The Snow Dragon's Mate Read online

  Roman frowned like he was worried about me. “I know it’s a lot to take in.”

  “I’d like to take Kymar into me.”

  He rolled his eyes. “Aren’t you the least bit concerned, or scared, or disbelieving, or just something?”

  Was I? Should I be? All I felt was excitement. “No. I know I’m probably dreaming.” Because dragons? Really? “But either way, this is incredible. Do you really think Kymar will take me home with him?”

  Roman looked at me like I’d lost my mind. “You came here because you were worried about me, and now you want to fly off to who knows where with a man you just met?”

  I did. I wanted to go anywhere he’d take me as long as I got a taste of him. I’d never deep-throated a cock that big, but I was totally up for the challenge.

  Roman continued protesting my recklessness until Laszlo and Kymar came into the room, then his dragon had his full attention. And Kymar had mine. He’d put on some gray dress pants and a blue sweater that matched his eyes, which were a paler blue than his scales. The color was also perfect for accentuating his golden skin and rich brown hair. He looked almost as delicious dressed as he did naked.

  Laszlo whisked Roman off, and Kymar approached me. His gaze bore into mine as he moved closer. I wanted to say something or do something, but I was frozen in place, heart pounding. I’d been with gorgeous men before, even ones who exuded the kind of dominant air Kymar had, but I’d never been so absolutely captivated by anyone. I truly wondered if there was anything he could ask of me that I wouldn’t do.

  “Am I wrong in thinking you were on your way out when I arrived?”

  I shook my head. My mouth was suddenly too dry to speak.

  “But now you’re going to stay?”

  My head moved up and down. Fuck, he was going to think I was an idiot.

  “Good. Laszlo informs me he and his mate intend to decorate this tree.” He gestured toward the large Christmas tree that, as far as I could tell, already had plenty of ornaments on it. “Would you like to help?”

  “D-decorate?”

  “Yes.” His hand skimmed along my arm, and his eyes darkened and shimmered like his scales.

  I wanted to decorate him with my cum, but as long as I got to be near him, that would do for now.

  Laszlo and Roman opened box after box of glass ornaments. Roman had told me that was how they’d met. Laszlo had come into the shop where Roman worked to buy the ornaments, then he’d taken Roman home as well.

  Kymar and I each took an ornament, but I nearly dropped mine when he brushed against me as we both reached toward the tree. He took it from me, hung it, and then led me away. I shivered when he cupped my face and leaned in close, warm breath tickling my ear. “You know what I’d rather do?”

  I shook my head, but I hoped fuck me was the answer.

  “I’d rather cover you in ornaments. Diamonds, emeralds, sapphires.”

  “Your scales look like sapphires.” I realized how dopey that sounded and wished I could take it back, but I felt him smile as he skimmed his lips down my neck.

  “Thank you,” he whispered. “Would you like that? For me to lay you out in front of my fire, strip you bare, and decorate you?”

  I swallowed hard, hoping my voice would work. “Y-yes. But… um…”

  “Tell me,” he ran his tongue up the outer edge of my ear, and my knees literally buckled. Fortunately, he wrapped an arm around my waist, practically lifting me off the ground. How strong was he?

  “I’d be just as happy if you wanted to put that enormous cock inside me.”

  He laughed, and the sound was glorious. “I knew I liked you.” He took my hand and pressed it against the thick bulge in his pants. He was already half-hard, and his cock swelled as I let myself enjoy feeling its girth.

  “I’m going to give you what you want,” he said, voice low and gravelly.

  “You are?”

  “Oh, yes. You feel it too, don’t you? This connection between us.”

  “I don’t know if I’ve ever wanted anyone this much.” I couldn’t believe I was telling him that. I never let alphas know how much I craved them. I loved playing hard to get, forcing them to chase me, but with Kymar, I just wanted to open my legs and beg.

  “Me either, angel.”

  Really? Did he mean that? He kissed me then and my ability to think vanished.

  “Mmm. So good,” he murmured against my lips.

