Defender Dragon (Protection, Inc 2)

“You should be.”

Then Lucas pounced, tumbling her over on to her back. He kissed her breasts, his tongue licking at her nipples like a caress of flame, and then Journey was the one to moan. She moaned again when he reached down between her legs and touched her slick heat, rubbing at her sensitive folds and swollen clit, sending her to the brink of orgasm.

Then he raised himself over her. His face was flushed, his eyes bright as gold. She opened her legs to him, eager to have him inside her. He thrust himself into her, making her gasp with pleasure. His fingers were still on her clit as he thrust inside her, stimulating her everywhere. Journey moaned, then screamed, as out of control as Lucas had been a moment ago.

She felt the hot jet as he came inside her, and then her own climax transported her. For a timeless moment, she knew nothing but sheer ecstasy, bright as the sun. Then she slowly drifted back to reality, and found herself clasped tight in Lucas’s warm embrace.

I’m home, Journey thought. Wherever I travel, wherever we go, this will always be my home. Here, in Lucas’s arms.

His hair clung to his forehead, darkened with sweat. Journey’s was curling into damp ringlets. He lifted his hand and idly toyed with one, twisting it around his finger. For a while they kissed and stroked each other’s skin, enjoying the afterglow.

Then Lucas spoke. “Before I left, Hal was talking about expanding the operations of Protection, Inc.”

“Uh-huh...?” Journey said lazily. It seemed an odd subject to bring up immediately after making love.

“For international assignments.”

That caught her interest. “Oh!”

Lucas smiled. “I thought you’d like that. I was thinking that I could take those, and if it was possible for you to come with me, you could explore while I work. We might not be able to see each other often— or at all— while I’m on assignment. But once it’s done, we could stay for a while afterward.”

“That’s fine,” she assured him. “I’m used to traveling alone. I’ll just save the best areas for when you can join me.”

“That would suit me as well.” Lucas kissed her, then asked, “Would you ever wish to visit Lummox? I know you don’t like it. But you have family there. And you’ve already met mine...”

A few months ago, Journey would have recoiled in horror at the thought of returning to Lummox. Now, she said, “Yeah, you should meet my parents. And the rest of the town. It’ll be fun to introduce you to everyone who called me stupid and naïve and all that stuff.”

“Wear all your jewelry,” Lucas suggested, smiling.

“I will. And I’d love to go back to Brandusa some day. Though I don’t know if you would.”

“I think I’ll enjoy it more as a tourist.” Lucas touched her dragon pendant, then trailed his fingers upward to her lips. “I’ll fly you there on dragonback. In the summer, when we can taste the forbidden fruit.”

Thank you for reading my book! I hope you enjoyed it. I’ll write more stories about Protection, Inc., but I haven’t decided who should star in my next book. Can you help me figure it out? If you know whose story you’d like to see next, please leave a comment in an Amazon review, or else email me. Your votes last time helped me decide to have Lucas star in this book.

If you’d like to be emailed when I release my next book, please click here to be added to my mailing list. If you have any trouble getting on the mailing list or would just like to tell me something, please email me.

Please review Defender Dragon, even if you only write a line or two. I love hearing what my readers think.
