Don’t tease me if we’re to focus.
You always boast about being strong. Contain yourself for the next minute or two.
While the clan needed them, he was going to take a few seconds to drive Faye crazy, too.
Grant placed a hand on her back and slowly lowered it until he gripped her arse cheek. Faye sucked in a breath and he smiled. His voice was husky as he murmured, “Two can play that game, lass.” Since Faye had wrapped the blanket around her chest to drape down, Grant released her arse and moved his hand to the edge of the blanket. “Consider this some motivation for telling me your limits and never hiding anything from me that’s important.”
He slowly ran his hand up under the blanket until he reached the juncture between her thighs. He paused to give Faye enough time to tell him to stop. But she remained quiet except for her pounding heart, so he lightly ran his fingers between her folds. He barely restrained a groan at how wet she was. “Faye.”
Rather than beg or whimper, Faye placed her fingers over the outline of his hard cock. Despite the fabric of his trousers between them, her touch sent a jolt of electricity through his body. His dragon was barely restraining himself in the back of their mind.
If a mere touch drove him crazy, what would her lips closed around his cock do to him?
Faye’s voice filled his ear. “Let’s make a deal. Whoever finds the most important information related to stopping the threats will have first go at devouring the other’s body.”
The image of Grant restrained on a bed as Faye took his cock into her mouth filled his mind. His dragon growled. I much rather it be the other way around.
Are you sure? I look forward to Faye teasing us with her tongue.
His dragonwoman’s voice cut through his thoughts. “So? Is it a deal?”
“Fine. But just know that if I win, this is just the beginning.” He lightly brushed the hard little nub between her thighs and Faye leaned more against him. “There’s much we can do without a frenzy, just to make sure you know what you’re getting into.”
As he teased her opening with his fingers, Faye groaned. “Grant.”
“Aye, that’s my name.” Reluctantly, he removed his hand. “Now, let’s get started. The sooner we protect the clan, the sooner I can give you more than a preview of what’s to come.”
Faye leaned another few seconds against his chest, and he wanted to wrap his arms around his female and never let go.
But he needed to stem all temptations from here on out until he finally had the time to make Faye come and scream his name. Merely touching her wasn’t enough for man or beast.
His dragon spoke up. Then why are we standing in the hall? Let’s oversee the two teams investigating the surrounding areas and see what we can find.
Faye finally pulled away and put a few inches between them. After taking a deep breath, she nodded. “Right, let’s go.”
As she swayed her hips and headed toward the exit, Grant memorized every detail. He would use it as motivation. Because if he had his way, Faye would be in his bed within the day.
Chapter Seventeen
In the interest of expediency and to help each of them concentrate, Faye and Grant had each gone with a team to search the surroundings. Since Faye had seen the light in the forest, she was flying at the head of the V-formation of that team.
Even though leading a team for a mission should make her giddy after so many months without, her thoughts kept trailing back to what Grant had done in the surgery’s hallway.
His fingers were rougher and warmer than she’d imagined. And what he did with them, oh boy, that would make her blush if she were in her human form.
Her beast huffed. Why? We’ve slept with men before.
Yes, but it’s different with Grant. There’s attraction, aye, but I’ve also known him my whole life. Combined with his skill as a Protector, and the whole package sets me on fire in a way no other male has before.
You think too much. We just need to win.
So, you’re on the “shag Grant” bandwagon now?
Perhaps. He’s more interesting than I thought. I’ll now accept a few other things besides groveling for him to get into my good graces.
Faye mentally sighed. His poor dragon has no idea what he’s getting into if there is indeed a frenzy.
Her beast sniffed. If he can’t handle me, then he’s not worthy enough to be the father of our child.
