Power In Her Kiss Read online

  The Shifter beside me places his hand on my belly. He pushes me slowly backwards. We move until we can no longer see the dragon, and turn around. Behind us, there’s another man, his skin a shimmering green.

  I see the man beside me curse without a sound, and he pushes me in a new direction. This time, we spot a third man in seconds.

  “They’re closing in on us,” he whispers.

  “What do we do?”

  For a second I think I see fear in his eyes, and then I see an idea strike him.

  He maneuvers me against a tree and wraps my legs around his waist.

  My eyes widen. “What are you doing?”

  “Covering you with my scent.”

  I finally get it. I can’t believe how dumb I’ve been. Somehow I didn’t consider what he meant when he talked about covering my scent.

  He starts to undo his pants. I hold myself stiffly. If this is the only way to stop the dragons, then I’ll do it.

  But he freezes, his gaze sweeps over my face. “You don’t want this.”

  “Just do it,” I tell him, tensing.

  Slowly, he shakes his head. “I’ll draw them to me. I smell enough like you that they’ll take the distraction.”

  My breathing comes in and out in a rush. “You don’t have to do that.”

  He gives a small smile and pushes my hair back from my face. “I’ve never taken a woman who didn’t want me. I won’t start today. With you.”

  Suddenly, a blonde man with greyish-yellow eyes appears behind the man who holds me. I gasp, and he whirls around to face the stranger.

  “Greyson, why aren’t you at the den?” the man who holds me asks sternly.

  “I thought you might need my help.”

  “Actually,” he pulls away from me, “you’re right. I’m going to be the distraction. You get her to safety.”

  He nods. “Yes, Sam.”

  And then, Sam gives me one last searing look and races away.

  I don’t move. I just watch him leave, feeling unsure. Regretting putting him in this position.

  The strange man, Greyson, moves closer to me. He inhales deeply, and his smile grows wicked. “You smell delicious. I can’t wait to get a taste of you.”

  Then, his gaze moves over my naked body in a way that’s so intimate it makes goosebumps blossom all over my body.

  “I believe you’re supposed to get me to safety…”

  He nods. “Don’t worry, honey, I’m just waiting for the signal.

  Suddenly, we hear Sam shouting, “Over here you dumb winged assholes!”

  “Subtle,” I mutter.

  Greyson grabs me and pulls me down into his lap. A second later, I see a flash of color move through the trees. For a minute my heart is pounding so fast I can think of nothing else. And then, I feel the Shifter’s erection beneath me.

  “You’re turned on?” I sputter softly.

  He reaches around and touches my inner-thigh. “Your scent is driving me mad.”

  To my shock, I don’t push his hand away. Warmth is blossoming from his touch and my nipples harden. Suddenly Sam’s warning about the way I’d react to him and his pack seems a little less ridiculous.

  His hand slides closer between my legs, and his lips rub against my neck.

  “Are you always this handsy with women?” I say, breathless.

  “Only when the woman on my lap is rocking against my dick and spreading her legs wider and wider.”

  “I am not!” And then I freeze because I’m rocking.

  Damn it.

  He cups my womanhood, and my head goes back. I feel like I’m on fire. His agile fingers spread me gently, and then he’s stroking me.

  I close my eyes, and a moan slips from my lips.

  He growls low and nips my throat with his teeth. My body jerks. So apparently, I like being spanked… and bit. I learn something new every day.

  As his finger circles my clit, I bite my lips to keep any sound from slipping past my lips. And then, he pulls his hand away and stands.

  I blink stupidly at him. “You stopped.”

  “The dragons are far enough,” he whispers, then throws me over his shoulder.

  That snaps me out of my mindless state. “You guys know I can walk, right?”

  He hurries off through the woods. And then, the sound of snarling cuts through the silence of the woods, followed by a roar of anger.

  I stiffen. “They’re fighting?”

  “Sam is keeping them busy.”

  I think of the three big dragon shifters. “Alone? Will he be okay?”

