The Draglen Brothers Domlen (BK 6 ) by Solease M Barner (10)


TEMPEST

 

MY ASS HURTS SO FUCKING BAD!  Domlen gave me ten hits on my ass with a fucking paddle and like an idiot, I let him. I should have said no. Better yet, I should have never agreed to come to his home and let him get me naked, handcuffed, gagged, chained and bent over a bed with my ass in the air. I wanted to scream on the first hit. It felt like sharp little needles pricking my ass.

But you want to hear the craziest part? I’m excited he’s going to give me a release. I want to come so bad. My body is craving his touch. I feel like some sort of slut because I’ve been seeing Sam. I know we’re not going together and he hasn’t asked me to be his mate or anything. Hell, he hasn’t even suggested we should be exclusive but still, he does act interested and all possessive. Sam and I have kissed and fooled around a little, but I still can’t stop thinking about Domlen. And worse, I can’t stop myself from wanting the damn sexy dragon. Sam is handsome and seems like a nice guy, plus I always have a good time when I’m with him, but his touch doesn’t make my engine purr, not like Domlen does. I should be disgusted with Domlen’s weird shit and maybe I am a little, but there’s another part of me that loves it.

I feel Domlen’s fingers slide inside my pussy from behind. I’m so damn wet. I probably should be embarrassed, but before he even got to the tenth hit, I could feel my juices flowing down my thighs. I want to scream, YES, DON’T STOP, but I keep my mouth shut, close my eyes and just enjoy his fingers stroking through my wet folds and sliding across my clit. 

It feels wrong, but so good.

“Tempest, clench that sweet pussy around my fingers,” Domlen whispers in my ear.

His voice is like velvet, smooth and rich. I shiver and lift my leg to give him better access. I feel so exhausted yet exhilarated. How is that even possible?

He climbs on the bed next to me and flips me over onto my back. He kisses my breasts and sucks one nipple into his mouth, lashing it with his tongue. He gives me an evil grin and gives equal attention to the other. I guess he heard me when I said I believed in equal opportunities. He trails wet kisses down my stomach and stops when he reaches my mound. He looks up at me with a devilish gleam in his eyes, then slowly leans down and places a soft kiss right on my clit. He slides lower, places one hand on each of my knees and opens them outward, then settles in between my thighs.

Oh, heaven help me! 

He gazes up at me again and whispers, “Look at me, little wolf. I want you to watch what I do to you, mikayo. I want to see you come undone when I make you come.”

And he dives in! He pumps his fingers inside my pussy and lashes my clit with his tongue, alternating between licks and sucks. Oh God! My ass is still stinging but I feel like I’m drowning in pleasure. I feel like a bitch in heat and I want more!

“Please, put it in, Domlen,” I beg.

Where the fuck did that come from?

I’m not sure why I let those words leave my mouth, but I said it. It’s out there and so is my sanity. I think I’ll go crazy if he doesn’t fuck me. He stops and looks up at me, his eyes have changed to those of his beast. What have I done? I want to take it back… tell him I didn’t mean it, but I do mean it. I think I am really crazy. That’s the only explanation. I’m willing to give my purity to a dragon, even though I’m dating the second-in-command of my pack. I must really be some kind of slut.

He drops his head and continues licking my pussy, simply ignoring my words. Now, I not only feel embarrassed, I also feel ashamed.

“Come on my tongue, little wolf. Come for me now,” he commands softly.

And I do. I close my eyes and shatter under his assault. My pussy tightens and clenches around his fingers. I come so hard, I feel like I’m going to pass out. Brilliant flashes of light explode behind the lids of my eyes and I keep coming. I hear someone screaming and realize it’s me.

Domlen makes me feel so satisfied and so desired. I may be a wolf but I’m self-conscious about my body. I don’t like anyone to see me naked, but Domlen makes me feel beautiful, desired and wanted all at the same time. Finally, my muscles begin to relax and I feel myself drifting into a blissful sleep. But I can’t allow myself the luxury, I need answers. 

“Why didn’t you fuck me Domlen?” I’m afraid to hear his answer. I close my eyes to avoid the look of disgust on his face.

