As I watch him walk away quickly I can only stare at the meadow floor. When I saw it at first I thought it was the most beautiful place that I have ever seen. The air was sweet because of the flowers and they were so soft as I ran my hands along him. Now as I stare at the meadow floor, it feels almost as if it is now tarnished. The air now has a bitterness to the sweet aroma.With a deep breath I finally take my eyes from the floor and look around. The man, Maximus, who is able to disappear just looks at me. I can't help my eyes that flicker to his bare upper body. Seeing that he is scarred I quickly look away as I wonder what to do next. Xander told him to take me back to where I would be staying. I guess we will do that now."Uh, why don't you just follow me" he says after clearing his throat. He puts his back to me as he takes the same exit as Xander before and I lift my feet to follow him as I think. How could he just talk to me like that? Did he honestly expect me just to handle
My dragon circles around the landing area until it is clear. I can see a few of the guards looking up at me as well as some of the other dragons on our premises. I have always known that it would be questioned of why I didn’t want anyone to see me with my robe off. For years, even during the last of my childhood they have respected my need for privacy. I can only hope that they will continue to do so.Eventually there will need to be a time when others will have to see our marks.“I have already told you that when such a time comes, then it will be fine. Until then you were to stop your pestering and take the measures I asked for” I remind him.You know I’m not surprised that our mate didn’t want to know us. You haven’t let anyone else here know us either. Might be something that you want to change.“I will be open and honest with our mate. That would be different than how I am with our people” I tell him.Finally.He swoops down to the smooth cement landing pad and rapidly chan
I slam the door to my room shut in anger. He really does have some nerve to think that he can just show up like that. To show up to the bathroom alone in all his naked glory wasn't enough. He had to go ahead and open his big fat mouth and make it worse. My anger is almost enough to stop me from thinking about all that gorgeous flesh of his on display.He was still large underneath that robe. Seeing how the muscles of his arms flexed when he moved made my heart race. Tracing the beautiful, golden tattoos that covered his form made my mouth water to do it with my tongue. And then his legs came into view. Strong and muscular. I knew that they would be because the top of him is so massive. Hell, the appendage hanging between his legs might as well have been considered to be one. I may not be a virgin but I definitely didn't know that they could come in that size. As the vision comes to mind once more I can feel my nipples tighten and my nether reasons grow moist once more. The chill in t
I can't even describe the want that I feel in my chest as I wait for answer. I just want her to give me a chance and if she is close by that would make it easier. Maybe if I really can't have her as a mate, then I would be happy just to see her every day. Over time the bond could work and I can take the time to change her mind. "You would give me my freedom, even if you will never get what you want?" she asks.With all the hope that I have in my body, I nod my head yes not trusting myself to speak. I have to get her to at least give me a chance if I want to stay a leader to my people. I struggle to swallow as I watch her think it over. The way she nibbles on her bottom lip when she is deep in thought is driving me crazy. I have never been so attracted to someone lips before. I clear my throat knowing that now is not the time for me to have these thoughts.The sound snaps her out of her head and she throws a glare in my direction. With a heavy sigh she turns to face me. "I have a cond
I turn over once more as I lay in the bed. I haven't seen one of this quality since I lived with my parents. The finest of the bed should have had me out like a light but for some reason I still couldn't sleep. My gaze turns to the door of this bedroom when I hear his close. He is literally right down the hall from me. I don't know why the thought does something exiting to me but it does. I shouldn't even care that he is close. I know nothing about him.With a huff I decide to sit up in the bed. I still can't sleep. I look around the décor of the room and find the colors even more soothing in the light of the night. I just feel like it's too quite here. There are no footsteps from guards walking the halls. No bed above me that creaks every time Nona moves. There isn't even any water gurgling from a toilet that constantly runs. As my ears prick to hear even the smallest noise, I hear his door open. The sound has me scooting to sit up on the edge of the bed as I listen for more. A few
And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer That we got this far And can you feel the love tonight? “Would you cut it out? All we did was get her to go along with us. It’s not like we got her to agree to be our mate already” I berate my dragon cutting off his horrible singing. I guess he finds it to be a sign of disrespect because he flashes me his tail and gives me his back. I am allowed to be excited. This is the first sign of trust our mate has shown us. Besides with her holding her hand in mine, all I feel is the love. I look down at our hands I continue to walk with her. When I notice how good it feels I tighten my hold on her hand just a little more. I could definitely get used to this. Taking a look at her I watch as her eyes repeatedly shift around the forest. I can no longer smell her fear in the air but I can still see it in her demeanor. You know my singing might work to make her feel more comfortable. I ha
I have to fight tears as I run out of the tavern. The beer that I looked forward to enjoying long forgotten as my heart squeezed in my chest. I can't believe that I was starting to be so foolish and to actually trust him. I know that I shouldn't be surprised because this is what happens every time. People always say and act one way to your face only to let their true colors be revealed.First my parents, and then my boyfriend. I haven't been able to trust anyone in years due to being in that stupid prison. Every day was just to survive to the next one. I feel like he lied to me. He said that I was his and I just wanted to badly to belong to someone. As I have the thought I realize that I never truly have.When I walk outside and the sun hits my face, it doesn't feel the same as it did earlier. The tears that have started to leak on my cheeks feel cold in the breeze. My vision is blurred as I head in a random direction away from the noise. When I am in the quiet of the trees a loud sob
If she kisses me, I will not be able to keep the heat at bay. I do not want to push her but I see her motives now as an invitation. I want to answer it."Don't, she has to give us permission. I will not take her by force" I tell him as he fights the need. I am not even forward right now and also feel the need to fight. Her scent was so strong just now in the forest. When he inhaled through his dragon breath it was like her scent filled every fiber of our breathing. If she were a few inches closer she would be able to feel every inch of our need.Then she decided to scent us as we were doing her. It took everything in us not to pull her closer so she was right against up. I wanted her to push her head into our neck where our scent is strongest so she could never be mistaken when she smelled it. I could do the same leaving my scent in her marking spot so that no one else would want to come near it. But we can't do that.My dragon is no longer able to keep control and he relinquishes
