Her gaze heated as it tracked his body. “You look ready to fight. Your eyes are more like your dragon and I can see scales on your chest.” She giggled. “You look damn hot.”

“I am highly aroused. I need to rut you almost as much as I need my next breath. No, I need it more. I must shower.” He held up his hands. There were also drops of blood on his chest.

Her expression moved to one of disapproval.

“I am sorry it happened but I would do it again without hesitation. You are mine and no one should take you from me.”

She sat up and the sheet pooled around her hips. Her breasts were full and tight tipped. Her nipples a perfect cherry red. Coal growled, the sound was laced with need.

“Poor Torrent. I had… what was the word… renounced you, so according to your rules…”

“I don’t care about rules and lores. They mean nothing. What we have supersedes all of that.”

She huffed out a breath. Her cheeks flushed. “You’re so sweet.” She sighed.

Coal gave a tight smile. “If you knew the things going through my mind right now, you wouldn’t call me sweet. I have to go before I take you like this.” He looked down at himself. “I know how you complain about my savage side.”

“Not when it comes to sex.” She raised her brows and took her lush bottom lip between her teeth.

Coal squeezed his eyes shut and scrubbed a hand over his face. “I’ll be a minute.” His chest heaved with his need for this female. “Don’t move.” He strode to the bathroom and was in the shower in seconds. The water had only just started to heat but he didn’t care. Red washed down the drain.

Coal grabbed some soap and lathered himself. Steam filled the stall. He was just rinsing himself when the door opened.

Julie was a vision. Her face flush with desire. Her lips moist from being licked and chewed. Her body was perfection. Every curve and valley. That thatch of curls between her legs called to him. Screamed to him.

“I couldn’t wait.” Her voice held a husky edge.

Coal grinned. “I was gone for about a half a minute.” He put a hand on either side of the shower, he clutched cold tile to keep himself from lunging at her.

“It was too long. I need you right now. I’m wet and ready.”

Music to his ears. Coal didn’t move. There was a glint in her hand. It was one of the silver foiled condoms. He grit his teeth for a second, trying to find control. “I had planned on taking you slowly. On kissing every inch of your sexy body. Of making slow sweet love to you.”

Julie shook her head.

“No?” he growled.

Julie shook her head again. “No.”

“What do you want then? Tell me.”
