“You’ll be repulsed by my weakness eventually,” I whisper.
“I’m not your father,” he growls and it makes me prickle, “or anything like him and just so we’re clear...,” his lip pulls over his teeth in anger, “I don’t care about your power. I care about your passion.”
I give a small pant, staring at him with overt affection. He doesn’t care about my frailty. If I could, I would walk right up to him and plant a big kiss on his mouth. Supremacy itself doesn’t think lowly of me and I feel my confidence grow. It’s been on the bottom for so long, but now it’s swimming toward the surface in a dizzying speed.
Then an alarm bell rings in the back of my head.
Why is he so protective over a girl he just met?
Dragons are only this protective over their...I stop myself right there. I’m not his mate but his reaction was overwhelming. Why does he care so much when I’m not his in that way? I should question it but I don’t, because I’m too worried I’ll break the spell.
I like that he cares.
And that he gets worked up about me.
Touch me.
My body screams for him. I’m hot for him.Willing.
I’ve never been shameless but for this man...I’ll do anything he asks.

The lust is going to drive me halfway to insanity, and I pride myself on being sensible.
Groaning, I turn to my back in bed. Shadows dance across my ceilings and the dragon is infuriated that I didn’t drag Kylie in here and claimed the hell out of her.
She’s in her own room, a couple of doors down the hall. I gave her the best chamber in the manor and I was tempted to ask if she wanted to sleep with me. But she was so quiet after dinner that I decided not to.
It’s better to let her come to me and not push her around. I squeeze my eyes, because remaining patient is rough.
If I listen carefully, I can hear her breaths.
Soft.
Womanly.
She’s so different from me and too small. Her size worries me and I feel blood drain from my face when I think about going too hard on her. It’ll be the dragon’s duty to make sure he controls himself.
He protests, flicking flames at me and I let out a growl.
You have to.
The beast inside reluctantly settles down but I still clench my fists.
Based on what she told me earlier, it seems that she hasn’t always been treated as well as she should have been and now I wish I had found her sooner. I would’ve protected her. Neither women nor men dare to look at me the wrong way. Even if they don’t know I’m the Lake Dragon, they sense there’s something underneath.
Something nobody should mess with.
Unless they want to see their whole world go up in flames.
Monsters like me are respected, through the harshest teacher of them all.Fear.
Kylie doesn’t fear me, though and I wonder if it’s because she on some deeper level can sense we’re made for each other. Gritting my teeth, I groan when remembering the sight of her in my shirt. It swallowed her right up, made her petite size even more obvious, and now I hunger for her so bad that I’m wide awake.
I could go for a swim in the lake. That tends to clear my head, but I don’t want to leave, in case Kylie wakes up and looks for me. A sense of claustrophobia washes over me as if the walls are caving in. I sit up, then punch my pillow when it doesn’t want to stay flat.
