Chapter 13
When Kytrima stopped eating and stared off into space, Nate wondered if it was something he said. He’d been so caught up in worrying about his brother and the princess, that he’d almost passed right over what had happened before.
He hadn’t meant to imply that he wanted to mate with her. He didn’t.
Or at least, he didn’t think he did.
He shouldn’t.
So why was he hoping that she did?
The truth was, he was more than a little confused. Everything had happened so fast that his head was still spinning.
He couldn’t possibly be in love with a woman he’d only met twenty-four hours ago, could he? Love didn’t work like that. Or at least, not any kind of love he’d experienced before.
Then again, he’d never felt like this about anyone before in his life.
Kytrima had told him it was because she was a dragon and he was a human. Their strange magic seemed so tied to love and sex, especially with the way they needed it to regenerate, or whatever it was they did.
It would be completely believable that her being a dragon was the reason he felt this way. Even if it wasn’t a result of her magic somehow, her strange, exotic nature was exciting in and of itself.
There were plenty of reasons to think this wasn’t a real feeling.
Somehow, he wasn’t convinced.
She hadn’t sounded too convinced either. Maybe this was as confusing to her as it was to him. That thought made him feel a little better, not so out of his depth.
It helped enough for him to reach over and put his hand over hers. “Are you okay?”
He wasn’t quite game to ask whether she was thinking about mating with him or thinking about finding the princess. He wasn’t sure that he’d want to hear. Her thinking about mating with him would freak him out, even though he was already thinking about it himself.
She looked up, and her eyes met his, and Nate’s breath caught in his throat.
He had a sudden impulse to kiss her.
As soon as he thought of it, the idea consumed him.
He tried to hold himself back. Even if the feeling was overwhelming him, he wasn’t sure she felt the same. She seemed to have a single minded focus on finding the princess. Not on him at all.
And yet, she was staring back at him as transfixed as he was. Her eyes were wide, and her lips parted slightly.
Maybe to her being with a human was exciting? It seemed crazy, but how else could he explain the fact that she was swaying slightly towards him, her lips coming tantalisingly close to his?
So close that Nate found it impossible to resist. He leaned in a little closer, his eyes going to hers, watching to see if she was about to pull back.
But she didn’t. In fact, she edged closer.
Nate took that as an invitation. An invitation he in no way wanted to refuse. He let his lips touch hers, the soft groan she gave only tempting him more.