“Tempest, I will not fuck a virgin – ever. I never have and I never will. And you don’t want to be fucked by a dragon your first time.”

What? He doesn’t fuck virgins?

I open my eyes and he’s staring up at me but his eyes are no longer those of his beast. They’ve changed back to a brown so dark, they’re almost black. I feel the sting of hurt creep up into my throat and I want cry, but I don’t. I won’t. I should have known this asshole doesn’t have a heart. I just need to go home and forget this awful day ever happened, but first I need to give this asshole a piece of my mind.

“You don’t fuck virgins? Really, Domlen? That’s your excuse? You won’t fuck me because I’m a virgin and you’re a big bad dragon? You’ve known from the beginning I was a virgin. I told you I was a virgin, so why the hell did you keep coming around? Apparently, you went to a lot of trouble to not only find me, but also find out everything about me. You pursued me, Domlen, and then all but kidnapped me. You threatened my family and my pack just to spend time with me. Why would you do that? I may be a virgin but I’m also a wolf and I think you’re using this virgin shit as an excuse. You think you’re better than me because you’re a dragon. Well, guess what? You’re not!”

“Tempest, you don’t understand. I…I…”

“You’re damn right, I don’t understand and I never will. I thought it was because I’m fat, and now you say it’s because I’m a virgin. I don’t know which is worse. I was ready to give you the most important thing I possess – my purity. It was a gift, Domlen, the most precious gift a woman can offer a man, the kind of gift you appreciate and treasure – but you threw it back in my face. I don’t understand what kind of fucked up world you live in, but I’m glad I’m not a part of it. But just so you know, I won’t ever offer it to you again. You will never, ever, ever, touch me again.”

“Tempest, I…”

“No, I’m done, Domlen. I don’t want to hear another word from you. Please, just take me home,” I say, pushing him away to get up. My ass hurts like a bitch, but my healing abilities are kicking in and it’s less painful now. I have to get the hell away from this dragon, pain or not.

“I will keep my promise, but I need to do a few things on my computer before we leave. Do you mind fixing us something to eat?”

What the fuck?

This arrogant asinine asshole wants me to cook for him? I don’t think so.

“I’m not cooking for you, Domlen. This thing between us, whatever it is…was… is over. Take me home now, then you can come back and work on your computer.”

He ignores me and goes to sit at a sleek red glass desk on the other side of the room with a laptop sitting open on top. He has several other devices connected but I’m not even sure what they are.

“I will take you home, but I have something to do first and I’m hungry. I’ll eat whatever you fix; I promise,” he insists.

Asshole! I sigh loudly, then begin picking up my clothes and putting them back on.

“Domlen, I don’t care what you have to do but a deal is a deal. Take me home, now,” I yell.

He looks up at me and his expression is no longer calm.

“Tempest, stop acting like a brat. My sister is missing and I need to check on any leads. So, go to the kitchen and make us some food and once we finish eating, I will take you home.” He glares at me and I flinch from the ferocity of his look. I may not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but I’m not stupid. I know when to jump. I may not ask how high, but I’ll jump.

I can’t believe what I just heard. The famous Princess Beauka of the infamous Draglen family is missing? This is news to me. If she’s missing and he’s looking for her on Earth, that means she’s on Earth. Two dragons on Earth? This is not good at all.

I don’t respond but go and stand in front of the door, waiting for him to unlock it.

“It’s already unlocked, Tempest. But just so you know, the house will not allow you to leave so don’t try my patience,” he says without looking up.

I turn and storm out in search of the kitchen. The tears are stinging my eyes but I refuse to let this asshole see me cry. Even though I’ve been here before, I can’t remember the way. Last time I was here, it ended badly with me ripping apart his home. Yeah, I got spanked for that too. It looks like this visit will be ending badly too. I should have learned my lesson… obviously, I didn’t. I had to let him break my heart. Remember, I did say I wasn’t the sharpest crayon in the box. But you know the old saying: fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. So, I guess I should be very ashamed because I allowed him to fool me twice. 

