“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

There was an intense pain in my head that throbbed with each beat of my heart. It made me wish that I was still unconscious. My body ached too. My joints felt stiff and ached as though I’d been sleeping in a very awkward position. 


As the memory of the confrontation with Popescu returned to me, a numbing dread settled into me. I wasn’t able to fight them off. Manny had put something over my mouth, then… darkness. 


I opened my eyes, but I couldn't see anything. Wherever I was, there was no light source at all. I was in a blinding, pitch blackness. Or I’d gone blind, but I really didn’t want to consider that possibility. It was cold and the air felt damp and smelled musty. 


My chest burned every time I took a breath. It was probably the after effect of whatever sweet, pungent chemical Manny had used to render me unconscious. I must be in a basement or something.
