Frowning, Drago tried again and then again and again, but all with the same unsatisfactory results. At last he stopped and sat back on his heels, frowning in frustration.
“What is it? Is it working?” Addison turned her head to look up at him hopefully.
Reluctantly, Drago shook his head.
“Afraid not, baby. I’m not sure why. Does it feel any better?”
Addison had an uncertain look on her face.
“A little, I think. But it seems to be having a different effect on me,” she admitted.
“What kind of effect?” he asked, frowning. “Good or bad?”
“I mean…it feels good and bad.”
Drago shook his head.
“You’re going to have to explain better than that, baby.”
“Well…” She bit her lip. “It makes the burning on my back a little better, but every time you lick me there, I get this…this empty feeling. You know, inside.” She nodded down at herself and Drago finally understood what she was saying.
“You mean in your pussy?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. “Your pussy feels empty?
“Yes.” She nodded, looking ashamed. “Like I need to be filled. But not with your fingers this time—I need something bigger.”
Both of them looked involuntarily down at the bulge in Drago’s flight leathers and he frowned and shook his head.
“I don’t know, baby…”
“Please, Drago?” she begged softly. “Remember how Ls Prissa told us that The Thirst would make me crave both blood and seed? And, well, I drank your blood, but I never really got any of your seed inside me where it was supposed to go.”
“She also said that you might get instantly pregnant,” Drago reminded her.
“Yes, but that was while Sheelash was still alive,” Addie pointed out. “She’s dead now—don’t you think that will make a difference? Since she’s not around to, you know, exert her will?”
“What if it wasn’t her will? What if it was her venom—that ‘Bounty of Sheelash’ that you drank?” Drago asked.
Addie wilted.
“You’re right—it was a stupid idea. I just feel so empty inside and my back is burning.”
Drago felt a surge of pity and worry for her. She was so sweet and delicate and naked—he wanted to gather her into his arms and make things right for her. It killed him to say “no” to anything she wanted.
But he didn’t want her to have to risk the instant pregnancy and he also didn’t want her to end up Bonded to him. On his home world, it was a great shame for a woman to be Bound to a male with a Primal Drake. He didn’t want to do that to Addison—he cared about her too much. But at the same time, he had to do something for her—she was in pain!
Suddenly he had an idea.

“Ithink I know a way I can help you,” Drago rumbled. “But you’d have to be a very good girl and hold still for me.”
“Really? What is it?” Addie looked up eagerly. Her back was still burning but to be honest, it was her pussy that was consuming most of her attention now. It felt so empty—so needy. It reminded her of the way her throat had been so dry before Drago had Quenched her Thirst.
Maybe that’s the problem, she thought. He only Quenched half of my Thirst. The other half is sexual.
Though the big Kindred had allowed her to rub against him and had shot his cream all over her pussy, he hadn’t actually spurted any inside her. That was what she needed, Addie thought. But she felt embarrassed to tell him.
But Drago seemed to have figured it out for himself.
“I think I know how to help,” he repeated. “You need my shaft and my cum inside you, but we need to do it without risking pregnancy or Bonding.”
“How can we do that, though?” Addie asked, frowning.
“By putting my shaft inside you but withholding my Bonding Knot,” he explained. “As long as I don’t knot you, I can’t get you pregnant.”
“So you can come inside me but as long your knot isn’t in my pussy, we can’t Bond and I won’t get pregnant?” Addie asked, frowning. She remembered her friend who was Bonded to a Beast Kindred mentioning this. “Because we won’t be having Bonding Sex—right?”
Drago nodded.
“Exactly. And hopefully once we fill that emptiness inside you, this damn web that’s all over your back will fade. The same way your fangs disappeared once you got your fill of blood.”
Addie felt her face get hot—she was still ashamed of draining him almost dry. It was lucky that he was so big—she was certain a human man wouldn’t have survived the Thirst Quenching ceremony.
“All right,” she said, spreading her legs wider and tilting her hips back. “Let’s try it. Put yourself inside me, Drago—fill me up, please.”
His golden eyes flashed and went half-lidded.
“Mmm, it will be my pleasure to fill your sweet pussy, baby. But you’re so small and I’m so tall, I think we need to make an adjustment.”
