I Like Big Dragons and I Cannot Lie (The I Like Big Dragons Series) (7 page)

Sinking down until I practically melted into the mattress, I finally allowed my mind to wander to where it wanted to be.

The t-shirt smelled like him.

I assumed he dropped it off while I was in the shower.

I also didn’t think he’d had anybody else do it, since I’d witnessed it myself when he’d told the head of staff to give the remaining workers the weekend off.

Therefore, it was either him, his sister, his mother or one of his two brothers, and I just felt that he wouldn’t allow anyone to intrude into my room with me in the shower.

That’s about when the shaking started.

My mind went into overdrive as I thought about how my life would change if what I read in that book—what was already happening—was actually true.

If
I was mated to him, then what?

Would I still be able to live in my apartment?

What about my cat?

My job?

Money?

Would I be allowed to do anything here?

In fact, I had myself in such a tizzy that I didn’t realize that there was someone in my room with me until a large hand came down on either side of my head.

“Deep breath,” Keifer instructed, his face so close to mine I could feel his breath.

I gasped, taking in a lung full of air, and looked into his brown gold eyes.

When had he turned on the light?

“What…what…wha
t’s going on?” I gasped
for air.

“You’re freezing. You need to think about something else,” he decided.

I closed my eyes, and started thinking about the way his body heat made me feel.

The way it had felt when he’d stood at my back earlier.

The way my sex had clenched in anticipation.

The way he smelled like fresh air and clean man. The way I was surrounded by his scent.

My eyes opened on a gasp, and I knew he knew what I was thinking.

Because my panties were on fire. Literally.

Again.

“Gah!” I squeaked, kicking the covers off my body in agitation.

He didn’t move, though.

Only watched as my panties, yet again, disintegrated from my body.

My hands went down to cover my hairless sex, but not fast enough for him not to see.

His eyes were zeroed in on my hands.

It was almost as if he was willing them to move with the power of his mind alone.

“Why does this keep happening?” I gasped.

He grinned, and then maneuvered himself until he was lying beside me in the bed.

“Close your eyes and think about the light turning off,” he instructed me.

I did as I was told, thinking about how, if I were to use my hands and I wanted the light out, that I’d twist the tiny knob with my two fingers.

The
click
of the lamp had me opening my eyes to pitch blackness.

“Holy shit,” I breathed.

“When I was twenty-one and first came into my powers, I was masturbating in the shower,” he said without preamble.

I blinked into the darkness.

“W-what?” I gasped in surprise.

I felt him nod as he turned to his side, and let his hand rest on the crest of my hip.

“Yep,” he nodded. “Coming into your powers is usually accompanied by a sexual act.”

I blinked. “I wasn’t doing anything sexual when I got yours.”

“No,” he agreed. “At least, not that you’re aware of. But the act of mating is sexual, which is what is inevitably going to happen between us.”

I bit my lip as he started to run his fingers over my hip.

“Aren’t you worried that you’re going to accidentally catch on fire?” I whispered worriedly.

He snorted. “I may not have my powers, but I can still feel them there. You’re channeling them through me,” he explained. “And I can’t be hurt by my own powers.”

Which explained why he wasn’t worried about me setting fire to anything important that was attached to him.

“What…” I stopped when I felt his hand go lower down my stomach, coming to a rest at the top of my pubic bone.

He didn’t move it any further, but I sensed that he wanted to.

I respected that he didn’t, though. And respected it even more when he curled his big body into my side and sighed, “Go to sleep. We have all day tomorrow to talk.”

I nodded, closing my eyes, and took his advice.

Tomorrow would be soon enough.

Keifer

My cock was in heaven.

Literally.

I’d never felt anything so good in my life.

I’d had plenty of women since I’d turned sixteen, but holy shit, this was an all-new high.

I took stock of my surroundings without opening my eyes.

My bed smelled like peaches and cream.

My eyes slowly peeled open, and I was left with an eye full of hot, juicy pussy belonging to the woman that I knew in my heart was my mate, Blythe.

