“I’m not leaving you.”
His skin prickled as he allowed the dragon some freedom. Maybe he knew more than Kal’s human form did right now. She blinked at him several times.
“What is the strange light?” she asked.
The orange glow bounced off walls.
“It’s you. Your skin is glowing.”
He strained to hear her. “My tattoos?”
Kal shook his head. “No. Your entire body.”
“Where are we again? Is this your ship? I thought that was a cheesy line.”
Kal hated that she was so out of it. That made this even more complicated.
“No. This is not my ship and no, it was not a line. This is your house.”
He watched her try to sit up. The sweat dotting her forehead said it all.
“Don’t move. I have to cool you down.”
He could hear the beat of her heart change. Was this good or bad?
“Like you did earlier?” Maddie asked.
He sat slowly next to her. “Perhaps. Is that okay?”
She started tugging at her shirt.
“I had a smart-ass comment, but right now I don’t care what you do to me. I feel like I’m cooking. Just take this fire. Please.”
He gripped her hands softly, and leaned in. Her scent stood out to him in a swirling of desert blossoms. He licked his lips, hunger rolling over him. Yes, he would do what he could to cool her down as quickly as possible. Would she allow him to do exactly what he’d wanted to do from the moment he met her?
Her lips parted as Kal leaned in.
“I’m going to kiss you now.”
She hiccuped.
Bringing his face closer to hers, he claimed her mouth. His dragon began calling the energy from her. Maybe she commanded a magic he didn’t know, but he commanded fire, the sun, the energy of the stars.
Deepening the kiss, her mouth answered the dance and welcomed his tongue as it tasted her.
Kal released her hands and allowed his own to glide down her body, pushing aside her t-shirt. The scent of the air changed as his fingers grazed the skin of her stomach. Kal’s magic drew more of the fiery energy and he felt her temperature lowering.
The air, infused with magic and fire, a high, clouding his head, a euphoric drug. There was only Maddie.
Rivers of fire pulsed through him as he ran his hand down her hip. Pushing closer, he hungered for more. For her.
Maddie wrapped a hand around his neck to pull him to her. Without losing her lips, he adjusted, placing one knee on the bed, the other settling between her legs. Kal’s free hand braced himself on the bed.
Desire burned its way through him. His lack of clothing and the excess of her clothing became very unfortunate.
Fuck. He needed her. His hand slid down her hip to her thigh.
She pushed her pelvis up, rubbing against his leg. A moan caught in his throat.
Fuck.
Sweat slicked his skin from restraint.
“Maddie.” His breathing heavy, his brain fogged over in desire, he didn’t know what the fuck he was trying to ask.
Gripping his face between her palms, she held his attention. “Kal. I need more.”
Damn.
His dick jumped for joy.
“More?”
Goddess, let this not be a language barrier. His dick started throbbing.
“Yes. More. I need you to do whatever it is you’re doing, but faster.”
Treading new territory with Maddie, he paused. Risk. What he believed needed to be done, versus what if it didn’t work?
“I need direct contact with your skin.” No. He needed all of her. He needed her to submit to him. “I need contact with all of your body.”
“Yes,” was all she responded.
His eyes scanned her face before he spoke once more. Goddess. He needed to just shut up and take her. That's what his damn dragon thought, anyway.
“You understand what I am asking?”
“Yes.”
Maddie pushed her pelvis up against him, her hips wiggling against the bulge in his pants.
He closed his eyes trying to keep himself from coming. Suddenly Maddie growled and pushed him away.
“What?”
“Get off of me and strip, dragon boy.”
This was an interesting turn of events indeed, and he sure as fuck didn’t need to be told twice.
Gripping the COM on his wrist, he tossed it aside as well as the roll of emergency clothing tied to his ankle.
He pushed up on his knees. “Done”
She paused and damn, didn’t he wish she finished undressing.
“Oh. You’re quick.”
He couldn’t help but smile as her eyes roamed over him.
“Dragon, remember? He has no need for clothing.”
A hunger sparkled in her eyes, something he’d never seen before. Kal paused and did an inventory. Prey, he felt like prey.
Kal sucked in the air as Maddie shifted. The muscles of his stomach tensed as her wet tongue moistened her beautiful plump lips. She came forward, lowered on all fours. Fuck, he wasn’t going to last long at this rate.
“Let me help,” he breathed out.
Her face peered up at him, and shit if she wasn’t the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.
Kneeling before him, Maddie took his dick between both hands and started to stroke him. Her tongue darted out, hungry, she licked the tip.
Peering up at him, she smiled. “You are. Don’t you feel it?”
Kal didn’t have time to blink before her soft lips kissed his belly. Not what he’d expected, but damn if he didn’t like the anticipation of where this was going.
His dick twitched, begging for attention as she licked a trail down. His skin grew tight as her touch chased tingles of pleasure replacing the high of magic. He forgot every fucking thing he’d been taught since he was a babe.
Winding his hands through her hair, Kal damn near begged for more as she licked her way down his shaft, back up, circling the head. Maddie’s lips soft, warm, and pleading for his cock.
Fuck, me, he thought.
The heat of her breath as she stretched her mouth around him made the world disappear.
Kal was lost to his Maddie.

Her body tingled and a heat independent of the fire burning through her was new and different. This was her magic, her need.
He tasted of salt and sweat and Kal. She didn’t know where the confidence came from, but