I open the fridge in search of some food. I wish I could find some pet food to serve him. It’s what he deserves after rejecting me just because I’m a virgin. How dare he! The nerve of that asshole! I never fuck virgins, he says. Well, bully for him! I pull out some cold cuts, cheese and mayo. That’s all he’s getting from me. If he thinks I’m cooking for him, he’s going to be sorely disappointed.

I make eight sandwiches and finally manage to find some pickles and chips. I’m just about to yell for him when I look up to find him staring at me.

“Sandwiches and chips?” He questions.

Remember I said he was an asshole? Yeah, definitely an asshole. I place my hands on my hips and give him the ‘don’t you dare say a thing’ look. He rolls his eyes, stomps over to the bar and starts eating. I may be upset but I can’t help being curious about his sister. Every supernatural creature on Earth knows about the Draglens and has heard about Princess Beauka.

“Did you find anything about your sister? I’m sorry she’s missing, Domlen.” 

He shrugs his shoulder and replies, “I don’t know how she’s doing it, but she’s made it impossible to find her. It’s damn annoying.”

“Well, you found me, so I’m sure you will find her.”

“Yes, but it’s not that simple. You weren’t aware I was searching for you. Also, you weren’t trying to run away. Beauka is making it clear she wants me to back off, but I can’t. I need to know my sister is okay and safe.” I may be furious with this dragon but the look in his eyes seems sincere.

“What have you done to find her?” I ask.

He takes a bite of his sandwich and chews, then stuffs in a few chips as he considers his answer.

“My family owns several security and private investigative companies. We have offices across the globe. I’ve had my agents and spies searching under every rock on Earth and scrambling for any clues, but so far nothing. Every single agent has come up empty and I have no idea what to do next. I’ve hit a brick wall. I need to find her.”

“Maybe she knows you would be looking for her and is trying to hide until your search teams stop looking. If it were me, I wouldn’t show my face until I thought it was safe and could come out without being spotted. It also sounds like she may have someone helping her.”

He nods like he’s considering my words.

“I think you could be right, little wolf. So, you’re saying I should back off and pull back my team to see if she thinks it’s finally safe enough to show herself?”

“Exactly! That’s what I would do. But I don’t understand what all the fuss is over. I don’t know why she’s hiding, but you obviously believe she’s on Earth. She’s a dragon, Domlen, so no one on my planet would be able to hurt her. I think she’s probably safe.”

He rubs his chin thoughtfully. I watch as he considers my words. Domlen is such a handsome male and I can’t deny I wanted him to make love to me. It’s a shame he’s such an asshole. I know dragons are arrogant and conceited. They think they are at the top of the food chain which, thinking about it, they probably are. I was beginning to believe he was different, that he truly thought I was special and desired me, but I was wrong. He’s had his chance with me and he won’t get another. I’ve offered myself to him twice and he’s rejected me each time. I’m done with Domlen Draglen. 

He finishes his sandwiches, then eats the rest of mine. Apparently, nothing affects his appetite. I know this is goodbye and I won’t see him again. I’m surprised at how it makes me feel. It makes me sad but there’s nothing I can do about it.

I’ll never be able to face Sam after what I allowed Domlen to do to me and yes, I said allowed. I wanted him to do it and the worst part, I wanted him to do so much more. I would have given him everything… my body, my purity, and my heart… but he rejected me. I guess it wasn’t meant to be. I want to go home and forget any of this ever happened.

“You’ve finished eating your sandwiches. So, I guess we’re leaving now?” I can’t believe how nervous I feel. Why did I say it like that? I want to go home, don’t I?

“Tempest, you’re the one who demanded to be taken home. I wanted you to stay a couple of days.” 

He’s right, I have been pushing to go home, but I think I’ve changed my mind. For some reason I want to stay a little longer, even though he has rejected me. Maybe it’s because I don’t want to face Sam and my pack. If I go now, they’ll know something happened between me and Domlen and I don’t want that. I know I should leave; it’s the right thing to do. But ever since this arrogant dragon showed up and bought me breakfast, I haven’t been making the best decisions. It may be another bad decision on my part, but what if I do stick around a while longer and torture this arrogant dragon a little. Let him see what he’s missing. Maybe rub his nose in it a little. Yeah, I like that idea. You know what they say, ‘In for a penny…in for a pound.’

