orrent watched
as Candy licked her lips, her eyes were focused on his cock. Her cheeks were flushed, her hair tussled. She was a stunner. An absolute stunner.

She was also so tiny and fragile. Even through his haze of need, something in him shifted. She was beginning to trust him. Beginning to accept their bond. He couldn’t wait to make her his.

She glanced up at him from under her lashes and his heart skipped a beat. Her skin was the color of milk. Her breasts swayed as she leaned forward, putting her hands on either side of his body. Her nipples were a dark pink. They were hard little nubs. His legs were open, with her between them.

Candy stayed that way for several long seconds. Then she went onto her haunches, taking his length in one of her tiny hands. He hissed out a breath as she squeezed him softly. Then her other hand went to his balls. She took ahold of him there, giving them a fondle.

Torrent groaned.

Infinitely slowly, she leaned down, her mouth just an inch from his cock. He could feel her breath on him. Torrent let his head fall back on the pillow. He swallowed thickly, anticipation buzzed through him.

Her mouth closed over his tip.

Fuck yes!

Finally!

Torrent groaned deeply. Her mouth was warm and so fucking wet. She released him and another groan was torn from him. This one born of frustration.

“Female.” He gripped the sheets to keep from grabbing the back of her head.

She gave a husky chuckle and blew a breath onto his head. He felt goosebumps rise on him. When he looked down, she was smiling. Using just the tip of her tongue, she licked the rim of his cock in a seductive sweep that had his blood running hot and his breath coming in pants. “So you like to tease?” His voice was a rough rasp.

Instead of answering, she wrapped her lips around his cock again. The sight of her mouth on him almost made him come right there and then.

He sucked in another breath, his teeth clenched. His hands fisted. This time, instead of taking just his tip in her mouth, she deep throated him.

“Fuck,” he growled softly.

Candy deep throated him a good couple of times. He felt his brow sweat up. He felt his breath turn ragged. He felt his heart just about beat out of his chest. Much more of this and he was going to embarrass himself.

Then she released him and his lip curled back on a soft growl.

His frustration didn’t last long because she wrapped her hot little mouth around one of his balls. She made a low humming noise and it vibrated right through him. Right through. A zing of pleasure raced through him. Every muscle tensed. His belly tightened. Candy hummed some more, moving from one ball to the other.

He swore. It was loud and rude but didn’t deter his little minx. She took in more of him, now fondling one ball while she hummed on the other.

When she took back his cock, Torrent felt everything in him tighten, his balls pulled up. It felt so damned good that it almost hurt.

Candy must have sensed that he was about to come because she licked his rim again. Trailing her tongue slowly around the edge before sucking softly on his tip. It was enough of a reprieve to allow him to catch his breath.

Then she was deep throating him again. Her lips thin as they stretched around his girth. Her head bobbed up and down. Her little hand pumped on his shaft base.

“Fuck.” He was about to come harder than he ever had in his long life. “Candy.” He forced her name out. His blood rushed through him. His heart went nuts. Just as he was about to explode, she moved back to his balls.

She stopped just a second short and he growled loudly. His chest vibrated with the force of it.

Her mouth felt so good on his balls. Her hands knew where to touch and with just the right pressure.

Torrent was so wound up. He’d been so close to this female for days and hadn’t been able to touch even a hair on her lovely head. Making himself come wasn’t the same. The need for release rode him harder than he’d ever experienced before. “Please.” He couldn’t help but thread his fingers into her hair. “You’re killing me,” he groaned.

“Poor baby.” She sighed as she moved back to his cock.

“Please, Candy.” He’d never begged anyone for anything before in his life. Torrent found that he didn’t care. He would get on his knees if he had to.

This time when she took ahold of his base and took his dick deep in her mouth, she didn’t stop.

His entire body tensed. His hand fisted her hair and he forced himself to let go. Her head bobbed quickly. Her breasts swayed and bounced with each jerk of her head. His balls were somewhere in his throat.

“Stop,” he ground out. “Fuck…” It was all the warning he could give her. Candy moved quicker, her hand clutched him firmer. He snarled as his seed erupted from him. It burst from his body in a solid stream. Ecstasy coursed through him. His body went nuts after being held on the brink for so long. She swallowed him down, her porcelain throat worked. She slowed, her hands, going back to his balls and another spurt was forced from him. She made slurping, swallowing noises that made him want her more. As in, inside her, deep inside.

He thread his fingers through her hair, feeling how soft and silky it was. He forced out a breath before pulling in another one. Candy trailed her tongue down his shaft.

Torrent chuckled. It came out sounding pained. “That was…” he laughed some more. “My god, female…” He cupped her chin and lifted her face. Her lips were swollen and wet. She looked up at him from under her lashes. “If you’re waiting for me to get soft, you’re going to wait a long time.”

“I thought that since you gave me more than one that…” She pulled her bottom lip in-between her teeth.

Torrent shook his head. “I’ll die if you do that again. I couldn’t take it.”

“I thought you were a king, the strongest of your people.” She smiled.

“I am, wiseass.” He pulled her up and held her to his chest. “Coming in your mouth made me want you more. All I could think about was being inside you.” He felt her tense. “No pressure. I understand your need to wait. I need a little bit of time to recover. Where the hell did you learn to do that?”

She tensed up all over again.

He hugged her tighter. “No! On second thought, don’t tell me. I know you’ve been with other males but I don’t want to hear about it… ever.”

“Um…” She sighed. “Okay. We should talk about some of that stuff though.”

“It’s not important, Candy. You had other males. I had other females. You are my first relationship. We are highly compatible and that is all that counts. Now…” He smiled at her. Candy was frowning. “Tell me more about you. What is important to you?”

