The Dragon's Dilemma (Lochguard Highland Dragons Book 1) (13 page)

Fraser leaned down and flicked his tongue over her other nipple. Holly drew in a breath and he sucked her tight bud between his teeth. As he bit gently, Holly moaned and unconsciously opened her legs in invitation.

His dragon snarled.
She is offering herself to us. Rip off her clothes and devour her pussy. I want to taste her now.

Humans like patience.

You have just under four minutes.

Silently cursing his dragon, he promised himself to tease Holly into frustration later. In the moment, he needed to make sure she was nice and wet because once his dragon started, he wouldn’t stop fucking Holly for who the hell knew how long.

Releasing her nipple with a pop, he moved to kiss the skin between her breasts. He couldn’t resist blowing on her skin.

Holly threaded her fingers through his hair and met his eyes. Her pupils were dilated and her cheeks already flushed. “Fraser.”

Rubbing the skin of her abdomen in a slow back-and-forth motion, he whispered, “I wish I could spend an hour memorizing every curve and tender spot of your upper body.” He kissed between her breasts again. “But my dragon is impatient for more.”

Holly’s breathing was faster than before and her voice husky as she asked, “Just your dragon?”

He growled as he took a possessive hold of her breasts. “I’ve been imagining you naked and at my mercy since I first met you, Holly Anderson. Say the word and I’ll show you a fraction of what I want to do to your beautiful body.”

His human wiggled her hips. “Then you’d better hurry up and show me before your dragon breaks loose.”

His beast growled.
I like her. I bet she is already wet. Let me have her.

No. It’s not your turn.

Fraser ran a hand down her ribs and over her round, soft belly.
 

A belly that might soon hold his child.

Longing surged through his body at the thought of a child with Holly. But he pushed it aside for the moment. He didn’t have much time.

He extended a talon again and sliced through her trousers and her underwear. With a quick tug, the fabric ripped and Fraser tossed it onto the floor. The next second, her shoes and socks were gone, too.

Holly closed her legs and then moved her hand to cover the patch of dark hair between her legs, but he grabbed her hands and pinned them to her side. Looking up, he licked his lips. “I need to taste you. Open your legs and show me your beautiful pussy.” Holly’s cheeks flushed pink, but she opened her legs. When she looked away, he squeezed her hands. “I want you to watch me.”

His human frowned and looked back at him. “I never agreed you could order me around.”

His dragon spoke up again.
Two minutes.

Moving her hands so he could keep a grip on them with one hand, he rubbed slow circles on her inner thigh. Holly moaned and he removed his hand.

She growled. “Don’t you dare tease me like that.”

“Then watch me.”

“We’re going to talk about this later, Fraser MacKenzie.”

He lightly traced the lips of her pussy with a finger and Holly drew in a breath. Taking the sound as encouragement, he ran his finger back and forth through her slit. “Trust me. Watching me will make it hotter.”

As soon as he said it, Holly’s frown deepened. But as his eyes flashed, she merely nodded. “For now. But this isn’t over, Fraser Moore. I very much believe in payback.”

He tried not to laugh at the sternness of her voice. “I can live with that.”

Not wanting to waste another second, Fraser moved back and leaned between her thighs.
 

Holly was swollen and glistening already. Just for him.

It would always be for him.

Fraser took a long, slow lick and savored the sweet taste of his female. “You’re fucking perfect.” Holly averted her gaze and he growled before taking another quick taste. “I will never get enough of you.”

Holly refused to look back at him, so Fraser blew up and down her folds. A moan escaped Holly’s lips and Fraser murmured, “Watch me devour you.”

She obeyed at the same time as his beast spoke up.
Your time’s nearly up.
 

Wanting a few more minutes with his true mate, Fraser seeded every bit of dominance he possessed in his reply.
I want and will take a few more minutes. Hush.

Shocked, his beast merely blinked. Taking advantage of the distraction, Fraser leaned back down and lapped a few more times before swirling up and around Holly’s clit but never touching it.
 

“Fraser.”

The unspoken order in her voice made both man and beast happy. She wanted to be claimed.

Caressing her hips, he finally flicked his tongue over her sensitive bud. Swirling faster, Holly moaned his name. She was close.

