The Dragon's Bidder (Tahoe Dragon Mates 3)

She searched his eyes for about thirty seconds before replying, "Maybe it's crazy to say this, but I think I'd like being your mate, Wes. However, there's a lot to do before that can happen."

His beast roared in excitement. Wes cupped Ashley's cheek and said, "I know there is. But I want to make doubly sure about this, Ash. Because dragons grow extremely attached to their mates, as you well know. And I won't be able to just change my mind in a few hours if you get cold feet."

Fire flashed in her eyes and relieved his uneasiness a fraction. "I've known you for years. Hell, I ended my engagement because I realized it would be wrong to marry anyone else when I was still constantly dreaming of you. So instead, I just resigned myself to a life of wanting someone I could never have." She gripped his shirt and tugged gently. "So if I say I want you, I mean it. All I need is your promise that we do two things—one, find a way for me to still help dragonkind and two, you keep your alpha possessiveness in front of others mostly in check until we do."

Tell her yes. Hurry, hurry. Then we can at least taste her skin. Maybe even her pussy.

Stroking his thumb against her cheek, he answered, "I can agree to that." Wes leaned even closer. "And I think it's time to celebrate a little."

He heard Ashley's heart beat even faster. "I already know you're strong in more than just the physical sense since you've resisted me for so long. But what, er, kind of celebrations can you do without going over the edge?"

He took a second to nuzzle her cheek, both man and beast nearly groaning. Wes had dreamed of doing this, and so much more, for so long. And it looked like he was about to start making his dreams come true.

When Ashley's nails dug into his chest as a small moan escaped her lips, he smiled and answered, "I can't kiss you on the lips until we know for sure everything is safe and figured out, but let me show you just a fraction of how much I want you. Will you let me, Ash?"

Her lips brushed his jaw and Wes groaned. Her husky voice whispered into his ear, "As long as I get to show you, too."

Unable to hold back any longer, Wes leaned back and tore off her shirt. Ashley gasped but then arched her back, putting her beautiful breasts on display. Accepting the invitation, he leaned down and licked one taut bud and then the other.

When her nails dug into the back of his head and tried to move it downward, his cock turned to stone. She said, "Kiss me everywhere else you can, Wes. But hurry, because I want a turn, too."

For a split second, Wes thought he was dreaming. But then her nails dug in harder and reminded him that this was no dream.

Ashley Swift, his true mate, was naked except for her underwear, all but begging him to play with her nipples.

And hinting she wanted to suck his cock.

His dragon roared. Stop thinking and wondering. Just do it already.

With a growl, Wes took one of her firm nipples between his lips and suckled. Hard.

Ashley cried out, the scent of her arousal growing stronger.

Unable to resist, he ran a hand down her belly and cupped her pussy over her underwear.

Releasing her tit with a pop, he murmured, "I think there's another part of you aching, no, burning for my lips, my tongue, my teeth. Am I right?"

"Yes," she breathed.

He rubbed the palm of his hand against her clit, loving how she moved with him. His voice was husky as he said, "Say you want me to lick that pussy like there's no tomorrow, until you scream my name and explode on my tongue."

Some females might tense or grow cold at his dirty talk, but not his human. She reached a hand down, pushed his away, and then pulled aside the crotch of her panties. "Please, Wes. I've been wet for you for years. Touch me."

Not needing another reminder, he kneeled, tore off her underwear, and slowly pushed her back against the wall. Hitching one of her legs over his shoulder, his mouth watered at her dripping pussy.

He ran a finger through her center, his cock letting out a drop of precum at how wet she was. For him.

His beast grunted. Hurry and taste her, lick her. Let her know how much we want her.

Soon. But first, I'm going to torture her a little.

Wes lightly pushed his finger inside her, and Ashley arched her back as she blurted, "I wish it was your cock, Wes."

So it seemed his human was a little dirty when naked. She was too fucking perfect for him. "Soon, Ash. But not today."

She whimpered, and he nearly risked turning her around and taking her from behind.

But somehow, Wes restrained himself. Not until he made her orgasm from his tongue would he put his cock anywhere near her pussy.
