Chapter Five
Mia wasn’t sure that what she’d just seen was real or not. It seemed real. It was shocking. Her insides were a fearful mess. But she didn’t want to run away. She stayed looking at him, standing there naked in front of her. Strong muscles twitched from whatever that change was, and yet he was vulnerable at the same time. She could tell that what he’d just shown her had taken courage. It was a risk, a risk that she would turn away.
I’m scared at what I don’t know. Her mind tried to process what had just happened. A man changing into a dragon and back again was something she didn’t even know was possible until just now. Argo standing back in his human for was something more familiar, and a reminder of how much she really wanted to get to know him, not just sexually.
She tentatively stepped closer to him. “I prefer you in your human form.”
He breathed out heavily. “But my dragon form is part of who I am.”
“Yes, and I want to know your dragon side, but first I need to get to know you, in this form, because it’s too much all at once.”
“Really, you don’t want to run away? I could tell you were scared.”
She reached up and kissed him on the lips. They were delightfully hot. His mouth moved with hers. She moved her hands up his back, dancing her fingertips on his skin, enjoying how it prickled under her touch.
“I’m scared. But, it’s just about what I don’t know. I’m not scared of you.”
“Not every day you see a man change into a dragon.”
Mia laughed softly. “No. And please don’t show me again. At least not for a while.”
“Hmm, sounds like you’re planning on hanging around.” He brushed his nose along hers. She enjoyed the feel of his skin, and it slowly awoke the desires that had been rocked after witnessing the transformation. Somehow, he managed to burn out the tension within her, make her feel safe and trust him.
“Maybe.” She winked at him. She didn’t want to make it too easy for him.
“So I have you for how long?”
“Tonight. Maybe tomorrow.”
He smiled, realizing she was teasing. “I get it. Playing hard to get.”
“I’m guessing you like a bit of that.”
“Not with you.” He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her tightly to him. His mouth was on hers, and she felt the change in energy between them. “I want to get to know you, too. Starting with here right now.”
He gently pushed her mouth open with a passionate kiss, taking away any response she might have had. She could feel herself willingly give over to him. She couldn’t resist. She’d been doing that during the drive here, worrying about what he had to show her, that she wouldn’t like it. And she hadn’t. But then here she was with him, kissing him, running her hands over his back, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Her heart had spoken, even though it was so soon. He was hers to have, and she could feel that it would be for the future. But now she was going to allow herself some more pleasure.
His hands pulled at her t-shirt. She moved her arms from around him and helped take the top off. He rested his hands on her hips, and she shivered, feeling him so close for the first time. Last time had been so quick she hadn’t gotten this level of enjoyment. His thumbs moved back and forth, gliding over her skin, a simple gesture that elicited so much from her.
She could feel his hardness press into her belly with a need that matched her own. Her hands wrapped around him, holding him closer, and she nestled into his chest, enjoying the power and strength that oozed from him and embraced her.
His hands moved upwards, feeling her back, leaving a trail of heat. His hands were soft but left a powerful sensation of desire on her skin. They moved up to her shoulder blades, then down, quickly, slipping over her buttocks and grasping them tightly. Sounds of pleasure came from her mouth. He massaged his hands into each buttock, pulling them apart and upwards, stimulating more pleasure from her body. She held on tight to him to keep her balance, until he released his grip, his hands returning to the small of her back in soft, circular motions.
She dragged her tongue along his smooth chest, over his carved muscles. His saltiness burst erotically on her taste buds. She drew along his muscles lines, with licks and little kisses, getting to know the shape of his body, while her hands stroked along his back.
He equally explored her body, slipping his hands over the sides of her ribs, cupping her breasts, squeezing gently until she gasped with pleasure. He traced his fingers over the lacy material, flicking her hardening nipples. Her breath quickened with the spike in need pulsing through her body. It was getting harder to keep her mind as the sexual bliss filled her. There was so much more she wanted to explore with him, but he seemed to want to know her body more and how she responded.
With one hand he traced the edge of the lace over her breast, and with his other hand he wrapped around her and held her close. Her muscles clenched low in her abdomen, the need winding tightly within her, along with the expectation that there would be a release at some point. He was certainly taking his time.
He pulled the lace back to expose her breast, then ran his thumb over her nipple. It hardened further, aching with an increased need. Juices thickened between her legs, and she held her breath in anticipation. His fingers playfully pinched her nipple. She moaned sharply, her eyes closing to fully enjoy the sensations he drew from her. She pushed her hips into him, his hard cock pressing into her belly.
