Chapter Eleven
Blake found her in the solar standing in front of the large bay window overlooking the ocean from the eastern side of the island. She wore a simple green dress, short in the front and long in the back. A pair of white crochet sandals covered her toes. He recognized them from the kind they made down in the village on the coastal side of the island.
She’d turned her face from the setting sun and smiled at him. All day long, his mind distracted him with visions of her sultry eyes, coy smile, and shapely body.
He’d beaten her at her own game of seduction. Damned if he would let her leave him again.
Not now.
Not when she’d cited the promise in their union, given him a piece of her, shared with him Melsunia’s gift. He moved beside her, slipping his arm around her.
“I see you found me.”
“I will always find you.” He caught a strand of her hair, twisting if around his fingers.
“It’s not like I can go far.”
At least they were making progress. Slow. “If you are talking about Sigurd standing outside the door, he worries about you. He missed you, too, when you disappeared.”
“I suppose I should thank you for the new clothes. Sigurd insisted I splurge a bit. Especially now that I am the lady of the manor and all.”
“I’m sorry you didn’t make it to the village before. Naomi was a bit occupied with cleaning up after the dinner party, then or ceremony, and none of us could have expected Olaus to behave as he did.”
She leaned back against him. “I’m sorry someone got hurt. There is a reason why we are band from bonding with dragons.”
“It was selfish. It is selfish to punish others for the actions of one. When a dragon finds their life mate they are bond for life. It does not matter if their other half is human or dragon. Because of revenge, jealously, perhaps fear—dragons are forced to suffer by never becoming whole.”
He couldn’t explain it to her. Didn’t know how he could tell her what if felt like to have her near, to be one with her. It completed him. Satisfied an ache he’d had until the day he’d met her. Like a wound finally healed, that even his dragon mate couldn’t sooth during their half century together.
“My mother used to tell me the story of the dragon rider who fell in love with his dragon. He had a wife and she became jealous, so jealous she tried to kill the dragon. Only the dragon protected herself and the man’s wife died. Soon the dragon gave birth to the man’s child, one that could shift between his human form and dragon side. The dragon’s saw this as a curse and sought to retaliate against the other human riders.”
“Nothing more than an old tale, but to a child a good bed time story. There have been songs written. We dragons came here as a gift from the gods to mankind. A gift so sought out, we became hunted.
