Coal squeezed her hip. His hand felt warm. “I won you. As your protector, I need to ensure that all of your needs are met. All of them, Julie. Right now, you need me to touch and lick you until you come. I may need to ease you more than once.”

Touch.

Lick.

Come.

Yes, please. More than once. Count me in. “Um… I’m good,” she squeaked.

“No, you aren’t. I can scent it. Don’t fight me on this. No sex, you don’t have to touch me in return either. This would be about you.”

Yes, please.

Wait just a minute. She shook her head. “I don’t understand. I mean, why? What’s in it for you?”

“What’s in it for me?” He frowned. “I get to have the enjoyment of making you come. Of hearing your soft moans. Of feeling you tighten around my tongue as you come on my mouth.”

Holy hell!

“I get to taste you. You have a very intriguing scent.”

She did? Oh god. Julie needed to tell him no. The words died in her throat. The dragons had kidnapped her. Coal was going to make her stay here, a prisoner really, for the next few weeks. In that time, he needed to take care of her and if that included plenty of orgasms at the end of his tongue, she was game. How could she say no to that?

She was attracted to him in a big way. So what was the big deal?

No sex and no sleeping together and they were golden.

“Okay.” She blurted before she could change her mind. The sexual tension between them was ridiculous. Only one way to solve it.

“Okay?” He sounded shocked. “You agree?”

“Yes.” She smiled even though her heart beat faster. She never discussed sex, oral or otherwise, in so much detail before actually doing it.

He grinned. “I’m glad we finally agree on something. I’m going to get dressed first.”

Julie had to laugh. “You’re seriously going to dress to make me come, yet will happily walk around naked for no reason?”

He turned serious. “You don’t want us to rut so I will put pants on to ensure that it doesn’t happen. I plan on honoring your wishes.”

“Sure thing.” She wasn’t worried about him taking advantage of her, despite her earlier remarks, she felt comfortable with him.

“Take off your pants and lie down on the bed.” He glanced at her sweats.

“Um… okay.” Julie watched as he walked towards a closet. He took out a pair of the same cotton pants. As he began putting them on, she walked to the bed and laid down. She grabbed the elastic on the sweats she was wearing but couldn’t take them off. This was all just a bit clinical for her.