And that thing she was doing with her mouth was phenomenal.

She was working my cock with hot, wet pulls of her mouth, and I couldn’t help but lift my hand to run along the inside of her thigh.

I started down low next to her knee, and slowly moved my hand up until it rested at the apex of her thigh. One long finger lay against the seam of her sex, not quite touching, but oh so close that she started to writhe her hips to coax me further.

I obliged.

Moving my other hand to span her waist, I urged her over until she was straddling my chest with her knees.

Her pussy was in the perfect position for me to take a lick of her juicy lips, and I buried my face into her sex.

My eyes rolled back in my head as I got my first taste.

Sweet. Oh, so sweet.

I growled low in my throat, as I plunged my stiffened tongue deep into her cunt.

I was buried inside of her from chin to nose as I slowly started to fuck her with my tongue.

She ground down onto my face, gyrating her hips as she worked her swollen clit down onto my chin.

The prickly hair of my beard rasped along her inner thighs as she started to move faster and faster.

My hands came up to spread her ass cheeks apart, widening the lips of her sex with two thumbs, allowing me to bury my face even deeper.

Tilting her hips, I found her clit with my tongue and slowly sucked it inside of my mouth, pulling hard as I coaxed her orgasm to the surface.

While I was doing that, my left hand moved to her opening, and I plunged one thumb inside of her.

She screamed around my cock, inadvertently swallowing me even deeper inside her enchantingly beautiful mouth. Long, loud, and drawn out.

The vibrations around my cock had the come in my balls boiling as it rapidly started to rise to the surface.

Within moments, I was on the verge of coming, causing me to work her harder. Faster.

We came together.

Her pussy clamped down on my thumb as her tiny bud tightened. Juices poured from her sweet pussy into my waiting mouth, and she moaned.

The vibration, once again, did me in.

I came, pouring my come into her throat.

She swallowed convulsively around my cock, sucking hard until the last precious drop was pulled from my dick. Then she slid off my cock, releasing the tip with a soft pop, and slowly rolled to her side to fall haphazardly onto the pillow lying next to her.

I licked my lips, tasting her essence on my tongue, and didn’t say a word.

What the hell had just happened?

I’d never had an orgasm that had taken my wits like that before.

My brains were mush, and an odd tingling was starting at the base of my cock, almost as if a second release waited in the wings.

“What…how…Jesus Christ that was amazing,” I finally managed to say.

I looked over at her to see her eyes glazed, and her face looking sheepish.

“I didn’t…uhhh…mean to.”

I laughed. “That’s okay, honey. You cannot mean to do that to me all day long. My body is yours for the taking.”

She smiled. “I woke up, and my mouth was already around your cock, but I wasn’t able to pull away. I…you…I just couldn’t.”

I nodded, my eyes closing.

My cock, however, was still just as hard as it had been when I’d woken up.

Not one iota smaller.

If anything, it was harder than it had been before.

It was pulsing with the beat of my heart, and the fact that I could still taste her on my lips wasn’t helping anything either.

“I think…I think I’m still really horny,” she admitted, closing her legs to rub them against the other.

The friction must’ve been what she was looking for, because she started to moan as her hand slipped down to her beautiful pussy.

I fisted my cock, working the beast in long, slow pulls as I watched her pleasure herself.

Licking my lips, and relishing in the taste of her, I worked myself to another orgasm before I was even aware of it.

Once again, we came at the same time, and I was left with my head pounding.

“There’s something wrong with me,” she gasped. “Jesus, I didn’t think the book was true. I thought I’d wake up, and it’d all be a dream.”

I understood her sentiments, but felt the magical strings tying us together. I may not have had much experience with a mate, but I was beginning to recognize her as a part of me.

I didn’t realize just how much my cock would want her.

And if I understood right, it could only get worse from here.

“Blythe,” I pushed up until I was on an elbow beside her.

“Yes?” she rose up on her own elbow, incidentally placing her heaving chest excruciatingly close to my mouth.

