Lost Among the Stars (Sky Riders) by Rebecca Lorino Pond Page B

all sitting on the sofa laughing and having a good time. He was a bit embarrassed when all eyes turned to him, but hell, it was his room after all. He begged their pardon as he rushed in to get a change of clothes then rushed back out. As he closed the door he heard them burst out laughing. It angered him that he was not the one making Maggie laugh. It should be him in there not those females!
    After several nights of sleeping in his office on the uncomfortable chair, he had had enough. He was going to sleep in his bed whether she liked it or not. He made his way to his room long after dark. The entire house was asleep as he walked quietly through the halls. As he passed the garden he saw Rhaegos sleeping peacefully on a bed of fresh hay he specifically had grown for his dragon. He smiled as he thought about the couple times he caught Rhaegos trying to talk with Maggie. She would laugh when he did something she found funny or didn’t understand something he was trying to tell her. One day he had stood in the shadows watching her and his dragon as they interacted. A wave of jealously coursed through him as he watched the pair.
    Tonight he made the decision to no longer stay away from her. He would be with her every minute of the day. He would take her everywhere he went. He was bound and determined to get her to want him.
    He crept into the dark bedroom trying not to wake her up. He took a quick shower then slipped under the covers. The sound of Maggie’s breathing had him wanting to reach out and touch her. He could smell her fresh, clean scent and it was driving him mad.
    Sleep eluded him as he stared up at the ceiling for several hours. Next to him, Maggie shifted then said something he couldn’t understand. He was wondering what she was dreaming about when she suddenly screamed and sat up. His instincts took over then.
    He reached for her and pulled her to him. “Shh, little one. It’s alright. Shhh.” He felt her body trembling in his arms as she came out of her dream.
    “Etor?” she asked.
    “Yes, it’s me. You were having a bad dream.” He wiped away a tear that escaped her eye and trailed down her cheek. “Are you okay now?”
    He felt her nod her head. “Yes, I’m fine. Etor..,” her voice fell off as her hand touched his cheek. “I’m sorry.”
    That was all it took. He captured her mouth with his in kiss he had been longing to give. When she didn’t pull away, but eagerly responded, he deepened the kiss. Her mouth instinctively opened for him as his tongue traced a path along her lips. He heard her moan as he tasted her until he had his fill. One hand moved down her slim neck to caress her shoulder. It took a moment to realize that she wasn’t wearing anything as his hand moved farther down to cup her breast.
    Her plump, firm breast fit perfectly in his hand as he molded and caressed it, skimming his thumb across the nipple several times. He felt her arch into his hand and moan every time he touched the sensitive nipple. It puckered beneath his touch until it was hard.
    He pulled back from her mouth and heard her whimper as he did so, but he wanted to taste more of her. He leaned her back down onto the bed and moved partially over her. He kissed his way down her neck then shoulder. The whole time his hand never stopped caressing her breast. He kissed the top of her mounds before he flicked his tongue across the tight buds.
    “Gods, you taste so good,” he said right before he sucked her nipple into his mouth. As he paid close attention to her nipples, his hand slid down her soft body. His fingers lazily skimmed over her belly and down to the patch of hair covering her sex. He felt the softness of it as he cupped her pussy in his hand.
    He raised his head and moved backup to kiss her again. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he devoured her mouth. Her body moved beneath him as his fingers slipped through her folds to find her clit. He rubbed little circles on the bud making Maggie gasp in
