The Dragon’s Desire
Set between Chapter 10 and the Epilogue
Elara couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Three weeks into their new life at the Sanctuary, with Lily settled in her own chambers and the first handful of refugees beginning to arrive, she should have been focused on a thousand practical concerns. Supply runs. Room assignments. The territorial dispute between the selkie family and the grumpy griffin over the eastern terrace.
Instead, she was lying awake at midnight, staring at the canopy above their bed, thinking about scales.
Specifically, the way they felt against her skin when Valerius was in his partial shift. The rasp of them. The heat. The reminder that the man who held her so tenderly was something far more primal underneath.
They’d made love dozens of times since the mating—slow and sweet, hard and desperate, playful and intense. But always with him in his human form. Always with the dragon carefully leashed.
She wanted to unleash it.
“You’re thinking very loudly.”
Valerius’s voice cut through the darkness, amused and knowing. He was lying beside her, supposedly asleep, but of course the bond had betrayed her.
“Sorry,” she whispered. “Go back to sleep.”
“I was not asleep. I was enjoying the show.” The mattress shifted as he rolled onto his side, facing her. Even in the dim light, she could see his eyes glowing faintly amber. “Your fantasies are exceptionally vivid tonight.”
Heat flooded her cheeks. “You can see them? Specifically?”
“I can feel them. The bond translates desire into… impressions. Sensations.” His hand found her hip beneath the furs, squeezed gently. “Tonight’s impressions have been particularly interesting.”
“Valerius—”
“Scales,” he murmured, his voice dropping into that register that made her stomach flip. “Heat. Something larger than human. Something that makes you feel small and overwhelmed and completely, utterly claimed.” His hand slid up her side, leaving goosebumps in its wake. “Am I close?”
She couldn’t speak. Could barely breathe.
“I know what you dream about,” he continued, his mouth finding her throat. “The bond shows me everything. Every dark fantasy. Every secret want you’ve never told anyone.”
“That’s not fair.”
“No. It isn’t.” His smile was pure sin against her skin. “But tonight, I’m going to make every single one of them come true.”
* * *
He shifted before she could respond.
Not fully—the chambers couldn’t contain his true form—but enough. Scales rippled across his skin like a wave, transforming smooth flesh into something textured and dangerous. His body grew, expanded, until he was looming over her with shoulders twice as broad and hands that could span her entire waist. His eyes blazed pure gold, pupils elongated into vertical slits. And when he smiled, his teeth were sharper than any human’s had a right to be.
“Tell me, little thief.” His voice had dropped an octave, resonating in his chest like distant thunder. “Have you ever been taken by a dragon in his true form?”
“This isn’t your true form.”
“No. My true form would break this bed. Break this room.” He lowered his head, ran his tongue—longer now, hotter—up the column of her throat. “But this is close enough to give you what you want.”
“And what do I want?”
“To feel small.” His clawed hand fisted in her nightgown, and with one sharp tug, the fabric tore like paper. “To feel overwhelmed.” He yanked away the remnants, leaving her bare beneath him. “To feel like prey that’s been caught by something ancient and hungry and completely without mercy.”
She shuddered—not from cold. “Yes.”
“Then stop thinking.” He caught her wrists in one massive hand, pinned them above her head. “And let the dragon have you.”
