Free Claiming Julia by Charisma Knight Page A

effort, he gripped her hips and slid deep inside of her.
    She met him thrust for thrust while fisting the bedcovers, her cries of pleasure edging Angus onward. Wildly he pushed into her, pulling out only to push back in harder and faster.
    The grunts he emitted turned her on, slowly pushing her on the edge of orgasm. Her breasts swung freely with every thrust, and the sounds of their lovemaking made her want more—need more. “Angus! Please don’t stop!”
    “Don’t plan on it,” he growled in between thrusts as he slid one hand down her belly and covered her navel. “Baby, come for me again. Come hard for me.” He moved his hand up, across the side of her waist as he thrust into her, hard, fast, relentlessly taking his own pleasure.
    The smacking sounds of damp flesh colliding intoxicated her. Their moans, his grunts, and the sheer breath of him made her dizzy with uncontrolled need. She cried out, pushing her hips in unison in an attempt to claim more of his length before she began to come. The steady escalating pleasure overwhelmed her, and she screamed in ecstasy. That’s when she felt something else stirring deep within her.
    “Come, my ebony goddess! Come hard for me,” he groaned, thrusting into her harder and less controlled than before. “Julia!” Angus slowed his actions more and more until there was no motion. He held himself deep within her. “Let yourself go, baby!”
    “Angus, I—” She threw her head back and allowed herself to be swallowed by their bonding and her dragon essence.
    “God . . . can’t hold on any longer.” Angus held off coming as long as he could. “Sweet, merciful . . . ”
    He continued stroking her into a frenzy as her body spurred him on. Together they came, Julia’s body milking him, and his, helpless to resist the sweet, delectable spasms that overpowered his body.
    She felt her muscles clenching around him, milking him for all he had and more. Julia wanted more. She slid her hand between her thighs, caressing her clit, pinching it until she came again.
    Spent and completely sated, she collapsed under his large body. Angus lay on top, licking her shoulder before gliding his tongue down the center of her back and back up again. “You alright?”
    For a few seconds she couldn’t speak or move. Julia smiled as his fingers stroked her hair. “Wha—what happened ? ” she asked once she was able to breathe again. “I felt energized while we were making love; now I’m feeling completely drained. Feel like something is coming over me, never felt this way before.”
    “You’re fighting your change,” he admitted, rolling over on his side and pulling her possessively close to his body. “You’re fighting what you are.”
    “I’m scared.”
    “Don’t be. I am here for you and will be with you throughout your change. Soon you’ll learn to shift at will.”
    “What will I become? I mean, how will I deal with this . . . change?” She shuddered. “What the hell will I look like?”
    He hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head. “You’ll deal with it the way you’re intended to. Trust me. The dragon is a part of you. There’s no need to stifle it any longer and no need to worry what you’ll look like.”
    Julia wondered about many things as she nestled within Angus’s arms. Confusion set in, and it and her future seemed cloudy at the moment. “What is it like in Pyreer?”
    “We don’t have to hide who we are there.”
    She turned to face him, suddenly armed with many questions. “Do we have to live there all the time? What about your company? Are you ready to give that up?”
    “I’d prefer it. You will be happy, I promise. Furthermore, Draguun Incorporated will be turned over to Bjorn, so I’m not worried about the company.”
    “But what if I’m not happy there? I’ll miss it here. My place is here, in the hu—”
    “You’re not human; you never were,” Angus interjected. “You cling to a world which will never fully accept the
