She took the gift of her virginity from me. How dare she! I jumped from the landing at the end of the hall into my eating tower. My roar was loud; the burst of flames and smoke would incinerate anything in its path. My wings pulled me up to the parapet and out to the open sky. The moons shone bright, and I flew fast, heading for her town. Because she didn't know how many men despoiled her, I would kill them all. The crash through realms was painful. It didn't need to be, but I craved this pain, relished it.

The town slept, the lights off. I swooped in low, my wings grazing the tops of their houses, and I roared. She made me crazy. I wanted death, blood, a fight. Killing these humans would give me two of the three. With a burst of flame to their public building, it exploded. Humans poured from their homes, women screamed, children cried. I made one last pass before changing my course. Was anyone inside the burned building? A small part of me didn't want a human death on my hands. Acasia's words made it a smaller part than usual, so I refused to feel guilty.

I flew to Laryn's territory after crashing through the realm again. "Fight me, you no good motherfucker," I bellowed from above his lair.

He didn't keep me waiting. His claiming bride died recently. He covered his grief well, but I knew he burned with sadness on the inside. His roar thundered through the air, his smoke and fire close behind.

"You dare enter my territory without invite. I will kill you, Bastian."

"You will try, you lily livered blue bastard." I expected the impact, needed more pain. Something to take the ache from my heart.

Our clash knocked me back, spinning us both through the sky, our talons locked into the other's scales. No serious damage done, but it hurt and yet felt wonderful at the same time.

"You moron dragon, I thought you claimed your bride this week. Has she rebuffed you so early that you run from her with your tail between your shaking talons?"

My roar exploded as I twisted free and rose higher. I dove, taking him from above, carrying us both downward. He tore away, but managed to slice my wing, ripping a large gash in the unprotected inner flesh. I could still fly, still fight, but my anger receded with the agony. I landed in the soft grass, hanging my head.

Laryn shouted from above, "It's no fun killing a pathetic dragon. Is there something I can say to bring your anger back?"

I watched him land twenty feet away. "Why are females so difficult?" I mumbled.

His blue head flew back, smoke and fire shooting from his mouth, bellowing laughter. "To expect anything different, Bastian, makes you a foolish dragon. Go back to your female and talk her to death, woo her, as is your want. But stay out of my territory."

I shook my head, softening my armor, going out of fight mode. "Are we on for cards next week?"

"Yes, Sarn's place, same time. Bring your female so I can meet her."

I gave a grumpy growl. "Steal her, you mean."

"If you can't protect your bride, then it's always a possibility." His blue eyes shone brighter.

"Humph, you could try. You would die."

"Save your poetry for your bride. You will need it, you ugly, red-spawned demon from hell." He turned away and flew off.

The sun was full up when I saw my lair in the distance. I pulled magic within me, healing my wing and alleviating the pain. She wore a long flowing gown of white similar to her claiming dress but far more luxurious. She stood on the edge of my perch outside my bedroom. My heart dropped. I was too far away to catch her if she jumped. I pumped my wings, eating up the space between us.

"Do not jump, Acasia," I shouted. It was a plea, but I didn't care.

"Did you kill them?" Her sadness swelled within me.

"I killed no one." At least I hoped I didn't.

"Can I trust you, Bastian?"

I was closer now. Close enough to catch her if she jumped. My brain registered her use of my name at the same time she dove over the side.

What the hell? The woman was crazy, no... insane.

I caught her easily, my talons closing around her body, pulling her close to my chest. "You stupid female," I growled.

She actually giggled. "I knew you would catch me. I lied last night. No man has touched me. I was angry and wanted to pay you back for keeping the truth from me. I realized after you left that you would kill them. All the men. But none of them ever even looked my way."

I took us higher, my heart swelling with joy. "They looked at you, silly female. I wanted to kill them but couldn't. I may have left a building at the center of town in flames, though." She burst into full laughter and made my heart swell near to bursting.

Her palm opened against the scales on my chest. "You used my name earlier. May I stop being 'female,' 'human,' or any of the other things you call me?" She caressed me with her fingers as well as her voice.

I would give her anything at this moment. "Yes, Acasia, I shall use your name unless you are acting like a stubborn woman, stupid human, or foolish female." I flew us to a clearing with soft grass, gently spilling her from my hold before landing far enough away not to hurt her.

She dusted specks of dirt and grass from her dress, eyes alight with merriment. "Why did you throw a fit and trash your filthy tower last night, Bastian?"

She'd seen my rage, didn't run from it even after tempting me to murder. Definitely insane. But more beautiful than any bride I'd ever known. "I was jealous of your finger." I huffed it out, the thought still making my anger rise.

"My what?" It took her a moment, but then I watched her cheeks heat, turning a bright red. "Oh."

"I want your pleasure. I want to be the first."

She looked down and mumbled softly, "I never placed my finger past the barrier."

I came closer, lifting her chin with a talon bigger than her head. "Thank you, Acasia. I will treat your innocence with care."

Her gaze burned into mine. "I do not wish to remain innocent any longer, dragon, or I will be forced to use my finger."

Oh, my stubborn lady. How could I not laugh at her demands? I felt my armor slide away, freeing my cock as it grew. If she'd watched last night, she'd seen me at full mast. The way she looked at me this moment made me want to blare my mating shout. The sound I could only give when taking my mate in dragon form. I'd given up ever finding a dragon mate, but I could make this female my true bride.