  Greyson doesn’t answer.

  An image comes to me of the man who saved me being killed by dragons.

  “Put me down!”

  Greyson doesn’t slow. “No.”

  “We need to help him.”

  He laughs. “You think sending your hot naked ass into a middle of a fight will help things?”

  “That’s exactly what I think.”

  “No,” he sounds so damn smug.

  Taking a deep breath, I allow flames to form on my hand. Then, very slowly, I move my hand down to his ass. For a moment, he makes a happy, little sound. And then he realizes how hot my hand is. Probably about the time my fire burns through his pants.

  He cries out, and I shove out of his arms. Before he has time to react, I take off towards the battle sounds. I make it further than I thought before he catches me around the waist. I whisper a sorry and turn around, kneeing him as hard as I can in the balls.

  His eyes roll back in his head as he releases me, and I take off running again.

  When I break out of the trees into a clearing, I spot Sam. The dragons have surrounded him. Three massive, naked men with cruel eyes. He’s bleeding from his cheek, but he holds himself as if he’s the cockiest asshole in the room.

  Which I love.

  “Hey!” I shout.

  All of them freeze.

  Slowly, one after another of them turn to me. My bravado fades a bit. I hope I thought this out well enough.

  “Dragons, uh, hey. I’m not interested in being your mate, so why don’t you move along.”

  The red dragon’s lips curl into a frown. “That is not up to you.”

  I take a step back. “I’ve chosen the wolves as my mates.”

  He cocks his head. “Then, we’ll kill them and take you.”

  Shit.

  One of them turns and punches Sam in the face. He hits the ground hard. Then, the three dragons come toward me. I swallow, bunch my hands into fists, and wait.

  When they’re less than ten steps from me, I send my flames roaring out toward them and the trees around them.

  “Run!” I shout to Sam, hoping he has the strength to escape.

  But when the flames clear, not only hasn’t Sam run for it, he’s still lying on the ground. And the dragons stand unaffected.

  Crap.

  The gold one smirks callously. “Time to stop this game. There’s no choice left. You’re coming with us.”

  As the dragons close in on me, I try to keep my gaze focused on them. I knew what I was doing, but with each passing second that it doesn’t happen, I fear I made a mistake. When they’re just a few feet from me, almost out of range, the trees give a familiar creak.

  I take a deep breath, keeping my eyes from the trees.

  And then, they come crashing down on top of the dragons in a flurry of branches and pine needles.

  I spring around the mess of trees and reach Sam. His eyes pop open, and I realize he was faking it. What was his plan?

  He raises a brow and leaps up. Again, I’m tossed over his shoulder, but this time I’m too happy to be getting the hell out of there to be annoyed.

  We race through the woods, and suddenly I realized that there is something passing us in the trees on our sides. I squint. One of the creatures pauses. It’s a wolf! His grey eyes lock onto mine, and he winks.

  The pack!

  “They’ll protect the lair,”
Sam tells me, his voice confident. “I’m guessing Greyson called for backup.”

  Thank god for Greyson!

  Suddenly, he sends us through a bunch of branches. I spit out pine needles and pull them off my face. We’ve entered a tunnel beneath the ground. As we keep going, the tunnel opens up wider and wider until we’re in a massive cave.

  That’s when he put me down.

  “You stay here, where you’re hopefully safe.”

  I catch his arm as he turns to leave. “Wait a second. What are you going to do?”

  He raises a brow. “I’m the alpha. I’m going to help my pack.”

  “Can you guys actually defeat dragons?”

  He shrugs. “There’s a first time for everything.”

  I hold his gaze. “Wouldn’t it be easier just to have sex with me? I mean, you said they wouldn’t want me then.”

  His eyes darken. “I already told you—“

  “Well, maybe I want it.” I take a deep breath. “Maybe I want you.”

  He shakes his head. “I don’t even know your name.”

  I smile. “Hira.”

  Holding my breath, I wait for him to touch me. Instead, he slips from my hand, heading for the exit.