“I know I’m the one demanding to go home, Domlen, but what if I’ve changed my mind and want to stay longer.” Please don’t say no. It would crush me if he says no.

He gets up from his seat and walks around the bar, then looks down at me thoughtfully. He steps closer but doesn’t touch me.

“Why would you want to stay?” he asks.

Now he wants me to talk. I could scream. The one time I don’t want to talk, he does. The truth is I’m not sure why, but I do want to stay just a little longer. But I need to tell him something.

“Well, to be honest, I think you need help finding your sister.” LIE! I am such a liar, although maybe not a good one. I’ve never been able to lie to anyone convincingly. I know that’s not the reason but it sounds good, right?

“You don’t know my sister, Tempest. What’s the real reason you want to stay and this time do not tell me a lie.”

“Can’t you just accept that I want to help you?”

“No, little wolf. You’re not telling me the truth.”

“Fine! I want to stay because I like being around you. Happy now?” I snap. 

Why did he want me to say the words? I’m so damn irritated with Domlen and so upset about this whole situation that I don’t even know what I want any more. He turns and heads for the door but stops when he realizes I’m not following him.

“Are you bringing that cute big ass or do I have to throw you over my shoulder and carry you?”

I walk over to him and grin. “So, you think my ass is big but cute?” I tease.

He places one hand behind my back and walks me to his room, but he doesn’t comment about my ass. Maybe he does think my ass is big. I know I’m not a small girl and certainly not what you see in magazines. I’ve always been sensitive about my size. I may be a big girl but I want to be loved just like everyone else. Well, maybe not by Domlen. I don’t think he could love anyone other than himself, except for his family. But I still want love from someone.

Domlen walks over to desk and begins working at his computer again. I assume he’s trying to find his sister. I curl up in the middle of his big bed and try to watch him work. I want to see what he’s doing but I’m so tired. I try to stay awake but soon I feel my eyes drifting shut.

***

I don’t know how long I’ve slept but it must have been a while because I feel rested and refreshed. Domlen is sitting in bed next to me drinking something from a cup. I think it’s tea since that seems to be all he drinks. Me, I prefer coffee and I could certainly use a cup now.

“Good morning, little wolf. So, you finally decided to wake?”

“Ah… morning? I mean, good morning. Do you have any coffee?” I ask.

“I don’t drink coffee, but I’m sure there’s probably some in the kitchen,” he replies.

At some point, Domlen put me under the covers but, thankfully, left on my clothes. I sink beneath the sheet and try to cover my head. I’m a little embarrassed. My hair probably looks horrible. I feel him tugging on the sheet and I peek out.

“Why are you trying to cover yourself?” he frowns.

“I’m sure I look a mess, Domlen. Please don’t make this even weirder for me by asking me why.” I reply, rolling my eyes in annoyance.

“I forget Earth women seem to have such hang-ups about their appearance, always worrying about how they look. You need to get over it, Tempest, at least while you’re here. Your pups may tolerate that kind of behavior but I don’t.” he says arrogantly. He’s such an ass.

“Why don’t you be a gentleman and make me some coffee while I find a bathroom,” I snap.

“Whatever would give you the impression I’m a gentleman, but I did wake you for a reason,” he says, placing his tea on the table next to the bed.

He snatches the covers all the way down and starts unbuttoning my shorts.

“Domlen, what… what are you doing? And you did tell me you were a gentleman, remember?” I stutter.

“You’ve been in my bed all night, little wolf. I’ve smelled your delicious scent and it’s driving me and my beast crazy. Did you know you make the most incredible little sounds while you sleep? It’s the kind of sounds you should only make when someone has their tongue… or their cock… in your sweet little pussy”

I didn’t know I made any sounds when I slept but I do let him remove my shorts and panties. I must be an idiot but I’m curious what he’ll do and I don’t have to wait long to find out. He bends my knees and opens my legs. I try to close them but he pushes them to the side. I allow my legs to fall open, exposing myself completely to him. He looks down at my pussy and stares for several seconds.

