A Tiger's Destiny (Tiger Protectors Book 3) (15 page)

“Damn,” he growled. “So beautiful.”

“Such language,” Ran said sardonically. “I can think of better things to do with my mouth at this moment.”

Her eyes widened as Ran planted a hand on each thigh and parted them in a quick, firm motion that had her catching her breath, achingly wet. He tore off her panties with one quick movement like they were tissue under his hands and then gave her a voracious stare. His mouth was down and on her before he could even finish that ghost of a devious smile he sent her way before diving in.

Ran was a storm, possessive, fiery, and knowing exactly what he wanted. His tongue flicked eagerly against her as his hands held her ass.

Draven still seemed to be hesitating, though his hands were lingering on her breasts deliciously, making her writhe. He leaned forward and took her lips in an upside kiss that nevertheless fit perfectly, and his hands worked expertly over her nipples with gentle flicks as his tongue parted her lips and dove inside to stroke against hers.

She felt her lower half straining against Ran’s mouth as her tongue entwined with Draven’s. It was a hot, wet possession, a total ignition of her senses as every part of her body felt treasured, owned, claimed.

She moaned against Draven’s lips as his tongue explored, thrusting deep in her mouth and making her ache to be filled. Ran’s tongue dipped lower to stroke up against her pussy, pushing inside and then licking back up to her clit and swirling before he brought his lower teeth up gently to just barely graze her in a way that sent fire rushing through her. She couldn’t take much more, and she gasped against Draven’s lips as the delicious tension built inside her.

Ran growled in satisfaction as her hip movements became more frantic, her body trying to jerk away against her own will. She wanted the pleasure, but it felt too strong. She couldn’t take it. The hands caressing her breasts and dipping down to play softly in her belly button. The hands cupping and squeezing her ass and then firmly holding her thighs while Ran devoured her with his tongue.

The pressure was building, higher and higher, more rapid than it had ever been alone. More intense than it felt she could take.

“I—” she gasped against Draven’s mouth.

He kissed her more deeply and then pulled back to kiss his way down to her ear, licking along the shell as she gasped out huge breaths at the increasing pressure.

“You okay?” Draven asked, murmuring the question against her ear.

She nodded vigorously, bringing a fist up to her mouth to bite down on it, eyes glazed in pleasure. She was going to come. Any second. She knew it.

Draven drew a line from her ear to her breast and then followed it with his mouth, and when his lips closed around her nipple and he gently sucked her into his mouth to play with her with his tongue, she saw him share a look with Ran. Ran stroked hard, right over her center. Once, then twice, and she went.

It was a cascade of feeling, falling and falling all around and through her until she couldn’t breathe, until all she could do was close her eyes and wonder how this were possible. They seemed to know just how to please her. She’d never known anyone could be so attuned to her body.

They were a whirlwind but one she was happy to be caught up in. Ran swirled his tongue over her one last time, licking up her juices, and then he sat up and gave her a look that oozed alpha confidence, his mouth slightly quirked, his eyes glowing at her in the low light of the night.

Draven kissed her breast and then released her nipple and walked around the other side of the bed to join Ran.

“Move,” he said.

Ran moved quickly, spinning her and lifting her in front of him so she was kneeling and he was behind her.

“Wait,” she rasped out, her body still pulsing in the aftershocks of the most amazing orgasm of her life. “Aren’t we finished?”

“Oh, sweetheart,” Ran said in a low, smooth voice that sent a shiver down her spine. “We’re only just beginning.”

Her lips parted in a silent gasp as Draven came toward her on the front of the bed, and the two men closed around her, pinning her between them.

Her body, which had been starting to relax, lit on fire once again. She put her hands in her hair and arched as Draven pulled her waist up for him to kiss her stomach and then her breasts as Ran pulled her hair back off her ears and gently nipped her lobe before closing his lips over the sensitive skin there.

She gasped and thrust forward, and Draven pulled his shirt over his head, leaving her chest to chest with his hard, muscled body. Ran wrapped his arms around her, and she felt another set of incredible abs against her skin.

