“They aren’t human, Clara. Don’t judge them as if they are. This is natural to them, so they can’t help it.”

It was the truth. I could see it in the tortured way Krxare fought the warriors trying to separate them.

“He won’t hurt you. They don’t fight with females. Trust me. It’s the last thing they want to do to us, if you catch my drift.”

Oh, I caught her drift, alright. That feral beast wanted to mount me and fuck me.

Penelope acted first, bravely reaching for the stranger. The moment she touched him, he calmed and his eyes cleared as if finally seeing the world around him. His eyes focused on her, and something in them changed.

“Let me take care of you,” Penelope said fearlessly.

Those were the only words I heard before the huge warrior picked her up and carried her toward the stronghold. Everyone bounced out of their way, giving them ample room to pass.

That left only Krxare. A very angry and snarling Krxare.

I swallowed hard and glanced around. Everyone was waiting for me to act. One of the guys holding Krxare growled as if trying to hold himself back from starting a fight of his own. The warrior next to him tensed.

Shit. We were about to have another problem if I didn’t act now. These rutting Kadrixans were like dominos: set one off, and they all fall down. Every second counted.

I had to do this.

I reached out my hand, unable to dredge up the courage to step in and touch Krxare as I had earlier.“Krxare.”

Krxare changed immediately. His eyes cleared for just a second as he searched for me. Then, the violence and anger boiling in them turned into something else. Lust. Lust for me.

He turned to me and the others let him.

One step.

Two steps.

His next step had him right in front of me and scooping me up into his arms.

“MINE.”

Then, for the first time, I watched as his wings unfurled behind him completely. He was magnificent and terrifying all at once. One moment we were in the valley, and the next, we were airborne.

I gasped and clung to him.

“I will not drop you, little treasure.”

We rose higher in the air with every beat of his powerful wings, then he headed toward one of the tallest peaks.

Oh god!I’d never had a problem with heights, but this was something else. It made the potential fall from the canopy of the trees earlier look like nothing. I squeezed my eyes shut.

“Wrap your arms and legs around me,” he demanded, maneuvering my body easily.

I wrapped my legs around him. My arms were already wrapped so tightly around his neck I wondered if he could even breathe.

“Relax, my mate. I will never drop you. You are mine to protect.”

The position brought back the same sensations as it had earlier when we’d been swinging from tree to tree. Except this time, we rubbed against each other with every wing beat, and his hands were free. I knew this because they were gripping my ass and pressing us together, rolling my hips against his.

“Oh.” The sound escaped from my lips as my entire body lit up with need.

I turned my head, searching for his lips. He tilted his head to meet me halfway, and just as every time before, his touch turned my knees to jelly. Luckily, I was already in the air and had no need to stand.

His forked tongue moved deftly in my mouth, claiming all it touched. Suddenly, all I could think of was what that tongue could do elsewhere.
