I glanced behind him, into the thick woods. "Want to get out of here for a bit?"
"The ceremony starts?—"
I grabbed both of his hands and tugged him toward the woods. "If you've seen one tree-lighting, you've seen them all." That wasn't exactly true. The Santas made each ceremony unique and memorable, but Hart's hour off had already started, and I wanted to make the most of the time we had left.
Hart followed, still looking over his shoulder at the brightly lit city center beneath the city's tallest tree, a Douglas fir hundreds of years old. Darkness washed over us in stages until my dragon was certain we were alone. I didn't stop until I reached the small cave in the heart of the woods.
Hart laughed when he saw where we were. "I had my first kiss here."
I dropped to my knees on the damp stone and shoved him against the wall. "I missed you."
He whimpered. "Kiss me first?"
How could I resist when he asked so sweetly? I pushed myself to my feet and wrapped my arms around him, my dragon so close to the surface, I could taste smoke in my mouth. I kissed him long and deep, sucking on his tongue and savoring the taste of his arousal. It was almost too much. I rubbed my hard cock against his through our pants and groaned. "Need you in my mouth."
"Mm-hmm." Hart caressed my cheek, following me down as I resumed my kneeling position before him. I licked my lips as I unbuttoned his fly and dropped the zipper. In the dark, his underwear appeared to be light gray, but they were probably white. I kissed the dark spot near the head, and he bit down on his palm to stifle a moan. Grinning up at him, I opened my mouth over the spot and sucked him in, cloth and all. He tried to shove his underwear down, but I grabbed his wrists, holding him in place while I worked my mouth over his covered cock until his underwear was damp with my saliva.
"Mine."My dragon rose to the surface again, inhaling our mingled scents and exhaling smoke.
"Fuck, please," Hart whined.
I wanted to make him beg, but we didn't have time. I released his hands and helped him shove his pants to his knees. His cock bobbed free of his underwear, and I sucked it down to the root.
Hart made a strangled sound in his throat as he thrust against me. I relaxed my throat and worked my tongue along the bumps and ridges on the underside of his cock. It was the perfect size for me to hold in my mouth while I rolled his furry balls in my palm.
The scent of his arousal was too much. I released his cock with a pop and lipped my way down with open-mouthed kisses until I reached my destination. Thumbing his taint, I pulled his testicle into my mouth. I loved the rough texture of his wiry hair on my tongue, and the crease of bare skin between the two balls. So it wasn't left out, I sucked the other one into my mouth, too.
Hart tugged on my shoulders. "I'm close."
I wanted to keep going, to see if I could make him come from sucking on his balls, but he sounded desperate. Slipping my hand around them, I tugged on both together. He gasped and fell forward, impaling my throat with his cock. I swallowed around him, and his cock kicked, shooting down my throat.
In no time, his knot filled my mouth, cutting off my air. Thankfully, my dragon took over, shifting just enough to widen my jaw so I could hold him, knot and all, between my teeth and still breathe around him at the back of my throat.
Hart moaned above me, and I met his gaze. "You look amazing like that." He petted my scaled cheek. "I'm going to fantasize about this for the rest of my life."
I chuckled around him, and his cock jerked again.
"What else can you do partially shifted?" he asked.
I winked at him, since I couldn't exactly talk sense with his knot still in my mouth. After a few minutes, his breath returned to normal and his knot deflated. I licked him clean and then released him, returning to my completely human form.
"That was so fucking hot," he said. "I didn't know you could partially shift like that."
"All shifters can, but dragons have more time to perfect it." I rubbed my jaw, and it popped.
"Did I hurt you?"
I grinned. "Not a chance. That was fun."
He tried to step past me, but I grabbed his shoulders and pushed him back against the wall.
"I want to return the favor," he whined.
"You have to go back to work," I reminded him. "I've wanted to do this all week. Thank you for making my little daydream come true."
"I'll find a way to pay you back." He yawned, proving my point. "In January."
"You never have to pay me back." I leaned in but hesitated, not sure if he would want to taste himself. He gripped the collar of my sweater and pulled me down until our mouths collided. There was the passion that had been missing after our first date. It hadn't dimmed. If anything, it had grown since we'd started seeing each other twice a day.
