This version of Cobalt was different than the one who gave me a hand job in my hotel room. He had an aura of danger, yet I still felt completely safe. I knew he’d never hurt me, but the wilder side of him was a total turn-on.

  I moaned as Cobalt rubbed my trapped cock. His thumb grazed it in rough circles that sent jagged bolts of pleasure up my spine. I arched into it, chasing the sensation. Soon I was hard enough to ache.

  “Pants,” I groaned. My brain was scrambled. “Disappear them.”

  A low chuckle from Cobalt, then he deftly undid the button and zipper of my jeans, thrusting them down to my ankles. I shuddered as the cool air touched my heated skin, then cried out as Cobalt’s eager hand returned to its post. It felt a thousand times better without the thick fabric in the way. Even through my underwear, it was heavenly.

  Speaking of thick, my eyes widened when I felt Cobalt’s erection brush against my leg. How could it possibly seem bigger than the first time?

  “You’re slick already,” Cobalt said roughly in my ear.

  Heat erupted in my cheeks. “How’d you know that?” I squeaked.

  “I smell you.”

  His voice was quiet and guttural, possessive and primal. Just like with his hoard, I was seeing a private side of him nobody else was allowed to witness. Only me.

  I’d never felt so special.

  “Well, it’s ‘cause you went and turned me on so badly,” I teased. “Sorry if I drench your sheets, but it’s your fault.”

  Cobalt huffed in amusement. His lips—and fangs—grazed the shell of my ear.

  In a soft voice, he ordered, “Drench them.”

  Well, shit. That was one way to turn a guy on.

  My cock throbbed against its fabric cage, which was now wet with so much slick fluid that it had as much structural integrity as a damp piece of paper. I was about to ask Cobalt to take them off when he raised a hand, shifted his nails into dragon claws, then sliced them clean off.

  “Hey, those could’ve been my lucky underpants,” I protested jokingly.

  Cobalt paused, leveling a serious look at me. “Were they?” he asked, actually worried.

  I planted a reassuring kiss on his cheek. “No, but thanks for your concern.”

  Cobalt sighed in relief. “I’ll buy you thirty more pairs of lucky underwear,” he promised before capturing my lips.

  I quickly dissolved into nothing but moans as Cobalt’s tongue tangled with mine. With his big hand wrapped around my sensitive cock and his mouth claiming me, my entire body was alight with pleasure. I was taut as a pressurized spring, greedy for release, ready to explode.

  But I didn’t want this to end. Nobody had ever wanted me as desperately and passionately as Cobalt did. His desire for me was intoxicating.

  Was this what being fated mates felt like? No wonder everybody wanted to find theirs so badly.

  Our need for air finally broke our kiss apart. Cobalt panted heavily above me. His eyes blazed with lust. They looked draconic again, wild and ringed with spirals of neon blue. He was breathtakingly beautiful.

  Man, being craved by an alpha dragon felt pretty damn good.

  Cobalt dug his fingers into my arms. “Muzo,” he murmured thickly. He sounded like he was barely hanging onto his sanity. “I need to breed you.”

  Tingles sparked across my skin.

  Cobalt wanted to breed me.

  My fated mate wanted to impregnate me.

  “Yeah,” I blurted without a second thought. Then I blushed because that was so not a romantic way to respond to Cobalt’s sexy comment. “I mean, yes, please do that.”

  Cobalt smiled in the sweet way he always did when I stumbled over my words, since I was apparently really good at that.

  His next words held a twinge of hesitation. “I can restrain myself. We don’t need to rush. But if you want a family—”

  “I do,” I interrupted.

  I stared him dead in the eyes. If his gaze looked intense a second ago, mine must’ve looked the same way now.

  “I know I joke around and stuff, but this is what I’ve always wanted,” I promised. “A mate. Kids. A family. I just never thought it’d happen so soon. Or even at all. I mean, that’s why I entered the Dragonfate Games. Even if Taylor thought I was doing it to troll him.”

  Cobalt flashed a playful smirk. “I thought you came on for the free vacations.”

  “Okay, those were a nice bonus,” I agreed. “But I obviously didn’t gel with your brothers, so I had to keep coming back, right?”

