Chapter Nine

Arian was content to just lay with Grace in his arms. Not only had her body felt good, but it felt right to have her next to him now.

He knew she wasn’t asleep. She tensed every time the distant sound of thunder reached her. He could end her discomfort with a mere thought, but halting the rain would allow her to leave.

And he wasn’t ready for that yet. It was selfish for him to keep making her deal with her fear, but he couldn’t let her go. Arian was happy. Actually happy. The last time had been before he sent his dragons away.

How could he even think of losing Grace now?

Arian looked down at the top of her blonde head. He wondered what she was thinking. There was no doubt she enjoyed their lovemaking. Her cries of ecstasy, and the fact she had two orgasms, told him he had pleasured her well.

That should make him feel good about the situation. Instead, he wondered if she wanted to leave. He also worried that she couldn’t handle his world.

Arian’s thoughts halted immediately.

Why would he care if she couldn’t deal with magic and immortality and shape shifting? Grace was beautiful, intelligent, and extremely gifted in her writing, but that didn’t make her more to him.

He tried to imagine walking her to her car and seeing her drive away. And it made him want to bellow in fury.

No. He didn’t want her to leave.

Ever.

Arian closed his eyes. How the hell had he gotten into this situation? He realized as soon as that thought entered his head that there was no answer. It could be a myriad of things that allowed Grace to sink deep in his soul.

Whatever the cause, she was there. And he was going to hold onto her. It didn’t matter what Con or any of the other Kings had to say about it.

“You’re quiet,” Grace said.

Arian found himself smiling. He noticed that he had been lightly rubbing her back the entire time. “So are you, lass.”

“I’m thinking.”

“About?” he urged.

She snuggled closer to him. “Don’t laugh.”

“I would never,” he responded solemnly because he had a feeling whatever she was about to say was about them.

Grace flattened her palm on his chest. “I’ve not been writing it correctly.”

“Writing what, exactly?”

“Passion. I forgot what it was,” she whispered. “I went off what I saw in movies or read, but I haven’t...experienced...it in many years.”

He didn’t like thinking about other men being with her, but they were in the past. Where they would remain. “Were they no’ good lovers?”

“They were all right, but without passion, it all feels...empty.”

Arian tightened his arm around her before he rolled her onto her back so he could look into her face. “I’ll be happy to show you several times a day.”

Her smile was infectious. “You’re up for that job?”

He looked between their bodies to his cock that was already hard again. “Oh, aye.”

Her smile softened as she put her hand on his cheek. “I just met you, and yet it feels as if I’ve known you forever.
