The Dragon Warrior (Lochguard Highland Dragons 4)

“Well, if you’re using my whole name…” She felt a light slap on her arse and she squeaked. “What was that for?”

“Sometimes, you talk too much. Since I can’t kiss you just yet, I have to find other ways to catch your attention.”

“I really should push you away and storm out.”

“Aye, and why aren’t you?”

She hated the male smugness in his tone.

Her dragon said, Be honest. It will make things more fun later on.

Taking a deep breath, she answered before she could change her mind, “I kind of liked it.”

He lightly patted her bum and she wished he’d hold on. She might not be able to have all of Grant just yet, but she wanted all she could get. He said, “Just wait until you’re naked and in front of me. This arse will make a nice cushion.”

Heat flushed her cheeks at the image of Grant taking her from behind. He might even lightly tug her hair as he did so. “Grant.”

“The invincible Faye MacKenzie is embarrassed? I never expected to see the day.”

She turned her head to meet his gaze. The desire in his eyes sent a jolt of electricity through her body. “I’m not embarrassed about sex. It’s just…different. For so long, I thought I couldn’t have you. And now I can, but I

still have to wait.”

His voice was low as he replied, “Sometimes waiting makes the end result that much more enjoyable.”

She searched his eyes. “Someone is being deep today. Are you sure the explosion didn’t do something to your brain?”

He wrapped one arm around her waist and placed the hand of his other on her cheek. “My brains, both in my head and in my cock, are just fine. It did help me realize that the only way to woo a MacKenzie was to be more open in all areas.”

Faye couldn’t resist asking, “Who else were you thinking of wooing? Fraser might be flattered.”

“Blasted female,” Grant muttered.

She grinned. “Well, you did bring it on yourself.”

Rather than reply, Grant’s hand traveled from her waist to her arse cheek. As he massaged one cheek, words fled her head as her heart thudded harder. Grant’s voice was husky as he said, “What? You’re speechless?’

She just managed to formulate a reply in her head when his hand moved further south. When his fingers made contact with her sensitive bundle of nerves, even through the fabric of her trousers, she gasped.

“Aye, I like that sound. I think we need to hear more of it, much more.”

As he continued to rub, Faye laid her forehead on his chest. The warmth of his skin combined with his scent and the devilish movements of his fingers made it hard to concentrate. She was so close.

Her beast spoke up. Let it happen.

I wanted our first time to be completely naked.

Grant increased the rhythm of his fingers, and Faye lost the battle. Pleasure coursed through her body as she moaned into Grant’s chest.

Once her body stopped spasming, she melted into his chest. Grant’s chuckle rumbled under her ear before he said, “I think I’ve found one way to win with you. Your banter is no match for my fingers.”

She propped her chin on his pec. “Only because of your injuries am I not giving you payback.”

His pupils flashed. “If it involves your hand or mouth, then you can do as much payback as you like. I can lay still.”

Well, well, it seemed Grant had a cheeky side. “Seeing as you’re injured, you’ll just have to wait and see.” Grant growled and she smiled. “Actually, consider this your payback.” She slowly sat up and tugged off her top. She wasn’t wearing a bra and Grant’s eyes zeroed in on her breasts.

Aware anyone could walk in soon, Faye didn’t hesitate to pinch her nipples and roll them. Grant’s eyes never wavered from her actions. And even though pleasure pulsed with each motion of her fingers, Grant’s gaze made the feeling almost unbearable. Her breasts ached to have Grant touch her.
