left the pard to explore Earthside. I’d grown used to it. I couldn’t put my finger on the feeling sparking deep inside me. Maybe it was just a side effect of the true-mate response but it was something more. If Mori were here, we’d discuss it at length. He’d probably have a simple explanation for it all.

“You okay, mate?” Teddy asked. “Looks like your mind sort of wandered off there.”

“It did. I’m--- This feels good. You. Me. My dick. This--- Being able to lick you.”

“Life is easier when you can be yourself,” Teddy shrugged. “Grooming is a vital part of feline social life. It’s also part of feline shifters’ sex lives. I’m not that ignorant. So, if it’s something you enjoy go for it. I’m never not going to be a dragon. Sure, my dragon has some fox in him, but he’s still a dragon. So, be as catty as you like. As catty as you are.”

I licked his arm again, testing the water and reveling in his arm muscles flexing under my tongue. It was as if I could lap up his strength with my tongue. I moved over and licked his chest. He was still as shirtless as he was when he crawled into bed during the storm. I moved over and straddled one of his legs. I rubbed myself against him, nearly humping his thigh as I licked over his chest and traced the lines between his well-defined muscles with my tongue.

Teddy ran his fingers through my hair and cupped one of my ass cheeks with his big, strong hand as I dry humped his leg unable to stop myself from taking my pleasure how ever I could get it. Eventually, I licked my way back up his rain-tasting flesh to steal another kiss. I lost myself to his tongue plunging into my mouth and twirling and swirling around my own as I rubbed myself all over him. Only as I finally lost control and came did I remember all of my clothes were in the room I’d booked and not over here. I rested my forehead against Teddy’s chest and tried to convince myself I didn’t care. It wasn’t like I couldn’t shift and wander down the hall. Who was going to sniff me to see if I orgasmed anyway? Mori? The bird at the front desk?

“Feel better?” Teddy asked, hand still cupping my ass.

“Yes,” I said and flashed him a sheepish smile. “Actually, I do.”
