Eli

Eli woke up early, just as the sun was coming up.

A grin stretched across his face. He was in Ava’s bed, and Ava herself was nestled in his arms, where she’d slept for the entire night. He pulled the blanket up over her shoulder where it had slipped down.

They were officially dating now. He couldn’t believe it.

He also couldn’t stop grinning.

Eli wanted to tell Ava the truth about his true nature, but it seemed far too soon. His clan didn’t have an anti-human rule, but it wasn’t smart to tell a human before they were seriously committed to each other—there was too much at stake. The secret wasn’t just about him, it involved his entire clan.

They only had one human member, and she didn’t even live in Oregon. And if he remembered correctly, she’d found out that her husband Garrett was a dragon shifter by accident during a fight.

He did not want that for Ava. He would tell her the truth. In the meantime, he had to do some more recon on the group of investors from last night.

He glanced over at her pretty face. She was still sound asleep. He slipped out of bed and left her another note, telling her he was going to grab breakfast for them. He planned to do that, but he also had another project in mind. He sent Niall a text, and Niall agreed to meet him at the university. Using their labs and some equipment Niall borrowed from the engineering and robotics departments, Eli put together a few trackers. He was going to keep them with him in case the investors came back.

If they did, he’d also include Ava this time. She hadn’t been angry that he’d pushed her away from them the night before, but she was curious. She’d questioned him about it several times, and he had a feeling she wasn’t going to give up. She was well-traveled and she’d met people from all over the world. Despite his dragon’s instincts, maybe there was something he was missing.

When he got back to the hotel, she was awake. Luckily, he’d stopped to pick up some coffee and blueberry scones. He settled next to her on the bed. This time, she seemed a lot happier to have him bring her breakfast in bed.

A pink blush spread across her cheeks as she accepted the coffee cup. She seemed to know exactly what he was thinking. He ran his hand over her pink cheeks, caressing her soft skin. He wished they had time to indulge again, but their morning schedule was tight.

“I’m certain those investors will be back today,” he said.

She sipped her coffee. “Are you going to tell me what the problem was?”

“I wish I knew.” He took a bite out of his own scone, wishing they were in a cafe somewhere far away from this issue. “I’m a scientist. But I also know that people are complicated and we have instincts, just like animals.”

“And your instincts told you there was a problem?” she asked.
