Saphira

Sleep comes in short bursts for the rest of the night. My body aches to be nearer to Bren, but I can't bring myself to move to lay beside him again. After everything that's happened, I'm having a hard time sorting out my emotions. I'm a complete wreck, lying in the dark, with everything that happened tonight on replay inside my head.

I wanted it — no doubt about that. Physically, my body ached for him, needed him. Nothing short of feeling Bren's cock inside me was going to sate my needs. But now that it's over, I can't believe I went through with it. I'd never been with a man before, not like that. Now that I crossed that line with him, I'm not sure how I'm ever going to be able to walk away. Soon, I'll have to return to my Father's side. Not only will that mean leaving Bren behind, it means I fight against him and his friends.

I want to run away with Bren, just the two of us, and live somewhere alone. Somewhere we'll be safe, just the two of us. We can be together without worrying about anything else. But when I glance over at his sleeping form, I know that it's a silly fantasy. No way would Bren leave Lex and the others behind. They mean too much to him to just walk away from.

In a way, I admire that. He's considerate and loyal, both good traits to have in a mate. But I can't help but think about what that means for the two of us. The way things are going, we'll be fighting each other soon enough. And I don't know how I'm going to be able to do that. How can I fight against the man I love so much? Because, after what we just experienced together, I know it's love I feel for Bren.

I can't explain it, don't understand it, but I love Bren. I love him so much it hurts.

I've only felt like this once before in my life, and I'd been too weak and foolish back then. That weakness, that foolishness, cost him his life. It had been a doomed relationship from the start, I know that now, but that doesn't make me feel any better. My relationship with Bren isn't any less doomed just because he happens to be a dragon.

It makes everything that much more difficult.

I wonder if I can convince all of them how foolish going against Father is. Maybe I can reason with them, convince them to abandon this quest and just go somewhere to live in peace, away from Amasis and the Clutch. Most of them have mates now. Maybe I can use that as leverage, make them understand the risk this foolish war entails for their mates.

That's the only thing I can think of that might keep Bren and the others safe. Because, no matter how badly they believe in their cause, I know it's doomed. They can't stand against Father.

Before, that thought didn't bother me nearly as much as it does now.
