woman, moaning in his ear. He needed her like this, begging him for release, accepting that he alone had the power to fulfill her needs. Her fingers bit into his skin like claws. The luscious sting made him growl his pleasure. “Tell me you are mine.”

“I am yours. I will always be yours.” Mara gasped between rhythmic thrusts of her pelvis.

He backed her up, laying her on the bed like a magnificent banquet. Her hair spread out on the white bedspread like black satin. Accenting green eyes that glowed like liquid emeralds. Her power confined within and very much alive. A fire that matched his own. He held her gaze as he knelt between her legs. The honey spiced scent that called to him was too much for the animal in him to ignore. She provided a banquet and he would feast.

She arched off the bed when his teeth grazed the inside of her thigh, nipping the skin before sucking her clit into his mouth. The sweet flesh caressed his tongue as he sucked ravenously, needing the throaty moans of lust the escaped with each lash of his tongue. He took his time, pulling every drop of her essence from her body, only to send her spiraling into orgasm and start again.

She fisted his hair, almost ripping the fine hairs from his scalp. “It’s too much.”

He rose above her, resting his straining cock at her wet entrance. “It’s never too much.” He thrust deep, holding her hips when she threatened to come off the bed. He held her locked in an endless cycle of deep thrusts.

She clutched the bed, locked in a series of orgasms that didn’t end. The lights flickered, the bed shook, and pictures on the side table fell to the ground. Nothing came between them. His body melded with hers, as did his soul. All while his shaft continued to penetrate deeper and deeper into the only salvation that existed for him.

Her muscles tightened around him, constricting his cock in a velvet vise. He roared through his release, emptying himself inside her as he gripped her hips against his body. He lay over top of her. Exhaustion a rarity for him.

Mara tapped his side, “Legion, you’re heavy.”

He smiled, rolling to the side to flip her on top of him. “I like it this way too.”

Mara lay her head on his chest. “I can’t believe you have any energy left.”

Legion pulled her down, kissing her. “That was just the appetizer. Get dressed, we are going flying.”

Mara pulled on a pair of jeans and a pink sweater. He loved the tussled look of her hair. The errant black strands fell into her eyes as she put on her boots. He took her hand, smiling at her when she glanced over his naked body. “Trust me.”

They walked out the small landing at the top of the stairs. She looked around. “You can’t shift here you will annihilate my home.”

Legion winked as wings protruded from his back. “I know.” He jumped into the air, flying upward, shifting to his full form and seating her on his back at the same time. Fear and excitement streaked through their bond.

Mara held onto the two raised scales that acted like handholds on his back. “How did you do that? I didn’t know you could sprout wings in your human form.”

I will do many things that surprise you in the coming centuries. Wings are inherent to a dragon as air is to a human. This is not an impressive feat, simply a means to propel upwards into a larger air space.

Mara pursed her lips. “Has anyone thought you were an angel? I mean, a man with wings is kind of... heavenly.”

I’m a dragon, not a bird, and no, I have never been mistaken for an angel. I would never allow a human to see me in my dragon form, let alone a partial shift.

Mara’s hands traced his back. “How do you get the wings so small; I mean you are... huge?”

My wings grew into their current form. I allow them to revert to their adolescent stage until I shift into my dragon form.

Mara cleared her throat. “It’s hard to imagine you with small... anything.”

Are you flirting with me?

She laughed. “A little.”

It’s unfair to tease me so when I cannot retaliate.

She leaned down. Her breath warmed the scales on his back. “This is the only time it’s fair. You have way too much going for you. Sexy. Powerful. You remove my ability to breathe when I look at you, and when we are in bed together, I can’t think straight.”

Serrated teeth protruded from scaled lips as he grinned. I like that.

She ran her hand over a thick rippled scale. The sensual caress made his dragon growl so low, it sounded like a purr. “I thought you would.” She looked around the city at the twinkling lights below. “It’s all so beautiful. I’ve never seen the city like this. It seems so peaceful. “

Legion felt the twinge in her heart. What is it, my love? I want nothing but your happiness.

She sighed. “You said that magic has a price. For me to be the seer, I had to give up my dreams of being a painter.”

Mara. His voice vibrated with the anguish of his mate.

She shook her head. “Let’s go to the gallery. We shouldn’t wait any longer. Thank you for bringing me here. It helps put things in perspective.”

Legion flew in silence back to her loft. For the first time, in an eternal existence, he stood on shaky ground.

Chapter 20

Mara sat on the couch in her shop. It was early, and the sunlight filtered through the crystal dream catchers that hung in the window. The rainbow of lights glittered to a soothing beat. She smiled when Natalie passed her a cup of tea. “Thanks.”

Natalie sat on the love seat, pulling her feet up. “No problem. We should talk about the pink elephant in the room?” She blew on her tea. “Or the
