“Awesome!” I jumped up and dressed in my warmest outfit. While we hadn’t been snowed in, we did get quite a bit of the white menace that buried my poor little car. Not that I wanted to leave anytime soon, which surprised me. “Can you talk to me while in your dragon form?” It didn’t take as long as I thought to get used to the whole shifter thing, especially when Kyson’s dragon tongue did all those wonderful things to me.
And the claws. They were just as magical as I’d imagined.
“Hmm, great question. I know mates can mentally communicate, but I don’t know anyone else with a human one, so I guess we’ll get to test that theory out.” Kyson hopped out of bed and kissed me. “No reason for me to get dressed so I’ll meet you outside.”
That gorgeous man strutted from the room and turned halfway through the living room. “Are you staring at my ass?”
“And if I was?” Long hair, fine ass, perfect amount of body hair. Don’t even get me started on that glorious appendage of his.
There was that sexy growl I’d grown fond of. “Ask me again later.” He winked and walked right out of the sliding door and into the snow, naked as he was the day he was born.
My worst fears prior to coming here were no longer valid. Mating, becoming a baby maker—none of it scared me anymore. I mean, when or if I ever get pregnant, I’m sure I’ll have a couple freak outs during it, but it was like something about Kyson calmed me, and for the first time I saw everything I’d once feared in a completely different light.
Did the mating do that? Take away all the fears?
But with that comes a series of questions, such as where are we gonna live? Do I move in with him, or would he move in with me?
Why would I stay where I am whenone, I’m miserable andtwo, it is within driving distance for my parents. Hopefully Kyson lived far, far away. Best to make a clean break after I announce I’m mated to them. I can’t wait to see the look on my mother’s face. Serves her right.
Hell, this whole finding your mate thing may solve more than one problem for me.
Logistics, getting to know one another, the whole shifter thing. Guess we had quite a lot to work still through, no use getting ahead of myself just yet. But all that fell to the bottom of thepile once I stepped outside and saw my mate in all his brilliant dragon glory.
“Holy shit, you’re huge!”
That’s what he said.
I laughed before it hit me.
“I heard you!”
Mates.
“Is that your dragon? His voice is so deep.”
It was. He’s rather proud of himself right now and wants to show off for you.
“Can I touch you?”
Please do.
His scales were soft to the touch, yet firm. Dark blue, turquoise and a hint of a reddish purple ran down his chest and across the neck area. “You’re stunning.”
Thank you, mate.
As I walked the length of him, my hands trailed along his sides. His tail was wicked cool and clearly meant to be utilized as a weapon, given its trident-like shape and razor-sharp edges. Spikes ranging in various sizes ran the length of his spine. When I rubbed the bridge of his nose the familiar smoke released as those eerie red eyes stared back at me.
“Does it hurt when I touch you?”
No, it feels amazing.
“Your fangs are gigantic and quite scary, to be honest.”
They’ll never harm you, nor will I.
Somehow, I already knew that.
Stand back, mate.
