Lena woke when the other side of the bed dipped with what felt like the weight of a giant. She forced one eyelid up and saw Calix looking at her with great concern. His expression was so serious it made her laugh.

And it made her glad he hadn’t stayed to wake her up yesterday.

“Stop staring, Deputy Dawg. All women look like hell in the morning,” she told him.

Calix’s expression cleared and a grin spread across his face. “You look beautiful to me, and I like knowing I’m the reason you look as rumpled as you do.”

“You’re such a guy,” Lena said, rolling to her side. She purred when Calix cupped her face in his palm. “Leaving for work?”

Calix nodded. “Yes. Theo called me. He’s already gone out to handle something. He wants me there to mind the office.”

Lena giggled. “You sure are discreet with your cell phone. I’ve never even seen you use it.”

Calix blew out a breath then just said it. Maybe she couldn’t yet hear him, but she needed to learn to do so. “Dragons in the same family don’t need phones. They just think what they want the person to hear. Theo and I speak that way all the time.”

Lena rolled to her back and away from his hand as she sighed. “Great. We’re back to the dragon thing again.”

“It’s unavoidable today,” Calix said softly. “Betty brought breakfast for you. I smell it.”

“Can you stay and eat with me?”

“I wish I could. Duty in the form of my insistent cousin means I do not get food this morning.”

“What are you doing today?”

“We will deal with the parents of Nate’s bullies. Topper’s coming.”

“The purple-haired witch, aka rabbit woman,” Lena said, chuckling. “Every time I try to sort out what I saw, I feel like Alice in Wonderland.”

“You feel like Lena in Magic to me.”

Lena pushed herself up and pulled the sheet over her breasts.

Calix stared and then sighed. “You’re growing more beautiful each time my eyes land on you.”

“I could send that compliment right back,” Lena replied with her own sigh. She waved her hand. “Go to work, Calix. I’ll see you tonight.”

“Lena, I…”

Lena snorted. “Are seriously intending to lock me up this afternoon?”

Calix rose from the bed and nodded. “I must. It’s for the good of all. I will stay with you until we know what the Fates have planned. Despite my doubts, it is a precaution worth taking. Perhaps nothing will happen. If tonight passes without you changing…” He shrugged. “Let us hope you remain your true self. We can put this behind us then and discuss a reasonable future.”

Lena inspected her arms. Her rash and the attack on her last evening both still seemed too surreal to believe. So did making love to Calix last night. The dream of flying she had was nice though.

“I have to be honest with you, Deputy Dawg. I haven’t ruled out tht peyote in the pie theory yet.”

Calix laughed. “Your persistence is both your worst quality and what made me fall in love with you.
