Page 28 of The Dragon's Surprise
Just as she tried to bottle those memories back up, Kyle squeezed her hand again. “Tell me, Lexi. Please.”
Her gaze shot back to his, and at the kindness and patience there—mixed with his flashing pupils—gave her the courage to say, “I’ve never orgasmed with someone else, only by myself. And since I refuse to fake it, men take it badly.”
She glanced away again, afraid to see his reaction. Would he curse her for being his true mate? Would he find a way to get rid of her? She didn’t doubt that dragonmen had egos just as fragile—or more so—than human men.
If he’s scared away that easily, it’s on him. Stop being a coward. That’s not who you are.She finally met his gaze again, and Kyle’s eyes flashed so rapidly she sucked in a breath.
Before she could wonder what that meant, he growled, “You’ve been with the wrong fucking men, Lexi. And the fact they’ve hurt you with their words makes me want to find them and teach them a lesson.”
His fierce tone tugged at her temper. “You say that, but I’m nearly thirty and no man has ever made me come. It’s just something about me, and probably something you should know, if you want to try making this work.”
With a grunt, Kyle stood and put out a hand toward her, palm up. She frowned. “What? We’re not done with dinner.”
“This is more important. Let me prove to you the other males were idiots and didn’t know how to take care of their females.”
Her heart thudded as she pressed her legs together. Surely he didn’t mean…
Kyle added, “Yes, you’re going to strip for me and let me worship that pretty pussy of yours until you scream in pleasure.”
She’d heard of dragonmen being blunt about sex, but even so, his directness sent a shiver down her spine, in a good way.
And yet, she feared what would happen—or rather, wouldn’t happen—and wondered if she could make herself that vulnerable or not.
His tone softened as he said, “I’m not like the others, I promise you. I’m determined, and patient, and a dragon-shifter. That’ll make all the difference. Besides, I can tell you want it, Lexi. If you truly didn’t, I wouldn’t push. But let me be the first male to make you orgasm.”
Even with his flashing dragon pupils, truth and determination blazed in his eyes. She’d never been with a dragon-shifter, and maybe they really were different.
As she stared at the tall, handsome dragonman, she decided fuck it, she wasn’t about to pass up this chance. She might not have decided her future just yet, but for her, sex was an important part of a relationship, and it’d been one of the main reasons she’d ended things with boyfriends in the past. She’d just thought men, in general, didn’t care about her if they got off.
However, as she placed her hand in Kyle’s, approval and heat flared in his eyes. And for the first time in her life, Lexi felt as if she were the only woman in the world and that he might actually take care of her needs.
He helped her up. “The counter or the couch?”
She blinked. “What?”
“Do you want to spread your legs for me on the counter or on the couch?”
Considering Lexi’s experiences had all been in a bed, her cheeks heated. And yet, the idea of her sitting on the counter and Kyle always remembering her as he cooked sent a thread of possessiveness through her.
Before she could change her mind, she whispered, “The counter.”
He smiled slowly and tugged her to stand in front of a big, empty section. “Now, take off your pants. I’m tempted to slice them with my talons, but I don’t want you walking around the clan naked later, showing every male your beautiful body.”
For a second, she thought of asking him to turn around. However, she refused to be shy. If she was even considering a future with this dragonman—and she was—she meant to start as she would go on.
So she kicked off her shoes and slowly wiggled her jeans down, until she could take them off. She glanced at Kyle, and his pupils flashed even faster than before. His gaze met hers. “So beautiful. Hurry up so I can feel your skin against mine and taste your sweet honey for dessert.”
She was torn between rolling her eyes and sucking in a breath. “You’re direct.”
His lips twitched. “I have to hold my tongue at the clinic a lot, but I won’t ever do that with you again.”
“Considering what you’re about to do with it, I think not.”
He chuckled, and the sound made her smile. She could get used to making the serious dragon doctor laugh.
Kyle reached out a hand and traced her cheek with the back of his fingers. “Take off your underwear and let me show you just what my tongue can do.”
As the pounding between her thighs increased, she quickly stripped her panties and tossed them aside. Before she could askwhat was next, he placed his hands at her waist and lifted her to the counter. The cool quartz surface made her shiver.