“What are you doing, Domlen?”

“What does it look like I’m doing, my lovely little wolf?”

“I…I… don’t know,” I stutter out.

“Just lie back, Tempest, and let me pleasure you.”

He leans down and separates my folds with his thumbs, then places a soft kiss on my clit. He looks back up at me with such lust in his eyes. I know I should protest; I should try to stop him, but I can’t. The words stick in my throat. The truth is I don’t want him to stop. He climbs onto the bed and positions himself between my legs, then lifts my hips and places my ankles over his shoulders. I watch as he slowly leans forward and starts licking my pussy. It feels so good but it gets even better when he places two fingers inside me and begins pumping them in and out. He sucks my nub into his mouth and tugs. I feel my muscles contract as my pussy tightens around his fingers. He keeps lashing my pussy with his tongue until I explode. I scream and come all over his mouth and face. My legs are shaking uncontrollably as my entire body trembles beneath his touch. How the hell does he keep doing that? I can’t control myself around this man. 

He lifts my legs and gently places my hips back on the bed, then pulls away and stands. I can see the outline of his cock through his pants and it’s hard… and big, but he just reaches down and adjusts himself and walks to the door.

“I’ll make you some coffee, little wolf, but you need to hurry to the kitchen. I have an idea,” he says over his shoulder and walks away.

I sit up and look around for my shorts. I don’t understand what just happened. Why did he give me another orgasm? He didn’t even ask me to touch his dick. I know he said he wouldn’t fuck a virgin but he didn’t say anything about oral sex. Obviously, he doesn’t object to licking my pussy so he could have asked me to suck his cock… but he didn’t. Why? He’s made it very clear he wouldn’t fuck me, but I get the feeling he doesn’t want me to be with anyone else either. He has to know we can’t go on like this. What is up with this damn dragon?

I put my shorts back on and force my body to start moving. My backside is still a little sore but much better. I do feel a little weak but I’m sure I’ll feel better once I eat. I really need a cup of coffee. I make my way to the bathroom and try to freshen up as best I can. My hair looks a right mess but there’s nothing I can do about it. I finish quickly and go to the kitchen to find Domlen has prepared breakfast – a full breakfast. My stomach rumbles loudly from the delicious smell of the bacon, eggs and even pancakes. Yum!

“Please take a seat at the bar, Tempest.”

I walk over and sit, swinging my legs like I did when I was a child. I don’t understand why but I feel so playful and mischievous when I’m around Domlen.

Domlen hands me an empty plate and waves his hand at the food. I place a little of everything on mine but I don’t want to act like a pig. Domlen looks at what I have and puts more on my plate, then takes the rest for himself.

We eat in silence. There are so many questions I’d like to ask but I don’t. Domlen seems distracted so I keep my mouth shut.  After we finish he speaks.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said… you know, about my sister hiding and I think you could be right. Maybe I need a fresh perspective, another pair of eyes that can be more objective…like you, Tempest. I was wondering if you would like to help me find her?”

My eyes widen in shock. I know it may seem like an honor for Domlen to trust me enough to help him, but this isn’t good. I know I said I wanted to help, but that was just an excuse to stay a little longer to keep from having to face everyone at home. As far as I know, the mysterious Princess Beauka has never been to Earth. No, I take that back. I think I did hear about her being in New Orleans once with her family but only for a very short time. I have heard stories, lots of stories, about her. It’s said she’s the cruelest of all the Draglens. I’ve also heard she’s part witch. No, I don’t mean she has a witchy personality, although I hear she has that too. I mean a real witch with magic who makes potions and uses them on anyone she wants to harm… which could be me if I agree to help Domlen. If I help him locate her and she finds out, I’ll be the first one she kills. I really like Domlen and I enjoy his kisses and especially the orgasms, even his cooking but I don’t really want to die for him. Well, not just for him. I don’t want to die for anyone. Although, if I agreed, it would give me an excuse to spend more time with him. Nope, not worth the risk.