  “What, now you don’t want me?” I challenge, placing my hands on my hips.

  His shoulders stiffen. “You know that’s not true.”

  “Then come on, wolf boy. Sex me up. Save your pack the most fun way possible.”

  He laughs and turns around. “You really want it?”

  “I asked for it, didn’t I?”

  When he stalks back toward me, it takes everything in me not to take a step back. He prowls toward me, like a predator stalking prey.

  Instead of stopping in front of me, he grasps my shoulders and pulls me against him. I don’t even have time to grasp, and he’s kissing me, stealing my breath. His hands come around to grip my ass, and I wrap my legs around him.

  My pulse fills my ears as I grind against his obvious arousal.

  He breaks our kiss to swear. And this time, I reach for the tie on his pants and undo it. When I tug the thin material down, I’m satisfied to see he’s packing something delicious. My hands curl around him, and he groans.

  I lick my lips. I’m hoping this wolf knows what he’s doing because I want this hard and fast. Grabbing his shoulders, I wrap my legs around his back, and his eyes widen.

  Placing his tip at my entrance, I hold his gaze.

  He kisses my neck, then sucks slowly down to my shoulder. His touch feels incredible. As if he’s setting every nerve on my body on fire. Then, his lips close over my nipples.

  I groan, grasping the back of his head with one of my hands. He sucks harder, and I feel myself burning with need. Unable to help myself, I sink slowly onto his cock, loving the way he fills me. Loving the way he squeezes my body.

  As he continues to suck my nipples, I begin to ride him. Taking him out, and plunging him back in. I moan, loving every second of him.

  Ripples seem to move over my skin. I feel different. Alive.

  His mouth releases my breast, and suddenly, he begins to slam into me. If I thought I was feeling pleasure before, it was nothing in comparison to this. I ride him as he takes me. My thoughts spinning away.

  My body is aware of every single inch of him as my inner-muscles clench his length. I’m close, so damn close. His fingers bite into my ass, and then I come.

  This orgasm is like nothing I’ve experienced before. It’s hard. Long. Incredible.

  My toes curl, and a scream tears from my lips.

  And then he comes, his hot seed shooting into me. It feels so damn good.

  I can’t breathe. I can’t speak. All I feel is him.

  At last, his thrusts slow and then stop.

  “Will that be—enough?” I murmur.

  He strokes my hair and untangles my legs from around his back. When he lowers me to the ground, his gaze locks with mine. “You’re freaking incredible.”

  “You’re not so bad yourself.”

  His gaze moves back to the tunnel entrance. “I don’t know if that was enough. I’m going to go back and see if their mating rage has ceased.”

  I nod. “Be careful.”

  He starts out the door but pauses at the entrance. “I’ll send someone back to guard you.”

  “I’ll be fine,” I reassure him.

  He looks back at me. “You really have no idea how much you’ve stolen my heart, do you?”

  I open my mouth but have no idea what to say. And then, he’s gone.

  A man comes back into the cave a couple of short minutes later. He’s younger than Sam, with short, dark hair. His eyes are an intense green, and he has a scruff of beard.

  The instant his gaze lands on me, his attraction is obvious. He stares at my breasts as if he’s never seen a woman naked before. And to my shock, I kind of like it.

  “Eyes up here.”

  A blush darkens his cheeks. “Sorry.”

  But then, he’s staring at my breasts again.

  I sigh, even though I love it. “So, did Sam sexing-me-up stop their mating heat or whatever?”

  His eyes never meet mine as he answers. “Nope, but they’re more pissed off than before. They can smell how aroused you are… we all can. But luckily for us, they’re staying in human form. They know it’s the only way they’ll find our den.”

  “So what happens if they go back to dragon-form?”

  “Wolves aren’t exactly fireproof.”

  My stomach turns a little. “Well, I guess the solution here is that you have sex with me too.”

  Finally, his gaze lifts to meet mine. “Uh, what?”

