Lucas was not beside her when she woke up. He didn't show up to drive her to work either.
A twinge of disappointment bloomed in her heart but she knew he couldn't always be by her side. He was a Dragon King for Christ's sake! She was sure his realm needed him more than she does.
His note and flower made up for his absence and his masculine musky scent had calmed her.
Last night...Goddess. She did it.
For the first time, she slept with a man. They didn't do anything, except cuddle and hug but it was satisfying. She had to admit she had doubts at first when she saw his chiseled and perfect body in his drawstring, however, it was all dissolves by how he was gentle with her. Combing her brown hair with his fingers and caressing her back soothingly until she fell asleep.
Could they do it again tonight? Maybe in his bed? Nah. Too soon.

LucasDamn shit! He shouldn't have told her. Now, he could see the determination in her velvet eyes."I want to be part of the investigation." His beautiful rider tilted her head up. He admired her courage. He did. However, the answer was NO. He would never put her in danger."No," they didn't know the whole facts and they had no idea who they were dealing with. One thing was for sure though. The suspect was supernatural."She is my friend and employee. I have the right to be there for her family." God! He was too tired to argue in the middle of the night, besides he had missed her.Anna Marie was getting a lot of concessions lately. How to say no?"Okay. But the moment it gets dangerous, I will send you home." Damn! She had him wrapped around her pinky. Her eyes brightened and she nodded. He groaned from the arousal shooting through him in an ins

Anna MarieLucas made good on his promise. When she woke up, breakfast was ready. His broad and muscled back comfortably leaning on the headboard while he waited for her -- her head on his lap as he finger-combed her tangled brown hair. She gazed at him dreamily.It's the first time someone has taken care of her. Usually, she had to wake up early to cook a breakfast buffet for everyone.After a soft good morning kiss, he served her a plate at the elegant table set up on her veranda that overlooked the gardens. In between their plates, there were fresh-picked flowers on a crystal vase.Maybe she had been too harsh to judge Lucas.She must confess, she enjoyed his company. No pressure. They used the time to get to know each other. He told her everything about his family while she gave him a bland version of hers. Praying he wouldn't probe too much. Especially her past. She w

Anna MarieShe stiffened her knees to prevent the nausea of fear coursing through her veins.The car brought her to an abandoned housing on 8th Avenue. She had only heard of this place in the news. This was the most dangerous part of Harlem. A lot of gang activities went on in this part of the city.Rie got out of the car slowly and it drove away, leaving her alone. The phone was doing its job in her back pocket so she was positive help will arrive soon.The street was so dark and no people milled about. Odd.She gasped when a hulk of a man moved out of the shadows. Shit! Now her suspicions proved correct, why the voice sounded so familiar over the phone."You came, Anna Marie."

Lucas"Be safe. I will wait here." Silence.A stunned expression decorated his hard features. He stood outside of an exclusive club when his Rie ended the call.Damn! His queen was the definition of challenge. He surmised he would have to look for better methods in wooing her. She had warmed up to him this morning. He had loved the relaxing feeling of her company.Later. Maybe he could take her out on a moonlit stroll and a picnic fondue. He made a mental note to ask for help from the sisters-in-law.Speaking of sisters. Where the hell was Indali?"Pat, where's my sister?" There was a pause on the other end. His question might have puzzled him because they both knew they were the best at what they do. He waited patiently for his sister's head of security to respond."Princess Indali is in the building, my king. I checked about 10

It had help -- only just.A surge of protectiveness calling forth hand in hand with extreme possessiveness surged through his veins. It took an effort to hold it down - tamping his impulses.

Anna MariePleasure.One word. Eight letters. He, the Dragon King, her mate, had given her that and more.So much more. Faith. Trust. She didn't know she was capable of giving credit to those words, to a strong male. A dominant and autocratic one at that. To let him touch her body and pleasure her until she screamed. It was like falling from the sky, confident and sure -- knowing that someone will catch her. Unfettered joy. It's like tasting freedom after such long imprisonment.She shuddered at the memory. This time in pleasure. More. Yes, more indeed.After their glorious morning, he carried her to the shower and proceeded to clean every inch of her sated body.

With his experience...Scowling in the dark --glaring at the ceiling-- she didn't dare to finish her thoughts. It was too disturbing. But...Does he have a lot of experience? Her mind blanked.
