The next morning, no one seemed to know what to say. As they all sat sipping coffee and eating the scrambled eggs and bacon Draven had cooked, there was an uncomfortable silence and tension in the air.

The night before had been so unexpectedly amazing, so connected. Without even a word spoken between them, they had known each other’s bodies and how to love each other, and if that wasn’t magic, what was?

“So what are we doing today?” Melissa asked, finishing her last bite of eggs and taking the other plates to the sink to do dishes. Before she could, Ran was there, taking them from her hands as he turned on the water to rinse them and put them in the dishwasher.

The dragons seemed unwilling to let her do anything for them. That would have to change if she planned to stay.

Ran grinned. “Forgive us for being a little too grateful,” he said, gesturing for her to sit back down and join Draven. “I’m sure we’ll calm down after a while.”

“Right,” Draven said, rolling his eyes. “Because that’s what dragons are known for. Calm.”

Melissa sat forward, eyes glowing. “I want to know more about dragons. I want to see your dragon forms. When do I get to do that?”

Ran and Draven shared looks.

“I’m not sure that’s a good idea,” Draven said, running a hand through his dark hair, setting it on end. His blue eyes were cool and calm, and she loved the contrast between them and the black lashes and brows and hair he had. Everything about him was harsh but somewhat beautiful.

If he were the black dragon, she was sure he looked incredible.

Ran went quiet, as if sensing her thoughts, and paced over to a chair far away from them in the living room, resting his head on his palm and looking lost in thought.

Draven gave her a quiet smile. “That was a good move, including him last night. He always stays too distant.”

“I can hear you!” Ran said, but he let out a sigh and continued facing away.

Melissa could sense something was wrong but couldn’t put a finger on what.

Ran was getting edgier as the morning progressed, and she didn’t know what was causing it.

Draven shook his head. “We’ll still have to be careful. You see, the relationship between our human forms and our dragon forms is a complicated one,” he said.

Ran waved a hand. “Do we really have to go into this now?”

Draven stood, keeping a hand on the table. “When are we going to tell her, Ransom? When is fair?”

Ransom. Was that his full name? She looked at the beautiful man sitting in the corner, lost in his own personal storm, and thought it was the perfect name.

He was holding something ransom. Maybe even holding her ransom. And neither she nor Draven could release whatever it was until he was ready.

And she sighed because Draven had finally been willing to tell her about dragons.

“Don’t look like that,” Draven said, sitting down again and putting a hand over hers.
