In their dreams, they lounged lazily upon the same jutting boulder in the sea where Sai had first introduced his dragon form to Brigid.
He took that form now, while she curled like a kitten against his neck.
“I think you have far exceeded any expectation I had of your stamina, my lord,” she murmured drowsily, eyes closed.
“I have lost count entirely. You have reduced my brain to mush.”
He merely rumbled a purr in answer.
She would realize soon enough that dragon mates would always rise to the occasion, as it were, to fulfill the needs of their one true love. They were built this way.
If Brigid was insatiable for his loving, he would never tire of giving it to her. In any form she wanted. Physical, emotional, spiritual. He would always give her everything she desired.
“Tell me more about the other realm,” she requested sleepily, like a little girl asking for a bedtime story.
She often did. It fascinated her to no end that he had traveled to the future and visited a place called the Celestial Realm. And just as interesting—to a modern New York City.
“What do you wish to know?” he asked, gently nuzzling the top of her head with the softest part of his scaled cheek.
“You reunited with your dragon brother, Ere,” she recalled from their previous conversations.
“And helped with his Mate, Sorin.”
“Only a little,” he said regrettably, huffing out a soft breath.
“I wish I could have done more. I hope my breath, mingled with yours, will help ease his dreams, at least. Apparently, he has been unconscious for some time already. There have been no signs when or if he might awake.”
She mewled in sympathy and stroked his cheek comfortingly.
“What about your other brother?” She scrunched her nose in thought.
“Kai, was it?”
“He was not present at that time and place. But Ere assured me that he is alive and well settled with his own mate in a place called the Yukon. It is where Ere, Benjamin and their extended family make their home as well. Along with human villagers and a large clan of animal spirits, led by a Great White Tiger called Goya.”
“Fascinating,” she breathed.
“I wish I could go with you one day. I would love to meet your family.”
“And I would love for you to meet them,” he agreed.
Often, when he stopped to think about it, he could not believe his good fortune. For so long, thousands of years, he’d been alone. Even when he had his dragon brothers and their clans, he’d been mostly a solitary creature. “Family” was a foreign concept.
Now, because he discovered what love was through Brigid, he suddenly found his Destined Mate, a true family and good friends. It wasn’t that he never had anyone, he realized. It wasn’t that he couldn’t make friends. What changed was his perspective on the people in his life, on the world at large.
Because he loved, helived.
He was silent for some time, thoughtful. She dozed lightly in his arms, intermittently emitting a kittenish snore.
“I think it’s possible,” he said at last, mostly to himself as he turned his own logic this way and that.
“You clearly have the ability to walk between realms—”
“Well, only two realms, as far as we know,” she interjected on a jaw-stretching yawn. “The world of the fae is all one realm divided into different courts.”
“I thought you were asleep,” he said, huffing a breath against her temple.
“I’m always in tune with you,” she replied. “Even when I sleep in my dreams, I feel you. I hear you, my love.”