She threw back her head.

Yes.

T
he dragons
just stayed locked around her, and she could feel their iron strength, their hot breath on her skin. Draven’s blue eyes met hers, and for a moment, she swore she saw his irises change from blue to red and then back again like the flickering of a shutter.

She put a hand up to brush lightly through Draven’s hair and saw his expression tighten slightly as his eyes narrowed on her.

“I still haven’t accepted you, human,” he said in a deep voice. “I just never seem to be able to resist Ran’s taunting.”

“Well, I mean, these breasts are amazing,” Ran said, reaching around from behind to squeeze them gently. Draven’s eyes heated slightly.

“I thought you said the breasts were yours,” she gasped out, trying to joke.

Draven shook his head, keeping that intense gaze on hers as he moved back to remove his pants, baring himself to her.

Melissa gaped at the size of him. When Draven came back against her, she could feel his hard length pressed against her and her body tightening in response. She was so wet, so aching and ready to have him inside her. Her mouth watered at the thought.

“There’s only one time when I don’t mind Ran touching your breasts,” Draven said in a low voice as he lifted her gently onto his lap as if she were feather light. The feel of his hard muscle beneath her was erotic and intense beneath her sensitive, wet flesh. “And that’s when I’m taking you.”

Ran softly massaged her nipples, his capable hands stirring her quickly into the frenzied tension from earlier. It felt like he was inside her mind. Then again, maybe he was.

She still didn’t know that much about dragons, what magic they possessed. She still expected any moment to wake from this dream and be back at the library, having fallen asleep at work.

“It’s not a dream,” Ran said.

“Stay out of her head,” Draven growled. “Have you no shame?”

“You know I don’t,” Ran retorted, nipping Mel’s neck and making her arch again in response as a thrill ran through her. Then Ran came close behind her. “Take her, Draven. She’s ready.”

She nodded. Why hide it? She could hardly wait to feel him inside her, filling her, stimulating her while Ran held and stroked her from behind. She’d always imagined what it would be like to be completely encircled by pleasure, and it seemed she was only a few moments from being able to experience it.

“I’ll take my own damn time,” Draven said, running his hands over her hips. “She’s so small. So fragile,” he said.

Ran nipped her neck and then kissed his way up to her ear. “That can be fixed.”

“Only if she’s a dragon-heart,” he said. “If not…”

“Mood killer,” Ran said, sucking her earlobe and biting down on it gently.

“You’ll kill more than a mood if you don’t think this through, Ran.”

“For fuck’s sake, Dray, if you don’t want to take her, then leave her to me.” She could feel heat emanating from Ran as Draven let out a low growl.

“You know that’s not a good idea, Ran.”

Ran flicked his tongue over her lobe, making her shudder. “Then do your job and let me watch.”

Her eyes flew open. So that was what they planned to do? There were so many ways a ménage could work, and she didn’t really care how it moved forward as long as someone went inside her soon. But did Ran get off on watching? The thought turned her on even more.

“Watching is as close as I get, for now. So open those legs so I can see your eyes roll back as Dray fills you,” Ran growled in her ear, his voice more feral than he’d sounded before, as if he were keeping himself in tight control.

“Ran’s dragon is close to the surface,” Draven said. “He can’t… well. There are some things to explain. Don’t worry about protection. We can’t have human diseases, and we can’t impregnate you before a mating ceremony is performed. We have some odd ways of doing things. I guess you’ll just have to see if you like them, human.”

She wiped sweat from her brow, aching to scoot forward just a little and then slide herself over Draven. “I’m loving it already. I don’t know anything about dragons, but from what I know so far, I’m eager to learn.”

Draven laughed, a welcome sound that lit up his whole face. “You’re hard to stay distant from, you know that?” he asked.

She nodded. “I don’t see any point in holding things back. You just have to put it all out there and see what happens.”

“Then I’ll put it all out there with you and see what happens.” He leaned forward to kiss her neck on the opposite side of Ran and then lifted her at the waist and thrust into her in one smooth, intense stroke that had her biting her lip to keep from screaming out at the shock of it.