  Fuck right it was good. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him back to me. He kissed me again, and I opened for him, sucking his tongue into my mouth. As I ground against him, the world faded away and there was nothing but Kymar: his lips, his hard cock rubbing against my abdomen, the lust I could practically feel rolling off him, and the driving need inside me saying, yes. Yes. Yes. Kymar was what I’d always wanted.

  My world tilted suddenly, and I realized it wasn’t just my need for Kymar making me dizzy. He’d fallen back onto the couch and was pulling me on top of him. I straddled him and let him pull me forward. This was so much better. I could rub my cock along his now. If only we weren’t wearing pants.

  As suddenly as he’d pulled me down, Kymar sat up, but he made sure I stayed wrapped around him. Laszlo was shouting something at us. “You two need to take this somewhere else.”

  “I thought you didn’t want me revealing myself outside your home,” Kymar said as he caressed my back. I laid my head on his shoulder and shut everything else out until I heard Kymar say, “I’m taking Holden home, so you’ll just have to take the risk of someone seeing me.”

  Roman tried to protest, but I pointed out that he had his dragon, so it was only fair that I got one too.

  I blew him a kiss as Kymar scooped me up and strode from the room, carrying me bridal style.

  “My home is far up in the mountains,” he said once we were outside. “There’s over a foot of snow there already, so we’re going to have to fly.”

  “F-fly? Like with you as a dragon?”

  “That’s right, angel. Do you think you can hang on? I know I’ve gotten you a bit worked up.”

  “Hang on?”

  “Yes. You’ll be on my back, but don’t worry. I’ve never dropped anyone. I’m very careful with all my treasures.”

  “I-I’m not a treasure.” I wasn’t sure if I was protesting being property or being considered worthy of that designation. Maybe both.

  “You’re wrong. You’re my treasure. And I want to add you to my hoard. Will you let me collect you?”

  Maybe Roman was right about me just taking off with him, but that voice inside that kept telling me Kymar was everything I’d ever wanted was still saying, Yes! Was flying off with a dragon really worse than letting a man fuck me against the wall in a dark alley? Probably not. And I was actually sober this time.

  “Holden?” he brushed his fingers against my cheek. “Do you want to come with me? I was serious when I promised your friend I wouldn’t harm you. I want to do all manner of filthy things to you, but you’ll love every one of them.”

  “God, yes.” I wanted this, and I always took what I wanted. Hell, I wouldn’t even be friends with Roman if I hadn’t met him, decided I liked him, and told him he was my new best friend. We’d been hanging out ever since. “As long as you promise to bring me back. I have to be at work tomorrow afternoon.”

  Kymar smiled, and he looked so fucking sexy. “I will take care of all your needs.”

  I didn’t think he just meant making sure I got to work on time. He truly meant all my needs, and some of them were becoming more urgent the more time I spent with him. I wrapped my arms around him so I could kiss him again, but he took hold of my shoulders and stepped back.

  “If we start this again, we won’t make it home. I’ve already tried Laszlo’s patience enough today. Me taking you here in his courtyard is probably more than he can bear.

  I grinned and glanced over at Roman’s dragon who had followed us to make sure Kymar didn’t do anything else outrageous. He did look quite a bit
put out. “All right. Let’s go. But you’ll have to tell me exactly how I stay on a dragon’s back while you fly. I don’t suppose you have, like, seatbelts or anything?

  Kymar laughed, and the sound ran through me as if I could feel it. He might as well have slid his hands down my body. “I think we need to hurry.”

  Kymar closed his eyes and drew in a long deep breath. “I can smell how much you need me. You’re a very eager little omega.”

  “You want me to be a slut for you? Because I’m very good at that.”

  He glanced pointedly at my cock where it strained against my pants. “I bet you are. I’m going to transform before I do something to make my friend send me away permanently. Then I’ll lift you onto my back. You’ll be able to get a grip on the scales around my neck. Don’t worry about hurting me, you won’t.”

  I couldn’t believe I was really doing this. I was going to fly on the back of a motherfucking dragon. Kymar took a few steps back and a shimmering mist encased him. His dragon expanded from it, and he stood, ready to fly me away somewhere up into the snowy mountains. When he reached for me, I sucked in my breath. The talons at the end of his—arm? leg?—looked like they could slice me open with very little effort.

