being shut in. Breaking away from Connor she went to let her cat out. “This does mean I’m staying, right?” she asked, turning back to see an amused look on Connor’s face.
“I should think so. I’m hoping you intend to spend at least some of the time in the next two days fulfilling your end of the bargain.”
She blushed. “I didn’t know if you’d still want me.”
He sighed, and came towards her, threading his fingers through her hair. “You don’t get it do you?”
“What?”
“I’m almost certain that potion is useless. You are the only thing that has captured my soul, and my body.” He lowered his head to press his lips against hers. “And my heart.”
Serena wrapped her arms around his neck, drawing him down to her. Softly he kissed her, questioning her willingness. She answered him with her eager mouth, needing his touch. Now everything was out in the open, she wanted to show him how much she cared for him. People had always scared her, they were deceitful and dishonest, all but Charlotte.
Until she had walked into this house and met her dragon.
Chapter Two - Connor
It all began to fall into place. The reason Serena had come to him and offered herself as the vessel for his child. He had known the money she had asked for wasn’t enough, bearing a dragon child was no longer a thing a woman did for family honour.
The truth complicated matters, he would have to persuade Zoah to help, and despite his words to Serena, it was a risk. Their tough dragon scales were no match for armour piercing weapons. They would have to plan this carefully.
And yet despite the dangers, his heart was lighter. Serena’s admission had also told him she was not a gold digger, and not a whore. If there had ever been a good reason for tricking him, the threat to her sister was it.
Serena had been forced to come to him. It explained why she had been so scared that first night. She had thought him a beast of myth, what stories they had told her he could only imagine. Had she expected to be a different kind of sacrifice on the stone altar if she hadn’t pleased him?
Now, thankfully, something had happened between them that had changed her perception, of dragons. He truly believed she trusted him, and she would be right to. Dragons were the most faithful of creatures when they found the right mate. His father had spent the whole of his life loving their mother, until the sad bitter end when she had been like dust in his hands.
He would help Serena get her sister back, and then take them all away from here, make a better, safer life for them. That included the child they would make together, because he had no doubt he could defeat this Samuel, and so their child would be safe.
His hand went to the hem of her dress and inched it up. She parted her legs, waiting for him to touch her. His earlier promise to himself forgotten, with the truth in the open there was no reason not to try to make a baby. A child. Another dragon.
His finger slipped inside her sex, she wanted him, her body never lied. Neither did his, he was so hard, he needed her, his decision not to make love to her again, not to create that child was broken. There was no way this Samuel was going to get his hands on his soul, or his child. Not while there was still a heart beating inside his chest.
Chapter Three - Serena
Forgiveness from Connor was the greatest gift he could ever give her. No, that wasn’t quite true, his love, and a child, that would be greater. Before now she had never wanted to bring a child into the world, that kind of love would hurt too much when Samuel would use it to control her. Now, Connor offered her freedom from Samuel, she only hoped the cost wasn’t too high.
Connor slipped another finger inside her, his thumb brushing her clit, and she let go of everything. The past, and the future were nothing compared to the present, with the man she wanted to spend the rest of her days with, the man who was about to make love to
