I’d cared about him.
Maybe I’d even been falling in love with him.
And he left me without a goodbye.
“He bit you,” Eli pointed out.
My forehead creased.
He gestured to the back of my neck, where August had bitten me the night before.
“His bite gives you his magic for months. It takes ages for the power to work its way out of a human. The scar looks fresh, so he must’ve just bitten you. He wouldn’t have given you more of his magic if he wasn’t planning on coming back. Surviving the prison would be hell at full strength—it’ll be worse with part of his power embedded in your veins.”
My forehead creased further.
I didn’t have an argument for that.
He had spoken like he wasn’t leaving me the night before.
“I’m not saying this happened, but if a dragon were to bite a human twice in one night, what would it do?” I asked.
Eli frowned. “Twice?”
“I didn’t say it happened,” I said quickly.
His frown deepened. “I don’t know. It might give you more of his magic, or make that power remain longer. Or it might not do anything outside of pleasure. Biting is supposed to be enjoyable.”
Oh, it was.
My face warmed at the reminder of the way he’d bitten me while he fucked me from behind.
His hands on my breasts.
On my ass.
On my clit.
“You reek of him,” Eli said, his nose wrinkling. “Whatever you’re doing to make the smell worse, stop.”
I hadn’t showered yet.
And I didn’t know if I wanted to. Not when it would take his scent off my skin.
Was the lust in my memories making me smell more like him?
I lifted his shirt to my nose and inhaled.
My body relaxed immediately as I breathed in his scent.
He smelled so good.
Would I ever be able to let him go, even if he really had walked away for good?

I forced myself to pick up my donut again. My hand still trembled a little.