  A spark of possessiveness flashed across Cobalt’s face, which was adorable since I literally just told him I wasn’t interested in the other alphas. I laughed and patted his cheeks.

  “You’re so cute when you wanna rip your little brothers’ heads off,” I teased.

  He sighed, calming down. “Dragon instincts. I’ll keep them under control.”

  I paused, then wriggled my eyebrows. “What if I don’t want you to?”

  “How so?”

  I glanced down at the monster cock bulging out of his trousers, then pointedly back at him. “All I’m saying is, if you wanna be a freak in the privacy of the bedroom...”

  A slow, hungry grin spread over Cobalt’s face. He rose up and tossed off his shirt, followed promptly by his pants and briefs.

  My eyes must’ve bulged out of my face when I saw his massive cock because wow.

  “Did you take enhancement pills or something since the last time?” I asked.

  “No,” Cobalt said simply. “It’s because of my attraction to you.”

  I didn’t know if he was joking or if it was a dragon thing or what, but I stopped thinking about it.

  “That,” I said, pointing at it, “is not gonna fit.”

  Cobalt pouted, his excited expression faltering. “I was afraid of that...”

  I suddenly felt bad. I shook my head. “No, it’s fine. We’ll make it work. We’re fated mates, right? Fate wouldn’t give you a dick that won’t fit in my ass.”

  A chuckle escaped Cobalt. “Now who’s the one being romantic?”

  “I try. Let’s see...”

  First things first, all remaining clothes had to go. I tossed them on the floor.

  Next came the challenge of actually fitting that behemoth inside me.

  I kneeled on the bed in front of Cobalt’s cock. As I watched it twitch, I gulped in anticipation. It was like a creature all its own, standing proudly before me.

  I tentatively ran my hands down its sides. Cobalt groaned. His deep dragon’s voice mixed with his own, making a perfectly sultry sound that went straight to my balls.

  I shuffled closer to the towering giant, aligning it with my body. I choked in disbelief as the length of Cobalt’s erection spanned from the base of my thighs to the bottom of my rib cage.

  Cobalt blushed. “I’m sorry.”

  I snorted. “What’re you sorry for? I love you and your body. Every part of it.”

  His blush turned a deeper color. “You love me?”

  “Well, yeah!” I blurted. “You’re the one who said we’re fated mates. Isn’t that obvious?”

  Cobalt smiled, leaning forward to kiss my cheek. “Yes. I love you, too.”

  A million butterflies fluttered in my chest. Damn, it felt nice to hear those words.

  “As much as I love being sappy, let’s get your dick in me first,” I said.

  A lust-rough chuckle escaped him. “Good idea.”

  I figured we could try the old-fashioned way first. Lying back on the bed, I nodded at Cobalt. He slowly aligned the tip of his cock with my entrance. I hissed in pleasure as it rubbed against my slick hole.

  My body definitely wanted him. Actually taking him was a different story.

  “Are you ready?” he asked.

  I gave him a thumbs up. “Go for it.”

  The thumbs up quickly turned into a desperate grapple for the sheets as Cobalt entered me. Sweat prickled my skin. I gasped as the hot, tight sensation spread.

  “Phew,” I said, already breathless.

  Cobalt stopped moving. “Are you all right?”

  I nodded slowly as my body adjusted to the intrusion. “Yeah. Go on.”

  Cobalt gently eased in deeper. The feeling was strange, but oh so good. Pleasure sizzled across my body, smothering the discomfort from being stretched to my limit.

  I lay there relaxing my muscles for what felt like an eternity. Surely Cobalt was all the way in by now...

  I raised my head to check the situation down there. “How deep?” I asked.

  “Two inches. Maybe three,” Cobalt replied.

  “Three?” I cried. “That’s it? It feels like the Empire State Building’s shoved up there!”

  “The what?”

  “Never mind.”

  I flopped back on the bed, disappointed with myself. Why couldn’t I take more of Cobalt?

  C’mon, ass! Try harder!

  Cobalt’s soft voice broke into my thoughts. “Muzo. I don’t have to fit all the way inside to breed you.”

  I lifted my head to meet his gaze.

  “That’s true,” I mumbled.

