Page 29 of The Dragon's Surprise
Leaning down, Kyle nuzzled her cheek. “Let me warm you up with my mouth, Lexi. Say yes.”
“Yes.”
He took her earlobe between his teeth and tugged gently, sending wetness between her thighs. Impatient now, she widened her legs and scooted to the edge of the counter.
Kyle chuckled, kissed her nose, and stood back. “I won’t tease you this time, as I’m proving a point. But next time, well, I may keep you teetering for a long time before I let you fall.”
Before she could ask what that meant, he ran his hands up and down her thighs, his skin warm and slightly rough, and she braced her hands behind her. He kneeled, and she noticed his hair was tied atop his head again. On impulse, she removed the tie, and his long hair danced around his shoulders. Not all men could pull off shoulder-length hair, but Kyle was so damn sexy, and she ran her fingers through it.
His hands never ceased stroking her skin as he murmured, “Getting ready to tug my hair and hold me close, love?”
She smiled. “Maybe. I was just thinking you look like a warrior of old with your hair down.”
Taking her hand, he brought it to his mouth and kissed her palm. The fleeting touch made her stomach flip. “I’m yours to command, Lexi.”
He looked at her expectantly, and she knew he wouldn’t do anything unless she voiced her desires. Pushing aside her initial embarrassment, she whispered, “Then show me what it’s supposed to be like.”
It was vague, and a little bit cowardly, but Kyle didn’t push. He placed his hand on her inner thighs, spread her wider, and leaned down to blow through her center. She sucked in a breath, the caress of air like a touch, making her skin even hotter.
Then his tongue was licking her pussy, each hot stroke making her moan. When he lightly thrust and retreated, she leaned even more heavily on her hands behind her.
True to his word, he didn’t just lap at her, but devoured her. Each lick and thrust and groan he made only turned her on more. She never looked away from his determined gaze, his flashing dragon eyes making it more intense.
Never leaving her gaze, he licked up to her clit. The first flick made her jump, but he held her hips in place and strummed, until he found just the right rhythm, and she threaded the fingers of one hand through his hair and pulled him closer.
He chuckled, the vibration making her suck in a breath.
With a growl, he thrust a finger into her pussy as he continued to tease her clit, and Lexi felt the building pressure. Except unlike with her toys, this felt more intense.
Then he suckled her, and her orgasm hit, pleasure surging through her, wave after wave, so intense she cried out. Kyle never let up, drawing it out as long as he could, until she slumped, grateful for her hands on the counter to support her.
He finally released her clit and gave her entrance a leisurely lap. At his groan, Lexi opened her eyes. A mixture of pride and male smugness was written all over Kyle’s face. “You’re going to be cocky forever, aren’t you?”
He stood, he wiped his mouth, and pulled her close. “Maybe, but I don’t think you’ll mind. I’ll only be this smug again when you come and cry my name. That’ll be my next challenge.” After nuzzling her cheek, he added, “You fell apart easily enough for me, love, proving that the other males were fools.”
She smiled, hooking her hands behind his neck and whispering, “I don’t mind admitting I’m wrong this time. I’m glad, actually.” She laid her head against his chest, his heart thudding under her ear, proving he wasn’t as calm as he outwardly appeared.
“You’ll learn soon enough that when it comes to a dragon-shifter and their mate, they will do anything it takes to make them happy, Lexi. And orgasming is just the beginning.”
She wanted to argue, and yet, she’d seen Ashley Swift and her dragon mate together before, when visiting Clan PineRock for her job. Wes had always had Ashley’s back, and yet did little things like remind her to eat or that she wanted to take their son to the playground. Not to mention he’d always gazed at his mate as if she were the most precious thing in the world.
She hadn’t remembered about that for a long time. Probably because she’d been jealous and knew it’d been stupid.
But now, snuggling against Kyle’s chest as his hands stroked her back, a sense of rightness fell over Lexi. Not just because he had a talented mouth, but simply cuddling in the kitchen, with the dinner he’d made specifically to please her still on the table, she wondered what she’d been doing up until this point. Apart from her family, no one had tried to make her happy, to put her needs first.
Yet despite their short acquaintance, Kyle had done more for her than any boyfriend in the past.
She should raise her head, thank him, and finish the dinner he’d made.
And yet, the more he stroked her back, the heavier her eyes grew, until she fell asleep in his arms.
Chapter Nine
The next morning, Kyle stood in the doorway of his guest room, watching Lexi as she slept. He’d fully expected her to wake up as he’d carried her from the kitchen the night before. However, even in sleep, she’d merely snuggled more against him and sighed.
At the sight of her slightly disheveled, trusting him enough to watch over her, something had shifted inside him.
He wanted her as his mate.
