Her Trapped Dragon

Vega “If you wish to one day, take over the council.  You will need a mate.”  Adner said to me and I clenched my teeth together.  How could my father not see that there was no need for me to take a mate?

Chapter Two Louis Walking out of Marcus’ office, I moved over to the espresso machine. Boston never got it right, I’d fix this and leave it for the new girl to give to him. It would give me a chance to see the one who had caught Marcus’ eye. I couldn’t help but feel nervous at his words. That he’d felt a pull to her. How would that affect us? My hands were swift as I moved about, readying the grounds and pressing them down. I was well aware how others viewed me. Keen ears left little room for secrets. When I was with Marcus, he made it all disappear. With him, I knew that he would keep me safe. He’d keep others safe from me, should he need to. There hadn’t been anyone I was really drawn to besides him. Not after Elin. It was too hard to get attached to someone you could kill by accident. My ches

My lust didn’t fade. As Amelia handed me my drink her fingers grazed mine. I felt heat flow through me at the touch. I looked down at our joined hands and my eyes widened as I took in the hastily scribbled phone number and heart. My eyes flicked to hers and she raised an eyebrow. “So all the girls leave you their numbers on cups?” “There is only one number I want,” I said, winking at her as I unwrapped my straw and took a sip of the apple tea. Being around her was making me crave sweet tasting things. “I bet you say that to all the girls.” She said with a half smile, unwrapping her sandwich. “Only the ones with brown eyes and freckles.” “So you have a type.” She chuckled, looking up at me. “Something like that.” I wanted to tell her that she was my type. Well, her and Marcus. Unwrap

“Vega requests an audience with you.” The voice said on the other end purred through the phone and had to bite back a growl of frustration. “How many times will I have to ask you not to do that?”   “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He said with a chuckle that I could feel moving over my skin as he tried to suck me under. “Sin.” I growled as I pushed past the lobby doors, the fresh air hitting my senses clearing her from my thoughts for a moment.  “You’re so fun to play with, Vega would like to set up a meeting.”  “What is this in regards to?” I asked, as I aimlessly walked down the sidewalk. “You know I can’t share that, I can however share that she has a proposal for you.”  &l

Marcus and I made our way to the parking garage. He moved to the passenger side, and I slipped in the driver’s side. Closing the door as he loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top button of his collared shirt. There was just something about being alone with him and the way he let down his guard in moments like these that made me want him more.  I put the key in the ignition and the engine of our SUV rumbled to life. Moving my hand, I shifted out of park and into reverse. Before shifting into drive and navigating us up the twist and turns that would take us onto the street. The sun painted the sky behind the buildings bright shades of oranges and lavenders. I thought about how that sun would feel against my hide as I moved through the clouds. Feeling the bite of the cool breeze, the warm caress of the heat as it fed into my dragon. “We’ll be home soon.&rdq
