She had to ask. “What is going on?”
“He wants to taste all of you, and that means your skin needs to be accessible.” Alexi ran his hands down her arms and then pulled her arms up over her head and held them to the floor with a hand on her wrists.
She squeaked and wiggled, and Nikolai chuckled, continuing his slow licking down her thighs to her toes, and then, Alexi turned her as Nikolai didn’t miss an inch of her. When his tongue snaked between her buttocks, something was strange. It wasn’t human. It was thick and long and moved her thighs apart so he could taste. A hum started, and it definitely wasn’t a purr, but it was excited.
She whined as Alexi kept her arms stretched out. The tongue moved across scars and hips before working up to her shoulders. He moved her hair out of the way, and she shivered at the brush of claws.
He licked her arms and fingers, but her head was held down, so she couldn’t see what was licking her. Alexi whispered, “Don’t scream.”
She was turned over, and she was face to face with a man-sized dragon. She looked at the ridged beak, the onyx scales, and the wings that rustled behind him. A tail lashed down the hallway, and his hind legs scraped the floor as he crouched over her. She didn’t have to ignore his penis. There wasn’t one. She got the feeling that if she caressed his belly, it would make itself known, but her hands were busy.
She whined, and it was a needy sound. The hum increased in pitch, and she closed her eyes as his tongue continued. She moaned, and his tongue flicked her lips. She parted her lips and felt the press of the beak against her as his tongue slid into her mouth. She made several needy and greedy sounds as the tongue flicked in and out. Alexi groaned, and Niko continued his taste test.
She arched toward his mouth when he went over her breasts. Her vocalizations were constant. The scent of honey filled the air as he licked her navel, and then, his claws were trailing delicately over her thighs as he made room for himself between them. He licked sweetly across her belly and across her mound, and then, he hit the one section of her anatomy he had been avoiding.
He lay on his belly and gripped her legs with his claws. She made things easier by bending her knees and pulling her thighs wide. The tongue flickered over her, and she squirmed. Claws held her ankles, and he began to learn her from the inside out.
She was focused on the sensations inside her as the tongue went up and up and up and then started getting thicker. Alexi’s kiss surprised her, and she jumped. The tongue inside her went deeper, and the hum in the air got louder.
She felt the claw tap her clit, and she bucked hard. She wailed into Alexi and made the dragon retreat and snort. Nikolai reformed into human, and he grinned. “You are loud.”
She blushed. “Sorry about that.”
He crawled over her, and Alexi leaned out of the way with a grin.
“And, little princess... you are deep.”
“Isn’t that a side effect of the damage?” She tried to look into his dark eyes, but they were intense.
He smiled and shook his head slowly. “No, that is what my mate is supposed to feel like.” He nuzzled her neck and murmured in her ear, “No other alpha is for you. Only a dragon could go that deep. And only a dragon will.”
She blinked. “What about Alexi?”
Alexi grinned. “What he feels, I feel. What I feel, he feels. Frankly, you are screwed either way.”
She blushed, and she understood now that he needed a beta to be able to enjoy sex with other betas.
Nikolai covered her with his body, and she heard the squeak of her body on the floor. He asked, “Our bed or yours?”
She blinked. “Where would you be the most comfortable? I don’t have a basis for comparison.”
He was getting up and keeping her held against him. She held on to his naked shoulders, and it was only when he was standing that his size fully sank in. Her feet were dangling near his knees.
He gathered her legs up and carried her into his and Alexi’s bedroom. She started to whine as soon as he crossed the threshold. He paused, and Alexi bumped into him. “What is it, princess?”
She looked down. “I don’t want to mess up your room. I’m... gonna make a mess.”
“Oh, princess. I hope so.”
She felt really shy for someone who had just been licked from head to toe. “So, what happens next?”
He carried her toward the bed, and Alexi moved to strip off the duvet and leave only the fitted sheet behind. There was going to be nowhere to hide. She burrowed into Nikolai’s neck and hid.
“Oh, now, princess, I have literally seen and tasted all of you. Your voice is tremendous, and your slick tastes like honey. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.”
He tried to set her on the bed, but she squealed and hung onto him. It caught him by surprise but tried to pry her off carefully, and she kicked her legs to avoid the bed.
Alexi muttered, “That’s new. Usually, they are trying to get away from him.”
“She is surprisingly strong for an invalid. I guess we have to do this the hard way.”
She didn’t understand the threat until he fell forward and took her to the bed with him. She was trapped and making squeaking sounds that she hadn’t heard from herself before. He was heavy and hot and hard all over. She exhaled and twisted, and then, she was lying with her shoulders flat and her hips twisted to one side.
Alexi chuckled. “How is that better?”
“Patience, Alexi. You like patience, don’t you, Alita?”
She looked up at him and cocked her head in a puzzled manner. There was a sound effect to go along with it, and he grinned. “Is that the face you made before?”
Alexi chuckled. “Yeah. She looks like a puzzled cocker spaniel.”
She growled.
“And sounds like one.”
She felt her blood cooling off despite the alpha pressed onto her. She looked up at Nikolai and asked, “Can we do this later?”
