Chapter Eight

Bewildered, Phoenix stood in the middle of his bedroom. “Katarina, wait!”

He fought the transmutation her rejection had evoked in him. He hadn’t meant to start the shift, but the fury born from frustration and crushed hopes burned deep, a pain so acute it fed the flames within. His breaths ragged, black smoke blew from his mouth, his nose. His dragon wanted out.

The front door slammed shut.

She’s gone…

His fun-loving dragon girl was gone, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Every bone in his body ached to follow her, to take her in his arms and tell her everything would be all right, but the fear in her eyes broke his heart.

Her dragon eyes.

God, how he’d missed gazing at those captivating emerald eyes of hers, but she’d fought her inner dragon. He’d witnessed the sheer terror on her face.

Then she’d leapt off the bed and called him a freak. A goddamn freak.

He breathed slowly in and out and controlled the shift. The last thing he needed was to go full-on dragon in his tiny bedroom and break the bloody roof—thatched roof repairs cost a fortune these days.

Nix glanced down at his hand, watching her ice melt, then sizzle on his palm. He hadn’t meant to hold her so… so desperately, but he thought she knew what she was. He thought she remembered the life they’d shared.

He’d missed their lovemaking too. Not for one moment had he imagined this evening would end with the most incredible, soul-consuming sex he’d had in centuries, but then, it had always been like that between them.

Everything she’d said, everything she’d done, all suggested she knew him. The scent of magic that percolated in the air the moment he saw her in the pub, her sense of déjà vu, her recognition when he’d shown her the old photo in his lounge; he assumed she knew of her dragon nature. Nix recalled her words before he’d carried her upstairs. We know each other. You’re like me.

So why had she feared him when he’d gazed at her through his dragon eyes? It was their thing, showing each other their dragon eyes just before they climaxed. It used to turn her on no end, and him too—why had it terrified her so much she had to scramble off him, leaving him high and dry?

Not that he was in the mood now.

He’d ruined everything.

He shouldn’t have forced it; he shouldn’t have shown her the photo of them in the 1920s. His wishful thinking back then had got him nowhere, and now that same thinking, embedded with false hope, had lost him the best chance he’d ever had to break the sorceress’s curse.

Kat, she called herself in this life. She wasn’t his Katarina. This Kat was a beautiful woman looking for some fun, and there was nothing wrong with that, but beneath the surface, she feared the truth. She was not ready to accept her dragon.

He glanced around his bedroom, noting her jeans and top still on the floor, and a shoe too.