He might just be able to make his human come before his dragon took over.

Fraser was just about to nibble her sensitive bud when his dragon snarled.
Time’s up.

No. I want more time with her.

You took too long. It’s my turn.

In the next second, Fraser was trapped in the back of his mind. He shoved against the invisible wall, but his bloody dragon was strong. The frenzy was about to start.

Fraser tried one last-ditched effort.
Holly is ours. At least share her.

No. The only way to keep the other males away is to fuck her and impregnate her. She is at my mercy now.

As much as his dragon wanted to brand and claim Holly, Fraser wanted to do it first. His human deserved a little tenderness.

Fraser searched for a way to break free, but his dragon wasted no time in speaking aloud. “You’re mine, Holly. I need to claim you now.”

~~~

One second Holly had been enjoying Fraser’s tongue and the next her hands were pinned over her head with Fraser’s hard body lying on top of her. Looking at his eyes, the pupils were slitted and didn’t flash.

She was currently dealing with Fraser’s dragon.

Her heart rate kicked up. As much as she understood Fraser and his dragon were one and the same, the dragon’s gaze lacked Fraser’s humor. In its place was hunger and desire.

Holly shivered. The action felt like a betrayal to Fraser; she wanted her first time to be with his human half.

The dragon spoke in Fraser’s voice, which made the situation even more surreal. “Are you ready? I’m going to brand you now. You’re my female.” He leaned downed and nipped her neck. “Fraser wants to make sure you’re ready.” The dragon eyes looked back at her. “Are you?”

As Fraser-slash-dragon continued to nip and lick her neck, Holly nearly gave in. But remembering Fraser’s grin and teasing, she pushed down her desire and answered, “Not with you. Give me Fraser the first time. You can have me as many times as you wish after that.”

He frowned. “We are one and the same.”

“No, I want the other half.”

Anger flashed in his eyes. “You are mine. I need to fuck you.”

He leaned down and took her nipple into his mouth. Holly cried out in pleasure and realized talking with him wasn’t going to work.
 

While Holly would fulfill her contract, she was going to do it on her own terms.

Moving her head to the side, she opened her mouth and bit down on the dragonman’s arm with all of her might.

With a roar, Fraser’s dragon half released his grip on her arm and her breast. Using the split-second advantage, Holly reached down between them and swung a punch toward Fraser’s cock and bollocks.

She made contact with a smack.

Not even the dragon half was strong enough to withstand the pain of being punched in the dick and he grabbed himself and rolled over. Holly jumped out of the bed, picked up the lamp on the nightstand, and held it up over her shoulder. She debated hitting him on the head without a warning, but then Fraser turned over. His pupils were round and his voice was strangled as he said, “I should thank you, honey. But seriously, what the fuck?”

While she relaxed her grip on the lamp slightly, Holly didn’t put it down. “Your dragon wasn’t behaving, so I taught him a lesson.”

“Aye, I’d say you did.” Fraser groaned again before adding, “Put the bloody lamp down. You’ve scared him and he’s not coming out again until you say it’s okay.”

She raised an eyebrow. “How do I know your dragon’s telling the truth? From what little experience I have with him, he doesn’t take suggestions or bother to discuss something first.”

“You have no reason to trust me, but my dragon’s sulking in the back of my mind. He’s never been bested by a human female before.”

“Good.”

Fraser took a deep breath before sitting upright. “Come, lass. At least let me hold you. The contact will calm you, me, and my dragon.”

Holly’s heart thundered inside her chest as she scrutinized Fraser’s face. His pupils were still round and the lightheartedness had returned to his gaze. “I have a compromise. I can sit with you, but the lamp’s coming with me.”

The corner of Fraser’s mouth ticked up. “As long as you don’t try to shove it up my arse, then aye, bring the bloody lamp if it makes you feel safer.”

Holly smiled. “Thanks for the idea. Tell your dragon to mind his manners or I might just have to try it.”

Shaking his head, Fraser murmured, “You have gumption, I’ll give you that.”

“I’m just glad my idea worked. Angering a dragon is risky, but he needs to learn some manners.”

“I may have spoiled him a bit.”

“So not all dragon halves act that way?”

Fraser motioned toward the bed. “Come sit with me and I’ll answer your questions.” She raised her brows and he added, “It’s not like I’m going to ravish you, lass. Not even a dragon-shifter can sustain a punch to the dick without needing a little time to recover.”

Darting a quick glance down, Fraser removed his hands. He was indeed no longer standing at attention.

Still, she kept the lamp gripped in one hand as she sat on the edge of the bed. In the next second, Fraser moved her to his lap. The skin-to-skin contact helped to ease her concern and she relaxed a fraction. When Fraser rubbed his hand up and down her arm, it helped a little bit more.

He whispered, “What would you like to know, Holly?”

