“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.
“Would you like me to show you?”

The Dragon's Treasured Mate

The thought of Tahir leaving shouldn’t be a shock. He was clear from the moment we met that he was here to do a job and he would be leaving when it was done. Even if he hadn’t told me, it would be foolish to think a man like him would settle in a place like Bell City. 


I wasn’t a fool, yet here I was, shocked to my core at the thought of never seeing him again. Of course, I hadn’t expected to become so attached to him. 


Attached wasn’t the right word to describe the way I felt. The way his eyes burned through me and his touch made me weak was not the result of an attachment. 


Damn it, I was in love with him. I don’t know why that was so hard for me to admit to myself. I accepted that he was a dragon. I mean, I’d blacked out, but when I came to, I’d accepted it pretty quickly. I accepted that magic was real quite easily. If I could make sense of those things, why couldn’t I accept that I love him?
