RoxanneHe asked for my name. My brave, brave dragon. He took me to steal my first treasure and had no qualms about me fighting bad men with swords. In his eyes, I'm as capable as a man. I love him more than I can ever put into words. It's hard to remain unselfish and not want his love in return.We have many good years ahead of us. Great years. I just can't help worrying about what will happen when I die. My heart breaks over the thought of any pain he will suffer. To wait thousands of years for a mate to transcend is cruel. The time he has already waited crueler still.I gather my hair back and prepare for a visit from Acasia and Ashrac. My stolen piece of jewelry proudly adorns my throat on a piece of leather that matches my outfit. My dragon likes the stone and I enjoy seeing pride in his eyes when I wear it.Sir Orifice only had one goal and that was to remove my dress and fuck me. Hitting him over the head with a large vase from the nightstand beside the bed was easy. Repeatedly

RoxanneFriends.I want to kill him as badly as I wanted to that first day. It's the day after we became such great friends and I'm running the tower stairs to get such thoughts from my mind. A friend is a good thing. It is! I've run six-hundred and twenty-seven stairs and I've yet to convince myself.He told me before that he wished us to be friends. I didn't know how badly the word would hurt.Damn dragon."Bride of Uncle Laryn, what are you doing?"I'm so startled I miss a step and bang my shin. "Damn, ouch, darn..." I cut off the rest of my tirade because it's more frustration with Ashrac's uncle than actual pain. "What are you doing here, Ashrac?" I try to temper my question. From the look in his eyes I failed."I wished to visit you." His lips tremble and I instantly regret my less-than-pleasant tone. I sit on the stair that jumped up and bit me and rub my shin. "Please shift to your human form and sit down to tell me what you're up to today."He doesn't shift or sit, which surp

RoxanneI spend the first night since the claiming without my dragon. It's awful. The sheets smell of him. I curl around his pillow and toss and turn the entire night. I miss my dragon. Peter brings me food. I practice a bit, though I don't have my heart in it. I have no idea what I would do if my dragon didn't return. My breath catches in my throat. I can't begin to comprehend the pain my dragon goes through when his brides die. I am completely unable to take my mind so deep into that darkness.My dragon can't love me for a reason.My pulse quickens when a dragon's shadow covers me while I'm in the tower stretching before I run the stairs. It's afternoon and I ate only a light lunch so I could get my exercise in and hopefully sleep better tonight. I'm hoping it's Laryn while fearing it's Sarn.Neither.The dragon is red and I realize it's Acasia as she flies down to the bottom perch.As soon as she shifts, I know by the wild look in her eyes that this isn't a pleasure visit. "Have yo

Roxanne I am sitting on Laryn's knee wearing an indecently tight gown with practically nothing holding my breasts in. My dragon lifts my hand and brings me to my feet. "Roxy, baby, go and find another lovely to share our bed tonight." He slaps my ass and I jump away from the gaming table with a very feminine squeal. Laryn said he would give me an excuse to leave the room and steal my treasure. Two women, though. He knows I'd cleave his cock right off. I giggle and the men give me wicked leers as I leave the room. Dancing and revelry fill the entire downstairs of the huge mansion. Laryn has taught me well and I start my search in the owner's bedroom. When I don't find what I need, I search for the office. A massive safe takes up one entire corner. "Gotcha," I whisper with glee. My hearing is such that I have the old safe open in less than three minutes. There are trays of jewels, stacked gold bars, and even some jewelry. I scan the items until my eyes fall on a large blue amethyst th

SarnWhen Bastian came to the nightclub, he demanded I return to the dragon realm. I told him to go to hell. Not that I wanted him to join me because really I just wanted to be alone in hell and drink myself to death. Damn Bastian and damn this pint-sized female for not leaving me to my nightmare of constant self-loathing."Are you done glaring at me or should I just sit here and give you a little more time?" Sierra asks, cutting off my pity party.I try again and add biting venom to my voice, "Why are you here?"She watches me with such intense appraisal I'm actually surprised when she answers. Her head cocks just a bit to the side, a spring of hair falls over her cheek, and again I see no features that resemble the bear clan females, though I sense her shifter blood. "I've decided to nurse you until you're able to help yourself. I needed a break from working the club and this position is open. You've chased away everyone else." She puts her hands up and tips her palms toward me a li
