The Summoning (Dragon's Lair #2) by Seraphina Donavan



As dragon shifters, Remy and Philippe had spent their lives searching for their perfect mate, and in Lilly Montague, they found her. But enemies from their past are threatening their happiness. Dragon law dictates that they must meet the issued challenge and face their enemies in battle. But when Lilly sees them in Dragon form, will she be able to accept them?

Type: Paranormal Erotic Romance, Shifters (Dragons), Menage (m/m/f and m/f/m), Short Story (46pgs)
Heat: 4 out of 5
Rating: 4 out of 5


Three words, people. Dragon. Shifter. Menage. *kathunk* I mean, really. That's pretty much an insta-favorite for me. And damn I really enjoyed it even with it being a short story. The characters were sexy, there's some danger involved, lots of delicious sheet time between the three main characters, Philippe, Remy and their mate Lilly including a little boy on boy action and it was just an easy read. Happy cat herder. Very happy cat herder. lol



I was really impressed with how much story was actually told in the number of pages included. There's a good deal of sexy bits but it felt natural and suited the story and characters. And because the three were already mated before the story started you could feel that bond between them and it just worked.
"Is nothing sacred? You should know better than to steal pastries from a woman, Philippe."

He leveled a challenging stare at her. "Are you going to punish me??
...
"Are you putting in a request?" she challenged back.

"Always. Take me upstairs right now, tie me up, and show me what a bad boy I've been," he answered playfully then planted a sugary kiss on her lips.
I'm really a total Dragon shifter girl and have read all of the ones I've been able to get my hands on but Donovan's take on them was truly unique and really interesting. I loved that she put her own spin on the shifters and how they work. It was very nicely done.

While The Summoning works as a stand alone I did end the story with a couple questions regarding the dragons as a whole and the club that the guys own. Nothing major but I would have liked a couple things fleshed out and explained just a bit more. I'm definitely going back to check out book one. I'm wondering if some of it will be explained in there. Hopefully just for my curiosity's sake. Either way this was a fun, sexy and entertaining read and is perfect if you're looking for something you can finish in one sitting and to spice up the afternoon.


Have you read Seraphinia Donavan? Do you have a favorite?
Do you love dragon shifters like me? Which ones are your go to dragons?


Mmmhmm. Sometimes 2 is better than 1. 


Lilly Montague smiled, her full lips curving upward as she savored the glide of her lover’s hand over her thigh. It had been only six months earlier that she had first met Philippe, in the very same exclusive club where they now indulged their desires. Sprawled atop him, her breasts crushed tightly against his chest and the hard ridge of his massive arousal pressed intimately into the juncture of her thighs, she savored the sensation. Still, there was something missing, or someone, more particularly. She was trying not to think about it, but her mind refused to cooperate. Lilly had two lovers in fact, two beautiful men who saw to her every whim and desire, as well as to one another’s. Rising on her elbows, she stared into Philippe’s handsome face, noting the honey-colored scruff that shadowed his firm jaw, highlighting the supple curve of his lips.

When he met her gaze, he sighed just a bit. “Stop thinking about it.”


Lilly’s sigh matched his. “I know he’s only been gone for a few days, but it feels like an eternity.”


Philippe’s hand moved farther up her thigh, disappearing beneath the hem of her skirt, and encountered nothing but bare skin. “You need a distraction, cher.”


Lilly shivered as his hand coasted over her behind, his fingertips lightly dipping into the cleft. “Don’t tell me,” she said. “Show me.”


It was only seconds later that she felt his lips on hers, claiming, ravaging her mouth in a hot, almost brutal kiss. His left hand fisted into her hair, using the dark locks to tug her head back. The other hand continued the sensual torment, sliding over the curve of her behind, between her parted thighs, his thumb circling the tight rosette while his fingers delved between dew-slicked folds. She let out a soft moan, unable to hold it back. There were other people in the club. The bartender was stocking the coolers with beer and other refreshments, and the new waitresses were in the storage room, doing inventory to make certain that all members’ toy chests were accounted for. Lilly thought of the first time she’d been in the storage room, seeing the various and sundry items that the club’s members used for their pleasure. Remy had been with her, his hot gaze like a physical caress on her body. She hadn’t known then who she wanted more, Remy or Philippe. It had never dawned on her to imagine that she would have them both.


“So wet, so hot for me,” he murmured, his teeth scraping over the sensitive skin of her throat. It wasn’t the first time he’d done that, and she knew it would leave a mark. But the delicious shivers arcing through her body made it more than worthwhile.


Remy stepped into the dimly lit interior of Dragon’s Lair, his own private domain. At the end of the hallway, entering the main room, he paused and took in the scene before him. On the far side of the room, in the private alcove reserved for the three of them, Lilly and Philippe were ravishing one another. The hot kisses, the sight of Philippe’s skilled hand pumping into the sweetness of Lilly’s cunt, had him hard instantly. He didn’t have to make a sound. Philippe looked at him over Lilly’s shoulder, and Remy felt the zing of connection between them. There was a fantasy building in his mind, a tableaux that he allowed to play out for Philippe’s benefit. It had been nearly a week since he’d had them, since he’d tasted either one of them. Other things would wait, but his passion would not.


Moving toward them silently, he began to remove his tie and then his jacket. By the time he reached the alcove, his shirt was unbuttoned and his cock was raging. Philippe was urging Lilly on, whispering hot, erotic things to her that did not leave any of them unaffected. Her top went first, some gauzy confection that only highlighted her feminine appeal. It landed in a dainty heap on the floor, followed by her skirt. Clad only in high heels and a black lace bra, she straddled Philippe’s hips, rocking against the massive erection he sported for her. Moving behind her, Remy slid his hands over her shoulders, down to the soft globes of her breasts. He closed his fingers over her nipples, pinching them with just the amount of force she liked. She shuddered and leaned back against him.


“I’m so glad you’re home,” she said on a dreamy sigh.


He smiled as he claimed her mouth, tasting Philippe’s kiss on her lips. “I’m glad to be home... I’ve missed you. Both of you.”
