chapter six

When Kia woke the next day, she was alone.

She was also naked.

That’s when it all came back. She cringed remembering how Gavin had turned her down and put her to bed like a good little girl. Humiliating didn’t even begin to describe how she’d felt to offer herself naked to someone for the first time only to be turned down.

Not that she could complain since it turned out he’d been right. If they’d made love she would have regretted it. Things had seemed so intense and immediate in the moment but in the bright light of day, she wasn’t sure how she’d feel about getting naked less than twenty-four hours after meeting him again. She suddenly appreciated his kindness in leaving the room before she woke up. It would have been awkward to wake next to him without clothes.

After dressing in the same clothes she’d worn the prior day, she walked down the hallway and emerged into the living room.

It was a beautiful day if the light streaming through the front windows was any indication and the sight gave Kia a boost of optimism. She was amongst her own kind for the first time and all the things she normally had to hide were on display with no issue. Her hair was still hanging free and Gavin had actually seemed to like the strange color last night. She didn’t feel like she couldn’t smile or laugh around him for fear of flashing her fangs.

It was the most free she’d ever felt in her life.

Gavin appeared in the doorway leading to the kitchen. “I hope you like eggs. That’s one of the only human foods I can make.”

“That’s fine. I’m not picky.”

He made scrambled eggs for her and what looked like a small mountain of sausage for him but turned out to be deer meat he’d hunted himself. She shuddered at the thought but couldn’t keep from being curious. When he said hunted, she doubted he meant that in the traditional sense. Her research had told her that most dragons captured small game and ate the meat raw.

Gavin looked over at her as if he sensed her questions. “What would you like to do today? You can ask me more about how we grew up if you want. Or maybe you have other questions about dragon life? I could even take you to Rivenell if you want.”

Kia clutched her fork. She had tons of questions and she definitely wanted see where she’d lived as a child but those weren’t her main concern right now. What she really wanted was to get to the most important thing.

“Can you teach me to shift?”

The edges of his lips turned up slightly. “I would love to do that, baby.”

Suddenly nervous, she pushed the last of her eggs around her plate. “I mean, I want to go to Rivenell, too. I just thought that maybe I should try this first. To see if I’m a real dragon, you know?”

He took her right hand in his gently, cradling it between both of his palms.
