Joslyn

Survive. The need raced through my veins. A tiny throb came to life low down in the cradle of my belly, filling me with purpose and with fear.

The tremor mingled with another, one high up in the center of my chest—one that made my words sound weak. “I just want you to hold me.”

The mountain never moved, never tightened his arms, never lowered his head, never moved as I pressed my ear against his chest.

I wound my arms around his waist as his voice came to life inside my head.

I want you to do something for me, can you do that?

Turn around Joslyn, you don't want to see this.

My arms tightened. Heavy breaths stole the moisture in my throat. The bristles of his pelt scratched my lips. I dragged my face across the fur and dipped to the opening and bare skin.

“Joslyn,” he whispered, his voice thick with need.

“I’m not leaving, Zadoc.”

I reached for the buttons on his pelt. A low growl filled the air, slowing my hand. “Just hold me.”

His fingers brushed my arm, my ribs, and settled around my waist, drawing me into a cocoon of muscle as I worked the next button and moved onto the next.

His sudden breath was a gust of wind, scattering my hair as he murmured. “You don’t understand.”

The button opened under my fingers. I skimmed hard muscle and reached for the next. The edges of the hide opened. My fingers trembled as his growl deepened. “I understand better than you know.”

He moved fast, fisting my hair and wrenching my head back. His eyes blazed, tinged with red—panic stricken, desire driven. “Is this what you want?”

The bullet holes peeked out from under the coat as he moved. I reached for his chest, tracing the raised red lump. “Yes.”

Sparks collided in the maelstrom in his eyes.

My heart stilled. A whimper slipped free—waiting for his next move.

With a growl, he jerked my head to the side, exposing my throat. His lips curled, revealing teeth, and lowered to my neck.

Fear pounded like a drug through my veins. Goosebumps raced, sending a ripple of heat between my legs. I closed my eyes with the brush of his lips. Something sharp against my skin. Pain flared as he bit, and then let go, hard enough to make me understand I was playing with danger, flirting with death.

Zadoc was no wolf—he was Dragon.

Heat flooded me, burning away the fear and hurt. I was alive because of him, safe in this moment because of him. My existence relied solely on…him.

He pulled back. His brow furrowed, gaze searching, as he tried to find answers in my eyes. But he’d find none…he was searching in the wrong place.

My fingers trembled, scraping his shoulder, then his neck. Tight muscles corded under my hands as I pulled him down, finding the right place for his lips to be.

His growl deepened—not a warning—something else…hope, need?

The vibration rubbed his lips against mine. I parted, waiting. His air became mine. I tasted him, inhaled him and wanted more.
