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
I stand away from the water in confusion as I watch him. If the water is so dangerous then why on earth would he place his feet in. I step closer to the edge just in case he needs me as he turns to face the swirling vortex. It almost looks as if the river is opening up to him because he called out. I gasp as the water above the whirlpool starts to transform into that of a horse. I can nearly see through it. It truly is a beautiful sight. If I hadn’t have watched it be made from the water then I would have assumed it was a real horse. The only difference is that it is blue. Right before my eyes the horse transforms into the shape of a woman. She is just as beautiful as the horse that stood before her. So there water horses I think.Suddenly Xander turns away as the water woman turns into an actual. His growl echoes in the space we stand in and the water bristles. As I wonder why he growled, I feel my entire face turn red as I remove my gaze to give her privacy. She appeared in her s
My feet echo as my steps run along the metal floor. My dragon moves uncomfortably inside my chest the deeper we get underground. Even after all these years we can’t get used to the feeling. We belong outside and in the skies after all. That is our nature. When I was young I used to cry each time I entered this place. That action has long since been beaten out of me.Now, I find the sound of the Tungsten metal to be a comfort. I have made this place my home. Others Now, I find the sound of the Tungsten metal to be a comfort. I have made this place my home. Others that are of a different species than human look down on me for what I do. I was raised to be this way. Raised to bring my own here. I have been doing it for so long now that I don’t know another way.Today is going to change things for me though. This will be the first time that I will see him since I brought him here. Before that it had been fourteen long years. The sound of my feet change as I head toward the cells where
I bang against the force field that appeared as my mate accepted her meet her greet. As soon as she formed the water shield Kelsie disappeared behind it. Panic fills my chest as I try to break through the barrier with all my might. Xander tried to stop her from accepting the invitation but now she is too late. My roar fills the air as I grow furious that she has taken my mate from me. What the hell is she doing to her?“We do not even remember the first time we met her. Maybe she isn’t causing her any harm” Xander says from the back of our mind even though I can feel his worry too.“You do not know what I know. To truly meet a kelpie one must be close to death or dying. Our mate is alive and healthy. Now she is in danger from this stupid creature. I swear if anything has happened to her I will not hesitate to show her my wrath” I warn him viciously.As the threat leaves my lips the barrier suddenly drops and I am sprinting our human form forward. What I see stops me in my tracks fo
As soon as I mention needing to eat Xander returns. He returns completely naked and my eyes almost bug out of my skull as all his delicious flesh is revealed to my gaze. I can’t even remove it from him or his golden tattoos. His body is truly a work of art as his muscles ripple. When my eyes land on his legs I have to blink as his size is once more revealed. It hangs heavy against his thigh and the hunger that fills me has me clenching my own together. It is suddenly hid from my view and my eyes fly to his as I fight a blush. He definitely caught me looking. The look in his eyes as he watches me causes moisture to spill between my thighs. His nostrils flare and he takes a step toward me automatically releasing his appendage. My eyes fly to it once more and I lick my lips subtly as he groans. “Fuck” he curses as he stops in his tracks. “The smell of you makes my tongue itch to taste you” he says with so much want in his voice. The thought of him taking me with his huge size is enough
Maximus leaves so quickly that nothing is left to be said. As I make my way down to the cells of the cabin where we keep our prisoners my anger spikes. After everything that we have been through today and shared, she just rejected my touch. She said nothing as I held her hand on our journey or guided her with a well place palm on her lower back. As soon as we got in front of someone though she didn’t want me touching her.Maximus already knows that we are mates. The actions that she showed just don’t make sense. The conversation that I had with Maximus before I gave him instructions keeps playing in my head as I decipher our words to see where I made a mistake. I slow my steps before I get to his cell. With a few deep breaths I clear my head so that I can deal with him. So, far he has found a way to get under the skin of everyone that has tortured him. I hate to even admit that he got undermine a time or two. The bastard just knows entirely too much. Even things that he shouldn’t kno