  “It’s okay,” Laszlo said. “He would never hurt you. I wouldn’t let you go with him otherwise.”

  I glanced at Laszlo and smiled. “Thank you. Take care of Roman.”

  “Always,” he said

  I let Kymar put me onto his back, and I adjusted myself until I felt like I was secure. “I’m ready.”

  “Kymar’s enormous wings moved up and down. Then we were lifting off and moving higher and higher into the sky. The view was incredible. But being on the back of a dragon, one who could turn into the hottest man I’d ever seen, was the most exhilarating thing I’d ever experienced. Maybe I was dreaming, but I had no intention of pinching myself to find out. If I’d conjured up Kymar in my sleep, I did not want to wake up.

  Holden

  I lay flat against Kymar’s neck as I watched the world below us. I saw the terrain change as we headed into the mountains. There were far fewer homes and snow dotted all the yards. As we moved higher, the houses mostly disappeared, the forest grew thicker, and a solid covering of snow blanketed the ground. By the time Kymar began to descend, I could tell the snow was as deep as he’d warned. I was well and truly stuck with him until he wanted to take me home. There was no way anyone could drive up the narrow, twisting road I could see below us. But Laszlo trusted him, Roman trusted Laszlo, and all my instincts said I belonged here.

  I clung to him as he dived down, preparing to land by what looked like a ski lodge. He didn’t have anywhere near as many lights or decorations as Laszlo. Who did? But as we got closer, I could see icicle lights strung from his porch and colored lights wrapped around the trees and bushes in front of his house.

  He landed softly in the deep snow and bent down so I could slide off his back. I hadn’t expected to be walking in the snow when I’d dressed that morning, so when I landed on the ground, snow filled my shoes and wet the bottoms of my jeans. Hopefully Kymar had something I’d be able to change into, not that I thought we’d really have much use for clothing.

  Once again, Kymar’s magic shimmered, and he transformed into a gorgeous naked man. Before I knew what was happening, he tossed me over his shoulder and practically ran to the house. Instead of stopping in the mudroom where we entered, he carried me all the way to his bedroom, which was enormous and had its own fireplace. Once he’d kicked the door closed behind him, he lowered me to stand on the hardwood floor and studied my wet legs and feet. “What a shame. You’ll have to take off those wet pants. We wouldn’t want to chance you getting sick or anything.”

  I laughed. “No, we wouldn’t want to risk that at all.”

  He held out a hand. “Come have a seat by the fire. You really do need to warm up.”

  “Are we the only ones here? I saw a few cars. Do dragons drive?”

  “Most of us simply hire drivers. Hundreds of years of collecting treasure tends to leave one very wealthy.”

  Wow. “I guess it would.”

  “But unlike most dragons, I keep a very small staff here, just my housekeeper and her husband who does gardening and handyman work for me. They live in the cottage you may have noticed. It’s just down a path from the lodge. We don’t have to worry about them disturbing us.”

  “So in other words, you’re not worried that you just paraded through the house naked.”

  He grinned. “Not at all. My staff is used to dragons and what happens when we transform, and I see no reason to put on clothes when I’ll just have to take them right off again. Have you forgotten what I promised you before we left?”

  My pulse sped up, and blood rushed to my cock. “No, I haven’t forgotten at all.”

  “We need to warm things up in here, though, if we’re going to be comfortable.” He walked over to the fireplace, glanced over his shoulder with a cheeky grin, and blew a jet of fire onto the logs that were laid there. They began to glow red, and with one more fiery breath, he managed to start a picture-perfect fire.

  “You… Wow…” I had to be dreaming. But I didn’t want to be.

  He grinned. “I have much more to wow you with.”

  I didn’t want to wait another second to touch him. I felt a pull toward him I couldn’t explain. It was more than the fact that he was hot, intriguing, and a motherfucking dragon. I’d never thought I had a dragon kink until I met Kymar, but I definitely did, and I would swear I was meant to be his.

