Chapter Eleven

Harlow opened her eyes to find them staring straight at Myles’ sleeping face. One of his arms was loosely draped over her hips, and his chest rose and fell slowly with the rhythm of sleep. She blinked in surprise, but the disoriented feeling only lasted for a few moments. It all came back to her quickly—the power outage, her brief walk through the blizzard to Myles’ room, and then his insistence that he could keep her warm through the night thanks to his dragon.

His dragon, Harlow thought, a little thrill of excitement rushing through her body. She was sleeping next to a dragon. How many wizards could say they had done that? Not many, to be sure. She knew that a few of the other Redwood Dragons had paired up with wizards from Falcon Cross, but that still left very few wizards who could claim to have been this close to a dragon. The realization made Harlow feel special, and she couldn’t help but smile. Myles chose that exact moment to wake up, opening his eyes to find Harlow smiling at him. She blushed, but a smile instantly crossed his face as well.

“Good morning, sunshine,” he said, his voice rough and gravelly from several hours of non-use. “Sleep okay? Warm enough?”

Harlow nodded. “You’re pretty great at keeping a bed warm,” she said, trying to keep her voice light and teasing. His smile deepened, and, to her surprise, he snuggled closer to her and squeezed his arms tighter around her.

She felt a thrill of pleasure rush through her. It was an excited, giddy feeling that was becoming more and more familiar the more time that she spent with him. Her heart rate increased as he nuzzled his nose against her ear. She couldn’t see his face anymore, but his body was pressed so tightly against hers that she was pretty sure his expression must be one of desire. She found herself holding her breath, wondering what he would do next. Until now, they had done a good job of keeping up the pretense that their reasons for being in the same bed were purely practical. But he was moving quickly beyond the boundaries of practical, and he was making no apologies for it. He draped one of his legs over her legs, and pushed his hips against her hips, and that’s when she felt it.

He was large, and hard as a rock. He pressed his stiffness against her, causing her heart to beat impossibly faster than it already was. She trembled in his arms, trying her best to calm her nerves but hopelessly failing at the task. How could she be calm in a moment like this, when the most handsome man she had ever seen, the dragon whose bed she had shared last night, was making it clear exactly what effect she had on him?

They lay like this for several minutes. Harlow was completely still except for her breathing, which came in faster and faster breaths as her mind began to truly comprehend the fact that Myles desired her.
