stupid.” Etor moved to the cabinet that contain his collection of wine. He pulled out his favorite brand and popped the cork then poured four glasses. He passed them out then held his up for a toast.
“While we are still in a stressful situation, I do have to celebrate finding my one true mate, Maggie.” He took a sip of the sweet tasting wine.
The other three men all raised their glass along with him and said, “To Maggie!”
“Gods, help her!” Kharis tried to mumble under his breath.
All four men laughed then drained their glasses.
Yes, he had found his mate, but the problem was he still hadn’t bonded her to him completely. Until that happened she and he would remain with the bond that was already formed and if by some chance one of them was killed then they both would die. A weak bond between mates was dangerous, but a completely formed bond would make the pair very strong in every aspect, especially with healing.
He would need to convince Maggie soon or it might be too late for either of them. Especially if the Lephusans decided to start another war.

Maggie watched the approaching storm with interest. She always loved storms back on Earth. It was the perfect time to snuggle up in a comfortable spot with a good book. Here though, she was bored.
Etor had left her hours ago and still hadn’t returned. The whole time he was gone she couldn’t take her mind off that kiss. The man could kiss, she had to admit. He lit a fire in her that had been dormant for too long and she was scared. She didn’t want to open up her heart again only to have it crushed. Mark had done a fine job of making her steer clear of other men. Etor was different though.
He had been gentle with her from the very beginning and all she had managed to do was anger him. She could tell just by looking at his eyes that he wanted her. Hell, she wanted him too! She was just to chicken to let go. There was no reason for her to feel guilty about Mark since that relationship had ended a long time ago. Mark never set her on fire like Etor did. Every time he touched her she could feel the fire heating up.
Dang! The man was freaking huge, so would that mean his cock would be just as huge? It had to be just by the feeling she got when it was pressed ag ainst her leg earlier. Could she let go?
Yes, you fool! Let go! Jump the man’s bones! He obviously wants you!
“Oh shut up,” she told herself.
Just as she was about to turn away from the window something big went flying by. She waited for it to pass by again to make sure she hadn’t been seeing things. Off in the distance she saw the small black dot dipping and flying through the air at a high rate of speed. As it got closer she could just barely make out the tiny form of a man sitting on the back of the dragon.
“You have got to be kidding me!” She plastered her face up to the window and watched as Rhaegos and Etor flew through the darkening sky. How he held on, she had no idea. It looked like he was just sitting astride the huge beast as it twisted and dipped at dangerous angles. A quick flash of lightening blind ed her for a second and when her vision cleared the dragon and its rider was gone.
She stayed by the window searching for the awesome sight until she heard the sound of the door opening and slamming shut again. Startled, she whipped around to find Etor standing there dripping wet with rain. His hair was plastered in odd ways against his face and head while water trickled down into his shirt that was partially open.
Unconsciously she licked her lips as she stared at him. God, he was gorgeous, even wet. She wasn’t sure what to do or how to act.
“Was that you on Rhaegos?” she managed to ask over her thudding heart.
He took a couple of steps in her direction then stopped. “Why do you want to know? You’ve made it quite clear you want nothing to do with me.”
“I…I was just curious.” Damn, he just put her in her place and the bad thing was she
