Craved by the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons 8) - Page 74

Her voice was lower as she said, "But I do want to know. Stop shutting me out, Killian. I'm not about to keep chasing you. If you want a chance with me, then talk to me. Otherwise, I will leave and never come back."

The honorable thing would be to release Brenna from the mating and allow her to find a sane, stable male.

However, the thought of anyone else kissing her or caressing her naked skin made his stomach churn in anger.

For the first time in a while, Killian knew what he wanted.

He wanted Brenna.

Both dragons roared their approval.

Squeezing her hand, he leaned closer to the bars and Brenna's face. "No more hiding on my part." He leaned a fraction closer. "Because I want you, Brenna Rossi. And provided I can find a way to tame my dragons, I will show you how much one day."

She put her face a few inches more between the bars and kissed him.

As he moved his lips and nibbled hers, a sense of rightness coursed through his body. She'd tasted fantastic before, but with his two dragons humming their contentment, she was fucking unbelievable.

There wasn't enough room to take the kiss deeper, so he contented himself with licking and nibbling, memorizing every sigh and groan to use with her again later.

He eventually found the strength to pull away. "I wish these bloody bars weren't here."

Raising a hand, she cupped his cheek and slowly strummed her thumb over his skin. "Then tell me what's going on with your dragons so I can help. There has to be a way to get you out of here."

Turning his face into her hand, he took a second to revel in her warmth and scent. After kissing her palm, he moved his head to reply, "You know about the constant fighting. I've learned how to construct a prison, but I'm not sure how long I can maintain it. However, as corny as it sounds, they calm down when you're near."

She raised her brows. "Then maybe we should test how my presence affects them further."

"How?"

Brenna extracted a key from her pocket. "As a Protector, I have access to the keys to the cells."

His heart rate ticked up at the thought of holding Brenna in his arms. "But I thought you didn't want to upset Tristan? Coming in here with me will most definitely do that."

The corner of her mouth ticked up. "I try not to, but I can hold my own with him later."

He searched her eyes. "Are you sure about this? Locking yourself in here with me could be dangerous."

"I don't think you'll hurt me, Killian. And if there's something I can do to help, finally, after twiddling my thumbs for who knows how long, then I'm going to do it. Not just out of obligation, either, so quickly banish that from your brain." The hand on his cheek moved to brush the hair off his forehead. "I'm drawn to you, Killian. And I'd like to finally see why."

Stepping back, Brenna locked the outer door to the room and faced him again. She held up the key. "Are you ready?"

He quickly said to his beasts, Well, are you?

Blue spoke first. I am. I may turn my head for the kissy parts, but I promise to behave.

He focused in on Black. And you?

I won't close my eyes for any of it. But yes, I'll behave. I'm curious what she tastes like.

Killian nodded. "I'm ready. Give the word, and I'll try taking down the mental prison."

~~~

Brenna's heart thundered in her ears. Not because she was afraid, but rather she was nervous about what came next. After all, if they finally did have sex, Brenna had little experience in that arena. Not to mention last time, the guy in question had used it against her, to try and manipulate her.

No. Killian wasn't Cedric and would never use her that way. Killian had all but pushed her away to protect her. He had honor, unlike Cedric the arsehole.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm both her heart and mind.