He frowned. “What just happened?”
“Um. For a first time, this isn’t very nice.”
Alexi said, “What do you mean?”
“How did Nikolai get you into bed the first time?”
Alexi smiled. “Sweet words and a firm hand to the back of my neck.”
“And what was your actual first time like? Sweet words, soft kisses?”
Alexi nodded. “Of course.”
Nikolai blinked. “We just called her a bitch and have been analyzing all of her reactions in front of her.”
“Yeah, so I really just kind of feel like a hole with legs right now.” She put her hand on Nikolai’s chest. “I know omegas aren’t actually virgins, but this is a lot right now. Can I just go and get myself together?”
Nikolai nodded, and he sat up, helping her up, and then, he gently pulled her to him for a kiss. “We got excited.”
She gently trailed her fingers over his very long erection. “I can tell. I just have to take a break, and you guys can remember that there is a person attached to this vag. Nikolai, I have watched your family with their omegas, and this is not how they treat them. At least not that I saw last night.”
She got out of the bed and walked carefully to the door without looking back. If she looked back, she would be back in that bed and underneath him or, rather, them.
She crossed the hall, found her phone, and crawled into her nest, pulling pillows in around on all sides. Alita draped a throw over her, and she hit the light switch to leave her in darkness.
* * * *
Alexi sighed. “Did I fuck that up?”
“You weren’t alone in that, and she knew it. We treated her like a shared woman, and she called us on it. She is also stone-cold sober and wide awake, so not our normal bedmate.” Nikolai ran his hands through his hair. “I hate to say it, but I am going to need to call my brother.”
Alexi blinked. “Whoa.”
He went to the hall where his shredded clothing was next to Alita’s, and he called Grigory. The conversation was brief, and the advice was succinct. Go into her nest and sit his ass down until she comes to him. If he could act whiny and needy, it would help.
He thanked his brother and hung up. He could wait. He was normally very patient. His beast was growling at him for making a stupid mistake and treating her like she was a woman, a beta. This was their omega, their mate. She needed to be coddled and pampered and kept with them at all times. She also needed to rub her slick all over his scales and plates so he would shine in the sun, but one thing at a time. His beast had some very specific tastes.
“Grigory told me what I need to do, and I will call you in as soon as I have mated her but not marked her.” He looked at Alexi. “When you come in, sit against the edge of the nest with your mouth shut until she comes to you.”
He kissed his beta hard. “We want her as part of us, not separate from us, and we have been on our own for a long time. It shows. We have to be open to having her complete us.”
Alexi nodded. “I know. I have been feeling the burn inside you since you realized the possibility of her being what you needed. And now that you have tasted her, you know she is what we need.”
Niko pressed his forehead to Alexi’s. “We just need to get past the first time without insulting her accidentally.”
“What about playfully?”
Niko sighed. “He is this close to using you as an outlet, Alexi. She can take him, and we both know it is not comfortable for you.”
“Right. Go and do what you are going to do. Call me when I can join you.”
Niko kissed his beta swiftly. “I will.”
He turned and walked naked across the hall, opened the door to the nest quietly, and saw the tiny woman surrounded by pillows in a haphazard arrangement. A few had fallen on top of her, and she wasn’t moving. He scooted against the soft wall of the nest, and he slowly stroked his cock. Grigory’s advice was to get his scent into the air as quickly as possible. If logic wouldn’t get her into his bed, pheromones would bring her to him.
His lazy stroking soon had the air thick with his scent. His beast was cooperating, and the scent spread fast.
There was a rustle inside her barricade, and curious eyes peeped over the edge. He smiled. It was working. The scent of honey was joining his.
Her soft voice asked, “What are you doing?”
He smiled and replied. “Waiting for you. Your first time is not a spectator sport. It is your choice. That should have been extended to you.”
She blinked. “So why are you here?”
“I am extending something.”
He had turned the light to fifteen percent, so they were both visible, but they were cast in black and white to her vision. He could see every clear expression and the pink of her lips as she bit them gently. One of her small hands was on the edge of the pillow fort, and the other was out of sight, but the scent of honey was rising exponentially.
He smiled slowly. It paid to have an older brother who owed him a favour.
* * * *
She could see his hand moving on his erection in the dimness. There was more light now than when she had gone into her nest, but the smell of coffee had woken her.
She wanted to put her hand on his and feel the hot, taut, veiny hardness of him. She looked around. “Where is Alexi?”
“Waiting. We realized that he had his first time with me without an audience or commentary. You should get the same courtesy.”
“He said he got sweet words and a hand to the back of the neck.”
Nikolai chuckled. “He got wooed. Presents, trips, nights under the stars, and then sweet words and a hand to the back of the neck.”
She blinked and sank back into her bed. “Oh.”
Nikolai leaned over the edge of her nest. “Betas are not omegas. They don’t plunge into a heat that steals all thought beyond fucking. These few days are all I can offer you, and I am sorry for that. All I can do is try to make sure that you are comfortable with me, Alexi, and my beast before your heat. I am sorry for the rush. I will try and make it up to you.”
She blinked. “What do you want?”
