He was torn between ravaging her and taking his time. The two urges were killing him. He reached out and cupped her breasts in his hands, then skimmed his hand over her stomach toward her dark auburn curls. “Your skin is so flawless.”
“The beauty of being a dragon. The skin doesn’t take much damage.”
He smiled at that. Then dipped his head down to toy with her right breast.
Xyn hissed as tendrils of pleasure shot through her. He trailed kisses to her other breast. She moaned, marveling at the mixture of pleasure and desire he stoked.
He returned to her lips as his hands ran the length of her body, stroking and exploring everywhere they went. She craved his touch with a blinding need.
Honestly, she didn’t think anything could feel better until he ran his hand down her stomach and touched the center of her body. Xyn curled her fingers into his hair and arched her back against the intensity ofthatpleasure. Never had she felt anything like it as all the heat in her body pooled to the point where her legs met.
Suddenly, she felt Urian’s entire body stiffen as he pulled away from her with a curse.
“Did I do something wrong?”
His jaw slack, he stared at her in utter disbelief. “You’re a virgin?”
She blushed at his question. “I didn’t realize you’d be able to tell.”
He gaped even more. “Little bit, um, aye. You really weren’t going to tell me?”
“Why are you so angry?”
“I’m not angry.”
She gave him a mocking, pointed stare. “Really? Then what would you call that tone? Where I live, it’s not happy.”
“Confused.”
“Not even close.”
He snorted. “You’re being impossible. I’m upset that you’d hold back something so … so …”
“Personal?”
“Aye.”
“My business?”
He visibly cringed. “Now you’re making me feel bad.”
“Good. You should feel bad.” She tweaked the edge of his nose with her fingertip. “Actually, that’s not true, you should feel special that I want you.”
He took her hand in his and led it to his cheek and then his lips so that he could kiss her palm and then hold her hand against his heart so that he could stare into her eyes. “I’m just angry at myself. I wish I were as pure for you, Xyn. You deserve that.”
Those words touched her so deeply that for a moment she feared she might cry. Loving him more than she would have ever thought possible, she wrapped her legs around him and pulled him closer so that she could kiss him with everything she felt.
Growling, Urian rose up on his knees between her thighs. The expression on his face was one of utter desperation. “I’m sorry, Xyn. I can’t wait for you,” he whispered. “I want you too badly.”
She didn’t understand his words as her gaze ran down his muscled chest and lingered over the dark mark that covered his heart.
He kissed her, then gently entered her body.
Xyn cried out at the feeling of him deep and hard inside her as his muscled thighs pressed against hers. For a full minute, she couldn’t breathe. This was unlike anything she’d imagined. He was humongous! And it burned a lot more than she’d have ever thought.
“Are you all right?”
“Um-hmm.”
