Chapter 18

18

T hese men will be the death of me; I just know it. Why , you may ask? Because I am sore as fuck after being ravaged by not only Asher , but Alair and Reverie as well. The problem? AlI I can think about is how sexy Benedict looks leaning up against the bookshelf as he reads. Do these men release pheromones that I simply cannot resist? Or is my cunt that desperate to find release with these men?

I adjust on my chair as I try to figure out the best way to lay my book. It’s positioned just right, so I can peek over it to watch Bene . His shirt is ruffled from training this morning, and his sleeves are rolled up to his elbows. I never thought forearms could be sexy, but his flex every time he flips a page.

He licks his finger to turn the pages, and the only thing I can think is how I wish he would lick me like that. Does that make me a sex fiend? I never found sex pleasurable until sex with these men.

I jump when I hear his silky voice. “ Little bookworm, are you doing alright?”

Shaking myself, I give him a nod. “ Yes . Yes , I’m fine. Why ?”

He arches a brow as he points to the book in my hand. “ You have been on the same page for the last twenty minutes.” Then he gestures to the other books around me. “ Although , I suppose I should recant my nickname of bookworm with the hoard of books around you.”

I smirk as I look around at the hundreds of books surrounding me. “ What would you call me instead?”

Closing what he was reading, he crosses his arms, still leaning against the bookshelf. He gives me a thoughtful look before nodding. “ You would be a book dragon. A dragoness, I suppose.”

Humming , I smile. “ A dragoness. That does sound better than bookworm.”

He points to the book still in my hand. “ Now , what was running through that mind of yours that kept you on the same page for twenty minutes?”

My cheeks heat, and I hide behind the cover of the book. “ I couldn’t concentrate on the words. And it was not twenty minutes,” I mumble.

He chuckles as I hear his footsteps near. “ We have been in the library for thirty minutes, and I have been watching you the whole time. It was twenty minutes of you not flipping a single page.”

I wiggle in my seat as embarrassment fills me. “ Like I said,” I whisper, “ I couldn’t concentrate.”

Bene runs a finger over the top of the book and pushes it down, away from my face. His brown eyes, framed with wisps of platinum-blonde hair, fill my view. “ Now , what could possibly pull your concentration away from such a captivating book, Dragoness ?”

I bite my lip before whispering, “ I was distracted by the only thing able to pull the attention of a dragoness away from her hoard.”

He smiles as he kneels in front of me. “ And what could do that?”

“ A dragon,” I murmur.

He slips his hands under my dress and caresses my legs, sliding them up to my thighs. I suck in a breath as he grins. “ I imagine not just any dragon could pull you from your hoard.” His thumbs caress the inside of my thighs as he asks, “ What’s so special about this dragon?”

Finding it hard to concentrate with the sudden rush of pleasure, I stutter, “ He -he’s handsome.”

He hums thoughtfully as he drags my underwear down my legs. “ There are many handsome dragons, Eira . What’s special about this one?”

Warmth pools in my stomach as I watch his eyes shift to black before returning to their normal cinnamon color. “ His eyes,” I say breathily.

Bene smiles as he lifts my dress up to my hips. “ What about his eyes?”

“ They are warm and comforting like cinnamon.”

Humming , he slips his hands under my ass, pulling my hips toward him, and I let out a squeak. “ What else has caught your attention?” he asks.

He massages my ass before moving to my thighs, drawing small circles against my skin. Clearing my throat, I reply, “ Um … he loves books.”

He nods as he lowers his face to my center. “ Hum … maybe you should read that page you’ve been stuck on for twenty minutes.”

Not arguing, I open the book to the page I was stuck on and begin to read. I screech when he pinches my clit. “ Out loud, Dragoness .”

Nodding , I begin reading. “ There once was—” I hiss when his hot mouth sucks on my clit.

He chuckles and pulls away. “ Keep reading.”

I whimper but attempt to continue. The moment I begin talking he continues his torture. “ There once was a ruler who wished to conquer all of the lands… fuck.”

His tongue slips from my center, taking one more long lick before pulling away. “ I don’t think that’s how it went. Maybe I should stop, so you can read properly.”

Shaking my head, I clamp my thighs around his head and send him a glare. “ Don’t you dare.”

“ Then keep reading.”

There is no way I will be able to read while his tongue is inside me. I'll just have to improvise. “ There once was a ruler who wished to conquer all of the lands,” I say, growling.

He smirks as he lowers himself, and I squeeze my legs, so he won’t be able to pull away again. Throwing the book to the side, I slip my fingers into his long hair. “ But he found a female more enticing.”

He hums against my core as I rub myself against his face, needing more. My fingers tighten in his hair as I pant out, “ He … he found her… hypnotizing.”

Bene growls when I use his hair to tug him closer. I look down to find his endless, black pits staring back up at me. Grinding myself against him, I groan. “ He loved to pleasure her.”

His tongue laps at me as he slips a finger inside. He strokes slowly and sucks on my clit, causing my back to bow. The finger stops, and I whine but continue. “ Fuck … fucking her with his tongue… until she came. The end.”

He slips another finger inside me, curving them to hit just the right spot that makes me pant for more. “ Yes … yes, just like that.”

His strokes become faster as I tug on his hair, feeling the pleasure building. “ Fuck her! Fuck her! Fuck her!” I scream.

He growls, managing to break the hold my legs have on his head. He pulls away, falling backward, taking me with him. I didn’t realize he slipped out of me until he slams back inside.

My hands grip his chest as he grips my hips with each thrust. His eyes are dark pits as he groans and asks, “ Do you enjoy your dragon's cock?”

“ Yes .”

He grunts with a hard thrust. “ So needy for my cock.”

“ Yes ,” I cry.

His fingers dig into my hips, and I just know they’ll leave bruises as his pace increases, hitting that perfect spot each time. “ Cream for me. So wet and tight,” he snarls.

I scream, and he slams into me as stars fill my vision. Letting out a low, rough grunt, he continues to thrust in and out of my tight channel. He slips his thumb between us and massages my clit, making me whine as the pleasure renews.

My nails dig into his chest as he continues to fuck me. “ Come !” he barks.

I shake my head. I can’t possibly, even though I can feel the pleasure building again. I feel him slip a hand from my hip, up my body, and into my hair. He fists my long locks, pulling me forward. My wide eyes meet his black orbs as he demands, “ I told you to COME , Little Dragoness .”

The pleasure-pain is too much when he bites my shoulder at the same time as he pinches my clit. He slams into me again just as I come with a scream.

He growls, and I feel his release. We catch our breaths while he holds me in his arms. I can hear his rapid heart beat as I lie there. I whine when his cock slips out as he lifts me higher up onto his chest.

“ Shh . We won’t be moving for a while.”

I nod as Bene runs his fingers through my hair, massaging my scalp. I groan and melt into his body, closing my eyes as I relax.

“ Rest , my Dragoness . I’ll guard you and your hoard.”
