Chapter Eleven

Alec shifted on the couch, forcing air into his lungs, trying to control his dragon. Lucy comparing their night to other dates infuriated his dragon instincts. Irrational jealousy exploded in his head, even as raw desire sliced through his gut and burned to his groin. It took every bit of his learned willpower to keep himself under control, to keep from jumping on Lucy, ripping the sexy dress off, and making her his.

His human self wanted Lucy with feral intensity, but his dragon…

His dragon wanted to snatch her up and take to the sky.

That might not be quite the end to the most-amazing-evening Lucy had in mind.

“Lucy, you asked me before to slow things down between us.” Alec forced his foot not to jiggle on his knee. “There’s no need for us to rush things.” He forced the words through his lips even as a surge of spiky need hit his blood stream. His beast pulsed under his skin. His dragon’s wings beat against the human bone and flesh, demanding action.

Fly. Take her. She is yours…

“Slow things down?” Lucy looked suddenly uncertain, as if the needle had jumped off her most-amazing-date record. “You didn’t write hot sex into my contract?”

Her words were like a gut punch. And his mind immediately painted a picture of naked limbs and silk sheets.

“No.”

…

Lucy set her drink on the bar and frowned. Alec watched her from the couch, his body still, and his poker face gave nothing away. Surely she had not misread his cues all evening? She untied the side of her dress. The wrap fell open; her sexy white lingerie gleamed against her skin in the moonlight.

Still Alec didn’t move.

“You aren’t interested now?” She wanted to sound vampish, but her voice trembled with uncertainty. “Was I too easy…you know before, in the spa?” She pulled the sides of the dress around her stomach protectively.

Alec dropped his foot and sat forward. “Lucy, I want you more than anything.”

“Then why are you just sitting there?” Lucy fought to keep her smile playful. She knew the hurt of rejection showed in her expression, but she would not turn and run. He would have to say the words.

Then she would leave. Disappointment sucked at her heart. It would probably be for the best.

Alec drank deeply from his glass before setting it aside. “I want to be sure that you are ready for things between us.”

“I am taking my clothes off here.” Lucy pulled apart the dress to show him one more time what he was missing. “How much more ready do I have to be?” She walked up to him and brushed her leg against his knee. A crackle of electricity moved up her thigh.

She leaned in harder.

Alec inhaled. His eyes met hers, then wandered down her body slowly. The hair on Lucy’s arms stood on end, but his lack of initiative doused her desire.

She chewed on her lip and stepped back. “Just say it…You’ve changed your mind.”

“I haven’t changed my mind—”

“Then what?” Lucy tied her dress back on, hot humiliation whirling through her head.