  “It’s not a personal failing,” he reassured, as if reading my mind. “We can always try to work up to it. We have time.”

  My heart squeezed with love. Why was he the nicest, sweetest alpha in the history of ever?

  “Yeah, you’re right,” I conceded.

  He leaned over to kiss me. It felt doubly good with the head of his cock still buried inside me. I moaned into his mouth as our tongues melted together. Everything felt so wet and hot and amazing.

  A sudden movement down below made me gasp. Our kiss had loosened my muscles and let Cobalt’s dick slip in deeper.

  “Keep doing that,” I demanded.

  Cobalt huffed through a smirk. “I don’t need orders for that.”

  He kissed me harder, deeper—matching the pace of his cock within me. As Cobalt’s tongue twisted around mine, his throbbing length inched further in. I thought I’d been stretched to my limit before, but that was nothing compared to the thick sensation now.

  Finally, I hit my limit.

  “Fuck,” I whimpered against his mouth. “Can’t take anymore.”

  Cobalt nodded and pressed a kiss to my forehead. “Okay.”

  He glanced down, as if making a mental note of where my limit was in relation to his dick, then smoothed his warm hands across my chest. I relaxed under his touch, sighing in happiness. Every little thing he did made me feel wanted and loved.

  “By the way,” I said. “I don’t care if it doesn’t fit all the way. I still don’t want you to hold back your dragon side.”

  Cobalt’s eyes flashed, almost glowing in the darkness. The sunset colors in the room had gone from pink to dusky purple, bathing the room in twilight shadows.

  “Are you sure?” he asked in a low voice.

  “As long as you don’t rip me in two, go for it.”

  A growl vibrated in Cobalt’s throat. “I would never hurt my mate.”

  I grinned. “I know, Cobalt. I’m only joking.”

  Cobalt frowned. “But... I do want to bite you.”

  An unexpected flicker of pleasure ran through me. “You do?”

  He grimaced like he was battling his instinctive urges. “My dragon wants to claim you. In every possible way. Biting is one of those ways.”

  He sounded guilty for some reason, as if that wasn’t sexy as fuck.

  “Then bite me,” I said. “Gimme the whole dragon breeding experience, please. And don’t worry about hurting me. I know my limits. If it gets too bad, I’ll tap out.” I smiled. “Trust me, okay?”

  He exhaled through his nose. “Okay.”

  Cobalt closed his eyes and breathed. When he opened them, the neon rings in his eyes pulsated like circles of blue fire.

  Then his nails elongated into dragon talons. Leathery wings snapped out of his back. His hair grew longer and shaggier, resembling his dragon’s mane. When his mouth parted to breathe heavily, I saw his glinting fangs.

  My eyes widened. I couldn’t breathe.

  Half-shifted in front of me, Cobalt was the hottest thing I’d ever seen.

  Cobalt arched his body over me like a predator. His ragged breath ghosted across my skin in hot puffs. His claws sank into the bed on either side of me, not caring that he tore the expensive sheets to shreds. His primal gaze bore into me, needy and hungry.

  My cock was so freaking hard, I couldn’t stand it.

  As his dragon side took over, Cobalt started fucking me. I choked on a pleasured cry. I threw my head back into the pillow as electric jolts skated over my nerves.

  “Fuck,” I cried. “Fuck, Cobalt, that feels good...”

  A loud growl echoed in the room. I was a prey animal trapped in the dragon’s lair. The edge of danger only turned me on more. I knew Cobalt wouldn’t actually hurt me, so it was fun to pretend.

  My mind went blank as Cobalt’s thrusts picked up speed. The friction of his thick cock plowing in and out of my sensitive hole drove me crazy. I moaned and whimpered and made a bunch of other sounds I didn’t remember. All I could focus on was the hot pleasure scorching my body.

  Cobalt suddenly lunged for me. His fangs sank into the space where my neck met my shoulder. There was pain for a second, like the brief sting of a needle, but it instantly dissolved into ecstasy. I writhed as it swept over me in a monsoon of pleasure.

  Cobalt’s tongue licked over the wounds. It felt like the bite was over too soon. Was it weird that I wanted more?

  When Cobalt pulled back, his eyes leaned human instead of dragon. “Are you all right?” he murmured.

