Craved by the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons 8)

With a growl, he lowered his body on top of hers, his delicious weight making it harder to think of anything but his lean, muscled body. "No one belongs in this room but you and me." He thrust against her and Brenna sucked in a breath. "Understood?"

If they were anywhere but in the bedroom, she would raise an eyebrow and tell him to watch his tone. However, the dominance in his voice made her wet and eager to see what else he could do. After all, she knew he had a talented tongue. Maybe he had even more talent with his cock.

Her dragon growled. Why do you play these games? Rip his clothes off, flip him over, and take him.

He has us pinned, remember.

Killian lightly nipped her neck. "Tell me what your dragon is saying."

As he soothed the slight sting with his tongue, Brenna tilted her head to the side to give him better access. "She just wants to hurry things along."

Killian squeezed her hands with his. "She can have a quick dragon fuck later. Right now, I want to make love to my female and treasure her how she will always be treasured, provided she wishes to stay with me."

"Killian," she murmured.

When she'd first met Killian, Brenna never would've imagined him saying those words to her.

He worried her earlobe a second, chasing away her thoughts. Releasing her tender skin, he spoke again. "It's true. Very few females would stand by a male who regularly blacked out and was teetering on the edge of insanity." He moved to look her in the eyes again. "You did all that and never lost faith in me. Even when you fought what was between us, you did everything you could to help me."

"Any honorable person would do the same."

"There's no need for modesty, even if that's one of the many things I love about you."

Brenna stopped breathing. "What?”

He released one of her hands to caress her cheek. "I love you, Brenna Rossi. Not just because you're intelligent and beautiful, but I might not be here if it weren't for your faith in me. Add in your humor and acceptance of both my dragons, and I'd be a fool not to love you."

Searching his eyes, Brenna didn't hesitate to answer, "I love you, too."

With a growl, Killian moved his face closer but never took her lips. "Don't feel pressured to say it back. I know I'm probably only going to be more trouble in the future. But in case something happens to me, I wanted to ensure you knew what I felt because you mean everything to me."

At the vulnerability in his eyes, she decided that she needed to make him understand she wasn't placating him for the sake of it. She loved Killian O'Shea and couldn't imagine her life without him.

Taking his chin between her fingers, Brenna leaned up a fraction. "I'm not saying it because of pressure, you fool. And nothing is going to happen to you, if I can help it. You're my male and I expect for us to have a long, eventful future ahead of us."

Not wanting to give Killian a chance to make up more excuses, she kissed him.

~~~

As Brenna kissed him, Killian still couldn't believe she loved him back.

Black growled. Don't fight it. She is ours.

Yes, Blue added. And stop thinking. I like her kisses. But I'm curious for more.

Not wanting to think how Blue was probably at his randy teenager stage, Killian released Brenna's other hand and threaded his fingers through her hair. She parted her lips and he took his time licking, nibbling, and tasting the only female he wanted for the rest of his life.

But as she moved her lower body against cock, he hissed and broke the kiss. "For that, I'm tempted to tear off your clothes."

Amusement danced in her eyes and she tilted her head. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

Not wasting any time, he leaned back and quickly reduced her top and trousers to shreds. He left her bra and panties intact. Once he had her socks and shoes off, he lightly traced shapes on her stomach. "I hope that was fast enough for one of Stonefire's best Protectors."

"I hope not everything is that fast."

Leaning down, he kissed the top of her breast, just above her bra. "Not this time, love." Pulling down her bra cup, he blew against her skin. "I want to make sure you realize how special you are."

To prevent her from arguing, Killian took her nipple into his mouth and suckled.