Gracefully, he unclipped her bra, and the material slipped forward. She moved her shoulder to let it fall down her arms, leaning backwards, allowing him full view of her assets. He groaned with pleasure.
“You’re beautiful.”
Then he clasped his mouth on her breast, sucking passionately into her softness, pulling away only to play his tongue over her hard nipple, causing pulses of pleasure to rip through her. She held on to his biceps while he teased her with his mouth and tongue. Then ever so gently he dragged his teeth over the tip of her breast and nipple.
“Oh God.” Pain and pleasure bolted through her.
He laughed softly. “I thought you might like that.”
She could only groan in response as he kissed her nipple, easing the mix of pleasure and pain.
His kisses intensified, moving down along her belly, then lower. He pushed down her tight-fitting skirt, revealing her lacy black panties. He pressed his mouth into her mound, his moisture dampening the thin material and seeping through to her skin. She moved her hands up his shoulders, then head, playing them in his hair, as he pressed his tongue into her slit through the material.
He went down on his knees fully, pushing her panties aside. Then he kissed at the top of her mound, cheekily slipping his tongue down between her folds. He groaned with her. She tangled his hair with her fingers to keep herself steady as the pleasure built within her, sending her mind dizzy. He worked his tongue expertly, long strokes along her length, deep into her entrance, then back up in tight circles at her sweet spot. She could feel herself tipping over into an orgasm. Her muscles were clenching tighter, more rapidly, her breath shallow and quick, and the sounds she made were sharper and more uncontrollable.
“I want you in me,” she said breathlessly.
He ignored her, playing his tongue harder and faster over her pleasure spot, until she groaned long and deep, her knees partly giving way as the orgasm ripped through her in a bolt of pleasure.
“Oh.” She gasped, trying to regain some sort of composure.
“Finished?” He looked up at her, eyes a brilliant gold color.
“Never.” She took a deep breath savoring the ripples of the orgasm. “I need to give you some pleasure.”
“Trust me, you are.”
He pushed down her skirt and panties. “That’s better.” He kissed her briefly between her legs. “Did you want to go inside the hut?”
She shook her head. “I’ve waited too long for this.” She knelt on her skirt and faced him. “But I want you inside of me.”
First, she wanted to taste him fully. She ran her hands down his chest, over his hips, close to his cock. He was hard, ready. But she wanted to feel him more this time. She wanted to get to know every part of his body and enjoy it.
She danced her fingers through his dark, curly pubes. His cock pulsed in anticipation. Wrapping her fingers at the base, she pulled gently along his length, feeling his muscles contract. He was hot in her hand, his skin burning with desire. She leaned forward, taking him in her mouth to his full length. His testosterone flavor delighted her. She sucked hard as she pulled back, causing him to groan heavily. She played her tongue in his tip, savoring the drop of liquid that oozed out from her touch. She moved along his length, taking him fully into her mouth, then sucking as she pulled back, repeating the processes as she moved her hand over his testicles, squeezing them gently, enjoying the sounds he made from her touch. His balls tightened, and she pulled away, releasing him from her mouth, not wanting him to come yet.
“You tease.”
“Takes one to know one.” She smiled at him, then shoved him on his shoulders. He fell back on his knees, the surprised look on his face priceless, and that encouraged her. She straddled him, as he quickly adjusted his position, lying back on the ground.
His hands wrapped around her waist, resting pleasantly as she moved to position his cock at her entrance. Then she eased herself down, groaning as his cock pushed apart her sensitive muscles. Still heightened from her orgasm, she found her rhythm easily, feeling him inside of her, rocking him in and out, slowly at first, then gradually faster. She could see his breathing change and could feel his pleasure mixing with hers.
They began to move as a unit, as one, building the tension, harder and faster until they both couldn’t resist anymore, and their bodies contracted together, bursting with the desire they had both held back, enjoying how it wrapped around them, drawing out the pleasure for longer until they were both pleasantly exhausted in each other’s arms.
Mia nestled her head on his chest. He wrapped his around her as they lay in the bliss they had created. The fire crackled gently nearby, the heat adding to theirs and lulling them both into a deep sleep.
****
Mia woke with a shiver. It took a moment to work out where she was. Outside, in the arms of a sexy, hot man, at the start of the winter. I’ve lost my mind.
She tried to move without waking Argo, but he stirred.
