SERPENTUS MARINUS FELLACIO

After their mating, Bethany and Math had stayed in the penthouse suite for a week, making sure that sex after mating was every bit as good as sex during mating.

And it was. It really was. The magical bond between them fed back their sensations until both of them were overwhelmed, every time.

They’d slept a lot, too, absolutely exhausted, flopped over each other’s naked bodies.

They’d also ordered room service five times a day and again for a midnight snack.

Bethany seriously could not eat enough, and she had lost three pounds. Her slacks had loosened around her waist, but her bra seemed oddly tight.

When she’d been getting out of the shower the day before, while Math was still in there washing himself off a second time, a full-length mirror had captured her reflection.

Her waist was nipped in, and her breasts had become fuller.

Somehow, straight-stick, floppy Bethany had grown a slim, hourglass figure.

She could even see the taut lines of toned yoga-tummy muscles on her lower belly.

This dragonmate thing had its benefits.

Even beyond having an insatiable, ravenous dragon for a mate.

And he had a dragon metabolism, too.

But after a week of isolation, Math had checked his email and found a list of increasingly panic-stricken messages from Smedley the HR Squid and the people at Dragons Den, Inc. He’d groused, but they’d left the penthouse the next morning to try to deal with the chaos and the impending visit from the angel investors.

The ballroom still needed a lot of work, and Bethany summoned the meerkats, whom she suspected were snickering at her behind their crayon-colored paws.

Which brought them to this moment and Bethany trying like heck to whip the ballroom into shape while they both procrastinated dealing with the slimefest full of sea monsters at the casino’s entrance.

She performed one last incantation maneuver, a sweeping magical movement ending on her tiptoes with both her arms in an upward stretch, to direct her apparitions who were putting the final touches on the space.

Power rushed through her bones,so much power.

Her apparitions—now a troupe of fifty candy-colored gorillas—were marching tables and chairs through the two sets of double doors at the far end and positioning them under the glowing chandeliers. The spirit manifestations were so much bigger than before, and so many more of them had popped into corporeal being than had ever answered her previous calls. Twenty new spirits had swung over to take a look at her and perform the ritual greeting ceremony.

That wasodd.

Andawesome.

She felt like a real witch and everything.

“We have to look at that dang thing sometime,” Math said to her.

“No, we don’t.”

“Unfortunately, we do.” He was sitting at one of the tables, typing furiously on his laptop, and he looked funny to her because he was wearing clothes. She’d gotten used to running her eyes, fingers, and tongue over any part of him she wanted to, and he’d evidently become accustomed to the same with her. “We can’t avoid it forever.”

“Yeah,” Bethany said, cringing inside.

“They’re going to be here in two days.”

“Yeah,”Bethany said, cringing harder.

He laughed. “I felt that. It’ll be okay. We’ll figure something out. If we need to, I can hire someone to cast a glamour over the whole thing and make it disappear.”

“Angels can see through glamours,” she fretted.
