I sit on the couch waiting patiently as he cleans up the class that I broke. I was so startled when he appeared in front of me that I almost screamed. He picked me up so fast that I could do nothing but hold onto the broadness of his shoulders as he carried me to the couch. When he release me I had to cross my legs at the tingling sensation that I got when he took all of my wait. He cleans up the mess in record time and comes back over to me. I watch his face and see his lips about to move when suddenly his entire body freezes. His eyes change to slits as they darken and his dragon eyes come forth. I follow his gaze as he stares at me and see that he is looking at my legs. When I recall what I am wearing my entire body blushes as I curse myself. I was just coming down to grab a quick drink before heading off to bed and forgot to put on the robe. My legs lay there completely bared to his gaze as I hear him swallow. Moving quickly I grab the pillow from the other end of the couch and t
Wait, Xander don’t---As I push my lips to hers the warmth of her warms my soul. My power rushes out as I push all the love that I can at her. If I want her to give me a chance then I have to show her what I can give her. She has left me no choice. I can’t just let her leave.My world goes gold as I watch the love take over her eyes and I stare into them. After a few moments, a sob leaves her chest and I try to pull away. The connection that I have made to her is too strong, however. I have no choice but to go along with the process as I watch my mate break right in front of me. The tears flow freely down her chest as her entire body stills. I have no idea what she is seeing through my gift but I know that the vibrations of her screams against my lips have yet to cease.She is on the other end. We can’t stop this. Oh, god Xander we can’t stop this.Tears fill my eyes as I watch my mate be tortured. I flex my arms as I hold her tighter against me wanting to bring her some kind of c
My eyes feel like sandpaper when I blink them open. Pain ricochets in my chest as a shuddering breath leaves my lips. Even though the sun is shining the day feels dull. Looking around the room I freeze. The golden colors around the room do not belong to me. Lifting my head from the warm hard surface I am laying on my eyes land on Xander’s face. His eyes are closed and the even rhythm of his breathing lets me know that he is sleeping.When my gaze travels down I quickly snatch my leg off of him. Why am I in his room? The thought of how we slept causes me to blush profusely. My body is cradled to his side. I can feel the muscles of his arm under my neck and I know that I used it as a pillow. My leg had decided to escape the confines of the robe I wear and was thrown across his thick waist. The memory of it causes me to shiver. At my shiver, his arm wraps tighter around me and a soft groan leaves his chest as his eyes flutter open. Inside I start to panic at what he will say. Before t
I stand inside the ether as I drop Xander off to his mate. I have no idea what the hell the human was thinking. When it comes to women I have learned one thing, be wary of tears. As soon as I saw her crying I came straight to get him. Besides, I can barely deal with the tears of my own mate let alone someone else’s. I have had enough tears to deal with during this damn pregnancy than any grown man should have to.You are the one that overreacts every time you see them. You are the reason she is mad again and denying us kisses.“Oh really, it’s all on me. If I remember correctly, you are the one that took over, flashed got her ice cream. You didn’t even ask if she was sad this time. You just kept giving her stuff until her crying turned to yelling. All I did was tell her she shouldn’t be yelling when I was concerned about her” I remind him as he tucks his tail in between his legs.I just wanted to make her feel better. Actions speak louder than words.“Our mate is a reporter. Her l
Before I have even made the conscious decision to do it I find myself outside. My feet seem to have their own destination in mind as I let them lead me through the cabins here. The designs of them fill me with awe. It looks like every one differs from the other. If I had to guess I would say that each person designed the home they wanted. When I round the next bend my feet stop.A blur runs past me and into the trees. I get a brief flash of Emily’s face as she looks at me in near fright. Unknown to what caused this reaction I chase after her through the trees. The way she moves has me out of breath within moments. When I do finally catch up to her she is kneeling next to a tree. She crouches as she holds her stomach and groans leave her mouth.“Emily, are you okay? Why are you running?” I have to question her because that can’t be a good thing to do in her condition. Especially not as far long as she looks. I step closer to her when she doesn’t answer me and go to place a hand on he
As we come in for a landing we decide to skip right over the landing the pad. Considering the fact that we shredded our clothes it would be better to shift near the source of them. We land gently in the space behind my cabin. My dragon immediately release control as he retreats to the back of my mind. The pain that we feel at the moment is unbearable and he hasn’t been able to say a word to me. I rush through the trees as I listen for movement. When I reach for the door I pause with a curse as I inhale. Maybe taking a flight for the entire day wasn’t such a smart idea. I was so distracted with thoughts of our mate during the flight that I forgot that I needed to make arrangements for somewhere else to stay. I crack the door open and sniff the air for her scent. Her scents hits me but it smells faded as if she has been gone a while.Not wanting to interrupt her if she were to come back I hurry and make my way to my room. I have the thought to shower before changing but decide that t
The food on my plate is amazing. It really is hands down the best fried chicken that I have ever had. Knowing that I am trying his favorite food sends butterflies through my stomach for some reason. It’s like we secretly share something. To say that the dinner is awkward would be an understatement. There have been long moments of silence with no one saying anything as we all eat. My gaze keeps flying to him to see what he is doing but he almost seems distracted. Every other time that I have been with him he seems to be so well put together. If I had to guess, I would say that his parents don’t know about me yet. Well, if I am so important to him as he says, then why not tell them. The thought puts a sour taste in my mouth and I can no longer enjoy the delicious food. When his mother suggest that I can look forward to becoming his mate it’s almost like something in me snaps. “Who’s to say that I even want a mate. Not everyone needs love to go about their daily life” I say rudely.
I frown as the underling that I’m with on this mission hits the woman harder than necessary. If she is the mate of the dragon alpha then our employer really doesn’t want her harmed. He will pay for that later but he just doesn’t know it. The woman in my arms starts to squirm. I tighten my grip on her as I warn her to keep still. I drag her through the water as the underling keeps the water bridge under our feet steady.He places the woman that we aren’t taking with us on the edge of the rocks halfheartedly. I can even hear him grunt as he lifts her weight. So weak. She is nothing but a tiny little female and he struggles with her. This may be his first mission but I know that he won’t last long. Being in the program is tough job. All weaknesses are exploited and death comes soon after. This would have been way more difficult if the mermaid weren’t on this mission. I just needed him to hold up the bridge or to be bait for the others. A growl leave my mouth at this irritating mask. I
