And somehow Ryan was Gaby's.
However, as he watched her clenched jaw and her flashing eyes, he couldn't run. For once in his life, a woman needed him—and only him—and he was going to be there for her.
He only hoped he survived the process intact.
So he walked toward her and said, "Bring it on, Gaby. I'm ready for your dragon."
Gaby was barely keeping her dragon from taking control of her mind and body.
Even now, her beast thrashed about inside her mind, shouting, Kiss him, fuck him, claim him. He is ours and we need to make sure everyone knows it.
He needs to make the decision. I won't force him.
Her inner beast roared. Fate made the decision. He's ours. Claim him before he runs away.
And that was when Gaby warned Ryan.
But instead of fleeing, he walked toward her and said, "Bring it on, Gaby. I'm ready for your dragon."
Her beast tried harder to take control. He wants us. Stop fighting it.
Somehow, she gritted out, "Are you sure? A frenzy is rough and foreign to humans."
He crouched down and touched her cheek. "Yes, I'm sure. Now, tell me what you need, Gaby."
Her dragon finally pushed Gaby to the back of her mind, taking control. Gaby's voice was slightly deeper, signaling it was her beast. "Strip and lay down. I want to fuck you, claim you, and make you mine."
In the next second, her dragon tumbled Ryan to the ground, extended her talons, and ripped off Ryan's clothes.
Gaby watched in horror, wishing her beast would let the human side take him the first time.
Not just his first time with her, but her first time ever with a male, too.
Please, dragon. You can come out again later.
No. You waited too long. I'm claiming our male. Now.
Gaby's dragon shredded their own clothes. Her beast didn't seem to notice how Ryan looked awestruck, as if he'd never seen anything so beautiful.
Oh, Ryan. What I wouldn't give to do this differently, Gaby thought to herself.
Her dragon was already straddling him, positioning his cock at their entrance.
The only good news? He was hard despite being faced with her sex-crazed beast.
He was definitely a strong human.
And yet, Ryan was supposed to be her human.
She tried again to push her inner dragon to the back of her mind, but her beast merely created an invisible barrier, trapping Gaby.
From experience, she knew that she wouldn't be able to get out until either her beast grew tired or let her out.
And that made her want to both punch someone and cry.
But as her dragon slammed down on Ryan's cock, uncaring about the twinge of pain at the sudden intrusion, Gaby stopped resisting.
Her dragon had taken her first time from her, and there wasn't anything she could do about it.
