Surrendering to the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons 5)

Rafe’s breath tickled her lips as he moved closer. Her dragon roared as the human’s scent filled her nose. Why are you waiting? Kiss him.

“I see that your dragon’s impatient again,” Rafe whispered. “There’s no reason to keep her waiting.”

Yet the blasted male merely tucked her hair behind her ear. The seconds ticked by. She was about to frown when he finally lowered his face and took her lips.

Electricity shot through her body as his firm lips moved against hers. She wasn’t sure if it was human or dragon that ran her hands up his chest to behind his neck. The warmth of his skin under her fingers caused Rafe to growl and nip her bottom lip. When he licked the sting, wetness rushed between her legs.

Gripping the back of his neck until her nails dug in, Nikki opened her mouth in invitation. Rafe didn’t hesitate and thrust his tongue inside her mouth. With each stroke of his tongue, she felt Rafe’s cock grow harder against her abdomen.

No matter what had happened between them all those years ago, Rafe clearly desired her.

Her beast chimed in. Of course. But I want more. Much more.

As if understanding her dragon’s demand, Rafe grabbed her arse and pulled her closer. Before she could stop herself, Nikki rubbed against his hard dick, which only made Rafe deepen the kiss.

Between his heat, taste, and touch, both dragon and woman wanted to feel his bare skin against hers. More than that, she wanted to feel his cock hard and long inside her.

Her dragon hummed. Yes, yes. He is ours. Ride him hard for as long as it takes.

At her dragon’s words, Nikki froze. No.

Before her beast could speak, Rafe searched her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Her dragon ordered, Kiss him again. And again. He’s ours. He will give us a child.

Using every bit of control she possessed, Nikki created an invisible wall for her beast. As her dragon clawed and roared, Nikki knew it wouldn’t last long. She only hoped it lasted long enough.

Pushing against Rafe’s chest, she said, “You need to leave. Now.”

He frowned. “What’s going on? Two seconds ago, you were rubbing against me.”

With her dragon clawing at her mind, Nikki knew it was only a matter of seconds, maybe a minute, until she lost control. “Unless you want to become a father, then leave me alone and fetch Kai.”

Rafe’s eyes widened. “Holy fuck.”

“Yes. Go. I can’t resist much longer.”

Rafe hesitated. “Will you be okay?”

“It doesn’t matter,” she gritted out. “You have five seconds before I knee you in the bollocks to deny my dragon for a bit. Five, four, three…”

Stepping away from Nikki, Rafe went to the door. “I…” His voice died out.

“Why the bloody hell are you still here? Just go.”

With one last glance, Rafe exited the room and shut the door.

Clutching her head in her hands, Nikki sank to the floor just as her dragon broke free of the mental prison. Why did you let him go? He’s ours. We need to find him and fuck him.

Shut it, dragon. Not going to happen.

Then I will take over. You’ll miss all of the hot, sweaty sex. I will claim him on my own.

Hoping to block out her dragon, Nikki hummed a random pop tune. Of course, it did nothing to ease her beast’s incessant roaring.

It took every bit of strength she had, but Nikki managed to fight off her beast from taking control until Kai finally burst into the room. “Nikki?”

Raising her head, she met the head Protector’s eyes. The instant she saw worry in his gaze, tears filled her eyes. “I’m sorry, Kai. I was weak and kissed him. I never should’ve kissed a human.”
