Chapter Sixteen

The view from where Kayden had taken her was breathtaking. He had brought a quilt and covered her with it, even though the heat generated by being inside his arms was enough to keep her warm. Complete happiness was something she hadn’t experienced since she was younger and her parents were still alive. Around Kayden, that joy returned to her, and she felt as if she was in tune with the universe.

“What’s it like to live in Alaska?” Barbara broke the silence and gazed at Kayden’s handsome face.

His sultry voice caressed her skin. “It’s amazing. In the winter, I can fly in the skies, and the Northern Lights camouflage my existence from everybody who might be looking at them. Our scales reflect the light and in turn make us invisible. Alaska is freedom. In the summer, there are big lakes where we can dive and explore. The landscapes, the rivers, the mountains are breathtakingly beautiful. But, it’s also lonely.”

“And cold.” Barbara hid her face against the curve of his neck.

“Extremely cold for any other species. Dragons, especially Fire Dragons, have a higher tolerance to low temperatures.”

“Breathing fire might help, too.”

Kayden lowered his face and brushed his lips against hers. He drew her closer to his chest, protecting her from the chilly breeze. “Do you want to go back home?”

“It was a long walk, and I want to stay here with you for now. The view is amazing. I can understand why you fell in love with this place.”

“Moving here was a necessity. Eventually, it became my home.”

Barbara rubbed her cheek against his shoulder. Deep inside, she knew she couldn’t ask him to move to New York with her. It would be selfish. Yet she had her career there, dreams to continue her education, and grow in her field of study. “Can dragons truly become invisible in the skies while flying?”

“Yes.”

“What about diving? Is Nessie from Loch Ness real?”

“Most likely. It must be a Water Dragon. We can hold our breath, but Water Dragons can breathe underwater.”

“It must be really cool. I wish I could fly. I’ve skydived a few times.”

“You’ll fly with me. I can take you up into the sky.”

Barbara grinned and grasped the back of his head with her hands, combing the softness of his hair with her fingers. “I would love that.”

Getting up, Kayden held Barbara’s hand. “Come. I need more space to shift, and you’ll have to put my clothes inside the backpack.”

Barbara nodded and followed him to the vegetation.

He stopped and grabbed her hands. “I’m going to be big and scary. You don’t need to be afraid. I would never harm you.”

“Okay.”

Kayden stepped back and motioned to her with his finger. “Turn around. I’m going to get naked now.”

Barbara bit her lower lip as lust consumed her. She did what she was told and focused her hearing on his movements as her body tensed with desire.

A guttural and raspy voice was heard. “You can turn around now.”

Holding her breath, Barbara spun around, and her eyes widened in disbelief as a seven-foot-tall dragon with red and orange scales stood before her.
