Chapter 11
Talon did not have any nightmares about Scarkoft that night, so he woke smiling. The gesture faded when he realized Zala no longer lay curled in front of him on the cot. When he opened his eyes, he spotted her next to a lantern in the corner of the tent. The faint promise of dawn crept in around the edges of the door flap, but she sat, studying a game of tiles spread out on a blanket as she nibbled leathery trail rations.
Talon’s smile returned. This was a much more pleasant way to awaken than on the cold, desert ground, with the taskmasters cracking their whips. With the smirking Scarkoft always nearby. Last night, Talon had worried that the similarities between that enforced mating with Scarkoft and mating with Zala might cause him to falter, but being with her had made everything so different. The acts had shared no similarities at all. He hadn’t been helpless. He had been equally in control, albeit happy to take suggestions from her. His smile widened at the memory of how well those suggestions had been received.
A pleasant aroma teased Talon’s nostrils. A mug resting by Zala’s knee seemed to be the source of the scent.
Though curious about it, Talon lay on his side, unmoving as he watched Zala with a feeling of contentment. She had donned her uniform again, so he had no view of her exquisite body, but he had memorized it with his eyes and his hands the night before. He looked forward to seeing it again, to having her ride him like a horse again. Or like a dragon. Not that dragons had ever been ridden by humans, but perhaps he could be the first. He felt pleased that she wanted to ride him. A day earlier, he had wondered if she would ever let him touch her, but then she had invited him into her tent and shown him passion and pleasure such as he had never known as a dragon. Even better, she’d told him she wanted him to be hers and only hers. He did not know how they could make that happen, but he planned to find a way.
“Do you want some coffee, Talon?” she asked, glancing at him as she flipped one of her tiles.
Of course she had known he was awake. She was always alert, always the soldier.
“That is what you’re drinking? I will try it.”
He pushed himself to his feet, wondering if he should put that soldier’s uniform on again. He found it scratchy, and it simply put obstacles between them when they wished to mate, but clothing seemed a requirement for human society. Zala had folded the garments and left them beside the bed. As he picked them up, he noticed her looking at him, her gaze sliding up and down his body. That simple look sent blood flooding into his groin and brought thoughts of last night rushing to his head.
He paused before donning the trousers, knowing they would be uncomfortable to put on with a burgeoning erection.