  “Well, having sex with Sam wasn’t enough. Maybe sex with you will be.”

  He shakes his head and takes a step back. “I’m the lowest in the pack. I’m an engineer, not a hunter or a warrior.”

  I raise a brow. “What is with you guys rejecting my advances? Come here and have sex with me.” When he doesn’t move, I raise my voice. “Now.”

  That seems to spring him into action. He hurries over to me, but then instead of touching me, just stares again.

  “I guess I have to do everything myself!” Without another word, I tug off his pants.

  His jaw drops.

  Kneeling down in front of him, I can’t help myself. He looks big, hard, and tasty. Gripping him tightly, I take him into my mouth and suck.

  He cries out.

  I continue to pump him, loving the way he swells in my mouth. He rocks into me. I gaze up at him. His head is thrown back like this is the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Aroused by his obvious enjoyment, I cup his balls.

  He shouts, and then grabs me, hauling me to my feet. I’m shocked as he spins me around and bends me over. I spread my legs and place them on the side of the cave.

  Instantly, he’s behind me. But even though I expect him to plunge right inside me, he doesn’t. Instead, he reaches around and starts to stroke me. My clit almost shivers as he squeezes it. I’m moaning, bucking against him, and wanting him inside me so damned bad.

  And I don’t want to wait. I’m ready. Now.

  As if he’s reading my thoughts, he plunges right inside.

  The way this blushing engineer fucks me is mind-blowing. He takes me so hard. Slamming in and out of me as I brace against the wall. His cock feels massive from this angle. Hell, it was massive. And when my muscles squeeze him and my orgasm explodes, he comes at the same instant, filling me with his hot seed.

  It takes a long minute before the world stops spinning. He pulls out of me and helps me stand. To my surprise, he holds me against him.

  “I’m Brent, by the way.”

  I laugh. “Nice to meet you, Brent.”

  We hear a roar outside. Too close. And the moment is broken. Brent grabs his pants and pulls them back up, then moves to stand in front of me.

  Neither of us speaks. Neither of us moves. Instead, we watch the entrance.

  A
second later, the three dragons enter.

  Shit.

  Brent growls and leaps toward them. One of the dragons punches him, knocking him to the ground. The golden dragon moves with lightning reflexes, curling his hand around Brent’s throat.

  The wolf-shifter claws at the hand, but the dragon doesn’t even flinch. His eyes are locked on mine.

  “Stop!” I command him, my voice sounding far more confident than I actually feel.

  His lips curl into a smile. “Ready to come with us? Or shall we kill the dog first?”

  Swallowing hard, I nod and walk towards them.

  “Do—n’t,” Brent coughs out.

  The red dragon steps forward and punches him again. This time, Brent sags in his grip. When I move close enough to the dragons, the gold one releases the wolf and grabs my arm in a crushing grip.

  A little cry escapes my lips.

  He smiles. “You’ll get used to our roughness.”

  I glare at him. “That’s not the kind of roughness women like.”

  He shrugs. “What you want doesn’t matter much to us.”

  Ass.

  They drag me out of the entrance. I look for my wolves, and a second later, I’m thankful to see them break out into the clearing. They’re massive, powerful-looking creatures. But all of them look bloodied and exhausted.

  The dragon that holds me turns to the two others. “Kill them. I’ll take her.”

  I kick him as hard as I can in the groin. He flinches, but his grip remains firm. “You’ll pay for that later.”

  He takes a step back, but before I can try to run, he transforms into a huge golden dragon. One of his clawed hands closes over me, and fear steals the breath from my chest. I peer out of his hand to see the wolves fighting the dragons. Claws and teeth flash, but the dragons fight them like untouchable gods.

  The golden dragon’s wings begin to flap. Air rushes around me.

  And I realize, I’m going to have to do something so dangerous it’s almost stupid. If one thing goes wrong, it’ll end with me killing us all.

  Because that’s one thing about fire Elementalists, it’s a mistake to back us into a corner.
