“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

Dex was hesitant to leave the house and I couldn’t blame him. There was a lot for him to process and he was understandably concerned. We sat on the back porch for an hour before Dex spoke again. 


“You really do love him,” he said quietly.

“What do you mean?” I asked in confusion. 


Dex stood and looked at the door. “If you love him, then I’ll get used to him.” I jumped up and hugged him. Dex hugged me back and sighed dramatically. “I’ll just have to deal with the constant worry and sleepless nights.” 


I laughed and smacked his arm. “You’re such a jerk.”
