Stop arguing and dance. It’s almost time to kiss him.
You just want to try and break his penis.
Not until the end. Otherwise, he’ll never give us young.
Smiling at her beast’s logic, she asked, There will be some touching. Will you be okay?
Since it means I can kiss our mate and soon after fuck him, then yes. I will last.
Arabella was skeptical, but as the pop music quieted and a female’s voice came over the speakers, she pushed aside her doubts to listen to the announcement. “As promised, it’s time for Finn and his lovely mate-to-be to dance for us. Please clear the center area of the hall.”
As people moved to the sides, Arabella’s heart rate increased. She hadn’t danced the old, traditional dances in twenty years. Finn would owe her big time later on.
Her dragon huffed. I remember everything. You will be fine. And then we can kiss him.
When we’re in dragon form, then you can show me your dance moves. It won’t help me in human form.
I can show you images. Don’t doubt me.
I’m starting to miss you being silent.
Her beast huffed just as Finn put out his hand. Shoving her dragon to the back of her mind, she placed hers on top and discarded her glass on a nearby table. With a wink, he guided them to the empty space in the middle of the hall. Once they reached it, Finn released her hand. Taking two steps back, he bowed.
A slightly upbeat medley of fiddles, a piano, and a few other instruments she couldn’t name filled the room. It was time to see if she really had paid attention to her lessons as a child.
After sliding two steps to one side, Arabella moved diagonally toward the center to meet Finn. Pressing her open palm against his, they turned. While the turn was only a few seconds, Finn’s gaze burned into hers. Between the desire and slight frenzy in his eyes as well as the roughness of his palm against her, heat flooded her body. Her dragon took notice, but did her best to restrain the frenzy. So far, her beast was keeping her word.
Then the beat required her to drop her hand and brush past Finn’s shoulder without touching. Twirling back around, she repeated the steps until her hand touched Finn’s again. The jolt of his touch went straight between her legs. Soon, she would have his rough palm caressing her breast, her hip, and the soft spot behind her knee. Suddenly, the thin material of her traditional dress became stifling and Arabella wondered how she would survive the rest of the dance.
Once the twirl was complete, Finn took hold of both her hands and took the lead. As they moved slowly in a circle, she was unable to look away from her dragonman’s gaze. Everyone else in the room disappeared; in that moment, it was just her and Finn.
He is ours.
Arabella wasn’t sure if the claim was hers or her dragon’s.
As she danced, every movement caused her dress to brush against her skin, making her dragon roar. It wouldn’t be long before her dragon lost control.
Releasing one of her hands, Finn twirled her out and they moved together, forward and back. Reluctantly, she released his hand and glided back toward where they had started.
The steps familiar again, she didn’t hesitate to sway her hands to the left and then to the right before raising them out to her sides. After moving her hips left and then right, she twirled twice to stop with Finn right in front of her. He laced his fingers with hers, and she shivered as his male scent of wind and peat surrounded her.
Raising their arms, he released her hands and outlined her head, torso, and waist without touching her. The act made her dragon snarl. Hurry up. I want him.
Ignoring her beast, Arabella focused on the music and outlined Finn’s head, shoulders and waist with her own hands. Judging by his slitted eyes, he wasn’t the only one on the verge of losing control.
She walked past his shoulder and turned until they were facing each other once again. The music died down and even though the dance wasn’t difficult, it was hard to breathe with Finn staring at her as if he couldn’t wait to devour her.
After their kiss, he would.
Arabella waited for panic to set in, but all she felt was anticipation. Her nipples were hard and she was already wet from the brief caresses of Finn’s skin against her own. One kiss would probably set her off.
Yet she was okay with that. Soon, she would have the gorgeous male across from her naked and hers to claim.
As everyone clapped, her dragon growled. Make sure he knows that as soon as he kisses us, I won’t be able to hold the frenzy off for more than five or ten minutes with him near. We will leave with him or without him. That is the only way to guarantee everyone’s safety.
Understood.
Finn walked up to her and leaned to her ear to whisper, “I love watching your tall, lean body move in time to the music. Promise you’ll dance for me again, Ara. Preferably when you’re naked and alone with me.”
