It was, in fact, partly due to pheromones.
Not the part where he was utterly breathless and completely defeated, no—that part was all on him and his mate—but mainly the part where he realized that he was unusually supple.
He was so unusually supple that he had a moment where he panicked, thinking something was wrong.
Worse, he, Riley Hale Dravaryn, current half-baked dragon and former human, was experiencing a foreign phenomenon: self-lubrication.
Particularly from behind.
Lubrication itself wasn't exactly new to him. It was an essential part of enjoying each other and something Kael had been particular about.
He didn't want Riley to feel uncomfortable, so the golden dragon always took his time with that.
But that was in the front.
Not the back.
More importantly, as a male, how could he self-lubricate enough that his mate's tongue just slipped in?
And if this were normal, why only now?!
