“I’m sure it is the Scorching that is making me act this way.” Torel cradled Haley close to his chest and tried to calm himself as they approached the door to his quarters. He hadn’t liked returning to an empty room. It felt wrong. As if someone had simultaneously turned up the gravity while dimming the lights. He hadn’t needed to ask the computer where his errant mate had gone. He could sense her presence calling to him. The bond between them was getting stronger by the hour. Despite what he’d just told Haley, he wasn’t sure his jealousy was entirely the fault of the Scorching. It felt more permanent than that.

He was starting to question if they would be able to go their separate ways when the Scorching ended. When he’d suggested it to her, he’d believed it would be a simple matter. But now he wasn’t so sure. He needed to study their mating more, applying what he’d learned of human biology and how it was affected by Pyrosian genetics. That was why he’d gone to his office earlier. Some of the information he needed wasn’t on any database, it was contained in antique books and handwritten notes from researchers long since gone from the world.

Haley was quiet until they got back to their quarters. It wasn’t until he set her back on her feet near the bed that she spoke again. “Do you know anything about Romaki dragons?”

He stilled. “A little. Why? And where did you even hear of them?”

“Tarjen said that my friend Piper is most likely with one right now, which is why no one can find them. I have questions.”

“I could try and answer your questions, but I think you’d get better information from the ship’s database. All I really know is that there two clans, fire, and snow. They are isolated, and believe that to leave their planet would result in the loss of their…” He paused to remember the word he needed. “Their magic.”

She inhaled sharply. “Magic is real?”

He snapped his fingers, summoning a small ball of bright flames. “Very real. There is no science that can explain this ability. It is a gift from the Gods.”

“Right. I put the whole, ‘you can summon fire’ thing out of my mind. It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around, you know?”

“It’s strange for me, too, and I knew it would happen if I ever mated.”

“Still trying to wrap my head around that little fact, too. I’m mated. To an alien from another planet.” She moved in closer, setting her hand on his bicep and smiling up at him, her golden eyes glowing with desire, now. “And a very sexy mate, too. If you put out that fire of yours, Tor, I think we can start a different kind of fire in that nice, comfy bed of yours.”

He closed his fist around the flame, snuffing it out. “I thought you wanted to know about the Romaki?”

“I do. Later. Right now, I can feel the Scorching starting to burn again, and I want to enjoy it while it lasts.