~~~

Fraser reveled in the soft, heavy weight of the female sitting in his lap.
 

Never before had he sat naked with a female and been content with merely holding her. Yet as he rubbed up and down her arm, Holly’s feminine scent helped him to not only forget about the pulsing pain in his cock, but it also helped to slow his dragon’s pacing. Fraser said to his beast,
What happened to wanting a challenge?

His beast huffed.
I didn’t expect for her to punch us there.

At least you’ll think twice about trying to force her again.

With a harrumph, his dragon fell silent.

He kissed the side of Holly’s neck and her body relaxed a wee bit more. “What would you like to know, Holly? Ask me anything.”

She turned her head to meet his eyes. “Why couldn’t you control your dragon just now?”

Fraser shrugged one shoulder. “I’ve never had a reason to try and contain him before. Some might say I’ve spoiled him. To be honest, we’ve never really disagreed about anything until we met you.”

Holly raised her chin. For all that she was trying to look brave, her wild, frizzy hair and nakedness made him want to laugh. Thankfully, before he did, Holly answered, “Well, if he tries something like that again, I’ll be ready. I might even find a taser and use it instead of my fist next time.”

Fraser winced. “Whatever you do, don’t mention that option to other humans who come here. The last thing we need is a group of dragon-shifter males with fried cocks.” Holly smiled and the sight made his stomach flip. He brushed her cheek with one hand. “It’s good to see you smiling again, honey.”

“That’s still not my name.”

“Aye, I know. But no one else has used that name for you, have they?” Holly shook her head. “Good. Then it’s yet another way for me to claim you.”

“I should be offended at that.”

He grinned. “But you’re not, are you?”

She sighed. “Answering that may feed your ego, and you definitely don’t need that.”

Nuzzling her cheek, he murmured, “I could do with some ego feeding.” He nipped her earlobe. “It might help me forget about the pain.”

He released her ear and kissed his way across her cheek until he was less than an inch from her lips. Meeting her eyes, he whispered, “Although I could settle for a kiss instead. One taste of your lips will make everything better.”

Holly fought a smile and lost the battle. “You were quite the ladies’ man before you met me, weren’t you?”

He frowned. “Why would you bring up other women? None of them compare to you.”

His human finally tossed the lamp to the floor. It landed with a thud on the carpet and she placed her currently free hand on his chest. “I wonder if that’s you, your dragon, or your penis talking.”

Fraser growled. “I was trying to make up for my dragon’s behavior, yes, but I’m speaking the truth.” He took her face in his hands. “No one has ever resisted my charms before, let alone taken on my dragon in a fit and won. That’s pretty bloody fantastic, Holly Anderson.” He strummed his finger against her cheek. “Just as you are, too.” He laid his forehead against hers. “Now, you stubborn woman, I’m going to kiss you and convince you of my words.” He moved a fraction closer. “Provided you won’t punch me in the dick again.”

Holly grinned and mischief danced in her eyes. “Then I guess you’d better make me forget how to think, let alone act, and your dick will be safe.” She lowered her voice. “At least, for now. I make no guarantees about later.”

The urge to tease Holly some more was strong, but his cock was already hardening and he didn’t want Holly, let alone his dragon, to change their minds.

So, Fraser lightly kissed her and answered, “Then I just need to ensure I leave you begging for more. That way, all of me will be safe from your devious mind.”

Holly opened her mouth, but Fraser swallowed her reply with a kiss.

Chapter Nine

Holly wasn’t sure if she was happy or irritated that Fraser shut her up with a kiss. Very few people had ever tried to take charge of her.
