He awakened to the sound of the shower.

Kaden surfaced groggily, wearing what he knew was a foolish smile. Nothing about Tess was as he expected. He had come here to order her to obey him. Instead, she had used him, and used him well, on her own terms. The woman had fire in her.

His smile faded as quickly as it had appeared. The woman had fire in her. Too much, and too quickly. Already she understood the language of his kind, though he didn’t think she even realized he had spoken it to her. Or that she had spoken it back.

He knew the dangers of bonding with a human in his own world. In this one, it seemed it would work the same way.

“Doesn’t matter,” he growled. If she lived through the change, so be it. If she did not, it was one less treasure to protect. He refused to care about one more thing that could be destroyed. Enjoy, yes. Care, no.

He was glaring at the ceiling when the singing started.

“Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme...”

Kaden just lay there a moment, listening. Tess had mentioned she was a singer, but he hadn’t expected her voice to sound like this. It was...wondrous.

Tess’s voice rose and fell, first high and sweet and then dropping to a throaty purr. He heard the words, but they hardly mattered. Every note resonated with her happiness. It had been many years since he’d heard something so pure. His people would have loved to hear her. His people...

Kaden pushed the thought from his mind, and all the hurt and anger that went with it. If there were any left, they were scattered, and he was trapped here regardless. There would be no help for a dragon, and the hunters had sealed all the old ways shut. It was hopeless.

“For once she was a true love of mine...”

He could hear her smile in that beautiful, husky voice. It stirred something deep within his chest, where his ancient heart beat. Tess’s song reminded him of things long forgotten, and feelings better left buried. And yet he was hungry for it...for her.

When the water stopped and Tess padded back into the room, he was waiting for her, propped up against the pillows. The silken material of the bedding slid against his skin, and he wished it were her fingertips instead.

The way her eyes moved over him made him as hard as he thought he had ever been.

“You’re awake,” Tess said.

He simply watched her come in, her deep red hair tumbling wet around her shoulders, blue eyes alight. Already he could see the glow their lovemaking had put there. She should be warned...but then, what good would it do?

Guilt was another emotion Kaden wanted no part of. He buried it as best he could and focused on the beautiful woman with his dragyn-ka glinting at her neck. The wave of possession that swept him was more than satisfying.

Mine, he thought.

She wore nothing but her towel, and Kaden enjoyed letting his eyes wander over her curves.
