Chapter 9

Feeling a little cranky this morning—hello, sexual frustration—Keva stepped outside onto her back porch. Frowning when she saw a small brown paper bag, she bent to pick it up. Then she nearly yelped when Dagen materialized from nowhere, a huge freaking dragon just chilling in her backyard. He hadn’t been kidding about keeping guard overnight. She wasn’t worried anyone would see him, considering where she lived, but seeing him in this form was startling.

And he was absolutely beautiful. His wings were a waterfall of colors, mostly blue and silver, with subtle lavender undertones, creating a visual feast. His body was more silver than anything, his scales glittering, and the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen. God, she wanted to see him in the air, soaring.

She stared for a long moment, drinking in all of his beautiful colors. “Will you stretch out your wings?” she whispered.

She was pretty sure he could understand her when he was in dragon form, and as he let out a little huff of breath and did as she asked, she grinned. Holy crap, he was stunning.

“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.” There was no way to deny his beauty, his raw power.

He let out another little huff and flapped his wings a couple times, fanning her with a gentle breeze. Then he stood up and strutted around the yard, as if he was actually showing off for her.

Still watching, she sat down on the porch and reached for the bag. Later she would sketch him, but she was starving and she didn’t want to pause and go grab a pad and pencil. She quickly peeked inside the bag and let out a little moan when she saw tons of pastries, including cannolis, her favorite. Someone must have dropped it off because she didn’t think Dagen would have left her to go get them.

She put the bag down and looked at him again. He was now just sitting there, watching her, his dragon eyes the same shades of blue and silver. And even though he was an apex predator and pretty much at the top of the food chain, she didn’t feel threatened. Still, it was a little disconcerting to be staring at a freaking dragon in her backyard. “Did you bring these?”

He shook his head.

“I’m going to grab some plates and coffee for us. I’ll be right back.” She hurried inside and grabbed everything, putting it on a tray. At the last minute she grabbed an apron. He would have to shift back to human form to eat and drink and she doubted he wanted to sit there in the buff. She wouldn’t mind seeing him, but she had a feeling she wouldn’t be able to concentrate on her food if he was completely naked. It had been hard enough last night in the kitchen when he’d just been shirtless.

By the time she stepped outside, all she saw was a shimmer of light and sparks filling the air and then he was standing there in human form.
