The Dragon's Choice (Tahoe Dragon Mates 1)

His cock let out a drop of moisture at her statement. He'd been the one to win the lottery, not Victoria.

He kissed her slowly, taking his time to explore her mouth and loving how she melted with each stroke. He finally pulled away. "As my female wishes."

With that, he pulled her out of bed and guided her toward the bathroom.

The end of the frenzy hadn't fully sunk in yet, but Victoria wanted to steal whatever time she had left with her dragonman in this cabin, away from everything else.

The aftermath would come crashing down soon enough—especially the part about her being pregnant and her having to live with a dragon clan for at least nine months.

But right here, right now, she wanted to spend a little time with her man without the frenzy demanding sex and more sex.

So she allowed Jose to lead her into the bathroom. She watched his broad shoulders and back as he turned on the shower, adjusting the temperature, and finally turning back toward her with heat in his eyes.

Even after all the hours and hours of sex they'd had, he still wanted her.

And that made her belly flip, in a good way.

She only hoped the feeling stuck around, especially once they got to know each other better. Would the sexy dragonman find her boring outside the bedroom?

No. She wouldn't allow doubts to invade the moment. Right now, it was just her and Jose, naked and ready to explore one another without some instinctual need driving their actions.

Jose closed the distance between them and ran a hand down her side, his slightly rough hand making her shiver. He murmured, "Do you want to explore first or should I?"

The deep huskiness of his voice boosted her confidence and she pushed back her shoulders, loving how his gaze darted to her breasts. She replied, "I'll go first. After all, you've tasted me and I have yet to do the same to you."

A mate-claim frenzy had been about sex, and more sex, but none of the oral variety. Apparently, Jose's inner dragon had really wanted only one thing—to get her pregnant. And sadly, a tongue and fingers wouldn't do the job.

Not that she would hold it against the beast. She rather liked his instinctual side at times.

Taking her hand, Jose moved to the shower. "Then hurry up. The sooner you're done, the sooner I can have my turn. One taste of your sweet honey wasn't nearly enough."

The promise in his words made wetness rush between her thighs. Yep, she still believed he had some sort of special dragon-shifter pheromone or magical ability to make her want him so damn much.

Once the hot water hit her body, Victoria let out a moan. She was only human, and therefore very, very sore. Turning this way and then that way, she took a few minutes to soothe every ache.

Jose growled. "You should be taking a bath and relaxing after the frenzy. You don't have to do this."

She turned toward him, touched by his concern. He'd tried his best to let her sleep when needed during the frenzy, but it seemed as if his caring would last beyond it, too. Which made her forget a little more about her aching body. "It's not a matter of having to do anything but wanting to do it." Running a hand down his chest, she murmured boldly—something she never would've done a few weeks ago, "I've been dreaming of taking your cock between my lips for days."

Jose grabbed his erection and stroked once. "You're too good to be true, love. I keep thinking I'll wake up from the best dream of my life."

There he went, saying sweet things again. Deep down, her growly dragonman was turning out to be so much more.

Victoria let her hand stray further down his abdomen until she met his fingers on his cock. "Now, let go and let me take control of this."

Her strong dragonman obeyed, and she smiled. Yes, she liked Jose dominating her for the most part in bed, but there was something about occasionally being in control, too, that simply felt right with her.

As her hand stroked up and then teased the tip of his shaft with her forefinger, Jose placed a hand on the tile wall and leaned against it for support. "I'm not going to last long if you keep that up, Tori."

"The dragonman who lasted at least two hours at one point is about to come this easily?" She tsked. "Maybe you're getting old."

His pupils flashed. "I'm tempted to show you how well this old man can handle you."

Since Jose was only in his early thirties, she resisted laughing.

However, she wasn't going to be distracted from what she'd wanted from the first day when Jose had gone down on her.

So Victoria kissed his chest, one of his nipples, and continued downward until she reached the trail of hair that led to her final destination.
