At the top of the porch steps, he tosses the bag inside without caring where it ends up. I hurry upstairs with him right behind me. His heat at my back makes me climb faster.

In the bathroom, we brush our teeth at the sink. My wolf gets giddy each time his arm bumps mine. There’s nothing sexy about toothpaste. What is wrong with me? He rinses and turns on the shower. Steam fills the room while he kicks off his sweatpants. I untie my robe and drop it on the floor. He watches it pool on the tile and drags his eyes back up my body.

We step in together. I moan when the hot water hits my skin. Blood and dirt run off me in thin brown streams and swirl down the drain. He pulls me under the spray, and I drop my head back into it with my eyes shut. It drums against my scalp and pours down my shoulders.

His hands are on me before I come up for air. He works the body wash down my arms in slick circles. He cups my breasts and soaps them with his thumbs tracing the undersides. My nipples pull tight under his touch. He ignores them and moves on down my stomach. He’s thorough about it too. My mate has nowhere to be until every inch of me is clean. He keeps his hands steady, but his scent thickens in the steam. His dragon is paying attention.

He rinses me off and tips my chin up so the water runs down my back. He leans in until his lips brush my ear. “You said I could have you any way I want.”

I squeeze my thighs together. All I can manage is to bite my lip and nod. He covers my mouth with his in a kiss that’s nothing like the ones he’s given me before. It swallows me up. His tongue slides against mine while he digs his fingers into my waist and hauls me flush to him. I can’t think straight with my knees buckling. I grab his shoulders to stay on my feet.

He pulls back far enough to see my face. His blue-green eyes have gone dark with a stare I’ve seen before. His dragon watched my wolf with it during the hunt. Now Ezra is aiming it at me. Goosebumps race up my arms.

We don’t make it much further in the shower. He shuts off the water and carries me dripping wet into the bedroom without bothering with towels. He lays me on the bed and covers my body with his. His skin is slick and hot against mine. The sheets soak through under my back. He kisses me harder this time and nips his way down my neck. I arch up into his mouth.

His scent is all over me. I can taste his want on the back of my tongue. I’m already wet and aching. Every brush of his fingers makes me whimper. Whatever I was still holding back from him, I can’t find it anymore, and my wolf isn’t about to help me look.

Ezra moves down to my breasts without a word. When he gets quiet like this, his dragon is close to the surface. That scares me worse than anything he could say. I cry out and buck under him when he sucks my nipple into his mouth. He takes his time with each one. He circles with his tongue and grazes with his teeth until I’m fisting the sheets and panting.

He kisses his way down my stomach and over my hipbone. When he pushes my knees wide and gets down on his elbows, every muscle in me tenses. He looks up at me with burning eyes and flicks out his tongue. It’s long and thick with a fork at the tip. Mother Fate, what is he about to do with that?

He licks across my pussy, and my hips snap up. He grips my thighs to hold me open and buries his face between them. I gasp at how hot his tongue is inside me. He twists it and curls it against my walls until he hits spots I didn’t know I had, and I’m gone. I shriek and grab the back of his head to pull him closer, even as I try to squirm away from his mouth.

He doesn’t stop. He slides his tongue out of me and drags it lower until it presses against my ass. I jerk and clamp my thighs around him. Who knew dragons did this? He growls into me and shoves my legs back open. He laps at my pussy and plunges deep again. I come apart with my toes curling, my hips bucking against his mouth. I clench around his tongue in hard waves while he licks me through them.

I’m still shaking when he turns me over onto my knees. My wolf wanted him this way from the start. He keeps me there and goes back for more from behind. I’m too wrecked to care how shameless he is. He gets his face between my cheeks with his nose pressed against me and fucks my pussy with his tongue until I’m crying. When he works it higher and pushes into my ass, I lose it all over again. I kick at the sheets and scream myself hoarse into the mattress.

I try to crawl forward. “Ezra,” I gasp. “Ezra, please, I can’t…”

But he isn’t listening. He pulls me back to his mouth with a low rumble against my skin. His dragon is running this show now. Whatever the hunt stirred up in him, he’s pouring it into me.

When he stops, I collapse on my belly. My useless thighs won’t stop jumping. The bed dips as he hauls me back up by the waist. He presses the thick tip of his dick against me and pushes in.

He fills me in a long stroke. I open my mouth, but I can’t make a sound. He waits with his hips flush to my ass while I quiver around him. Then he moves.

There’s no easing into it with him tonight. He fucks me hard and fast. Every thrust slams me up the bed. I grab the headboard to brace myself. He follows and curves over my back with his breath hot on my neck. He’s grunting and growling in my ear, and none of it is words.

I come again. This one locks up my whole body with my back arched under him. He pounds me through every spasm without slowing down. His grip on my hips is going to leave marks.

“Ezra,” I sob. “Ezra, please, oh God…”

The only answer I get is the wet slap of him against my ass and the bed banging the wall. He flips me over and shoves my legs up to my shoulders before he slides back in.

I wail at the new angle. He’s everywhere inside me. When he thrusts again with his face over mine, his dragon stares at me out of his eyes, smug as hell. I can’t take much more.

The next orgasm wrings me out. I claw at his back and drag my nails down his shoulders. He buries himself deep and comes with a groan against my mouth. Every throb of him is scalding hot. He shakes through it with his teeth clenched.

He stays inside me, rocking his hips through the aftershocks. I think he’s done, but he only lifts up to look at me. He’s still hard. His dragon isn’t finished yet.

“Again?” I whisper. There’s not much voice left to do it with.

He doesn’t answer. He’s already moving, slower this time but every bit as deep. I’m still sensitive from the last round. My thighs twitch around him whenever he sinks in. I whimper and push at his chest. He pins my wrists above my head and keeps rolling into me with long, easy strokes.

My wolf rises, and the room tilts. By now I know what an orgasm building feels like, but this isn’t one. She tugs at me low in my belly and works her way higher.

I want to claim him. She roars for it until I can’t hear myself think. Saliva pools on my tongue as my canines slide down. I clamp my lips shut over them so he won’t see.

No. Not yet. I’m not ready.
