I never knew so much could be said with a look, and Troy was saying a lot. His gaze mapped my body slowly, and even the way he put food in his mouth was like a prelude to what would come later.
“My body is so confused right now. What’s making me horny? The cow or you?” I asked, taking a bite of the butter-smooth steak.
Troy laughed. “No judgment here. This food is delicious, but you might want to hurry up.”
Message received.
The confidence I showed in the reception area with my confession all but abandoned me when we walked into the room and reality hit.
I was going to sleep with Troy. In the same bed. We were going to have sex.
Wait—were we? Or was I getting way ahead of myself?
“Lexi. About what you said earlier.” Troy swallowed, closing his eyes and leaning against the closed door. “I…um…you…are you…”
I pinned him to the door with my body, and even though I wasn’t quite as tall as him and a lot smaller, I still delighted in the shiver I saw run through him. “Totally inexperienced? No. I have blowjobs, hand jobs, and frotting in my repertoire, but like I said, I’ve never had penetrative sex.”
“Why?”
“Because I’ve never wanted anyone else to do it. I’ve never felt like I needed to be that close to someone else. And also, the palace is huge, but the walls have eyes and ears.” I shrugged. “It was never the right time.”
“And now?”
“Now, we can go to bed and sleep…or you can show me how powerful your dragon is.”
He laughed but helped me out of my coat, bent his knees, lifted me, turned around, and pressed me against the wall.
“Your dragon is so strong,” I joked until his mouth was on mine. I felt his erection through his jeans. A shiver ran up my spine, but there was no fear or anxiety over what we would be doing. It was one hundred percent anticipation.
“Please, Troy.”
“What do you want, baby?”
“Everything. Take me to bed.”
“Wish granted.”
I couldn’t tell where any of our clothes ended up, except that they weren’t on us.
Troy was big but gentle and controlled as he covered me with his body, mouth, and hands.
He explored every inch of my body until I was trembling with need.
“It’s as I thought. You blush all over and your beautiful freckles are like my own personal map of your body.”
“Please suck my dick, Troy.”

TROY
It had to be a dream.There was no way Alexi was here and wanted me with as much desperation as I wanted him.
I buried my face in his crotch and inhaled deep. “You smell so good.”
“Troy!”
With my eyes on his, I watched his reaction as I lowered his boxer shorts to release his cock. He trapped his lower lip between his teeth and moaned when I ran my tongue up his thick length.
