"What if I'm interested in your family jewels?"
Lowen stared at me. And then he burst out laughing. "Gods, you act all shy and then you have jokes like that in you."
"I guess it depends on who I'm with and how comfortable they make me feel."
Lowen's grin threatened to split his face apart. "I'm glad I make you feel comfortable."
I grinned back. "Oh, I'm sure you can make me feel many things..."
"Okay, we're definitely heading inside."

“Isupposeyou don’t want a tour of the house?” Lowen asked as he closed the front door behind us.
“No, I really don’t. Not right now.” Right now, all I wanted was him.
Grinning, Lowen led me to his room. As soon as we entered it, I was reminded of our make-out session in his hotel room, because Lowen was on me just as quickly now as he was then. It was like he just couldn’t wait. I appreciated his enthusiasm—and the feeling of his lips on mine, the scent of his aftershave in my nose… but it did leave me with a problem. I was getting way too hard way too fast.
I wasnotgoing to have a repeat of my hotel room performance.
Somewhat reluctantly, I pushed Lowen off.
“I don’t want to come that fast again,” I said in response to the questions I saw on my dragon’s face. He burst into laughter. The bastard.
“No?” he asked when he was done, a smile still gracing his features.
“No.” I held his gaze to impress on him how serious I was being. “I want to go the whole way.” I hadn’t been able to think about anything else for days.
“Are you su—”
“Don’t ask me if I’m sure. I’m sure. Can’t you see that?” Where were his mind-reading powers now?
His eyes searched the empty air around me. Empty tome, anyway. “All I can see is the desire swirling around you,” he said, eyes darkening as he closed the space between us again to kiss the side of my neck.
I exhaled, wanting to feel his lips all over my body. “Isn’t that enough?”
“I guess it is.” And with that, he slid a hand down to my groin, as if he didn’t know how dangerous that was. A shudder went through me.
“Loweeen.”
“Don’t worry.” He lifted his head to speak into my ear. “I have no problem making you come more than once tonight.”
I shivered at those words and the tone he delivered them in—which left no doubt as to how serious he was. Still, I tried to hang on, biting my lower lip as Lowen’s large hand massaged my erection through the fabric of my pants.
It was insane how good that felt—and how hard it was to not just buck into his hand like an animal in heat.
“Relax,” Lowen said, his mouth still at my earlobe. “You’re safe with me.”
Before I could stop myself, I whimpered. I did feel safe with Lowen, in spite of everything that being with this dragon meant for my future. With Lowen, I felt safe to explore my most forbidden fantasies. “I want you” I rasped as Lowen unbuttoned my pants. “I want more than we did last time.”
“You'll have it.” Lowen’s voice was a low growl in his throat, as if the thought excited him too. It seemed to spur him into action, anyway—he slid his hand under my shirt and I helpfully lifted my arms so he could rid me of it. Thankfully, it was summer and I didn’t have to freeze without my clothes.
Although, I couldn’t imagine ever feeling cold in Lowen’s presence. Especially not with the way he raked his eyes over my naked torso now. Or with the way his hand dipped below the waist band of my pants, teasingly close to where I wanted it most.
“I’m going to take good care of you tonight,” he promised. “I’m going to make you feel so good. Thank you for letting me.”
