“Don’t do whatever it is that he wants, Nora. Do you…” she cried out but was cut off as the dragon backhanded her, before replacing her gag.

“Do that again, you bastard, and I’ll remove your hand,” Nora snarled. The voice had been unmistakably Nora’s, but it had sounded nothing like her.

Fallon had been untied and taken to a large bedroom with an ensuite bath. It would have been nice had it not been for the locks on the windows and doors. She’d finally fallen asleep. No doubt they’d put something in her food or drink. She’d thought about that when they’d brought it, but she was hungry, thirsty and needed to rest.

She woke with a start, barely managing to stifle a scream. An enormous man sat on the footboard of the elaborately carved bed. His eyes seemed to glow with some kind of ethereal glow for just a moment before it faded away. A trick of the light perhaps.

“Who the hell are you?” she hissed, throwing a pillow at him. She knew it was ineffective, but it made her feel better to do something, and she supposed he got the idea.

Fallon glanced toward the window. It was closed, but she could feel the cold breeze from the balcony. She’d thought the lock on the balcony door was redundant, as the balcony overhung a cliff with a perilous drop to the jagged rocks below.

All in all, she’d never been so glad to see anyone in her entire life. If he’d gotten in here, he had to have a way to get them out. He might be her only chance at getting out of this alive.

She looked at him more closely and realized he was the same man who had haunted her dreams and fueled her most erotic fantasies for the past few years. Was he even real? Was she asleep and in desperation, she had conjured her own romantic hero to save her? He was certainly the embodiment of everything from which storybook heroes were made.

Fallon rolled up and onto her knees, only realizing after he’d had a long appraising look that she was naked. She snatched up the silk sheet to cover herself.

He snatched it back. “I don’t think so, Princess. You and I have a date with destiny, and it’s time for us to go.” He hopped off the bed frame, his deep voice reminding her of a growl covered in dark chocolate.

Before she could speak or ask further questions, the stranger hauled her up against his muscular body and looked down at her from his great height. She thought he might lean down to kiss her. He didn’t. Instead, he gagged her—why anybody thought that was sexy Fallon would never know—and tossed her over his shoulder as if her weight was nothing. His hand came up and smacked her backside once, making it sting before he settled it there.

“Let me be clear. In another time and in another place, I’d have you on your belly, and I’d fuck you until you were spent and sated. Then I’d take you home and rut with you until you couldn’t walk. But that particular pleasure will have to wait. Before I can settle myself between your thighs, I need to get us out of here.”
