“I trust my instincts, Alice. I’ve been fighting them since the moment you agreed to be my wife.” He closed the distance between them, pushed her head back to give him the right angle to her mouth, and he fused their lips together in a passionate kiss.
He reached around to cup her bare ass, his hands gripping her globes to crush her body into his. He growled into the kiss, deepening it with his tongue. He explored her mouth, and it was only when the sound of ripping material echoed in the room that she realized he had ripped her thong. The scrap of underwear fell to the ground, and she moaned, melting into his arms. “Cooper.”
He chuckled. “I’m a fucking billionaire dragon, Alice. I can buy you two hundred pairs if you want. I can get you a different pair for every day of the year.”
“That’s not necessary. Just don’t ruin any more of my delicates,” she giggled.
He smiled at her. “I make no promises about that, love. You’re way too delicious for me to resist.”
“If you say so,” she laughed. “So those instincts have been clamoring for me since yesterday?”
Cooper didn’t answer her question. Instead, he continued to kiss her as they stripped him out of his suit. He wasn’t wearing boxers, but Alice wasn’t shocked by this. Most shifters wore as little clothing as possible because their garments were always ruined when they shifted into their animals.
“I’m gonna be so damn annoying, but I need to ask again. Are you sure that you want to do this?” Cooper seemed to be holding his breath as he waited for her to answer, but there was no way Alice was backing out now. She wanted her husband about as much as he wanted her.
“I want this, Cooper. I want you. You’re not like other men, and I trust you.” She could easily have addedtrust you enough, but she didn’t want to hurt his feelings. She wouldn’t want to wound Cooper…even with words…because he was a man of his word. He said he owed her a life debt, and he was abiding by it like a champ.
“Trust?”
“You’re surprised?”
“Yes, but pleasantly. It’s good to know my wife trusts me.”
“It would be foolish not to trust you. There aren’t many people…men and women alike…out there who would even make a life debt, let alone actually go through with it. It says a lot about you.”
“And I’m cute, too, right?” he nuzzled her neck, kissing and nibbling his way along.
“The cutest,” she replied. “But also maybe a little in need of reassurance.”
“Can you blame me?” He chuckled when she cupped his balls.
“Can you blameme?”
“Oh, wife, I love that mouth.” He pressed his lips to hers, his hands gently stroking up and down. When Cooper began to kiss his way down her body, Alice moaned in anticipation, her skin burning in need. “Look at that,” Cooper marveled at the little star shape tattoo on one of her hips. “When did you get that done?” he pressed a kiss to the ink.
“I must have been twenty. I wanted to do something different for my birthday one year, so I decided to get that done.”
“It’s very sexy, love.You’revery sexy.” He skipped over her sex to kiss her thighs, and Alice huffed out a breath. Noticing, Cooper chuckled. “Is this what you want?” he kissed her mound.
“At least you’re getting warmer,” she teased.
“Oh, love, it’s about to get a hell of a lot hotter in here.”
True to his word…as he always seemed to be…Cooper spread her legs wide and increased the temperature in the room significantly. Or maybe it was simply the feel of his tongue on her clit that made her skin burn. Cooper used his tongue, lips, and fingers to toy with her sex. He teased her clit with his finger before pulling it into his mouth and dragging his tongue against it in slow licks. Her husband knew where to touch, where to press, where to kiss, and where to lick.
All too soon, Alice’s pleasure was overwhelming her senses. She arched into his waiting mouth, taking all the pleasure her Cooper could give her. Her fingers dug into his hair as her body tightened and finally snapped in perfect abandon. She cried out his name, holding on to him until her breathing settled. Cooper started to kiss his way back up to her, his eyes burning for her.
He dragged the head of his cock against her entrance, teasing her sensitive clit in slow circles. Alice’s breath caught as the sensation burned down to her core. The touch was delicious, but it wasn’t enough. She wanted him. Badly. Deeply.
“Cooper,” she moaned. “Please.”
“Shh, love. Let me enjoy this moment. I’ve been wanting to do this since Portia introduced us.”
“What?” she gasped.
He leaned over her, his body covering hers. “The second I laid eyes on you, I wanted you. Do you not know how beautiful you are, Alice?”
Her face flushed. Was her husband giving her a compliment? It sure sounded like it. “Thanks,” she whispered.
