“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

I was hovering in the space between consciousness and dreaming for an interminable amount of time, so when I heard excited voices downstairs, I wasn’t sure if it was real or a dream. The sound was persistent and I decided that I needed to check. I had to know if Tahir was home safely. I dragged my sore body from his bed and slowly made my way down the stairs. I could hear multiple voices from the kitchen, but Tahir’s cut clearly through all the rest. 


If I was capable of running at the moment, I would have. I took a hot shower before lying down, and it had helped ease the ache in my muscles, but not much. I rushed towards the kitchen as fast as I could and burst through the open doorway to find Tahir and Lila at the table, talking with the others. Tahir jumped from his seat and closed the distance between us in a second. He swept me up in his arms and held me close to his chest.
