The clock next to the bed reads 4 a.m. Lying on her back with her hair splayed out all over my pillow, this is the most relaxed I’ve seen her. Something has been bothering her, something beyond Shadow. But she hasn’t confided in me, not even after I broke her down tonight. We have never played that hard, she’s never let me edge her to the point of crying. Ava has kept control, always, until tonight.

I held her in the shower when we were finished, washing her hair and body before gathering her up and placing her in our shared bed. The tears were still coming down in silent tracks as she curled up under the covers. She never uttered a word as I held her, my hand splayed across that jagged scar, her anger long gone, faded into this quiet tempest of some unknown emotion.

Anger, I could deal with. But not this. This reminded me too much of Shadow, and history has shown me I have no idea how to help him.

I shift down into the bed next to Ava, pulling her body close to mine. Her lilac scent invades my nostrils. Her slim body curls into mine automatically, seeking my warmth. A content sigh escapes her lips as she nuzzles down even further into my arms. As if she can’t get close enough to me. My dragon practically purrs with the delight of holding her in our arms; it eases the anxiety of Shadow being missing right now. I need to text Kai to find Shadow.

Ava lets out a small moan, her brow furrowing, before she rolls again, disrupting my thoughts. Her leg moves over my hip, aligning us perfectly. I bite back a groan as her heat blankets my groin. My dick shoots to attention. Agreeing not to complete the mate bond until Shadow’s ready is getting old, particularly with her scent still clinging to my face. My dragon barely held it together as we feasted on her wet cunt. I attempt to shift her a little further from me, to ease the pressure.

Like a moth to a flame, Ava follows my body until she’s practically on top of me. I grind my teeth as her slim body molds itself over me, but when she lets out another content sigh, I can’t make myself move again. The torture of her lilac scent in my nose and her silky skin touching my own tattoo-covered body isn’t enough to ruin her sleep. And maybe that makes me a masochist, but I can’t bring myself to care. So, taking a long, deep breath, I reach out through the bond to Shadow and urge him to come home.
