“I told you I don’t fight by arena rules,” I shrugged.

“We’d get a bigger crowd from 1 if this was how the arena worked,” he laughed.

I stepped back and slid my hands up and down his thighs. He followed my fingers with his gaze as I inched near all the places that might’ve driven him up the wall but always stopped short. He smelled somewhere between annoyed and enjoyment.That’s usually how subs smelled when you were teasing or edging them. I traced his scrotum with my fingertips and he let out a long stream of steam from his mouth.

“Gotta remember that spot,” I smirked when I stepped away.

I walked to the side of the altar considering whether to tease him some more or to head back to his bag of tricks. I rounded the head of the altar and rested my hands on his shoulders. Before the purple district I was touch hungry. I wanted to touch and be touched. I wanted to be pressed inside a crowd of bodies dancing and grinding. Anything that would make me feel connected to the larger world.

“I get that,” Selt nodded, picking up my stray thoughts over the flight link. “I think that’s why the purple district and the arena are around. We need excuses and special places to touch each other.”

I ran my hands over his shoulders and chest before running one up and down his throat. He purred under my touch. I loved that mechanical sound most dragons were capable of when we were happy. You didn’t hear it as often here as you did back home, but I still loved it.

Leaning down, I kissed him on the forehead before whispering in his ear, “it’s time for the next plug.”

This time I skipped several of the ‘step ups.’ He was hard as hell and dribbling precum down his shaft. His shoulders weren’t as tense as they were when I first bound him to the stone slab.

I fingered him between removing the first plug and putting in the next. His body relaxed for me, welcoming me in, as Selt bit his lip, trying to swallow down a moan. I didn’t give up until one finally escaped his mouth. That’s when I had him right where I wanted him. So, I stopped rocking my fingers inside him and gave him the plug.

“Fuck,” he groaned, pushing down against it.

I met his gaze and held it as the plug slid into place and his dick twitched.

“Soon, sweetheart,” I smirked. “Really soon. Well, it’ll feel like a long time for you but it’ll be soon.”

“Asshole!” he roared, and I slapped his ass again. Selt was definitely topping from the bottom, but he’d be the one sitting gingerly later not me. More steam poured from his mouth, and I gave him a few more slaps on his ass to ensure he got the message. Of course he had before. That’s why he called me an asshole again but at the end of the day this was sex and good sex meant everyone involved got something they wanted. Besides, I liked how his ass flexed up all tight around the plug when I slapped it.

Selt’s nostrils flared as I stepped back between his legs. He was sexy. Sure, he had an attitude problem and needed therapy as much as he deserved a spanking. Still, though. He was the right sort of trouble for me – at least for today. I wrapped my fist around his hard dick and he hissed out a long breath. Meeting his gaze, I held onto his dick, keeping my hand still for a few moments. He didn’t buck but the look in his eyes told me that was taking willpower.

“What’s a cock tease?” I asked, taking pity on the poor tied up dragon and trying to offer a distraction.

“You,” he spat out the word.

“I know. I never said I wasn’t. Between us, our kinks probably means this vocabulary lesson will be a failure. I plan on cumming tonight. So, you’re going to have to cum when I tell you to. But Laken is not a cock tease. His existing and kicking ass and being an omega does not make him a cock tease.” I tightened my grip on his dick. “It’s best that we get all this out of the way while you’re still tied up and we’re fighting with arousal and not our fists.”

He opened his mouth and shut it again. Had my timing killed the mood? His dick was still throbbing against my palm.

“I’ll apologize if that’s what you want,” he said a second later. “I—It felt like an out of body experience.”

“Therapy, friend. Therapy and I’m not saying that in a smartassed way. The world – whatever world we live on – will always be unfair in some way. We can’t go around lashing out at people who don’t want to fuck us because of that.”

“That’s not usually how I handle things.”

“I’d hope not because I’d like to get the gateways set up and not have to kick your ass. Though your literal ass might feel like I did come tomorrow,” I chuckled.

He opened his mouth but whatever he said morphed into a moan as I leaned forward to lick around the head of his cock. I took my time, drawing out each tiny movement. He tasted good and I reveled in how warm his flesh was against my tongue. I licked down his shaft still taking my time. Selt tried to buck up again, but I was ready for him. I grabbed his balls with my free hand and held onto them. They were heavy with need, and he wasn’t about to yank too far away from where I held them in place. He cursed under his breath, his legs trembling on either side of me as his breaths came in heavy pants. His balls grew heavier, and I pulled my mouth away and let go of them at the last second before he reached the point of no return.

“You’re such an asshole!” He groaned, bucking his hips up now that doing so didn’t endanger his balls.

“I am,” I nodded. “I’m an asshole and that’s exactly what you were looking for tonight, Selt. We both know it.”

He didn’t deny it. I could’ve grabbed a riding crop from anywhere in the club but didn’t want to leave him on his own. His headspace wasn’t exactly subspace, but we’d hit a rhythm together and I didn’t want to endanger that. After how up in arms Sunny got after we had sex, I needed something simple.Something carnal that was just that. Something that didn’t break anything that took a lifetime to build.

“Asshole,” he said again, his eyes narrowing on me.

Holding onto one of his thighs I traced a couple circles around the head of his cock until the tension left his core and his eyes drifted shut. That’s when I slapped him on the ass. His whole body jarred, and his eyes opened wide. A handprint was left behind, but he gave me the slightest nod. That’s all I needed to slap his ass again after I pushed his balls up and out of my way.

“FUCK!” He growled but I wasn’t finished spanking him.