She wiggled and squirmed, not sure if she was trying to get off of him or push him deeper inside. He was too large, impossibly hard.

“Relax,” Ran said, stroking his hands over her shoulders in a way that had her shuddering and relaxing. As she yielded her body to the hard strength sheathed inside her, she felt a warm pleasure unlike anything she’d ever felt start to weave through her.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then looked up to see Draven watching her with eyes that definitely flashed Red.

His dragon’s eyes. She blinked, and when she looked again, they were back to blue, a calming, deep blue like the sky at night. Sparkling like stars. Ran’s presence went from soothing to hot as she felt his rippling muscles press against her as he reached around and down between her legs. She gasped at the dual stimulation as Draven put a hand up around her waist and thrust into her as she sat on his lap. He pulled back and then surged forward, and she squeaked in shock and had to relax again. But then Ran’s hand would stroke softly over and around her clit and her body would clench up in anticipation.

It almost felt like too much sensation for any one person. Ran played gently with one nipple while his other hand stroked in a leisurely rhythm over her clit. His breath was hot on her shoulder, sending shockwaves down to her pussy, which was clenching hard around Draven’s dick, buried deep inside her.

It was pleasure, pleasure all over, enlivening her from the top of her head to the tips of her toes, and she felt the instant this ended, she would simply be waiting for the time when she could feel it again.

It wasn’t just the sensuality of it. There was something else happening. Something that felt slightly magical, exhilarating, like the moment before a roller coaster car crests over the first drop.

This wasn’t only the hottest experience of her life, but felt like the first step on a journey that would be truly incredible. She promised herself she would always remember it. Draven increasing his speed, making her body burn and tense with every delicious thrust that filled her to her core. Ran stroked harder and harder with his finger and his tongue slid deftly along her neck, flicking out to tease her ear. Draven’s large hand held her steady, his strength meaning everything as she was swept up in emotion.

With her dragons on either side of her, she felt safer than ever before. Safe to be swept up in this hurricane of emotion, of pleasure.

It built higher and higher, and she felt swept up and up, until she felt she was almost touching the sky, carried on dragon’s wings, wings of pleasure stronger than anything she’d known existed. She bit her lip as a scream rose in her throat and her orgasm came rushing toward her like a burst of wind. When it hit, her whole body convulsed as she was taken up in a wave of pleasure so strong it felt every muscle in her body was swept into one synchronous movement.

She couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, couldn’t even look as the feeling undulated over her, clear and bright as a morning rainstorm. She hadn’t known sex could be like this, and she had a feeling it wasn’t simply because there were two men loving her.

The whole thing felt too cleansing to be simply chance. It felt like something meant to be, felt like something destined. Her body was caught up in wave after wave as the two dragons surrounded her, still stroking and stimulating. And guarding.

She arched, letting her head hit Ran’s shoulder as her hands reached for Draven, grasping him around his shoulders and digging her nails into his back as he growled his satisfaction.

She swore she could feel them silently communicating, working together to please her. They knew every movement, stroking together, touching together, always taking a new place on her when it was available. She felt so damn treasured and didn’t ever want it to end, but didn’t know how she could take much more.

“Dray, it’s time,” Ran said.

“I told you to get out of her head,” Dray gasped out, but he sounded too aroused to be angry. She loved the sound of their voices, talking and communicating as they pleased her, as they let her simply be swept up in the passion while they took care of all the work. She could get used to this.

She was starting to feel sore from the intense stimulation of Draven’s immense size, but her body kept wanted him to continue stroking inside her. Still, Draven seemed aware she couldn’t take much more, and so with Ran’s help, he stroked her toward one more orgasm, and when he felt her tensed on the edge of release, she felt him lean forward and lightly bite her neck. Her body shuddered and she cried out with her orgasm, so intense it was almost painful, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. Then Draven went even harder inside her, and then she could feel him jerking with release, pulsing rhythmically in a way that only pulled more pleasure out of her. She cried out again and again as the orgasm took her, feeling him with her, feeling Ran shaking behind her, as if trying to hold back.