“I...uh…I’m not sure I should, Domlen. What could I do?” I stutter.

“All you would have to do is what I say, but it would require you staying until she is found,” he replies quickly… a little too quickly.

Crap! Who knows how long that could be? Domlen is a lot older than I am and he doesn’t live on this planet. His idea of time could be a lot different from mine. Besides, even though I wasn’t ready to go yesterday, it might be for the best if I get the hell out of here. I don’t want to get more involved with Domlen. He has everything to gain and I have everything to lose, including my heart. The asshole won’t even make love to me. 

“Domlen I think my presence here is confusing for both of us. We each have lines we aren’t prepared to cross. I’m not sure what I could do to help you. I don’t especially like this ‘do as I say’ thing. I think you’re just yanking my chain, trying to get me to march to your music so you can control me. This isn’t a good idea. I think I just need to go home. We both go our separate ways and never the two shall meet again. You won’t see me and I won’t see you – ever again.”

It physically hurts me to say the words but I know it’s what I need to do. I have no idea why Domlen is doing this but I can’t stay here any longer. It’s just too painful. I need to forget about Domlen Draglen. I did what he wanted and he did promise never to bother me again. I should go home and try to repair my relationship with Sam. It’s for the best. It’s time to go.

He walks over to the fridge, pulls out a carton of milk and starts drinking, never allowing his eyes to leave mine. And no, he didn’t use a glass, he drank straight from the carton. Ugh! That’s just like a man but damn if he doesn’t look sexy doing it. Tempest, stop! You can’t keep thinking of him as sexy!

Domlen puts the milk back in the frig, stalks over to me and says, “I don’t like to be told no, Tempest, but you do it a lot, which I find…interesting. But, I am who I am.”

“What the hell does that mean, Domlen?”

“It means I don’t like the word no and won’t accept it. I warned you I’m a greedy dragon and I am. I respect your little speech but no, you’re not going home. Anyway, I don’t think you really want to go home. I need you to use your beautiful little head and help me locate my sister. Besides, I think you owe me.” He makes sure to emphasize the last sentence.

“Owe you? I don’t owe you shit, Domlen. And for your information, my no means no, you… you -”

“Don’t you do it, Tempest. If you call me that name again, I’m going to start thinking about a harsher punishment.” He glares at me and I can see he’s serious.

The bastard! I growl and try to step back, but he reaches out and grabs me, wrapping me tightly in his arms. God, this man is like the Hulk. I’m a wolf and stronger than a human, but he’s freaking strong, like Iron Man strong. 

“What do I owe you?” I snap. I’m tired of thinking I have any control in this situation and then he jerks it away. This dragon does not let up at all.

“I have not received any release, and I’ve given you two… no wait, three.”

And there it is!

“I offered my body to you but was rejected, remember? So, I don’t think I owe you anything. Take me home, you control freak. If you want a release, you can find it somewhere else. I’m not giving you shit,” I yell.

“Be very careful what you say, Tempest. I can get pleasure on Earth just as easily as I do on my planet,” he says angrily. 

“Take me home, right damn now. I mean it, Domlen.”

“I’m not taking you home until I’m ready.”

“YOU ARE A LIAR! YOU PROMISED! REMEMBER ASSHOLE?” I scream in his face.

He releases me suddenly and stares down at me with… I don’t even know. Hurt maybe? Regret? I think I finally get a glimpse of the real Domlen, the man behind the hard shell he portrays to everyone. He quickly reaches inside his pocket and takes out his travel thingy. Hey, don’t judge! I don’t really know what the damn thing is. I only know that sometimes, I’d like to ram it up his ass. He pulls me close and before I can blink or change my mind, we’re off.

We land inside my bedroom and he releases me from his hold. My head is still spinning and I stumble forward. I reach out to keep from falling and before I can even open my mouth, he disappears. My house feels so quiet and empty. I know I should let Corbin know I’m back home but I’m not ready to talk about any of this with him or Sam. I’m so confused, so I do the only thing I can…. I crawl into bed and cry myself to sleep.

