Seela awoke in a panic, sure her mother would be angry with her for oversleeping. Yet, when she glanced around, she remembered she was in Stenton’s bed, in the deep, dark cavern. She was the dragon sacrifice.

Oh, and Jerrard needed her.

Getting up immediately, she bunched her hair to the top of her head and tied it with a leather thong she found on one of the tables. She washed herself from the sweet-smelling basin that someone had provided for her as she slept. Three strips of crispy bacon from the breakfast tray left by the bed found their demise as she quickly dressed and primped. She needed to hurry to see how her patient was doing, but then there was the matter of the handsome princes to consider.

Her desire for them had cooled overnight, but not by much. They were so handsome, so smart and brave. And it didn’t hurt they were shoved down here together in such tight quarters that they were practically tripping over each other all the time. The strangest part was that they desired her so deeply. Well, two of them did. And frankly, it was overwhelming.

Pushing the thoughts aside, she threw open Stenton’s bedroom door and beelined toward where she’d last seen Jerrard, spread out nearly naked on the kitchen table with her poultices on all his wounds. Had her work done any good? He was nearly drained dry by those monsters. Any other man would have perished long ago. At that thought, panic spurred her onward.

Her mouth dropped. “How…” She pointed at his healed body.

“Did my brothers not tell you?” He frowned. “Dragons have amazing healing properties. The beasts who drained me knew when to stop to keep me alive. As bait, from what I hear.” His expression darkened for a moment before he brought his smile back up for her. “I also hear I owe much to my nurse.” He stepped forward, taking her hand and gently bringing it up to his mouth.

Seela shivered with pleasure as his lips brushed against the skin of her hand. “It was nothing.”

“It was not nothing.” Jerrard’s lime-green eyes held her gaze. “I really appreciate it. My brothers are abysmal at healing arts. They prefer swords and cudgels.”

“You saved my life,” she said, drawing her hand back slowly and using it to smooth back her hair. She wished now that she’d spent a little more time on her appearance.

“Back in ancient times, both of us would be beholden to the other for life. Doesn’t sound so bad.” His smile was warm and flirtatious. Adjusting his big frame to lean against the table, he glanced about. “My brothers are busy at the moment. Could I take you on a
