When he sealed his lips around my clit and sucked, I made a mewling sound I’d never heard come out of my mouth before. My hand found the back of his head and held him there.
The tension coiled tight, building fast, and my hips rocked against his mouth, chasing it.
But I didn’t want to fall without him.
“Wait.” I tugged at his hair, and he stopped immediately, his head lifting. His mouth was wet, his chest heaving, and his eyes completely purple. “I need you inside me. Please.”
The bond between us surged with a pulse of heat that I felt all the way into my bones. He crawled up my body and kissed me, deep and filthy, and I tasted myself on his tongue.
His hand slid between us, his fingers finding how ready I was. “Is this all for me?”
I nodded and shifted beneath him, wrapping one leg around his hip, angling myself until I felt him at my entrance. “Claim me, Lucan.”
The last wall he’d been keeping between the man and his dragon crumbled. He pushed into me in a thrust that stole every thought from my head.
He stilled, giving me a moment to adjust, his arms shaking. I rolled my hips against him, and his jaw clenched.
“Please.” I squirmed beneath him, not needing time.
He didn’t hesitate. With one powerful thrust, he buried himself inside me, filling me completely. I gasped, my fingers digging into his shoulders as my body stretched to accommodate him.
“Move,” I whispered, desperate for friction.
His hips pulled back and slammed forward again, setting a rhythm that had me clawing at his back. The careful restraint he usually showed was gone, replaced by something primal and possessive. Each thrust was punctuated by his ragged breathing against my ear, his hands gripping my hips hard enough to leave marks.
“You feel amazing,” he growled, his voice deeper than I’d ever heard it. His mouth found mine in a kiss that was all teeth and tongue, stealing what little breath I had left.
I wrapped my legs around his waist, changing the angle until he hit that perfect spot inside me that made stars burst behind my eyelids. “Right there,” I gasped. “Don’t stop.”
His eyes locked on mine, and the connection between us pulsed with each thrust, something building that went beyond the physical sensation.
I was already so close to the edge.
My hands slid down his sweat-slicked back to grip his ass, urging him deeper, but it wasn’t deep enough. As if sensing what I needed, he pulled out and flipped me over. He pulled my hips up as I settled onto my forearms as he thrust back into me.
He reached around me, his fingers finding my clit. “Come for me, Liz. I need to feel you come around me.”
The pressure of his fingers combined with the relentless rhythm of his hips pushed me over the edge. I came with a cry that echoed off the cavern walls, my body clenching around him like a vise.
But he didn’t stop. If anything, he drove into me harder, prolonging my orgasm until I was trembling and incoherent beneath him.
“Mine,” he growled.
“Yours,” I managed, the word breaking apart on a moan.
The pace shifted, and the bond in my chest expanded and pulsed in time with every thrust. It was reaching for something,stretching toward a completion that I knew would change me forever.
Lucan’s breath was ragged against the back of my neck, his movements jerky as we both spiraled higher. His arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me up until my back was flush against his chest. The angle changed, and I shattered.
Another orgasm crashed through me, and with it, the bond detonated. That was the only word for it. Something in my chest cracked wide open, and what poured through wasn’t just pleasure.
It was him. All of him. His love, his fear, his fierce protectiveness, his joy. It flooded through me like sunlight hitting a dark room, and I cried out as tears streamed down my face.
Lucan followed a second later with a guttural sound that wasn’t entirely human, his body shuddering against mine. His release rolled through me in a wave of completeness.
We stayed like that for a long moment, both of us trembling, his arms locked around me. He finally pulled out, leaving me empty before lowering us to the blankets.
I rolled over and tucked myself against him as he pulled a blanket over us.
