To Wed A Dragon: BBW Dragon Shifter Paranormal Romance (Weredragon Warriors Book 2) (8 page)

The scent of her arousal was
driving him to distraction and he couldn't afford to be distracted.
If he didn't keep his mind and eyes on the road, they would end up
wrapped around a tree. He was a confident, skilful driver but his
dick and his dragon weren't letting him rest. Erotic images of Nora
straddling him with the moonlight glinting off their sweaty, entwined
bodies kept flashing through his mind.

The scent of her fierce,
unrelenting arousal wasn't helping.

Edriq growled and floored the
accelerator. He would get her safely home, and then he would take
her on her bed. Not out here in the open where perverts could see
her.

Nora's eyes were half closed
and her breathing had quickened to short pants. Edriq knew that her
body was responding to the burning lust and desire of his dragon.
She was his mate, and she wanted him. Now.

Edriq knew without a doubt
that he would have to claim her tonight. He could not deny his
dragon or himself any longer.

Edriq parked in an empty lot
just in front of Nora's building and snapped his seat belt off.

Nora stumbled out of the car
and looked at him with hungry, pleading eyes as he walked round the
car to her.

Grabbing her shoulders, Edriq
crushed his mouth to hers in a bruising, demanding kiss. His tongue
pushed into her mouth and he groaned at the hot, sweet taste of his
mate.

Nora trembled as he held her
waist and pulled her flush against him. She melted against him,
whimpering softly as he kissed her with a crazed, primal hunger.

Holding her to his side, he
led her up the stairs to her apartment. Nora swayed and staggered,
her legs unsteady beneath her. But Edriq held her firmly, securely,
possessively.

Once they were inside her
apartment, Edriq locked the door behind them and swept Nora into his
arms.

He carried her straight to
the bedroom and tossed her on the bed. The hem of her dress rose up
her thighs and the sight of her white cotton panties made his cock
jerk painfully. He wanted to be inside her, buried in her slick,
tight heat.

Edriq pinned her wrists down
and kissed her. Nora didn't resist. Instead, she arched her back
and returned his kisses with equal passion and ardor. Edriq slid his
hands up her hips and pushed her dress up to her waist.

Dipping his head, he ripped
away her panties with his teeth.

The tearing sound made Nora
gasp and her sweet, sticky juices squirted out of her.

Edriq growled and pressed his
mouth to her pussy. This belonged to him. From now on, her pussy
would only know his cock, his mouth and his hands. No other male
would touch, taste or penetrate this hot, tight pussy. This was his.
His to pleasure, to own, to claim.

Edriq kissed her wet, pink
pussy lips and sucked greedily at her clit. Nora moaned and cried
out in pleasure as he fingered her.

He licked her juices off his
fingers before pushing his tongue deep into her. She tasted so
exquisite, so fucking delicious.

Nora writhed, her head
thrashing as he fucked her hard with his tongue. With a cry, she
came against his mouth.

Her entire body shuddered as
Edriq kissed the inside of her creamy thighs. She clawed at his
shirt as he kissed her on the mouth, letting her taste herself on
him.

Nora pushed his shirt off his
shoulders and began to tug frenziedly at his belt.

Her hunger was as fierce as
his. They needed and wanted each other. His dragon's hunger could
only be sated by his mate. And only he could satisfy his mate's
maddening, burning, tormenting need.

CHAPTER
TWENTY-TWO

Nora spread her legs wider as
Edriq lowered himself to her. His body was magnificent, rippling
with hard, toned muscle. He was broad and big—very, very big.

She swallowed as she stared
at his erect cock. His cock was thick and huge, and there was a drop
of pre-cum beading on the head of his cock.

Her eyes fluttered close when
Edriq started suckling her. Oh, the man was really good with his
tongue. He licked and sucked at her breasts, teasing and tormenting
her nipples to painful, pulsating peaks.

Mindlessly, she raised her
hips and rubbed and ground wantonly against him. She wanted, needed
to feel him inside her. A part of her knew that when he took her, it
wouldn't be just a joining of their bodies. They would be joining
their hearts and souls...and their lives.

Nora made a small sound of
pleasure and wonder. Could it be...that she had finally found the
one, the perfect one? Edriq wasn't perfect, but he would be perfect
for her. He was a relentless, dedicated warrior. Like her. She was
a fighter, and she fought hard for the lives of her patients. No
matter how grim or hopeless the situation, she never, ever gave up.

Edriq might be a
battle-hardened warrior, but beneath that tough, fierce exterior,
Edriq was loving and protective. She saw his tender expression when
he talked to his niece, Tessa. Watching him interact with the
vivacious five-year-old girl simply melted her heart. He doted on
her and he was infinitely patient and gentle with her. Edriq was
devoted to his family, his people.

Over dinner, Edriq had told
his family how they met. The way he described Nora's actions and
profession told her how proud he was of her, of her job, of what she
did every single day.

Edriq admired and respected
her. He wasn't like her clingy, insecure exes who were resentful of
her commitment to her job. Edriq was a very busy man himself. He
was the Managing Director of the FabFit fitness chain and he was a
weredragon warrior.

Nora growled and dug her
nails into Edriq's undulating back. She had never been a possessive,
territorial lover before. But she wanted Edriq to be
hers
.

Completely and forever.

“I want you,” she
hissed, clinging to his powerful shoulders. “I want you
forever, Edriq.”

Edriq stared deeply into her
eyes. The silver in his eyes had faded a little to reveal splashes
of lilac. His eyes were beautiful, just like the rest of him.

“You are mine, Nora.
My mate,” Edriq said and bowed his forehead to hers. He closed
his eyes and whispered something in a strange, beautiful language.

