Chapter 14

The next day…

“And?” Drago sniffed the air as soon as he opened the door. “Somebody got some.” He grinned as he stepped to the side to let her in. “You smell weird again, like you were smoking or something.” He sniffed again. “Cigars rather than cigarettes.” He wrinkled his nose and then widened his eyes. “You weren’t smoking, were you? You did actually get laid again?” Then he grinned because he knew the answer to his own question.

Ceri didn’t want to talk about it but Drago would be like a dog after a bone if she didn’t give him something. “Yes, we rutted again. I definitely wasn’t smoking anything. He leaves in a couple of hours, so that’s the end of that.” Hopefully Drago would drop the whole thing.

She should have known better than to think he would. He scrutinized her. “You aren’t glowing, or on a high, or happy or anything. You seem…down.” He cocked his head slightly, really giving her the once-over. “Why are you down? What happened?”

“Not at all.” She waved her hand and walked further into his apartment. “Oh good, you have coffee brewing.”

“Don’t try to change the subject.” She turned to Drago, who folded his arms. “Why aren’t you on a sex high? Was the rutting not up to scratch?” He made a face. “Was the dragon crap? I thought he was good? Why else would you go back for seconds?”

“The sex was good. More than good actually.”

“Why are you so down then?”

She helped herself to a coffee cup and sighed softly. “I don’t want to talk about it.” Ceri knew it was the worst thing she could say because Drago wouldn’t let it go now.

“You’ll feel better if you talk about it. I guarantee it. Are you sad he’s leaving?” His eyes lit up. “Are you in love with this male?”

“No!” she replied. “Not at all. Don’t be crazy.” Ceri poured herself some of the steaming brew. “Why does that make you happy, at any rate? It would be terrible if I had fallen in love with a dragon.”

He shrugged. “It would be interesting.”

“Me, being in love with someone I could never have, is not interesting, that would be awful.”

“I suppose. You say it isn’t that, what is it then? I’ll have a cup too.” He pointed at her coffee and leaned against the counter, his eyes on her.

“He was using me,” she blurted.

Drago burst out laughing. "Of course he was, just like you were using him. Wait a minute! Why would you care about a thing like that? You must have feelings for this dragon. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so upset about this."

“I don’t have feelings for him, it’s just…” She pushed out a heavy breath. Drago already knew so much, what did it matter if she told him all of it. She reached into the cupboard and pulled out another cup.

“Just what?”

She huffed out a breath. “I didn’t meet Bay yesterday.”

Drago’s frown deepened. “What are you talking about?”

“You know when I went to Beachhaven on vacation?”

“Yes.
