He said to the angels, “May I introduce my dragonmate, Bethany Aura.”

The leading angel inclined his head, his halo crackling around him. “Dragonmate Bethany Aura, it is our pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

Behind Bethany, in the pond of the fountain, a broad, round head began to breach the surface. Tentacles slithered above the water.

Bethany flicked her fingers.

A chartreuse magpie swooped toward the sea monster’s head and attacked it with its sharp beak and claws, nearly taking out the monster’s eye.

The sea serpent sank below the surface, leaving nary a ripple.

Bethany smiled at the angels. “Charmed.”

Math called the control booth, and the newly cleaned fountain sprang to life, jetting clear, fresh-smelling water into the air. Mist cooled them as the water spouts danced.

Math asked the angels, “Seen enough?”

“Yes,” the head angel enunciated. “We will now look over the financial records.”

That was easier. Math had ferreted out the embezzler, Folant Vishap, who had been the head of the Finance division, and submitted his report to King Llywelyn the day before. Math had written a scathing report naming-and-shaming the culprit and telling the King that he was one hundred percent certain, which he was. He’d filed a complaint to sue the man to return the money and contacted the DA’s office to have him arrested.

Math had left a voice message for the king while Bethany had made like a sea serpent on a fountain fixture, so to speak, trying to get him to crack while he recited the details.

He’d repaid the favor with interest afterward, because the legends about dragons liking to eat fair maidens were absolutely true. He’d used his serpentine tongue on her until she’d cried for mercy, and then he’d taken her bent over a couch until she’d clenched around him, as the mating bond channeled his ecstasy into her body.

Math smiled at the angels. “Right this way.”

When he glanced back at Bethany, she was still holding her position, right up until she bent to wipe some water spots off the side of the retaining wall.

Another sea serpent dared poke its head above the surface.

A gesture from Bethany’s graceful fingers sent her platoon of magpies dive-bombing it until it cowered below as she polished the water spots away.

God, he loved everything about her.

Through their mating bond, he pushed a wave of love and a memory of him lying on his back as she rode him, grinding down on him as she came.

He heard her gasp as he walked behind the angels and, once again, helped them negotiate the revolving door so that their wings wouldn’t get shorn off.
