Chapter 6

It was insanity, of course. All of it.

What Sam had done to her, what Ari was about to do…

Ignoring the fact he’d turned into a freaking dragon right in front of her, a massive creature at once terrifying and exquisitely beautiful, that she’d asked him to kiss her, that she wanted him to kiss her couldn’t be described as anything but insanity.

And yet she stood still, her heart fast, her tummy fluttering, and watched him close the small distance between them, keeping her stare locked on his face.

A gazillion questions swirled through her head, a goddamn hurricane of them. Questions like what did it mean to be a non-shifting dragon shifter? Was it true? Or had Sam just been trying to get in her pants? If it were true, how would she ever prove it? Did she need to?

What exactly was a Fire Mate? Why was Ari hers?

Why couldn’t she sense him anymore? Where had the urgent sexual hunger she’d felt for him gone? Had Sam destroyed that part of her completely? And if he had, why was she so…so…unsettled now by the notion of Ari standing so close to her? So affected by the thought of his lips on hers…

Questions. Questions. Some serious. Some scary.

She’d get to them all. She had to, for her own sanity. Perhaps she’d chosen to complete a Masters in Norse Mythology because deep down in her very soul she had a connection to it all? Perhaps being a dragon shifter explained why she’d been so drawn to the study of that time and mythology?

Mythology? Huh. Maybe that term wasn’t the right one. The Norse had believed in dragons. Had worshipped them. It seemed they weren’t as deluded as the twenty-first-century scholars believed them to—

“Jilly,” Ari murmured, smoothing his palm over her cheek.

Her breath caught, her thoughts scattering at his touch.

She gazed up into his eyes. Her pulse pounded in her ears like canon fire. “Your eyes are blue,” she whispered. “They were green when you were a dragon.”

A low chuckle fell from Ari. He gently touched his thumb to her bottom lip. “Most of me is green when I’m a dragon. Including my blood.”

“My blood is red.” The lame declaration fell from her in a husky rasp.

“Red and green are complimentary colors,” he answered, lowering his head closer to hers.

“How do you know that?” Her ravenous, desperate lust for him earlier may no longer be there, but holy hell, that didn’t mean she wasn’t feeling…something.

Horny?

Excited?

Nervous?

All three?

“I paid attention in art lessons at school,” he said, before gently brushing his lips over hers.

A rush of pleasure rolled through her. She sighed into the kiss, eyes closing.

He smoothed his hand over her hip, tugging her a little closer to his body. Her mind—overwrought and strung out—reacted, reminding her with startling urgency he wore no clothes, and only a few short minutes ago had been a creature she’d believed did not exist.

She pulled away, catching her bottom lip with her teeth even as she looked up at him.
