Samantha:Forgot about that strong dragon nose.
My lips form a smile as I read her text. Samantha learned of our true forms after Trevor’s death when we thought Axil might spend the rest of his days behind bars. Other than Ryan, Harper’s nurse, who delivered Harper and Luka’s two children, she is the only human who knows the truth––well, the only one who is not mated to any of us.
But sheisour mate,my draxilio purrs.Stop lying to yourself.
I am doing no such thing,I send back to him.
It has been frustrating dealing with his infatuation with her. The part of me that can shift into a winged fire-breathing monster was certain the first time we laid eyes on her that she was our mate. That was over an entire Earth year ago, and he will not relent.
While I am deeply, intensely attracted to Samantha in a purely physical sense, she is not my mate. I do not wish for any mate, in fact. Someday, I’m sure that will change, but I enjoy my life posing as a single human male who runs the local library––despite the financial difficulties I often face maintaining my place of business.
Human females seem to find me pleasing to look at when I’m in my flightless form, masking my horns and blue skin. This pasty version of me with my sweater vests and spectacles, paired with the fact that I am almost always holding a book seems to align with what many females are looking for in a sex partner.
I do not want that to change. My draxilio can have his little crush on Samantha, but it will not derail my plans to remain free of emotional entanglements.
There is also the fact that Samantha is close friends with Vanessa, my brother Axil’s mate. If I were to pursue a romantic relationship with her, my draxilio would be pleased, certainly, but if she chose to leave me, I’m not sure he could handle losing her. If it were to end badly, no matter the reason, life for my brother and new sister-in-law would be difficult, and they deserve nothing but happiness.
My brothers and I are fortunate that Luka was able to use his hypnotic power on Officer Burton to get him to drop the murder charges against Axil, but that does not mean we are highly regarded by Sudbury’s top policeman. He has made comments since then about how he does not trust us, and whenever one of us passes him in town, he eyes us warily as if we are violent criminals he is eager to bust.
If he were to discover what we truly are, our lives would be over.
It’s easier for everyone involved if Samantha and I remain friends and nothing more.
Samantha:I thought you liked my perfume…
Then she sends me one of the happy, floating yellow heads––this one with a wink––and blood rushes to the head of my cock.
Is sheflirtingwith me?
Me:You know I do. I would not have run my tongue over every inch of your skin if I did not.
I can see her now, her blunt teeth sinking into her lower lip as her thick thighs press together. If this is a fluster battle, I hope Samantha is prepared to lose because I have become an excellent flirt since I first arrived on Earth.
The three dots appear, then disappear almost as quickly.
Me:Don’t tell me you have forgotten. I haven’t.
Samantha:I’ve tried forgetting…but I fail every time.
She is goading me now. I know she’s remembering our night together, just as I am. The way our bodies found each other on the dance floor, and the visceral hunger that ripped through me the moment she placed her small hand in mine. It was a hunger that could not be sated with our first dance, or our second, and not even when we left the dance hall, and she begged me to take her against the wall of the shabby motel room we rented nearby.
Over and over that night, I drove into her welcoming body, hoping that by morning, my draxilio would be satisfied enough to let her go.
He wasn’t, and he still yearns for her touch to this very day.
I begin typing a response that I’m certain will cause her belly to flip, but she beats me to it.
Samantha:Do you have plans tonight?
Suddenly, it is my stomach that is doing the flipping.
Samantha:Wanna meet up?
Me:No plans. Come over.
Even if I did have plans, they would be canceled immediately.
Samantha:I’ll walk over once my mom is asleep. Should be in an hour.
