in love with you, I can give you many reasons,” he said, tilting back his head to look at her. “You’re lovely. You’re honest. You say what you mean, no matter the consequences. You’re brave, letting me in when you’ve been hurt. You keep giving me the benefit of the doubt, even when I can tell you want to run.”
She was quiet and attentive, and he could tell he was affecting her, even though she was trying to hide it.
He took one of her hands and held it against this chest. “You make me feel alive. You make me want to be more than the debauched rogue I was. You help me understand this world and, more importantly, want to fight for it. You make me care about something outside myself.” He was silent a moment, waiting for the right words. “You’re just plain special.”
She walked closer, wrapping both arms around him and looking into his eyes. “Maybe you really do have sexy powers. Because despite everything that has happened today, I’m really in the mood.”
“I don’t know that it’s my powers,” he said. “I mean, the other dragons joke about it, but I’m pretty sure it’s just the initial attraction women feel based on my looks. No more than that. I hope so anyway. I think that’s what really initially intrigued me about you. You weren’t just falling over me instantly. So when you did come to me, I knew you did it because you got to know me. Not just because, like every other woman, you wanted to get a taste.”
“Well, I did want a taste,” she said. “That just didn’t override my inhibitions. And I’m glad, because I wanted to know you for you. And you’re so much more than the douchebag you first appeared to be.”
“Less of a douchebag now, anyway,” he said, grinning, as he brought his lips close to hers. “So you said you were in the mood.”
“Are you?” she asked, her lips tickling his.
He laughed and squeezed her waist with his hands. “Do you even have to ask? I’m always in the mood with you.” He flicked his tongue out to graze her lip and felt her shudder. “So what do you want from me?”

Everything was what she wanted when it came to Red.
“Just do your thing, sex dragon,” she said, half joking, half honest.
The fact that he was a dragon was still settling in, even if it made sense. But all that mattered was Red was still just Red to her, and none of the mystery and magic surrounding their meeting changed that.
Red chuckled at that, a sexy, low-sounding rumble as he deftly switched their positions, laying her back on the bed, legs dangling off the side as he came over her, emitting an intangible, exciting aura of dominance.
He pulled off his shirt first, greeting her with another view of that perfect body, just in time, as he knelt down and kissed her. His lips were rough against hers, claiming and powerful. She opened her mouth to let him in. Inside, his tongue flicked against hers, stroking with wonderful motion as his muscled legs straddled her on the bed, surrounding her everywhere.
This was a new Red from the one she’d experienced last night. More unmitigated, more alpha, more unrelenting as he moved from her lips to her ear, licking along the outer lobe and then biting down softly on the tip. She felt her body arch back, but all she could feel was rock-hard muscle and intense pleasure wherever his lips touched her.
And then Red started to move lower, his kisses trailing feverishly over her collarbone. But when he reached the edge of her shirt, he just pulled it and her bra down with it, her breasts spilling out and meeting the cool air of the room.
She could tell from the way his intense green eyes roved over her body that he was every bit as turned on as she was, and as he came down and sucked hard on one wanting nipple, she could feel his gaze on her still, even as she closed her eyes against the wave of intense sensation coursing through her.
Nothing he did was slow. He moved from one breast to the other