***

My sheets feel cool on my overheated skin. I know I need to wake up but I’m too comfortable. I just want to stay in bed and forget everything that’s happened. I stretch and start to open my eyes when I hear someone clear their throat. What the hell? Surely, it’s not Domlen again. I’m afraid to see who it is. I don’t feel like facing anyone. I turn my head and see a pair of anxious blue eyes staring back at me. Crap! It’s Sam. I want to crawl under the covers and disappear. I don’t think I can face him.

“Temp, please wake up. I’ve been going crazy.” I sit up slowly and blink several times, trying to clear my head. Sam is standing next to the bed looking frazzled.

“Hi, Sam. I guess you’ve been worried, huh?” I say, trying to make light of the situation.

“Worried is an understatement, Temp. Why didn’t you let anyone know you were back?” he asks.

Good question. Maybe because I didn’t want you to know so I could avoid this.

“I just wanted to sleep. I’d planned on coming to see you soon as I was awake.”

“Well, you’re awake and since I’m already here, you don’t need to come see me. I need to know what’s going on between you and that dragon. Or maybe the better question is what happened between you and him?” He takes a seat in the end of my bed and gives me that look. You know, the one that says, don’t you dare lie to me because I’ll know if you’re being honest. Yeah, that look.

But I can’t tell Sam the truth. I can’t tell him what I did with Domlen or that I enjoyed it. Even though we argued, I still enjoyed it. I can’t bring myself to do it. Sam would hate me. So, I do what women have been doing since the beginning of time, I lie. Don’t you dare judge me. Even Eve, the first woman, lied to her mate. 

“There’s nothing to worry about, Sam. I’m home and I won’t be leaving again. He promised to leave me alone, He won’t be back,” I say simply, all the while hoping... hoping for what? I don’t know anymore.

He looks at me and rakes his hand through his hair like he’s frustrated. I hate being the cause of his frustration, but I don’t understand any of this myself. All my life, I’ve never fit in with the other female wolves and the male wolves seemed to want nothing more than just friendship. Well, except for that one guy who was just a creepy stalker. Now I have the Beta of our pack standing in my bedroom saying he’s worried about me. And let’s not forget, I also have a devilish dragon who enjoys spanking my ass. Ouch! And speaking of my butt, it’s still sore.

“What did he do to you to make that promise?” Sam narrows his eyes and they flash to those of his beast. I lean forward to touch him but he flinches away from me.

“I’m not going to hurt you, Sam.”

“I know you’re not going to hurt me, but you smell like him, Temp.” He sighs and stands, then starts pacing in front of my bed.

“I’m sorry, Sam. I don’t want you to worry.”

He stops pacing and turns toward me. “Did he have anything to do with why you ran out on me the other night? Because I’ve been doing some thinking and it seems like he wants you, and after what he did last time… I mean, do you like him? Did you and that dragon… you know… do anything? Are you still a virgin? Shit, I need to know, Temp.”

I look at Sam and I really see him, maybe for the first time ever. And in that moment, I know, Sam is the safest guy for me. I should never have offered myself to Domlen. It was a mistake and I will never do it again. I’ll move on with my life. It may not turn out to be with Sam but hopefully it’ll be free of dragons.

“First, I want you to know I’m still a virgin, Sam. Second, the reason he allowed me to leave and promised to let me go is because I gave him several ideas on how to find his missing sister. I’m not going to lie, we did kiss but I felt nothing. So now, you need to tell me where we stand with each other, because I really want to forget all of this dragon stuff.”

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Yes, I’m a liar and a horrible person. I‘ll admit it, but not to Sam. I lied and lied again to cover the first lie. The only true words out of my mouth is that I’m still a virgin. I’m going straight to hell but I want to see if this thing with Sam could be something special. Maybe we could make each other happy.

He walks back over to my side and grins down at me. Sam is so sexy when he smiles. I jump out of bed and give him a hug.

“Tempest?”

“Yes, Sam?”

“You really need to take a bath. You smell like that damn dragon and I hate it.”

“I’ll go take a shower, but can you have some breakfast ready for us.”

