Matching Dragons Chinese Zodiac Romance Series Book 6 by Rachael Slate Page A

collapsing in his grasp. He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her bud, then rose to press another to her mouth.
    This wouldn’t do. This was a dragon’s will, chaining her to a wall and pleasuring her for his own entertainment. Yet he was helpless to deny his nature.
    He slid his hand between them and squeezed himself, groaning at his pulsing shaft that demanded more. To be inside her, to complete his connection with her.
    Ripping open the front of his pants, he freed his length.
    “Yes, please.” Kadence’s soft pleas feathered across his ears, her breaths airy and light.
    “Please what?”
    “I want you. Inside me.” Her hips undulated toward him, rocking into his and cradling his erection against her soft heat.
    “Ah, but you don’t get to make demands, Kadence.” He nipped at her ear and grinned as she shivered at the contact. Fisting himself, he took a step backward. Her greedy gaze followed his movements, her eyes flashing that pearly hue.
    Her legs rubbed together, and he sensed her desperation to be filled. His need was deeper, too, than with any human female he’d fucked.
    Kadence was meant to be his. Even if only for one night.

Kadence pressed her legs together, wetness slicking her thighs. She’d never been this desperate for any guy. What the hell kind of power did Lok possess over her? Was this the pearl and dragon connection he’d talked about?
    If so, heaven help her, because she’d never be satisfied with anyone else. She added “stubborn” to Lok’s list of mysterious-now-dragon traits. Despite her arguments, he was intent on sacrificing himself.
    For me.
    The hell he would. She was already responsible for her sister’s curse. She refused to add him to her guilt list. There had to be a way out of this.
    And she’d figure one out… After he’d made love to her as intensely as his erotic stance suggested he would.
    He continued to grip his long, thick shaft, slowly caressing those large, rough fingers along his length.
    Damn, if only he’d unchain her and let her finish him off. But Lok appeared to have other ideas.
    As much as she’d hated these chains earlier, the notion of being beneath Lok’s complete control tantalized her mind. The cocky curve of his mouth and the seductive glint in those dark blue depths promised a night of pleasures to last her a lifetime.
    She’d rather have the lifetime.
    Damn him.
    Lok stalked toward her, his heated gaze caressing every inch of her, and making her feel as coveted as he claimed she would be.
    If I were his.
    Would it be so bad? As bad as he threatened?
    Her entire life, no one had ever taken care of her. She’d been both big sister and mom to Mel. The idea of letting go, of knowing someone would be there to catch her and keep her safe, well, it wasn’t so hard to accept.
    Lok flashed toward her, pressing up behind her. His rigid erection was impossible to ignore as it shoved into the small of her back. He stroked one hand down her side, stopping on her hip. She opened her mouth to beg him to take her, but swallowed her pleas. Instead, she shifted on her feet, nudging her legs open a little wider.
    Hopefully, he’d take the hint.
    A growl rumbled in his chest, reminding her of precisely how feral he was. Her penchant for supernatural beings was definitely fulfilled in him. No creature was more powerful, or more mysterious, than a dragon.
    He inhaled against her hair, wrenching her backward into his hard body. His heat enveloped her, a comforting yet enticing presence. Familiar, and yet full of secrets she hoped he would soon share.
    His other hand slipped over her right breast, massaging until heaviness swelled against her pebbled nipple. The anticipation was going to kill her. His left hand skimmed downward, across her nub, and delved inside her, easing in all four fingers. The fullness released some of the flaming tension, but she wouldn’t be satisfied until she claimed him. All of him.
    He groaned as he pressed kisses to her throat.
