Spreading her legs wide, Honoria played with her pussy and then her clit. Asher watched every moment, his hand pumping faster.
Her dragon grunted. Tell him to stop or he'll only last a minute or two. I want longer, much longer. He needs to prove he can hold out.
Why? That isn't a clan leader requirement.
It is for me, if he's ever to be our mate.
Honoria tried to digest her dragon's words, but Asher was in front of her, gripping her hand and moving it away. She quickly added to her beast, We'll talk about that later.
Ash
er's deep voice rolled over her. "Stop talking with your bloody dragon and stay with me."
He rubbed the tip of his dick against her, and Honoria sucked in a breath. Somehow she had enough of her mind left to say, "Don't think you can order me about all the time, Asher King."
"You? Never." He placed the tip of his cock inside her. "Your dragon, on the other hand? I plan to test her boundaries all the bloody time."
Her dragon growled, but then Asher thrust into Honoria and moved his hips. To keep from falling backward, she held onto his arms, making sure to dig in her nails. "Just shut up and kiss me."
He snorted. "And now who's giving the orders?"
Pulling out slowly, Asher thrust back in hard as he took her lips with his, swallowing her reply. Maybe she should be a little angry, but as he moved and pulled her close, she forgot about everything but Asher's tongue battling hers, his cock claiming her core, and his hands roaming, caressing, and pulling her close.
Maybe a future with Asher wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.
Then his fingers found her clit, and any remaining shreds of thought vanished as he rubbed and pressed, playing her like an expert. Each pass sent her closer to the edge, making her moan with a few whimpers. Asher was inside her, around her, invading all of her senses. And when she finally crashed over the edge and wave after wave of pleasure flooded her body, she couldn't help but murmur his name into his mouth, instantly craving him all over again.
In a way she'd never craved another male before.
Asher stilled and held her closer as he broke the kiss and bit her neck. "Ria," he whispered, the tension draining from his body as he came.
Honoria laid her head on his shoulder and hugged him tightly. Asher's voice had been more than a response to his orgasm. His tone had been filled with awe, as well as need. It'd almost sounded like he'd been waiting for her all these years.
Which was ridiculous, of course. So she merely held him in her arms and tried not to think of how he'd been the male she'd once loved and could easily love again.
Chapter Six
Three days later, Asher looked down at Honoria's sleeping face and wondered how he ever thought he could be around her and not touch her.
His dragon spoke up. She wants us to touch her. That's all that matters.
He wanted to say it wasn't, but he and his beast had argued the last three days about how bad of an idea it'd be if they became a true couple, won the contest, and then something went wrong.
His beast huffed. You don't have enough faith. I don't want to give her up. I will fight for her. You should want to do it, too.
Honoria moved her head against the pillow and shifted the position of her arm. But after a few beats, Asher deemed her still asleep and he replied, The clan needs to come first right now.
Before his dragon could say anything, Asher's phone beeped with a message. He looked and read it: You and Honoria's next appointment is at 10:00 a.m. at the Protector building.
He mentally cursed. It was nearly nine o'clock now, which meant he had to wake Honoria. Yet as he stared at her face slack in sleep, her hair half covering it, he wanted to let her rest after keeping her up half the night.
His dragon snorted. More like she kept us up half the night.
Ignoring his beast, he gently tucked some of her long, blonde hair behind her ear and lightly traced her cheek. "Ria, wake up." When she didn't move, he used the trick he'd learned the first morning and tossed the covers back.
While it wasn't freezing, the air was cool enough to shock her, and she rolled onto her back. Glaring at him, she muttered, "You need to stop doing that."
It took everything he had to keep his eyes on her face and not on her delectable naked body. "We have to be at the Protector building in about an hour. Unless you want to show up unwashed and smelling of me, you need to hop into the shower."
