“I could look at you until the world crumbles to dust,” I whispered, approaching her slowly, one foot in front of the other.
Predator to her prey as she backed away, matching me evenly.
“I could be looked at by you until our time together is up, and for a thousand years after that.”
Anna’s chest was rising and falling, her breasts swaying just enough to be a distraction. My eyes drifted downward. Something about that movement, about the thundering of her pulse, so loud to my ears. Something was calling to me.
My fangs slid out without warning, but I forced them back. It was too soon. I needed more time—more time to appreciate her, to make sure she was ready as well. We could only ever claim each other once. I needed it to be perfect. She deserved it.
“Anna,” I growled through them, taking a bigger step forward. My cock bobbed, straining toward her and aching to be buried at last in my mate as I claimed her. Made her mine for eternity.
And became hers. I smiled at the thought, at knowing every other she-dragon in the kingdom would know I was mated. They would know who I belonged to. I longed for that. I longed to behers.
“Come to me, my Caz,” she begged. She wasn’t backing away any more, her feet together with one knee bent slightly, her perfect body still and waiting.
I wrapped my arms around her, lifting like she was crafted from the frailest of glass as I took her to the bed and laid her back into the covers, staring in wonder at the woman I was going to claim.
My mate marks across her chest glittered and seemed to glow as I settled between her knees, like they were responding to my touch.
Taking her foot in my hand, I kissed up her leg, slow and precise, each touch of my lips a memento, a memory of the things we had sharedand would share. I repeated the process on the other side until I pressed her knees apart, baring her pussy to me.
Wetness dripped from her already, and I dove in, eager to lap it up. Anna hissed and threaded her fingers through my hair, nails scraping my scalp deliciously as I laved kisses all around her clit until she was thrusting her hips at me, gasping and desperate.
I pushed a finger inside her, and then, sucking gently on her clit, added a second. Her body tensed, and I growled approvingly as her moans rose to a fresh crescendo, marked by her spine arching up and away from the bed. She was simply the most perfect thing I had ever been lucky enough to experience.
Not just her body either, though it had me leaking precum from the tip of my cock despite her not even touching me yet. It was more than physical with Anna. Certainly that played a part, but the indescribableperfectionthat was her entire being and the way it fit with me was what I longed for. What I lived for now.
“Caz!” she cried out suddenly, her hips bucking and twisting as I pleasured her, driving her to the breaking point and beyond.
She moaned and gasped. I didn’t stop. I never wanted to stop watching her come. My tongue continued to circle and brush her clit, swift and light, and in moments, Anna came once more,her body going stiff as a board before slumping loosely into the bed, the thick covers twisted wildly in her hands.
I stood, looking down at her, her wetness dripping from my chin, and grinned wildly, unashamedly. “You look amazing.”
She giggled.
I nearly broke with happiness.
“I love you.” The words hung there, falling from my mouth without me thinking or having any idea of where to go next. I stood there, frozen, unsure of what to do.
“Good.”
Anna got to her feet. I ran my forearm across my mouth before she kissed me, taking her time and digging her nails into my chest.
“Good?” I finally managed to say when her mouth moved to my jaw and then down my neck. “Good?”
“Yes,” she murmured, licking the furiously pumping vein as it ran from my collarbone to my jaw, which caused my cock to jerk and swell further. “It’s a very good thing. If you didn’t love me, I would want to know why we’re about to claim one another.”
“I …” I took her by the shoulders and pushed her away to look in her eyes. They twinkled wickedly. “You’re fucking with me.”
She grinned. “Iamfucking with you.”
Moving faster than I was ready for, she stepped closer, hooked a leg behind my ankle and pushed me down to the bed, falling with me. “Now I’m going to fuck you and claim you.”
She straddled me, her body displayed gloriously as I stared up, completely at her mercy. Reaching between us, her eyes blown open, she grabbed my cock and guided it to her opening. Groaning loudly, she settled down upon me until I was fully ensheathed within her walls, buried to the base, her juices already flowing to soak my groin.
Rocking forward slightly, she bent over me, tracing the violet lines crisscrossing my pecs and swooping around to my scarred back. Her fingers brushed them lightly. Then she squeezed her pussy tightly around my cock.
“Fuck,” I moaned, trying to hold back from thrusting up into her and taking control. “You feel so good.”
