Chapter 11

Brittany woke up the next morning feeling vaguely ashamed about what had happened.

She rubbed her head, watching Lead, who was still asleep next to her in bed, his big body sprawled under a sheet, wearing only pajama bottoms.

Looking at him just made her remember everything she did. How desperate she’d been, how hard she’d pushed him. But she’d never wanted anyone more in her life, and the more he’d been concerned and honorable regarding her, the more she just wanted to debauch him, make him her own.

She sighed into her hand. She was so selfish. Had he even enjoyed it? He’d seemed to. And he’d said he liked her, that he found her hard to resist. But would that still apply now that she’d practically ravished him?

Of course, he was a big, strong dragon, so she couldn’t really take advantage of him, but what if he just felt too bad turning her down? What if he woke up this morning regretting things?

She would hate that but probably deserved it.

She got up to get dressed, hoping to be quiet enough not to wake him, and saw him stir.

Oh no.

She grabbed her clothing and was about to run for the bathroom to change, but couldn’t help looking over to see how he felt.

He was blinking and pushing himself up in the bed, looking around, and then she saw his face drain of color and knew the moment he recalled what had happened last night.

His eyes darted around and found her, and his jaw dropped slightly as he stared blankly, as if he didn’t know what to say.

“Brittany, I’m sorry.”

She froze. “What?” That was not what she wanted to hear.

“I’m sorry,” he said, pushing the covers aside and getting out of the bed. He came forward and took one knee in front of her, lowering his head. “I behaved in a dishonorable manner last night, and I beg your forgiveness.”

She stuttered for a second, then gathered her wits and her pride. “I don’t need to forgive you. In case you don’t remember, I was the one wanting it.”

“Yes, but you were vulnerable. I was the one who should have stayed collected and calm. I should have protected you, even from yourself.”

“Well, that is trash,” she muttered, heading for the bathroom. “No one should protect someone from what they want. You aren’t my parent.”

He blinked. “Of course not. I—” He sighed. “I am still sorry, Brittany.”

Her pride was still smarting over his apologies for the best sex of her life. Sex that had felt so right, so enjoyable in the moment. But here in the morning light, without the adrenaline rush from prior danger and without the thought that darkness would hide them, everything was somehow murkier.

She lifted her chin. “And I said there was nothing to apologize for.”

He nodded. “It would be best if we both tried to forget what happened, then. I will not make the same mistake again.”

Mistake? He thought she was a mistake? Did he even like her? If
