The Dragon's Choice (Tahoe Dragon Mates 1)

His fingers started pinching, swiping and rubbing her clit. Within seconds she moaned, "I'm going to come."

"Then come, love. I'm here to hold you up as you do."

She let go, embracing the blinding pleasure, barely noting how Jose swallowed her cries with his mouth.

Between the attention of his tongue and his dick, she lingered in that plane of pleasure so close to pain for longer than she thought was possible.

And then he stilled, shouting into her mouth, and she could feel him coming, another orgasm washing over her.

Her entire body spasmed, the pleasure nearly too much for her to bear, making her cry out.

Just when she thought she'd break, bliss flooded her body and she slowly came down from the brink.

Jose placed gentle kisses on her lips, taking his time to savor her, as if it were the first and only time he'd have her.

When he finally pulled away, he moved to her ear and asked, "Ready to go again? My dragon wants another turn."

Even though she'd be beyond sore, and she was already overwhelmed with all the orgasms, she knew this was important to him, to both man and dragon.

And besides, Victoria was afraid that if she said no, she might wake up from her delicious dream and be faced with reality again.

So she held onto him tighter and murmured, "Can he top that?"

Jose's voice dropped a fraction, to the tone she'd come to recognize as his inner beast. "This time, I won't hold back. You're mine, human. Mine."

And he somehow proved to be correct, the first of many, many attempts throughout the night and days to come, both sides of her dragonman forever trying to outdo the other.

Chapter Six

Jose woke up nearly two weeks later with the faint sunshine shining through the window and was careful to hold his female close but not too hard. Not only did she need her rest, but he also didn't want to wake his dragon, who would then want more sex to try and impregnate her.

Not that Jose didn't enjoy every inch of his mate, but he looked forward to when he could talk with her for hours, or even when he could introduce her to his family.

Because, yes, he wanted his family to like her.

Putting his nose where her shoulder met her neck, he took a deep inhale. The familiar scent of vanilla and female filled his senses, but there was a different undercurrent today. When he realized what it was—it smelled faintly of him—he froze.

His dragon stirred sleepily inside his mind. Yes. She finally carries our young.

Jose took a second to process it all.

Of course he knew the frenzy would only end when Victoria became pregnant, but it had been a dream—an end goal that was never quite in sight.

However, when his dragon dropped his head and went back to sleep inside his mind, it truly told him that it was done.

Jose would be a father in about nine months' time.

He pulled his female a little closer, closed his eyes, and smiled.

When he'd begrudgingly agreed to participate in the lottery, he'd known in the end he'd have a child and then be forced to raise it either alone or having his parents' help. He hadn't expected the human female to want him, let alone tempt him.

But now, with the female of his dreams asleep against him, he imagined being with her, raising their child, and building the future he'd never really thought he'd ever have.

And fuck, he wanted all of it. Even the late-night feedings, the diaper changes, the barely having enough energy to shower before falling asleep. Because he'd do it all with Victoria at his side. Not only because raising a child with his human was the dream he’d never knew he wanted, but the child would be pieces of her and him together, not to mention a visual reminder of how they were true mates.

His inner beast mumbled, Maybe. But you still have to convince her to stay on PineRock.

Jose frowned. That was another thing he hadn't really considered before, when it'd been some faceless female he'd have to fuck.