“Yes, baby. I think I can do that.” Sam heads to the kitchen, whistling all the way. I hurriedly go shower, rinsing all evidence of Domlen from my body… along with all my feelings for him. I must forget about Domlen and give Sam a chance. Sam is a really good guy and he makes me laugh, plus he’s never spanked my ass which is a bonus in my book.

I can only hope Sam lets it go. The time I spent with Domlen was wonderful but it will never happen again. I just want to forget I ever met Domlen Draglen. What we did together will remain my secret forever.

I dress and go to the kitchen to eat breakfast with Sam, pushing thoughts of Domlen completely out of my mind.

***

It’s been two weeks and I haven’t been bothered by dragon boy. I think of him a little less every day. Sam and I are about to take that step where I finally go all the way with him. He doesn’t know my plans, but I think I want to give him my purity. Domlen sure as hell doesn’t want it. Sam is gentle, loving, funny, and seems to genuinely care about it. I could not ask for a better guy. Besides, I can’t keep giving him blue balls. That’s what he jokingly calls it and says he’s been having them every night.

We’re on our way over to Corbin’s house. I was in deep shit with Corbin when I returned. He asked more detailed questions than Sam, but I was strong even though it was hard to lie to my Alpha.

Now he’s having a pre-full moon party. The entire pack will be here.  We’ll party all day and night and when the full moon is at it’s peek, we’ll all shift and run, except for Dawn. She’s the Alpha female of our pack and Corbin’s mate, but since she’s human she can’t shift.,

The party is in full swing when Sam and I arrive. Everyone knows we’re a couple and now I get the respect I never received before. There are some wolves who want to be my best friend and others who hate my guts.

“Baby, go fix yourself something to eat, I want you strong tonight. I’m going to chase you,” Sam teases.

I laugh and walk to the back where I see tons of steaks hitting the grill. They usually throw them on just long enough to warm each side but I love steak so it doesn’t really matter to me how they’re cooked. 

“Hi, Temp. Are you nervous about tonight?” Dawn asks, handing me a drink.

“Why would I be nervous?” I ask, taking a sip.

“Corbin says this is the first time you and Sam have run as a couple and he’s going to want to pound you in wolf form.” Dawn is outspoken like me. She may not be a wolf but she should have been. She’s a natural leader and handles our pack well.

I’ll admit, I hadn’t given it much thought but now I think I understand why Sam said he’s going to chase me and I also think I know what Dawn meant. Shit, this might be weird. I’ve seen other male wolves chase a female down and they end up behind the bushes howling.

“Well, I wasn’t nervous but I am now, but Sam will have to catch me first and I’m fast.”

“He’s the second-in-command. You know, he’s going to catch you, girl,” Dawn giggles.

I pull a plate off the table with a fresh off-the-grill steak and start eating. I’m starving, but that’s normal on a full moon. Maybe I should make tonight special for me and Sam. 

“Dawn, do you think you could do me a favor while we are out on our run?”

“You know Corbin doesn’t like me to go anywhere while he’s on a full moon run. Afterwards, he comes home and attacks me, literally. I love it,” Dawn confesses.

“I’m trying to get it ready so I can attack Sam, if you know what I mean.”

Her eyes get big and she lurches forward, giving me a big hug.

“Okay, Temp, I’ll help a sister out. I’ll make sure your place is ready to have buck wild sex.”

“Buck wild sex?” I ask.

“Yes, and you’ll know exactly what I mean when it happens. You will love it when you feel him pumping inside you. Baby, get ready to have your life changed. You’re going to want his dick all the time.”

OH MY GOD! I can’t believe the words coming out of Dawn’s mouth. She’s outspoken like me but heaven forbid, I’ve never heard her talk like this before. I think I love it.

“Well, I’m ready. My body feels like it’s about to explode from all this sexual tension. I hope I don’t disappoint him.”

“I’m sure you won’t, Temp. Just remember to suck his cock until he screams. He’ll be putty in your hands,” she says giggling, snorting her drink out of her nose. Dawn is so funny.

I turn and see Sam dancing to the music. He blows me a kiss and my insides melt. I think I may be losing my virginity tonight.
