Chapter 4

Phoenix

Holding onto her cheek felt a lot like hanging onto a grenade with the pin taken out. Madison was a monster of the highest caliber, and yet he felt her tremors roll through his palm.

And then the lambent glow of her shift rained over her massive body, twisting her from Breed to a woman he’d always seen but had never really “seen” before.

She was the same in many ways. Long dark hair. Gorgeous molten-colored eyes. Pale, ivory skin. Heart shaped face, with an adorable button nose, and rosebud lips slightly fuller at the top than the bottom. His heart clenched, because though he could have drawn her from memory he was sure he’d never actually paid attention to her the way he was now.

How her skin glimmered like shades of mother of pearl in sunlight. How her hair wasn’t just dark brown, but had rich veins of amber and inky strands of jet-black sprinkled throughout.

How when she looked at him, her gaze never wavered or shifted. She saw him. Every inch of him. She wasn’t peering just at his face, or his chest, hands, body...no, she was slipping beneath the mask to the man inside of him.

He was exposed beneath her gaze, cracked open. How had he never noticed that before? Or the fact that lingering in the air between them was her intoxicating scent of lightning and lush spring flowers.

A gust of wind blew through the cave entrance, fanning the tips of her hair in her face and he gently slid them aside, marveling at the velvety soft texture of her flesh.

“I’ve seen you my whole life, Madison Draconian, but I’ve always missed you, haven’t I?”

A flash of the reptile flared through her gold eyes as her irises slit to fine lines and she sucked in a gasp.

“Wh—what?” She shook, one of her tiny hands clutched onto his wrist, long red painted nails digging into the skin and pushing down on the vein, igniting a sharp flare of pain as she almost—but not quite—punctured him.

But he liked her fire. And if Phoenix was being honest with himself, he’d always liked her potential for anarchy and chaos. After all, it was that same recklessness that’d driven him to that cliff all those years ago.

She blinked and shook her head. “What are you saying, Phoenix?”

The way she said his name, how she caressed the vowels, made his heart stutter a beat in his chest.

Another burst of wind barreled through the entrance, and he shivered. He might be a grizzly, but in human form this cold was biting and starting to make him tingle.

Noticing immediately, Madison pulled away from him and knelt on the nest they stood on. He frowned, watching her shove aside the edge of the foliage. But when she reached inside and a second later pulled out a very thick, semi-precious stone in its raw and unpolished form he knew right away what she was doing.

The stone she held was one he’d seen Urich playing with every winter in his brother’s bar.
