Surrendering to the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons 5)

/> Rafe had since started kissing her, devouring her mouth as if he was starving and she was the only thing that could sate his hunger. His ardor stoked her own fire and she dug her nails into his back as she met him stroke for stroke.

One of Rafe’s hands brushed between her legs and Nikki moaned into his mouth. She’d missed his firm, possessive touch.

Her dragon hummed. Me, too.

Gone were Rafe’s fingers; instead, his cock thrust into her. She cried out at how full and good he felt inside her. Rafe never ceased his attentions to her mouth, though. Raking her nails down his back, she gripped one of his arse cheeks. At the contact, Rafe moved his hips slowly, increasing with each motion.

He finally released her lips. Nikki never broke eye contact as he continued to roll his hips. Desire mixed with intensity, as if he were looking down deep into her very being, to both her human and dragon halves. Never had she thought a human would be so understanding of her dual personalities.

Running a hand down to her breast, he plucked her nipple a few times and all serious thoughts fled her mind as her body heated and grew even wetter.

When he stopped his attentions, she cried out and was about to demand why. But as his hands cupped her arse and lifted, his cock reached even deeper inside, and her protest faded from her lips. “Rafe.”

“You’re mine, Nikola Gray.” He pounded harder. “And I’ll use every tool I have to keep you.”

In any other moment, she would argue. But the pressure was building. She was too close to care about his alpha statements.

Gripping his forearms, Nikki moved in time to his thrusts. “I’m so close. Harder.”

Not missing a beat, Rafe moved faster, as if their lives depended on it.

Rafe leaned down and sucked one of her nipples into his mouth. He bit her lightly before twirling the sting with his tongue. If he would only do it again...

When he then bit her nipple harder, lights dance in front of Nikki’s eyes as her orgasm hit hard. Wave after wave of pleasure coursed through her body and Rafe’s movements only intensified the feeling.

Just as she started to come down from her high, he stilled and roared out Nikki’s name. His orgasm sent her spinning into a few more of her own.

When the last spasm wracked her body, Rafe collapsed on top of her. His heat, weight, and scent settled her mind. Somehow during the last few weeks, Rafe had become a rock in her life.

Wrapping her arms around him, she listened to his racing heartbeat. She only hoped she would be able to listen just like this for the rest of her days. Because she wanted much more than to keep their baby; Nikki wanted to keep her human.

The trick would be in finding out how to do it. Especially since it was becoming harder to ignore the growing feelings she had for him. Nikki was far beyond the mere fancies of a young woman. With enough time, she could easily love him.

But would she have the chance to reach that point, or would human laws tear them apart?

Not wanting to ruin the moment with doubts of the future, she nuzzled his shoulder and decided to lighten the mood. “You’re aware everyone in a half-mile radius probably heard you scream my name.”

A chuckle rumbled in his chest. “Good.”

Sighing, she hugged him tighter. “You act like such a male.”

He turned his head to meet her gaze and traced a finger down her cheek. “That’s because I am one.”

She laughed. “And as much as I may regret saying this later, I’m glad of it.”

His grin melted her heart further. Although the stubble on his cheeks reminded her of his constant vigilance and the fact Dr. Sid would be back soon.

“I see wheels turning in your head, Nikki. What are you thinking about?”

She frowned. “You know, I think you’ve become a little too attune to my body language now.”

“And that’s a problem, why? I thought women wanted men to better understand what’s on their minds.”

She couldn’t fight off her smile. “Sometimes. But a female needs to have some secrets.”

Rafe gave her a slow, gentle kiss before answering, “Good luck with that. Remember, I’ve spent most of my adult life finding out secrets.”

Rolling her eyes, she pushed against Rafe’s chest. “You might be good at it, but my hearing is better. I hear someone approaching the tent. So unless you want to be caught in the act, you should toss some clothes on.”
