TATHA

Even though, just a few days ago I swore I wouldn’t return to the valley, it didn’t surprise me when I fought to return. In fact, saying those words released something in my chest that I wasn’t aware I was holding.

But the Challenge is a constant worry in my mind, and with each beat of my wings, another rock drops in the pit of my stomach. By the time Kem and I touch down in the valley, landing right in the royal gardens, my chest is tight again and my back is in knots. I roll my neck as I shift, my body becoming smaller, the world growing larger. The solid stone steps anchor me as we climb toward the castle doors, but Kem pauses, pressing his large warm hand to my lower back. He leans down, and I’m surrounded by his scent and his shadows. His lips hover over mine, his breath fanning over my heated face. “I’m going to meet with Syphe and a few of my guards to catch up on what I’ve missed while away. I also need to be updated on Inchel.”

My face tightens, and my lips pull back at the mention of the one Challenging my Mate. Kem’s finger strokes down my cheek, and I shiver, forgetting my rage as desire floods my body. “You are welcome to come with me, Heilsi.”

I shake my head, the movement small to keep from dislodging his hand from my face. “I will leave you to your duties.”

My gaze jumps between his dark eyes and his tempting lips. It’s on the tip of my tongue to ask why he never took me in our dragon forms, but the words die as Kem smiles.

“You are a distraction.” He backs up, pulling me with him until he’s pressed to the exterior wall of his castle. His face closes in, and his lips brush softly against mine. It’s a gentle kiss, just a light touch of lips, but my entire body hums. “But a most welcome distraction, Tatha.”

The days of teasing in the mountains finally break me, and before I realize I’ve moved, I rise to my toes, my hands grasping the back of his neck. I pull him to me in a fierce kiss, and our tongues slide together. His shadows curl around us until they completely block out the afternoon light. Kem’s arm snakes around my waist, and his erection presses into my belly. I groan against his lips, and his chest rumbles with a low growl as he angles his head to take the kiss deeper.

Why didn’t he take my dragon? Why only now⁠—?

A foreign touch crawls under the hem of my dress. One of Kem’s hands is threaded through my hair, the other is wrapped around my waist, so what …?

I yank my head back. Looking around, it’s like Kem and I are in a bubble of swirling mists, smoke, and shadow. Not a speck of light leaks through. And when I glance down, I gasp as tendrils of Kem’s shadows curl up my legs, tickling my skin, moving slowly under my dress.