“You’re still here,” he mumbled, half asleep.
“Of course I am.”
His eyes flicked wide open, and he sat up a little. “Of course you are.” He pulled her close to him and kissed her gently on the mouth. His taste was beginning to feel so familiar, Mia wasn’t starting to think that she wouldn’t be able to live without it.
She shivered.
“I’m not looking after you well.”
“You are.” She reached over for her clothes. They were dusty and dirty, and weren’t going to keep her warm.
“Wait a bit.” Argo got up and rushed to the car. He came back with two blankets. He put one on the ground, then wrapped the other around Mia.
“What about you?”
“I’ll be back.” He winked, then went over to the fire. He used his breath to get it going. This time Mia wasn’t at all scared. It was as if this was the most natural thing he could do.
“You’re getting used to me.” Argo sat down next to her, and she opened her blanket to share with him.
“I am.” She gazed into his eyes. They were more dark brown today, but with a glint of gold. They hadn’t used protection last night. It was reckless, but then it was almost as if it was normal, like the next step, even though they barely knew each other. It was then she knew she’d given her heart to him. He’d already done that when he showed her who he really was when he changed into a dragon. “And I want to keep getting to know you.”
He kissed her on the cheek. “And I you.”
The warmth from the fire began to reach them, but she snuggled in closer to Argo.
“But I have to ask, better now than later, what about my dragon side?” There was dread in his tone.
Sometime during the night she’d made up her mind for sure. Or at least her mind became in line with her heart. But it went deeper than that. This attraction to him wasn’t something she could control. “I want to get to know all of you. That includes dragon and human.”
Argo pushed a strand of hair back from her face. “You mean it.”
“Yes.” Her heart skipped a beat.
He smiled. “I heard that.”
“What?”
“Your heart missing a beat.”
“Cliché. Really?” She was intrigued to know more about Argo, and what it was like to be a dragon shifter.
“I liked it.”
“I wish I could hear your heart skip a beat.”
“Come here.” He kissed her softly, slowly, like they had been lovers for years and not just a week. He put her hand on his chest.
Mia smiled. She could feel the rhythm. It was quick, and somehow, she knew it was because of her.
“There’s something else I need to tell you.”
Mia held her breath. She didn’t like hearing the hesitation in his voice.
“I’ve imprinted on you.”
“What the hell does that mean?”
“My soul has chosen you as my mate, for life.”
“That doesn’t sound so bad.” She nestled closer to him.
“It means I can’t be separated from you. But also you need to imprint on me.”
“How the hell do I do that?”
He sighed heavily. “It’s hard to explain. It sort of happens naturally. I guess. It’s like soul mates, but more.”
“Like we are twin flames.”
“Yeah, that our souls recognize it and partly join, keeping us as mates until death.”
“Wow, this is bigger than marriage vows.”
“And just because I’ve imprinted on you doesn’t mean you’ve imprinted on me. You get to choose.”
“If I say no?”
“Then I’ll leave, go crazy, and eventually kill myself.”
“I don’t like the sound of that.”
“Me either.”
“I’ve slept with you. Isn’t that imprinting?”
“It’s nothing to do with physical attraction. It’s deeper, like I can’t stand being away from you.”
Mia nodded. She was starting to recognize the feeling within her.
“Then I’ve imprinted on you.” This whole imprinting thing that Argo had explained made sense. Something within her had recognized that he was her twin flame, that they belonged together, as a couple, and as lovers. Part of their souls had intertwined, joining them as lifetime mates
He kissed her passionately. In the security of the Blue Mountains they both committed to each other, sealing the imprinting process.
“So this means we’re going to have to work out how we’re going to live together,” said Mia.
“Yes. I plan on seeing you every day.”
Mia laughed gently. “I got a business to run.”
“You work too hard, so weekends you can take off. And at least once during the week, maybe twice.”
“But when will I do my accounts?”
“I’ll come over and do them for you.”
“I’m sure you’ll be more likely doing me than my accounts.”
“Fuck yeah.” He kissed her gently, pulling away from her mouth slowly. “I’m good with numbers. It won’t take me long, and then we will have plenty of time to spend getting to know each other more.”
“I can’t wait to share the future with you,” said Mia.
“Me too.” He held his hand over hers on his chest. “And know that I’m fully committed to you, to us.”
She could feel a little skip in the beat of his heart. Mia stared into his eyes. They were more golden now. “And I you.”
The End