“Wh-what are you
saying?” she asked, her breath hitching.

“It is the language of
the Dracans,” he said, kissing her eyelids. “I am
claiming you as my mate, and my dragon will mark you. Once you are
bathed in the claiming fire of my dragon, there is no going back.
Your body will be changed. Your aging will slow and your lifespan
will match mine. We will be bonded forever, Nora.”

“But I will not claim
you and change you against your will, Nora,” Edriq continued.
There was a flash of pain in his eyes as he swallowed. “If you
say no...”

Nora cupped his handsome face
and stared into his eyes.

If she said no, he would
fight his dragon and his desire and restrain himself. The effort
might kill him, but he would do it.

“I want you to claim
me,” she whispered. “Take me, and claim me.” With
a lopsided smile, she added, “With fire, if you must.”

CHAPTER
TWENTY-THREE

Edriq looked deeply into
Nora's dark, brown eyes and saw her strength and resolve. She was a
strong and brave woman. Of that he had no doubt. She would be
strong enough to accept the claiming fire of his dragon.

Sliding his hands under her
knees, he pushed her legs up to spread her wider.

Very slowly, he nudged his
cock into her slit.

Nora gasped and her muscles
clenched around him. Sweat beaded on his forehead. “You're so
tight, Nora,” he gritted out.

She whimpered as he tried to
inch deeper into her. Leaning forward, Edriq kissed down her body
and circled her nipples with his tongue. She grew even wetter as
Edriq touched and caressed her.

Thumbing her nipples, Edriq
fed his cock inch by inch into her pussy until he was fully buried
inside her.

Nora sighed and wrapped her
arms around his neck. When Edriq began to move, she murmured her
pleasure and nibbled his jaw and shoulders.

Edriq slanted his mouth
across hers as he began to thrust harder into his mate's hot,
luscious body. Edriq could feel his dragon rising within him, its
heat and power burning through his body.

The sound of their heavy
breathing filled the room. Edriq inhaled their mingled breaths and
erotic scents deep into his dragon. His dragon roared and reared up,
ready and eager to claim its mate.

His eyes glowed pure silver
as he locked his mouth over Nora's. A great, pulsing heat tore
through his body as his dragon breathed its claiming fire into its
mate.

Nora's body bucked and she
convulsed violently in his arms. Edriq kept moving inside her,
pounding harder and deeper into his mate.

As he roared his release,
Nora arched her back and let out a keening cry. Shudders racked her
body as she orgasmed again and again.

A red dragon-shaped mark
appeared on Nora's right shoulder. Her skin was flushed and hot to
the touch.

“Nora...” He
smoothed her hair back and stared worriedly into her face. “Nora,
open your eyes. Please.”

For a long while, her eyes
remained closed.

Finally, she blinked slowly
and stared up at him.

“Edriq,” she said
hoarsely.

He let out a shout of relief
and hugged her hard. Kissing her hair, her face, her hands, he
murmured her name and whispered a prayer in the Dracan language.

“How do you feel?”
he asked at last. He felt her forehead anxiously. His dragon fire
was still burning within her, but he could feel her temperature
returning to normal.

His Nora was indeed strong
enough to absorb his claiming fire and be strengthened by it. If she
wasn't strong enough, she would be burned, damaged or killed by his
dragon fire.

But she had known that she
would survive. She hadn't been afraid. She was confident that his
fire wouldn't kill her.

His strong, amazing,
incredible mate.

Nora blinked again and smiled
at him. “Your eyes, they're no longer silver.”

“The big beast is
exhausted,” Edriq deadpanned.

At that, Nora broke into a
fit of giggles. “Your dragon has rolled over and gone to sleep
right after sex!” she exclaimed. “Does it always do
that?”

Pulling her to him, Edriq
drawled, “That's for you to find out.”

CHAPTER
TWENTY-FOUR

Edriq kissed Nora and said,
“Lock the door. Then go to your bedroom window.” He
hated to leave her, but he had a job to do. His brothers had told
him over dinner that they would cover his area tonight, since he was
driving Nora home and after that…

They seemed to know what he
would be doing after that.

But he couldn't leave Rohan
and Zul to patrol such a wide area the whole night. When he told
Nora that he had to go help his brothers, she had promptly kicked him
out of bed. When duty called, you answered. She knew all about it.
She'd even helped him get dressed, doing his zipper and getting him
all hard and horny again.

Nora kissed him back but when
he tried to feel her up, she shoved him laughingly out the front
door. “Go!”

Edriq jogged down the stairs
and stood at the edge of the sidewalk. He looked up and saw Nora
wave at him from her window.

Grinning, he started to run
and launched himself into the air, shifting into his dragon form at
the same time.

He flew in a circle and
turned to see Nora craning her neck to stare at him from the window.
Nora had no trouble seeing him in his full dragon form. He was
invisible to human eyes, but Nora was his mate.

Her eyes were sparkling with
awe, pride and love as she blew him a big kiss. Edriq let out a
small stream of fire in response and circled her building once more.

Then he turned and soared
towards the clouds.

I love you, Nora
, he
thought to her.

He heard her voice clearly in
his head.
I love you, Edriq!

They were truly, eternally
connected, a part of each other's heart and soul.

Edriq scanned the skies for
his brothers. They could hear one another's thoughts in dragon form
only if they opened up their minds and allowed the other to hear
their thoughts. But they could shut down the communication and block
the other dragons just as easily. He definitely didn't want to have
that busybody Zul eavesdropping on all his thoughts.

Edriq reached out mentally to
his brothers.
Where are you?

He heard Rohan and Zul's
responses almost immediately.

Rohan's surprise was evident.
What are you doing in dragon form?
