She smiled. “I know how to calm him. Do both of you need some dragon cuddles?”
“No bloody dragon cuddles. Why can’t you call it ‘dragon loving’ or ‘dragon affection.’ Both are more acceptable for a head Protector’s mate.”
Kai was in charge of Stonefire’s security team, or Protectors, as the dragons called them.
Laughing, she snuggled against Kai’s chest. “Because I like to rile you up every once in a while. You’re stoic and calm for the clan’s sake. But even a big, bad Protector needs to let go every once in a while.”
He lightly slapped her arse. “How long will your uploading take?”
She raised her head again. “Not very long. Why?”
Kai’s pupils flashed to slits. “Because my dragon and I want to do our own brand of cuddling.”
As Kai’s hand moved further down her bum and to between her thighs, heat flushed her cheeks. “I thought you had your fill this morning.”
He pressed against the seam of her jeans and Jane sucked in a breath. Kai’s hot breath tickled her ear as he whispered, “I will never have my fill of you, Jane Hartley. You’re mine, and I think it’s time to show you once more just how much I love you.”
Instead of sitting in front of the computer, hitting Refresh every minute to see any comments, she would much prefer Kai naked and inside her.
Not that she’d surrender so easily.
She tilted her head. “Does that mean your dragon is going to come out to play?”
“I want you all to myself.”
“And you’ve been doing so for over a week. I’d rather he come out some of the time instead of waking up to find him in charge. Once he finishes, I can never muster the strength to get out of bed.”
Concern filled Kai’s eyes. “I told him you’re merely a human.”
She cupped his cheek. “I’m strong, Kai, and I love both halves of you. However, you would be the same way if you were shoved to the side for a week and could only watch, but never touch. The two of you make a whole, and I love you as you are. It’s okay to share with him. After all, I plan to stick around for a long time to come. There’s more than enough time for you and your dragon to have some fun.”
“You’d better stick around.”
She smiled. “Are you going to suggest your stubbornness can keep me alive forever?”
“Maybe.”
She chuckled. “I’m not going anywhere, so stop worrying. I’d rather you use the energy for something else.”
Kai’s blue eyes with a ring of green around his pupils turned heated. “Then I had better start diverting that energy now.”
Before she could do more than open her mouth, Kai tossed her over his shoulder and headed up the stairs. “Kai, what are you doing?”
He patted her bum. “This way is faster.”
“You always say that,” she muttered.
“Then stop asking and use the energy for something else.”
Touché.
Not that Jane had time to think of a comeback. Within seconds, Kai had gently laid her down on their bed and moved away to shuck his clothes.
Even though she had licked every inch of Kai’s body many times over, her mouth went dry at the sight of his muscled, naked chest. When he dropped his trousers, his hard cock sprung free. “Commando again, I see.”
He took his cock in hand and stroked once. “I know you like me naked quicker.”
She licked her lips. “Yes, I do.”
