NADIYAH

I never felt so lonely surrounded by so many people.

The walls and ceiling of the inn creaked all around me, sometimes accompanied by a muffled sigh or moan. I couldn’t look at Caden all evening without picturing him naked and aroused, surrounded by those three inn girls. Did he invite them back to his room after I left? I didn’t want to to think about that.

And yet I stared at the exposed beams in the ceiling of my room, listening to the creaks and sighs of the building while thinking of nothing else.

Many more women showered him with praise and attention at the dinner feast. Jealousy burned through me every time one would sit in his lap or brush her mouth against his ear. They clung to him like hatchling dragons on trees, begging for more stories of his bravery.

Hardly anyone spared me a glance, not that I wanted any.

Sitting there, picking at my food, I was painfully reminded of how different he and I were. This was familiar to him. He felt right at home among these people. I could see it in how he smiled at the women and laughed with the men. Whenever he tried to catch my eye, I focused entirely on my food and drink. I didn’t want to ruin his fun. This was his place and not mine.

I missed Dusa’s big, scaly presence fiercely. She was my only connection to home in this foreign place. I could still feel her emotional state even with a greater distance between us. Right then she was happily feasting on something herself.

For the hundredth time, I flipped over on the lumpy, unfamiliar mattress. A dull ache pulsed in my core stronger than ever. It came the moment Caden stood up in that tub. The need to feel that long, thick shaft inside me possessed my body like a vengeful spirit had taken hold. The rivulets of water dripping down the hard edges of his body did nothing to help.

And this greedy ache for him only made the loneliness worse.

I had half a mind to sneak out of the inn, find Dusa and fly back home. Sleeping a few feet away from where Caden was likely enjoying three women was nearly unbearable. I never imagined that this would happen, nor that it would hurt so much.

My feet touched the floor and I began pulling clothes on before I could think anymore. Maybe I wouldn’t run away yet but I sure wasn’t sleeping. A walk might help to clear my head.

I just slid one boot on and was about to pull on the other when a hesitant knock came to my door.

“Nadi?”

I froze. Even my heart stopped. What was he doing here?

“Nadi, are you awake?”

I rose from bed and went to the door, feeling more unsure of myself now than at any point in my rigorous Rider training. With a slow turn of the knob, I pulled it open just a few inches.

Caden’s sky-blue eye peered at me through the crack.