  I took one more step, and he was right there, mere inches away. I leaned in and kissed his neck, breathing deeply, needing his scent—what the fuck was that about? He smelled perfect, like firewood, warmth, and protection.

  I have plans for us, angel, but if you keep doing that I’m not going to be able to follow through.

  I groaned at the thought of making my dragon—yes, he was mine—lose control. I nibbled his neck and his collarbone as he gripped my hips and yanked me to him with a growl.

  “You’re going to be trouble, aren’t you?”

  I pulled back enough to smirk at him. “I know what I like, and I make sure I get it.”

  “And what is it you want, angel?”

  For him to keep calling me that and looking at me like he’d give me anything I wanted. “This.” My hand dropped to his cock which was trapped between us. He sucked in his breath as I wrapped my fingers around it. Fuck it felt good, so hard and so thick.

  He swatted my ass. “You will get that, but—”

  “I want it now.”

  “Look at me,” he growled.

  Somehow, I managed to tear my gaze away from his dick. When I looked up, he stuck out his tongue and as he did so, it elongated and became forked at the end. My mouth hung open. I hadn’t thought my cock could get any harder, but it did. “That’s. Oh my God.”

  “Are you sure you want my cock in you right away, or would you like—”

  “Use that on me. Please. I’ll—”

  “You’ll be a good little angel, and do what I say?”

  “Um… I’m not usually very obedient, but—”

  He pointed to the hearth. “Sit down.” I didn’t even hesitate. I could be a sweet little omega if it meant I got his dragon tongue on me, in me.

  Kymar grimaced as he pulled off my shoes and socks. “Your feet are half-frozen.”

  “I hadn’t noticed. You’re very distracting.” He gave me a lascivious smile.

  “I am rather enticing, but I need to take better care of you.”

  “You…” I wasn’t sure what to say. I’d never had an alpha take care of me in any way other than getting me off. Not that the men I’d been with were cruel or anything, but it was very clearly just sex for them. I hadn’t thought I wanted anything else, but Kymar made me long for things I’d never had. I was having cheesy as fuck thoughts now like how I didn’t just want him with my body, I wanted him with my soul.
I was definitely in danger of developing a full-on obsession. Maybe I already had.

  He encouraged me to lift my hips so he could slide my pants down. His gaze dropped to my tiny, hot pink briefs. “Mmm, I approve.”

  His praise sent warmth running through me. I was usually more concerned about how skilled an alpha would be at getting me off, but I wanted to please Kymar. What was he doing to me? “What kind of magic can dragons do? Can they, like, mind control humans or something?”

  Kymar shook his head. “We can do many things, but that is not one of them.”

  “But then why—” What was I doing? I didn’t want him to know how desperate I was for him.

  Kymar tilted his head, studying me. “Tell me what you’re feeling, angel.”

  “I… it’s like I have to have you, not just because I’m horny. I mean, I am, but it’s more than that, it’s like this is meant to be, and I… Fuck, this is embarrassing.”

  Kymar look thrilled at my confession. “You never need to be embarrassed with me. I’m drawn to you too. I think…” He shook his head. “We’ll talk about that later.”

  I raised my arms so he could lift my sweater over my head. After he tossed it aside, he looked me up and down slowly and licked his lips. When I leaned back on my hands to display myself better, his eyes began to shimmer again, and I couldn’t look away.

  “You’re beautiful.” His voice was gravelly with a bit of a hiss. Instinctively I knew his dragon wanted to come out. “I need to taste all of you.”

  “Please.” The word came out as a squeak, but I didn’t care. I would beg as much as I had to for Kymar. The small sample I’d had of him earlier told me he was worth it.

  Kymar scooped me up and carried me to the bed. He laid me down gently. The mattress was perfect, just firm enough. And the comforter was silky soft against my skin. Kymar trailed a hand down my body, skimming right past my cock. “Angel, you’re drawn to me because you’re mine, and I’m going to show you why you want to be.”

  If any other man had said that to me, I would’ve laughed and walked away, but Kymar’s words made me feel warm and swoony. What was he doing to me? Did it matter? I needed to stop analyzing and just enjoy the fuck out of this day, because when would I ever have the chance to be with a dragon again?