The frown disappeared and her eyes lifted in thought. “Animals. I’m an animal lover.”

“I remember you telling me that the other day. Good to know considering I’m part dragon.” He smiled at her.

She smiled. “Who’s being the wiseass now?”

He ran a hand down her back. She felt so good against him. In his space.

“I do a lot for our local shelter. I walk the dogs. I donate money. I had planned on becoming a vet but I can’t stand the idea of putting an animal to sleep so I’ve decided that maybe the medical field would be better. We try and save people, we don’t put them to sleep. I recently quit my job and have enrolled in medical school.”

He didn’t know what to say. Candy was supposed to be desperate and in need of help. She sounded anything but. He realized he needed to say something. “A doctor… wow… that would take years of hard studying. Before you ask me how I know that, I’ve bedded a doctor or two and a nurse, oh, and a paramedic.”

Candy smacked his chest. “We weren’t supposed to talk about previous conquests, you manwhore.”

Then her whole demeanor changed. She looked away and buried into his chest. “Sorry, I didn’t mean that,” she mumbled.

He squeezed her to him. “I have been going into Sweetwater, Walton Springs and other surrounding towns for many years. It was a necessity. You need to know that. As a male, I have needs and—”

“You don’t need to explain. I understand.”

“I hope you do.” He kissed the top of her head. “Shifters have a high sex drive. We are wired to procreate. There is the stag run and then there are female dragon shifters, I have taken every opportunity that was presented to me but it meant nothing. I can safely say that I have never come so hard as I did just now. I’ve never wanted a female more and I’ve never enjoyed being with someone as much. I’m not just saying that.”

“I know.” She lifted her head and gave him a shy smile. “I feel the same.”

He had to grin. He could feel it wide on his face. They were going to be okay. For the first time he felt it. Really felt it. If she wanted to study he would find a way to make that happen for her. Whatever this female wanted, she would get. Candy was his queen after all.

H
er legs were spread
. As wide as they would go. Steam wafted from the surface of the water. Clusters of bubbles drifted aimlessly. Candy choked out a sob. She tried to thrust, causing both of her knees to come up, both legs hung over the sides of the large tub.

Torrent’s tongue was buried deep inside her. Her hands clutched the porcelain edges.

Oh god!

She moaned as the tip of his tongue stabbed into her repeatedly. Her hips rocked and soapy water sloshed over the edge. Candy didn’t give a shit. She was trying not to come. Torrent replaced his tongue with at least two fingers. His mouth suckled on her clit. More water sloshed over the edge.

Oh! Oh!

His broad back was just above the water; his face was buried firmly between her legs. Soapy suds clung to the skin that was exposed. His blond hair swirled in the water. His hands held her ass. His big shoulders kept her legs open. Who knew that breathing under water could come in so handy?

Who freaking knew.
Water sloshed over the edge repeatedly. She was moaning like mad. It was weird considering that her wild moans and groans and the water spilling onto the floor were the only noises in the large chamber.

She was trying so hard not to come. This felt too damned good. Torrent had other ideas. When the tip of one of his fingers entered her back end, she went off like a firecracker. Her orgasm was big and explosive. Her legs clamped closed, or tried to, and she made a drawn out guttural wail. Her whole body vibrated. Torrent licked at her clit. His pumping fingers slowed as she came down.

She slumped back against the tub, her breath coming in sharp gasps. Torrent came up. Water trailed down his chest. It covered every inch of him. He wiped sopping hair from his brow and grinned at her, looking both gorgeous and wicked.

“I told you you’d like it.” He wiped a hand over his face.

“Understatement of the year.” She still struggled to catch her breath. “You can bathe with me anytime.”

Torrent chuckled. He leaned in and kissed her softly on the corner of her mouth. “I need to show my face. I’ve been buried between these thighs since yesterday morning.”

“That’s a bad thing?”

He made a pained face. “Not at all. I also have a meeting with my brother.” He stood in one graceful move. Water cascaded down his body and her mouth went dry.

He was too darned good looking. So strong. He embodied exactly what a man should look like. Tall, built, bronzed skin. His… member was big and hard. It jutted from his body. “Don’t you want me to take care of that?” She narrowed her eyes on his dick.

Torrent groaned and his dick gave a twitch. “No time. I’ll pack a picnic and we can go out later. You can make good on that offer then.” He fisted the base of his cock and gave his entire length a tug, his eyes glazed over. “I’ll look forward to it.”

It suddenly became hard to breathe. Hard to even think. Despite having just had an incredible orgasm, her channel clenched with longing. It was becoming harder to resist him. It was crazy because she hardly knew Torrent but she was beginning to imagine a future with him. She was definitely falling for him in a big way. There was no doubt about it.

Torrent stepped out of the bath and grabbed a towel. He wrapped the piece of wool around his waist. Then he disappeared into the bedroom for a few minutes before reappearing. He grabbed something from the closet and tugged on a pair of pants.

Within a few strides he was next to the tub. Torrent crouched next to her. “Sky will be by in a bit.” He looked at her with concern. “Do you need a few more of those books you like to read?” He smiled at her.

“I’m still good.” She nodded once. “I’m still reading the first one.”

He made a humming noise. “The one about the demon king and his concubine.”

“Yup.” She nodded.

“Surely if it were any good you’d be finished by now.”

“A certain dragon king has been keeping me very busy.” She leaned forward and kissed him.

He didn’t allow her to deepen the kiss. “I’ve enjoyed every second.” He paused. “I’ll miss you.”

Her heart paused for a second. “Well then come back soon.”

He nodded. “I’ll see you a bit later.” Then he kissed her, this time sweeping his tongue into her mouth in a panty wetting kiss. He tasted of mint and smelled so good.