I pulled in the magic and shifted.

I stood tall, proud, and human in front of her, my cock on full display. She looked at me, her gaze traveling my body before slowing returning to my eyes.

Her voice quivered. "Will it hurt?"

    "I'm Acasia." She gestures behind her. "This is Bastian. We're very pleased to meet you. We just didn't expect you after what Jewel told us."I drop her hand and interlock my fingers in front of me so maybe I won't strangle her son in front of her. "I didn't expect to be here either," I reply honestly."Mother."We all turn to Ashrac."I'm in the middle of a kidnapping here and it would be better if we had this conversation another time. I haven't gotten to the having my wicked way with her part yet."My elbow slips and lands directly in his ribs. My cheeks burn. Boiling oil's too good for the ratfink.His father steps closer, his expression filled with concern and more than a touch of anger. "Flora, I will take you back to Earth if you wish to return."A loud rumbling growl leaves Ashrac's throat. "She is my mate, Father. No one will be taking her anywhere but me."Bastian's eyebrows arch. I'm guessing Ashrac doesn't usually speak to his parents this way. Decisions, decisions.

    My eyes peel open to sunshine. I'm in Ashrac's room, in his bed, and he isn't. I look around and still no Ashrac. I stretch my arms and I'm about to rise from the bed when a shadow passes in front of the window from the balcony. Dragonbreath went for a flight without me. We'll be discussing this after he comes back to bed and welcomes the new day with me like he should have.The dragon's shadow shifts to a smaller human than Ashrac and before I can put together what human it is, Jewel pops her head in the window. She looks at me questioningly. I pull the cover over my bare breasts that were perky and waiting for my mate. "Come in," I say because what else can I do? The strange expression on her face isn't what I'm expecting, and for a moment I wonder if I should have read more into her friendship with Ashrac.She sits on the end of the bed and continues staring at me."Is there something you need?" I ask.She gives a small smile that in no way reaches her eyes. "Ashrac sent me to g

    I've chosen my mate and so has my eagle. I can no longer fight that he's the one. Seeing Ashrac with the kids melted my heart and changed something deep inside me. Ashrac caring about the humans and trying to make their lives better blew my world apart.He's about to do it again.His body against mine is firm, powerful, and incredibly sexy. His muscles ripple beneath my touch. I'm barely able to think and what I'm thinking is that I should tell him I've never done this before. Then, he releases my mouth and his lips travel down my body, kissing every inch of flesh along the way. I stop thinking at all and just feel. His tongue circles my bellybutton before dipping inside. I actually giggle over the sensation. My fingers go to his glorious hair and I pull slightly to make him stop. His head comes up and he's grinning. There are also flames dancing in his eyes and all I can think of is sensual fire.He lowers his mouth back to my flesh and continues on his merry way. Flames lick at my

    A light bulb went off in my brain at the table. It was the strangest feeling. The bulb then exploded into a million shards and sent an electrical current throughout my body. The feeling's been described to me many times, but I had no idea how instantly my world would change.Flora is my mate.My mind knows and my body knows. It no longer matters what her clothes hide. It no longer matters that she turned me green or that she hasn't told me about being an eagle shifter.She's mine.I have no idea how or why it happened, but it did and nothing will stand between me and this woman. No mountains or dragons or Goddesses.Flora follows us as we walk to the lab. The kids don't bother shifting to fly because she's here and they have no idea she has her own wings. I'm actually proud that they're considering her feelings. We enter the lab and I walk over to my latest experiment. The electrical circuit is within a plastic shield made up of melted cell phone glass. I have cell phone batteries

    Botan gives me sad eyes and says, "Something smells really good and I'm a very hungry growing dragon."Cute is not a good enough word. I like this little guy."No," Ashrac says with a frustrated look. "Your mother will expect you home."Inside my head I'm calculating how much more food I need to make. "Okay," I say aloud, "I'm not cooking this alone so if you help, you can eat with us."Cheers go up at the same time Ashrac raises his hands in defeat. "It's on you," he says to me. "They'll eat me out of house and home and leave a huge mess behind."Kettle, black? "Why don't you run off to your little lab? We'll handle dinner.""Fine." He spins and marches off grumbling."Botan and Rotan, you're in charge of setting the table. Drayce, Ejder, I need you peeling potatoes. Zara and Zora you're backup and will be doing what's required to get this meal on the table. Right now I need more meat and potatoes brought up from the cellar."The kids hop to it and we have a meal for six growi

    I slog into a dense part of forest and remove my sopping clothes. I tie them into a small wet package that I can carry in my beak. My shifting powers are different than conventional shifters because I need words to start the process. I whisper the sacred words in my head that my mother taught me and her mother taught her. The world goes from blurry to crystal clear. In human form, without my glasses, I can see for miles if the view is unobstructed. Close up is another matter; all eagle shifters are far sighted when in human form. Shifting to eagle brings everything into focus."Stupid dragon," I mumble in my head as I scoop up the bundle and fly out of the tree line. I can't help turning and flying over the lake. There he is deep in the water bathing, thank the goddess. At least when he flies me back to my realm he won't smell like a dirty old shoe.I don't think about what I'm doing, it just kind of happens. He plunges his soapy head into the water and I swoop back around. My gooey
