she realized, and didn’t like to see her uncertain or embarrassed in front of others.
He was also the most handsome man she had ever seen. Tall, muscular and strong, his flashing green eyes heated her through and through. His dark hair had just a hint of wave to it, hanging long and healthy just above his shoulders. His face was angular and so masculinely beautiful, she had to stop herself from just staring at him and sighing. His wide shoulders and massive arms made her want to run her fingers all over him, learning his hard dips and valleys. The slight swirl of dark hair on his powerful chest made her want to explore his flat nipples and farther down his chiseled abdomen, down to the fascinating, mysterious hardness between his thighs.
She’d never seen a more magnificent male, not that she’d seen all that many cocks in her life, but she had glimpsed a few as the crude warriors of Salomar’s house went about their business in public. None of those slovenly men had anywhere near the physique or massive man parts Roland boasted. His cock was thick and long, making her wonder just how he intended to fit it inside her untried body. The idea made her squirm in both fear and longing. She wanted to know, finally, what it felt like to be possessed by a man. By Roland. She knew she would never find any better man to take her virginity than Roland, and she looked forward to the event with both trepidation and a sort of hopeful anxiety.
Would it hurt? Would he be gentle and kind, or rough and impatient?
She was betting he’d be as gentle as possible, judging by the way he’d already given her pleasure twice now, so unselfishly. She knew he had www.samhainpublishing.com 87
been left hard and wanting both times, but he’d made nothing of it, letting her know through his actions that all was well. He told her in no uncertain terms that he wanted her, but was showing her by his actions that he was a patient man who could wait for his pleasure until the time was right. He was like no man she’d ever known before and she counted herself lucky to know that sooner or later, this special man would be her first lover.
“I asked Hal, Jures and Candis to meet us in the great hall for an early supper.” Roland spoke at her side as they walked down the wide hallway. “I want you to see the main hall and how we use it for meals and different events in the Lair, but I don’t want to get bogged down in the ceremony of a formal state dinner—which we will if we don’t sneak in before the crowd gathers. I hope you don’t mind.” He tucked her small hand into his arm, guiding her forward as he spoke.
“I prefer it, I think,” she admitted. “Everyone’s been staring at us and it’s making me a little uncomfortable.”
He shrugged. “You’ll get used to it after a while, but I understand.
You’re new and puzzling to the knights, Lana. There are no female dragon riders here, and no Ice Dragons that I know of in the whole of the land. You’ll have to get used to the attention. It should help to realize that they look on you and Tor with wonder, not enmity. You fascinate them, as you do me.” He paused, running a light hand over her hair as he stared down into her eyes.
Moving closer, he made her feel like they were the only two beings in the entire world, so intimate did his caress feel on her hair. He bent to kiss her and the world narrowed even further to just the two of them, locked together in an embrace that felt so right, so pure, so loving, she couldn’t question it. She could only revel in it as she returned his kiss wholeheartedly.

“Sire, don’t you think you should do your courting in private?”
Hal’s laughing voice came to her from out of the fog of sensual pleasure Roland had wrapped around her. She pulled back the little bit Roland would allow, her head clearing as she realized with shock they were in the middle of the crowded hall, people watching them from all sides. She found Hal,