When she finally came back to earth, she opened her eyes to see Draven’s eyes gazing at her tenderly.

The she felt Ran pull away from her back with a muttered curse.

When she turned, she saw him pacing in front of the bed, shoving his hands through his hair.

“Ran, you’ve got this,” Draven said. He turned to her. “Ran’s dragon always gets a bit wild at times like this.”

Draven grabbed his clothing and pulled it on as he walked toward his partner. When he reached Ran, she saw Ran’s eyes tighten in suspicion and flick to her and back again.

“Ran, it’s fine. You’d never hurt her. Come back to yourself.” He reached out and grabbed onto him with both hands, and Ran struggled slightly. His eyes were wild, his muscles bunching in agitation. He still looked every bit as beautiful as usual, but there was something like agony raging in his expression.

Then Ran’s eyes faded to their normal green and she felt the air around them starting to calm.

“Thank heavens,” Draven said.

Melissa let out the breath she didn’t know she was holding, and Ran gave her an apologetic look.

“I’m sorry,” he said. “Not what I expected for a first time. But the bond was… strong.”

Draven nodded, and then a buzzing sound broke the silence and he reached for his pants, pulling out his phone.

“Dammit,” he said.

Ran looked at him with weary eyes. “Don’t tell me…”

Draven gave her an apologetic glance. “I’m sorry.”

“What?” she asked, looking from one to the other as she pulled the sheet up around her. The sex had been amazing, but this part was definitely not working out how she’d planned.

“We have a mission,” Draven said, and Ran groaned.

“Wait,” she said. “You’re going to just leave me here?”

“You know what happened the other night? Where someone was in trouble?” Draven said. “Well, something like that is happening right now.” He ran his hand through his hair. “Dammit. Normally we’d get a break because we’re trying to claim a mate, but there are some things only our pair can do,” he said.

She nodded. She didn’t want anyone to be in trouble.

“I promise we’ll be back soon,” Draven said, as he and Ran pulled on their clothes in a hurry. She looked at the clock. So late. Her body was still pulsing from the pleasure, still aching from their touch.

She sat back against the bed with a quiet sigh. “When will you be back?”

“Probably not until morning,” Draven said, focused on getting ready. “What’s wrong?”

She brushed her hair back. “Nothing. It’s just complicated.” She hated being left, but she knew they had no choice.

Draven’s stared at her for a moment. “I’m sorry, but this is just how it has to be sometimes. If you can’t deal with that, you might want to rethink your decision to stay with two dragons.”

She glared back at him, too aware of how hard her heart was still beating from having him inside her while Ran stroked her to ecstasy. She turned up her chin in a stubborn motion.

“I’m not going to run. Get used to it, Dray,” she said.

Ran let out a laugh. “Good. Then we’ll see you tomorrow.” He blew her a kiss and led the way out the door. Draven simply glanced her way, and then they were gone.

What the hell had just happened?

Her body felt shocked by the whole occasion. Still, Draven was wrong if he thought such a thing was going to make her give up. Life wasn’t meant to be easy, but it could be worth it if you found the right people. And feeling the care she did from Ran and Draven as they’d made love to her, she knew she’d found them for sure.

It would be a long night without them though, alone in a new place.

At least that’s what she thought. But the instant she fell asleep, she dreamed of being carried through the air on dragon wings. Soaring higher and higher until all worries were far below. She slept more peacefully than she had in years.

The dragons had created upset in her life. Yet in a way, it seemed they were already healing her.

T
he next morning
, the dragons still weren’t back, but Melissa was able to find everything she needed to make a good breakfast.

As she finished the dishes, she checked the clock, wondering when they’d be back.

Bored, she poured herself a glass of orange juice and sat at the counter, flipping through a magazine.

The apartment had everything she needed, food, books, toiletries. But it was empty without them, and it didn’t yet feel like home.

A knock sounded on the door and she jumped. She looked over at the door nervously. It wasn’t her place, so should she answer it? Draven had told her not to.
