CHAPTER TWELVE

Devon

Devon was fairly certain he was holding his breath the entire way through the mansion. He kept a strong grip on Gemma’s hand, coiling his fingers between hers and reveling in the heat and lust that it sent tumbling through him. She rattled questions about where they were going and what he wanted to show her as he led her through the building, but he promptly ignored all of them.

He couldn’t speak – at least not until he got there. If he stopped to explain, he might not take her there, might not dare to show her the biggest secrets of the Bluewing family despite his infallible knowledge that she was the one.

One dark passageway turned into the next and then another and another as he broke through doors that had been standing for countless centuries. He knew the way by heart, but the deeper they got, the more confusing things must have got for Gemma, as the catacombs under the Bluewing mansion had left many a fool over the years stranded to die without finding a way out. As his heart constricted in his chest, he had to wonder if these catacombs would be his undoing as well.

It wasn’t something he was accustomed to feeling – a dragon rarely felt nervous. In life and in death, a dragon always knew that his purpose was to grow and protect the hoard, to become powerful, to continue the line. He’d never faltered when faced with possibilities for the first two, so it was like rain on a cloudless day to find that there was, in fact, something that could rattle him. And furthermore that something was a someone, and the most gorgeous creature he’d ever laid eyes on.

He squeezed Gemma’s hand a bit tighter as they reached a set of heavy doors, seemingly worn smooth with countless years, though faint markings and inscriptions could still be read on them.

The doors were locked but sprang open at his touch, recognizing their true master. It was the trek he made each day, sometimes more than once, but this was the first time he had taken someone along that wasn’t his kin. His dragon had taken notice but urged him on. It was the right thing to do. She was his mate, and she had to be made certain that he was in it for the long haul and with earnest intentions. What better way to do that than to show her his greatest weakness?

Past him would have scoffed at the thought – Devon Bluewing, having feelings for a curvy commoner without royal blood? The horror. He would have promptly punched past Devon in the face for that. He had been a fool.

“Just wait,” he told her, squeezing her hand encouragingly. Finally, they came to a wrought iron door that had turned black with flame and soot over the years. A few fire pits burned in the wide cavern, the ceiling impossibly high and the door reaching at least twenty by twenty feet – just big enough for a dragon to wedge through.
