Chapter 4

They navigated their way around the minefield of broken crystal, leaving their clothing behind. His taloned hand gripped hers and led her toward a wide staircase off the other side of the foyer. When he turned, she caught a glimpse of the damage she’d caused to his back. Both his shoulders and ass were criss-crossed with bloody stripes.

“Jesus, Rafe! Why didn’t you stop me?”

“Because you were enjoying it so much and I was at the point of no return, myself. It’s nothing to worry about. I’d normally let it heal on its own, but there’s one thing you can do.”

Rowan see-sawed between mortification and confusion, but those feelings seemed inconsequential compared to the buzzing well of energy she seemed to have inside her. The urge to feel him in her again was overwhelming. And not just fucking her, either. She’d always taken more satisfaction from making men come, often not even caring whether she found her own release. Rafe, however, had given her more with that single orgasm of his than she’d enjoyed from all of the other men she’d been with. Humans? I’m not like them, am I?

“No, my love, you are not. We are a different race entirely.” He hadn’t spoken out loud, she was sure of it, yet it was unmistakably his voice she had just heard.

“You can hear my thoughts?”

“If you project with enough intent, yes. And you very much wanted an answer to that question. You can ask out loud, though. Anything you want to know, I will tell you. My staff are off for the weekend.”

“You have a staff…of course.”

“Someone has to polish the dragon.”

She smiled in return to the smirk he cast over his shoulder.

“Alright, first question: How do I get my hands back? And I sure as hell can’t go out in public with a pair of horns.”

“It just takes a little concentration and some dragon magic. You’ll be able to change your hair and eye color as it pleases you, too. You may need to build up more energy first, however.”

“And how do I get the energy?”

“Darling, I believe you know the answer to that already.”

He urged her through the door to a huge bedroom, closed it behind her, and stood facing her. He waggled his fingers in front of her face. “First, picture what you’d like them to look like.”

“Just my hands, please.” She made a cattish clawing motion at his face with her new talons that earned her a smile. Not only was he rakishly handsome when full of lust, but almost boyishly cute when he was amused. Her heartbeat fluttered at the contradiction.

“Right, now feel that warm burn of power I gave you, deep down inside.”

“Hmm, how deep?” She quirked one eyebrow.

He stepped toward her and slid his now very human fingertips down her belly. “It may be here, or a bit lower. Shall I give you an anatomy lesson or do you want your hands back?”

She did feel the warm glow in her center, not unlike the sensation of a lingering orgasm, only much more subtle.
