Page 49 of Bewitching the Dragon
“Yeah, I’m okay with it, considering the outcome.”
“Well, anyway, Pacey took Argyle to the guesthouse, and I sort of wanted to give you a break from all the family drama, so I brought you here.”
She closed her eyes and groaned. “Family drama is right.” Then she opened her eyes again. “Is he okay? Argyle, I mean?”
Rahu nodded. “Ketu’s been giving me periodic updates. Argyle is fine. He’d like to see you. But there’s no rush. Or, if you don’t want to talk to him, I’ll make sure he understands he needs to leave you the hell alone.”
She smiled and leaned over to kiss him. “Thank you for being my champion.”
He chuckled. “You’re the demigod in this relationship.”
She pushed up onto her elbow. “We’re in a relationship?”
He slanted his gaze to the side. “Er…”
“Because that’s what I want.”
He focused back on her, staring into those beautiful blue eyes that held so much depth, so much…love. Yeah, he could actually see it in there, swirling around, and it was all for him.
Him.
"I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.”
She sighed. “I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have believed you anyway. But maybe we should agree: no more secrets.”
“Agreed.” He paused. “My dragon thinks you’re our mate.”
“He does?”
Rahu nodded.
She smiled. “I think I’m happy to be your mate.”
“You are?”
“Why are you so shocked?”
He shrugged. “Because I’m not worthy of your love.”
She snorted.
“No, seriously.” He sucked in a deep breath, blew it out slowly. “There’s something you need to know about me.”
“Uh-oh. Is this going to be another dramatic family secret? Because that I’m not sure I’m ready for.”
He winced.
“Okay, just kidding. I can handle it. What is it?”
“I’m a half-breed too.”
“A—you are? You’re a dragon and a witch? Really?”
He shook his head. “My dad was human.”
Her eyes widened, and he waited for it. Waited for her to frown, for sadness to creep into her eyes. For her to tell him that he wasn’t good enough to be her mate, no matter what his dragon thought. The fact that he was half human, not even magical, while she was a freaking god, well…definitely not a match made in heaven.
“I don’t care,” she said.