“I have explored you. I would like you to explore me in whatever manner you wish.”
She smiled. It was a demand couched as a request.
She sighed. “Back up.”
“What?”
“Back up. I am not going to have a smelly alpha in a place where I sleep.”
She got up and climbed over the badly arranged pillow wall. She crawled over to him and pressed her hands to his chest, leaning forward and breathing him in. She shivered, and her eyes drooped closed. She licked her lips and then licked his skin. He tensed. She froze. “Did I do it wrong?”
He smoothed a hand over her back. “No. No touch is wrong unless it brings you pain. Then tell me to stop, and I will.”
“Can I hurt you?”
He chuckled. “It is unlikely.”
“Okay.” She nuzzled his jaw and worked her way over to his lips. The flick of his tongue made her part her lips, and she moaned and angled her body so that her breasts were rubbing against his chest. Her nipples were tight as she rubbed them, and the only other time she had bothered with them was when Niko had held them when she bucked against Alexi. The thought caused a surge of slick, and her thighs shifted together. He groaned as they kissed, and she grabbed his hand and put it between her thighs. He began to slowly explore between her thighs, and then, he eased a finger into her and started to circle his way up inside her.
She moaned and parted her thighs to make more room. He still continued, so she broke the kiss and whispered, “More.”
He smiled against her lips but didn’t make her beg. He slid a second finger into her, and her hips rocked against his hand.
She shuddered when he pressed his thumb against her clit, and the slow rolls of her hips brought her closer to the edge. Nikolai slipped a third finger into her, and she threw her head back and moaned low and long. Her channel clasped and fluttered around him.
His fingers continued the slow stroking, and she continued to pant and clutch at him. The fluttering didn’t ease up as he stroked her for long minutes until she reached down and clasped his hand. He nuzzled her temple. “I was waiting for it to stop.”
“Um. It doesn’t. If there is something inside me when I have an orgasm, it keeps going until I remove it. There might be a bit of begging for you to stop. I am just guessing.” She chuckled.
“So, your sex keeps twitching and fluttering forever?”
“No, because I am not insane yet. My maximum time is about fifteen minutes, but there is another side effect.” She rubbed against him and leaned across him because his legs were bent.
“What side effect?”
She squirmed against him. “I want more. I always want more. The only thing that stops me is exhaustion.”
He chuckled. “Have you tried cuddling?”
“Um, no. It doesn’t work. I keep falling asleep and losing my grip.”
He smoothed a hand down her back and sucked his fingers. She ducked her head and kissed the other side of his neck while she stroked his erection. There was a lot of it, and instead of the fleshy head, it was smooth. “Does your cock have scales?”
He chuckled. “It does. They lie flat, but they are there.”
“Huh.” There was something about the way he said that. “Is there ever a time when they are not flat?”
He smoothed her hair, “It hasn’t happened yet.”
That sounded ominous. “I really would like you inside me, but I don’t want to be squashed, and doing a squat to get you into me is just going to tighten things up. So, how would you suggest we do this?”
He tensed, but then he said, “Do you want to touch me?”
“Yes.”
“Roll to your side and face away from me.”
She snuggled up against his hip and lay facing her nest. “What next?”
He whispered against her temple, “Now, you trust me.”
Chapter Seven
Niko kissed her neck and shoulder, stroked his fingers down to her clit, and he stroked until she mewled and moved with his digits. She rocked against his hand, and he brought her to a smooth and easy climax. Since nothing was inside her, it faded quickly, and she relaxed but then tensed as he eased her left thigh forward, and she felt the armoured head of his cock pressing against her. He murmured to her in Russian as he thrust into her in small increments. He got to the point where he should have ended, but he kept going. One hand cupped her hip, and the other slid under her. She clutched his arm and rocked against him as he moved into her one inch at a time.
When she finally felt him all the way inside, his thighs against her ass, she blinked. “How is that possible?”
He growled, and that hum was in his voice. “The beast is larger, so he needed a mate he could enjoy. Dragons treasure their omegas. They take good care of them.”
She took in where he started and finished, and she stroked his length through her skin. The scaled head of his erection was near her navel.
She whispered, “So, sex with the three of you is a thing?”
His tone was warm. “You didn’t even flinch when you saw him. He was impressed.”
She rolled her hips against him. “He’s beautiful. I could have had him there in the hallway without a second thought.”
Nikolai chuckled. “He likes the sound of that. I would be careful what you wish for. I have very little control over him.”
He withdrew and slid in. She moaned.
He chuckled. “I love your song.”
His hips moved again, and she moaned again. He began a slow undulation wave into her that lifted her on his cock while she licked and bit at his arm. He turned her head and leaned around her, his hips slowly moving. When he made contact with her mouth, she twisted at the waist and kissed him ravenously with small bites to his lips and jaw. When he pulled out and slid back in with a hard shove, the slight twinge of discomfort made her drop her head back and moan low. The first fluttering wave of spasms started, and as he whispered instructions, she rolled to her belly so he could continue the smooth thrust and glide of his cock. He held her hands as her fingers kneaded the air, and her body continued the waves of release that grasped him and caused her blissful orgasm to go on and on.
