They halted at the door, looking doubtful. Evie smiled at them as she approached. “I can handle him. You can go. Butfirst…”
Whap! First Helen and then Lynna. One sharp slap across the cheek. The twins looked too stunned to cryout.
“That’s for what you did to me. Go, unless you want Chase to turn you into dragonsushi.”
With whimpers, the twins fled out the door. Chase growled and started after them, but Evieintercepted.
“They can’t hurt me anymore, Chase. Please.” She tugged at his arm. “Let them go. I needyou.”
He cast a doubtful look at the door. “They deservepunishment.”
“Yes. But not now. Later,” she cajoled. “Right now I need you to see me, really seeme.”
At last he turned back, and she reached up to frame his face with her trembling hands. “Chase, something happened to you when you touched the dragonspice. It changed you. I need to find the old Chase, the dragon who loved me and would do anything for me. Come back tome.”
Sliding her arms around his neck, she stood on tiptoe and did the only thing she knew would distract him. Evie kissedhim.
“Make love to me,” she whispered. “I want you somuch.”
He swept her up into his arms and floated up the stairs. Evie closed her eyes, realizing he was flying without wings, without havingshapeshifted.
If the dragonspice potion did this to him, what powers did the real wizards of the Brehonpossess?
Chapter 9
Chase neededto get inside his woman, right that very minute. Because if he couldn’t have her, he’d lose his grip onsanity.
“I need to fuck you, Evie. Rightnow.”
He hardly recognized his voice, deepened by sexual urgency. His cock hardenedpainfully.
He floated up the stairs as if flying, and set her on her feet at the landing, watching her as he opened the guest bedroom door. With languid grace, she came toward him. Each sinuous sway of her hips sent blood surging straight to his groin. A growl rumbled from hischest.
Mine.
He pulled her into the room and slammed the door shut with a hard kick. Breathing hard, Chase pinned her to the wall, desire cranked up to a frenzy at the flush of sexual heat on her face, the glittering arousal in her eyes mirroring hisown.
He had power now, enough power to get whatever hewanted.
He had Evie, all he everwanted.
He had never been rough with her before. Their lovemaking had been urgent, but always he’d held back, fearing to overwhelm her with his strength. But now he could not holdback.
Not when her need equaled hisown.
“I want you so much,” he muttered. “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll run out of here and stay as far away as you can before I touchyou.”
Chase released her. “I’ll give you until the count offive.”
Breathing hard, she gave a sultry smile. “I never did like what’s good for me. Five. Time’sup.”
They tore at each other’s clothing. His cock erect, Chase held on to his control by a bare thread. With a soft sigh and maintaining that sultry smile, Evie slipped off her panties andbra.
With a rough growl, he lunged, pushing her naked body back onto thebed.
Her lips were warm and soft and she tasted like strawberries, his favorite. He could kiss her all night, if it meant holding her thisclose.
And never lettinggo.