  I grabbed the back of his neck. My fingers tangled through his long, messy mane.

  “I might just come if you bite me like that again,” I said breathlessly.

  The rings flared in Cobalt’s eyes as they shifted back to dragon.

  Cobalt lunged again. As his fangs sank into my skin, my cock strained against my belly. Suddenly, he grabbed my wrists and hiked them above my head. Cobalt drew back from the bite, giving my skin a tender lick, then dove into my armpit.

  “Ah!” I squeaked. “W-wait, I haven’t showered yet—”

  “Don’t care,” Cobalt snarled.

  His wet tongue glided across my armpit, making me writhe.

  The sudden deluge of pleasure was a shock to my system. Heat streaked across my skin. My mind whited out. The wet, dominant sensation of Cobalt’s tongue turned me brainless. It should’ve felt so wrong, but it was so right.

  As Cobalt licked my armpit, he huffed my scent hungrily, like a wolf drooling over raw steak. It flustered me to see him act so feral. It was the polar opposite of his usual dignified self, but this was part of him, too—a side that nobody else had ever witnessed. Only me. That made his descent into lust-crazed madness even more special.

  As my muscles relaxed, Cobalt’s cock inched in deeper. Every time I felt like I was at my final limit, my alpha ignited a new burst of pleasure in me, loosening my body for him. Each twitch of his thick cock struck a nerve. I crackled, as sensitive as a live wire. My blood itself vibrated.

  Cobalt finally drew away from my armpit. He was completely undone with desire. The whole bottom of his jaw was wet. He rolled his tongue over his sharp fangs before it lolled out of his mouth.

  “Now,” he said roughly. “The other.”

  Cobalt didn’t hesitate. He dove into my other armpit with greedy fervor, attacking it with his tongue. I cried out, writhing against the bed. It didn’t even tickle—it just felt so sensitive, and so weirdly good.

  It was all too much. I was veering towards the edge too fast to stop.

  “Can’t take it,” I breathed.

  Cobalt gripped me harder. His talons dug into me, as did his thrusting cock.

  “Come while I breed you,” he growled.

  Fireworks. Violent, fraying sparks of light.

  That was all I saw behind my eyes as I came. I wasn’t even aware of the hoarse sound tearing from my throat. I felt like I was in an entirely different world, one made purely of pleasure. In the fuzzy distance, I heard a climactic dragon’s roar.

  Other sensations slowly crept back into my consciousness. A familiar wetness on my lower belly—definitely my own fault. But there was another wetness, a thick flood of it in the deepest part of me.

  The sudden realization made my head swim—I was full of Cobalt’s seed. He bred me, just like he promised.

  A weight shifted. My hole twitched and I shuddered as Cobalt gently eased his way out.

  I blinked as I came back to reality. My mate was no longer on top, but curled next to me. I turned to face him. We were equally flushed and drenched in sweat.

  “Hi,” I said with a satisfied grin.

  Cobalt’s rugged mouth curled into a smile mirroring my own. “Hi.”

  Overcome with a rush of fondness, I shimmied closer to him, snuggling as close as physically possible. Cobalt wrapped his arms around my back. I sighed contentedly against his chest. I experienced the purest sense of safety and happiness as I lay there, warm and protected and totally surrounded by Cobalt.

  Maybe... Just maybe...

  Could Cobalt be my fated mate after all?

  Eighteen

  Cobalt

  A stern knock at the door rudely awakened me.

  I let out a muffled groan and snuggled closer to Muzo. I didn’t even bother opening my eyes. Whoever was at the door could wait. Morning cuddles with my mate were more important.

  The knock came again. Louder.

  Muzo yawned. “Who’sat?”

  “Don’t know. Don’t care.” I kissed his warm forehead. “Don’t worry about it.”

  Muzo made a contented sound, burying himself in my arms. “’kay.”

  The insistent knock came a third time.

  “Go away,” I called.

  The intruder fell silent. I sighed in relief, happy to be done with that. This early morning moment with my mate was precious. I didn’t want anybody to interfere.

  But when the knock came a fourth time, I grabbed Blueberry and threw him at the door so hard it caused a loud thump.