I licked my lips, and was about to tell her that I wanted to fuck her brains out when all the alarms throughout the entire manor started shrieking, and Declan was suddenly in my head.

Intruders.

One word. One single, terrifying word, and I knew this wouldn’t be a good day.

Meet me outside.

Looking over at my mate, who wasn’t quite my mate yet, I said the only thing I could think of.

“I need you to go to the panic room. It’s at the end of the bedroom wing. I’ll have Nikolai watch for you to join my sister and mom there. You’ll be safe,” I told her urgently, helping her up and yanking her t-shirt down.

She looked alarmed. “But…what about you?”

I smiled. “Don’t worry about me. I was born for this.”

They say unconditional love exists. It does…but only with dragons. Men are shitheads.

-Blythe’s secret thoughts

Blythe

“Does this happen often?” I asked Keifer’s mother and sister.

I’d only met the sister, Skylar, as Nikolai shoved her into the room with us, and then sealed the opening off with a wave of his hand.

Much the same as I’d been ordered to do by Keifer.

My mind started to wander as I thought about him being out there without his powers. Defenseless.

He’s hardly defenseless, dear heart
, the dragon’s smooth voice slithered through my subconscious.

I took a deep breath and said,
take care of him.

“Do we go into lockdown and get shoved into holes?” Skylar clarified, raising her eyebrow at me in question.

At my nod, she shook her head. “No. This isn’t normal. Well…I take that back. It’s normal lately. But not here. Our havens all over the country have been coming under attack, but no one can figure out just how they’re being found. Not that I know what happened this time, but something major had to have happened if we’re in the safe room. Keifer’s not one to overreact.”

Her admission didn’t make my stomach stop rolling.

But with nothing else to do, I let my mouth speak. Something that I always found myself doing when I was nervous.

“When I turned eighteen, my mother died, and she said I would be special when I got to be older. I never believed her until this morning,” I told them, staring into space as I relived this morning through my memories. “I know I don’t know Keifer all that well, and I feel like I have a ton more to learn, but I sense a connection to him. Something deep.”

Skylar smiled. “I’ve never seen Keifer act the way he has this past day with anyone in my entire life. Even during high school when he was the king of football. Trust me, I’m sure he feels much the same way.”

I smiled. “I used to watch the dragons from my apartment window,” I told her. “Used to daydream about riding one. Being in the clouds, feeling the wind in my hair,” I sighed wistfully as I remembered yesterday’s flight. “Keifer made one of my dreams come true within the first twenty-four hours of knowing him.”

I felt a cool, dainty hand touch my forearm, and I turned to find Keifer’s mother, Bella, staring at me. Then she touched my cheek, letting me know that she understood what I was going through.

Hell, I wished I did. I was so fucking lost it wasn’t even funny.

The minute the door sealed off, my heart froze in my chest, and I felt like I hadn’t taken a deep breath since.

“Mom knows sign language, do you?” Skylar asked softly.

I turned to Skylar and shook my head. “I know the alphabet, but I’m really slow on the uptake. I can sign it quickly, but I can’t comprehend unless they go really,
really
slow.”

I smiled apologetically at Bella, and she patted my hand twice before removing a spiral bound notebook from her side.

She started scribbling words down, and I looked down to read them.

Do you have any questions?
She wrote.

I shrugged.

“Probably a bazillion,” I admitted.

She smiled and made a come-on gesture with her hand, so I started to ask my questions.

“How long were you able to resist your husband?” I asked.

She didn’t even pretend that she misunderstood what I was asking her and instead just started to scribble away.

He and I were able to stay away from each other for a little over forty-eight hours. The third night we knew each other, our relationship became a little…explosive.

I smiled, remembering this morning, and how I really couldn’t stop myself from taking him.

Hell, I’d practically woken up with him already in my mouth.

I was shameless!

“Is that how you lost your voice…did he breathe
his dragon fire into you?” I asked carefully.
