Reawakening the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons 4)

Her dragonman had come home safe and sound.

Seeing Kai shift into a human had sent a rush of relief through her body. In that second, she knew her place was with Kai at Stonefire. Not just because of her feelings for her dragonman, but she could also do the most good for the British dragon-shifters by working with Bram, Evie, and Melanie.

Hell, Jane could do more than help Stonefire. She could probably improve the status quo for dragon-shifters the world over. No reporter had the access and resources Jane would have on Stonefire.

There was only one thing preventing her from telling Kai she’d stay forever.

While she was pretty confident Kai would repair relations with his mother and sister over time, Jane needed to give Kai the chance to choose his future. If he still wanted a chance with his true mate, Maggie, then Jane would let him go. After all, a dragon-shifter’s true mate was supposed to be their best chance at happiness.

Not that Jane liked that idea one bit. Digging her nails into Kai’s back, she fought the urge to scream, “Mine.”

For better or worse, Kai was rubbing off on her.

Before she spent too much more time thinking of her future, Kai opened the door to his cottage. Once they were through, he slammed it shut and dashed up the stairs. In the blink of an eye, Jane was facedown on his

bed.

“Kai, what are you—”

The dragonman tore off her top and trousers, tossing the scraps of fabric on the floor as he went. Before Jane could do more than blink, her bra and underwear were also shredded and tossed to the ground.

Jane found her voice. “Hey, that was my best bra.”

Kai tugged off one trainer and then the other before removing her socks. “You can get another one.”

“That’s not the point.”

Kai ran his warm, rough hands up the back of her thighs. “They are just things. You are important. Whatever you wear doesn’t matter.”

At the combination of his touch and his words, Jane softened a fraction. “That’s a start, but I need something else as way of an apology.”

Her dragonman rubbed her buttocks in slow circles. Without realizing it, she opened her thighs and Kai chuckled. “Your body tells me what I need to do.”

One hand stilled and slowly moved between her thighs. As he played with her slit, Jane couldn’t help but moan. “Someday, your magical fingers aren’t going to work on me.”

“Not if I have anything to say about it.”

He thrust his finger into her pussy and Jane wiggled her hips. His finger wasn’t nearly enough.

Yet Kai took his time removing and plunging into her heat. Clenching the sheets in her fingers, Jane gritted out, “I should be the one teasing you.”

Kai ran his other hand up to her lower back and pressed down. “Not until I’ve taken you from behind.”

She was about to protest when he removed his fingers and hand. In the next second, Kai lifted her hips and teased her opening with his cock. “Have you been on birth control long enough to go without a condom?”

“Yes. Just hurry up already.”

He rubbed through her wetness again. “Maybe I should make you beg.”

“Kai Sutherland, if you don’t—”

He thrust into her pussy and Jane rested her forehead on the bed. She had a feeling he’d keep interrupting her and surprising her until they were eighty.

Remaining still, Kai rubbed her back, her shoulders, and reached around for her breast. The contact brought her back to the present and she wiggled her hips. When Kai sucked in a breath, she smiled. “I’ve heard rumors about post-battle hard-ons. You’re not going to last long if I keep this up.” She moved her lower body again.

He hissed, “Bloody female,” and then pinched her nipple.

Jane arched her back at the pleasure mixed with pain. “Kai.”
