When Finn’s grip eased and he caressed her head, Arabella swallowed, gave one last, long flick with her tongue and pulled away. Taking a deep breath for courage, she looked up to Finn’s face and sucked in a breath at the tender-yet-heated look in his eyes. “Stand up, lass.”
Without a word, Arabella stood and Finn drew her against his body. Laying his forehead against hers, he murmured, “That was bloody fantastic, Ara. While your mouth is hot and tight, I can’t wait until I can fuck your pussy with my cock and make you scream.”
Despite her best efforts, her dragon broke free and filled her mind with Finn taking them hard from behind, the side, and any which way before adding, I want all of that, and soon. I can’t hold back much longer.
Try. Two days isn’t enough time for me.
With a grunt, her beast stated, Just one more day, at best. Any more than that, and I will lose control.
Finn’s voice broke through her inner conversation. “Tell me what you’re thinking.”
Narrowing her eyes, she tried to pull away but Finn’s hold was like steel. “Don’t order me around.”
Grinning, he lightly brushed his fingers against her side. “It seems to be the only way I can get you away from your dragon. She’s become bloody chatty.”
Since talking about the progress with her dragon could bring back memories of why her beast had been silent so long, Arabella changed the subject. She wouldn’t let the damn hunters ruin this memory. “Before you start trying to charm my dragon, there’s something more important we need to do.”
His eyes flashed. “What, me licking between your thighs again?”
Slappi
ng his chest, she growled. “No. Focus, Finn. And not with your cock.”
He winked at her. “With you, I’m always thinking with my cock, Arabella. You’re sexy, clever, and stubborn. Not a second goes by that I don’t ache for you.”
Unable to tell if he was joking or being serious, Arabella decided to ignore his remark. “You might have forgotten your leader duties, but I haven’t. We have a gathering to attend.”
Sighing, he kissed her nose. “And here I thought I’d convinced you with my wondrous, magical cock to do whatever I wished. I guess I’ll have to keep trying.”
The corner of her mouth ticked up. “Someone is a little proud of themselves. I’m sure other males have wonderful cocks, too.”
He growled. “Don’t be thinking of other males’ cocks.”
She laughed. “If it keeps you on your toes and knocks down your ego a few notches, I may bring it up on a regular basis.”
Finn stared at her a second before his fingers fluttered against her sides and Arabella laughed. “Stop…it.”
Tickling her for another minute, she was out of breath when he finally stopped and hugged her tightly against his body. “Bring up other males’ dicks and I’ll do it again.”
She rolled her eyes. “How about you just shut up and kiss me before we head back?”
His hand caressed down her back until Finn gripped her arse possessively. “That I can do, love. That I can do.”
As Finn kissed her, he devoured her mouth, Arabella forgot all about her past with the hunters, her scars, or what Clan Lochguard would think of her when they saw her at the gathering. In this moment, she was being kissed by a male who could make her laugh one minute and heat her body in the next.
Woe betide any female who tried to flirt with him. Finlay Stewart was hers and she would make sure his clan knew it.
Chapter Two
Arabella was eyeing the purple dragon-shifter dress on her bed when someone pounded on her door. With a sigh, she yelled, “Finn, I told you to leave me alone. I’m trying to get ready and I don’t need your distractions.”
An amused female voice answered, “The twins are keeping him occupied. We thought you could use some help getting ready.”
Recognizing Aunt Lorna’s voice, Arabella strode to the door and opened it. “Sorry, Finn kept knocking every few minutes and I got rather tired of opening the door only to slam it shut again.”
Faye poked her head out from behind her mother. “I wished I’d been able to see that. The cocky bastard gets his way too often.”
Lorna scowled at her daughter. “Faye Louise, you do realize your cousin is clan leader?”
