“You asked me earlier where I’m staying.” He pulled me by the hand until I was standing flush against him.
“I did,” I said. I knew what he was getting at and I knew that I was going to say yes. It didn’t matter that I’d never had a one-night stand. Something about this man was addictive. I needed more of his touch.

The Dragon's Treasured Mate

Apparently, God wasn’t willing and the creek was flooded because Raine had made absolutely no progress on the mine story in the past week. I hadn’t dared to reach out to Tahir in all that time either, which was probably why I was in such an absolutely miserable state. 


I couldn’t sleep through the night. I woke up feeling overheated with the ghost of a touch lingering on my skin. I tried melatonin, a white noise machine, and copious amounts of wine, but nothing helped me sleep. I felt like I was going through some kind of withdrawal. It was ridiculous. 


I was nursing my third coffee of the morning as I gazed boredly out the window of Ruben’s car. We were on our way to the local catholic church for an interview. Raine wanted us to do a story on a visiting clergyman from somewhere in Europe. They hadn’t been able to give us many details, but had implied that they thought the guy was a nut.
