Dragon's Clutch (Sanmere Shifters Book 3)

knew which part she had to have reached. The almost kiss. He hoped this wasn’t a mistake, but he could hardly call it off now without her thinking she had done something wrong.
“Whenever you’re ready, start from the line ‘Oh great, it’s you’,” Callin said.
Brianne read the line and Callin answered with his own line, slowly closing the gap between him and Brianne. They went through the lines and Callin knew he had been right. With the very real chemistry that bubbled between him and Brianne, the lines sounded good, but he knew without that authentic tension in the air, the scene would feel flat and audiences wouldn’t be convinced by it at all.
He could see Brianne was enjoying the moment, though, and so he kept going, not calling time on the scene. He had to admit he was enjoying it himself, although he thought for him, it was for a very different reason. For him, it was the moment of closeness with Brianne. For her, he thought it was more likely to be the novelty of reading the lines with him.
He followed the directions from the script and Brianne did the same, getting quite into the character. He had closed the gap between them completely now and he stood so close to Brianne that he could feel the warmth of her breath on his face when she spoke her final line. He looked deep into her eyes like the script directed him to do, and he counted three beats. That was the point the director would call cut.
Instead of doing that himself, Callin reached down and took the script from Brianne’s hand. He dropped it to the ground, still looking deep into her eyes. Her chest was heaving, her eyes seeking his for the answers as to what he was doing. She made no move to step away from him, though, and finally, Callin let his dragon’s desire take over from his head.
He reached out and touched Brianne’s cheek, and then he closed the last inch that separated his lips from hers. He kissed her deeply and she responded to the kiss, kissing back every bit as hungrily as he kissed her. He pushed one of his hands into her hair and placed his other hand on the small of her back, pulling her more tightly against him. She wrapped her arms around him, her hands roaming over his back and sides. She pulled his shirt free from his jeans and pushed her hands beneath it, touching his bare skin. Her hands were warm and soft and her touch sent waves of desire spreading through his body. He wanted her with everything he had, and he knew he had to do whatever it took to make her his.
She pulled back slightly from him, breaking their kiss, and for a horrible moment, Callin thought Brianne was going to be upset with him for kissing her, accuse him of taking advantage of him, say she just got caught up in the moment. Instead, she smiled and he relaxed slightly.
“I don’t think that was in the script,” she said in a breathy voice that made his already hard cock stiffen further against her.
“Let’s just say we’re going a little off book,” Callin said. “I…”
He didn’t get to finish the thought as Brianne’s mouth closed over his again. Her kiss made his whole body tingle with need. She tasted sweet, like the soda she had likely been drinking before she crawled beneath her desk. Her tongue sought out his, wrestling with it and caressing it.
Her hands continued to roam over his body for a moment, and then they were gone, and she was pushing them between their bodies, fumbling his buttons open. He took that as her wanting more, and it was as if they had both been unleashed as their hands grasped at each other’s clothes, tugging them off and casting them aside until they stood naked together, looking at each other, their chests heaving.
Callin picked Brianne up, sitting her on the trunk of the car behind her. She was as light as a feather, her tiny frame barely weighing a thing. Callin felt like he should be gentle with her. He was almost afraid he would break her, but Brianne seemed to have no such worries. She took his hand when he set her down, pushing it between her spread legs. He felt her warmth, felt how wet she was, and any idea that she was somehow fragile went out of his head as his fingers began to work her clit.
She gasped as he moved his fingers on her and her mouth came up and found his again. She kissed him like she never wanted to let him go again, and he realized that she had felt this pent-up desire every bit as much as he had, that she, too, had likely been trying to work out a way for them to spend some time alone together. Shauna leaving on time for once had actually worked out better than Callin could have ever imagined it would. Maybe I should give her a bonus, he thought to himself.
Callin moved his mouth away from Brianne’s, kissing down her neck and over the top of her shoulder. He moved his face lower, sucking one of her pert little breasts into his mouth. He sucked on her nipple and she moaned. The sound made Callin’s body shiver and he knew he had to work on Brianne fast before he lost control and had to be inside of her.
He kissed down her stomach and took his hand away from between her legs. She moaned in frustration as his fingers left her, but the moan became a moan of pleasure as he fell to his knees before her and replaced his fingers with his tongue. He licked her clit, tasting her salty arousal. She pushed her hands into his hair, holding his face in place against her, and he worked her clit, wanting her to know how
