Cured by the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons 6)

She frowned. “Don’t criticize my clan. Remember, Stonefire is the one who put their necks out and pushed for change. If not for us, you wouldn’t be here, your leader wouldn’t have a mate, and you wouldn’t be able to sell your naked wood carvings to humans.”

“I don’t have any naked carvings,” he growled.

“Maybe I’ll ask Arabella to find out for sure.”

The amusement dancing in her eyes made him smile. “If you can tease me, you must not be doing that poorly.”

“I don’t know how much time I have left, so I’m trying to make the most of it.”

Leaning forward, he caressed her cheek. Cassidy’s breath hitched. He waited, giving her time to pull away.

When she didn’t, he dared to speak up again. “Then let me give you one last proper kiss. I don’t want you to remember me drugging you unconscious.” She hesitated, so he added, “There’s nothing on my lips if you’re worried. I cleaned them right after I got back. They are pure Gregor Innes.”

His dragon growled. Hurry up and kiss her.

No. This is her decision.

But she wants us. I can hear her heart racing.

Cassidy murmured, “Just one kiss,” before leaning forward to meet his lips.

Rationally, Sid knew she should push Gregor away and avoid any sort of contact. As it were, just holding his hand kept her grounded and calmer than she would’ve imagined she’d be. Hell, she’d been teasing the man about naked carvings. Given the enormity of what loomed, she should be focused on winning against her dragon.

Yet as he leaned close and asked for a kiss, she remembered the warmth of his skin and the sweet taste of his mouth. If she had just one more kiss, she could take her time to memorize every detail slowly so when he returned to Lochguard, Sid could bring up the memory and cling to it. Sid didn’t think she’d want any male after Gregor, so she needed to make a memory to last a lifetime.

Trying not to think of how much Gregor invaded her thoughts, she gave her answer and kissed the Scottish dragonman.

She’d barely reveled in the warmth of his lips before his hot tongue swept into her mouth. Wrapping an arm around his back, Sid leaned in and gasped at the contact of her breasts against his hard chest.

Gregor moved until he was on the bed and hauled her into his lap. His hard cock between her legs should’ve set off warning bells, but Sid didn’t

care. This was the last kiss she’d have with her Scot, and she was determined to make it good enough to sustain her forever, through all of the hard times ahead.

His large hands moved to her bum and rocked her against him. She gasped, and Gregor took the kiss deeper. The ache between her legs intensified and her nipples tingled. Every nerve ending was sensitive to even the slightest movement. No male had ever set her body on fire like this before.

All she wanted to do was to strip Gregor and ride him like in her dragon’s vision from earlier. She had no doubt his skill at kissing was just a glimpse of what he could do with his hands and mouth on her body.

Gregor released her lips and kissed down the side of her neck. Sid moaned as he nipped her skin. She was barely aware of him untying her hospital gown and slipping it off one shoulder to expose her breast. Arching her back in invitation, Gregor took her nipple and sucked hard.

Threading her fingers through his hair, she rubbed against his cock.

However, before she could suggest for him to strip, someone knocked at the door. The sound brought reality crashing back, and Gregor released her nipple.

Looking away from Gregor, Sid scrambled off his lap to the far side of the bed and pulled her gown back into place. She’d come far too close to making a horrible mistake. Gregor was strong, but he might not be able to resist the mate-claim frenzy once it started, especially once her dragon woke up and took control.

“Cassidy—” Gregor began, but Tristan MacLeod’s voice boomed from outside the door.

“Hurry up and answer the bloody door. My children are waiting for me at home.”

Chapter Ten

Gregor’s dragon snarled. Challenge the male and chase him away. Cassidy is ours. She wants us. We need to finish what we started.

Gregor clenched his fingers. No. She’s not ready and would resent us forever if we pushed her.

She doesn’t need much pushing. She was happy enough rubbing against our cock.
