Chapter 13

The silence that filled the cavern without Rowen’s sweet voice was maddening. She had been gone for far too long. Where did the Red Dragon take her? When they left, Rickard had just been in between dosing and mulling over his next steps. He had to get her away from this cavern, and back to Withrae.

They were on a strict timetable, and had a royal coup to execute.

He paced the cavern and planned his next move. As hours rolled by with worry over Rowen’s whereabouts, he knew what he had to do if she did indeed return.

He needed to tell her why she lost her memory.

After his second nap of the day, he propped himself up on his elbows when the Red Dragon swept into the cavern with Rowen on his back. She carefully lowered herself to the floor with a large clay jug and a woolen sack in her arms. She immediately looked right at him.

“Rick,” she said with an excitement in her voice that he wasn’t used to being directed his way. “You’re awake.”

She crossed the room, a pleasant smile on her face. “How are you feeling?”

Had she forgotten how rude he was to her?

Rickard shrugged. “As well as I, considering.”

She sat on the floor beside him. “Well, I suppose that’s good.”

He noticed that she was soaking wet, and her dress clung to every curve of her body. He tried to avoid staring, but the way it clung to her breasts was distracting.

He cleared his throat and raised his eyes to hers.

“Here,” she said, softly. “Have a drink.”

Rickard pushed himself up and drank from the jug. The water was pleasantly cool and sweet. “Where did you get this from?” He asked, drinking more.

She folded her legs before her and nodded toward the exit. “There’s an amazing oasis in the middle of the Wastelands. You have to see it.”

He cracked a grin. “Maybe you’ll have to take me there sometime.”

Her smile faded, slightly. “I’d like to, but unless you’re going to carry me, I can’t shift on command.”

“About that,” he said, rubbing his hands together. “I know why you are having trouble with your memory.”

“Oh,” she said, her eyes widening.

“You see, no one guided you through your first shift from human to Dragon. I don’t think anyone expected you to be able to. You were never guided through the sacred ritual.”

She shrugged. “I suppose. I can’t remember too much from my past. There are just disorganized flashes that don’t make much sense. So, this could be true.”

“I will guide you,” he said. “I will train you how to shift like a proper shifter.”

The smile that came to her face melted his heart. If he could reach out and pull her into his embrace, he would. With the Red Dragon watching them, he decided against it.

He gasped when she threw her arms around his neck and embraced him on her own accord.

“Thank you, Rick. I can’t think of anything more pleasing,” she whispered into his ear.

I can.

He swallowed, trying his hardest not to dwell on how her full bosom was pressed to his chest.
