Chapter 10

Stephan tried to burden himself with the work to keep Mickey from his thoughts. But he failed because the dragon in him never grew tired. He shifted so many times that week with the hope maybe he could take her off his mind, but he failed. Every time he shifted, the desire in him grew more.

Liam was right. He could mourn and be alone for the rest of his life, or he could seize an opportunity that presented itself and take his life to the next level. Stephan wasn’t the sort to sit around and daydream about something he wanted. If he wanted it, he went after it. His past had taught him that life could end without warning, and he didn’t have all the time in the world.

Grabbing his phone, he skipped past messaging and dialed, international call rates be damned. He had more than enough money. What he wanted was the girl across the water.

“Stephan?” She answered with his name on her lips on the third ring, and it brought a smile to his face.

Then he realized he’d forgotten to check the time difference and winced. Hopefully, he hadn’t woken her up in the middle of the night. He looked at the clock on his phone quickly and did the math. Thankfully, she should just be getting off work. “I wanted to hear your voice,” he said in return, forgoing the traditional greeting.

He could almost hear her blush through the phone, from thousands of miles away. “That’s sweet. Listen, I’m about to get in the car and drive home.”

“This won’t take long,” he assured her. “I just wanted to call and tell you that you’ve been on my mind since you left. That you’re always on my mind, and I don’t know how long I can stay away from you.”

She hesitated, and Stephan held his breath. Had he said the wrong thing? He couldn’t tell, not without her here, where he could hear her heartbeat. And he had so little experience with emotions and women. “Well, why don’t we plan to see each other?”

“I want more,” he blurted out, hearing the responsive sharp intake of breath. But he had to push forward, or he wouldn’t get the words out. He didn’t want the guilt to flood back in and keep him silent. “I want to be with you. I want to feel your body up against mine. I want to taste you, to touch you. I want to hold you while you sleep, to wake you up with a kiss that turns into something passionate in the morning.”

Dead air. Stephan held his breath, trying to listen for any reaction, but it was as if Mickey had completely disappeared. Then came the soft whisper, “I can only imagine what that would be like.”

“It doesn’t have to be imaginary, Mickey. I haven’t wanted this with anyone, ever.” He winced. He had once, but trying to explain a dragon mate would probably go over as well as explaining the truth of his family’s death as opposed to calling it an accident.
