In all, she looked like a well-fucked, well-pleased woman.

Hiswoman.

“You’re a dragon,” she noted with awe at last.

“Aye,” he admitted in a deep rumbling purr.

Her lips quirked in a delighted smile.

“You’re a magnificent dragon.”

He lowered his lids to half mast, feeling a bit shy.

“I am glad you approve.”

Only when he said this did the thought occur to him that he never worried, not even when he first transformed that stormy night, that Heba would find his beast form repulsive. Though their time together before the long separation had been brief, he knew without a doubt that she loved him as he loved her.

He felt it to the depths of his soul.

Her love was unconditional. It didn’t matter his form, what he was, where he was. There would only ever be Shai for Heba and Heba for Shai.

“I almost want you to transform here and now so I can take a few hours to admire you,” she said huskily, wriggling on top of him as if excited by the very idea.

“But I am sex starved, love starved, and I need the man more than the dragon at least until another dawn.”

She undulated her hips subtly against him, sucking rhythmically on his sore yet undying erection with her core.

Shai groaned low. He might not survive to another dawn if she kept this up. But, oh, what a glorious way to go.

After she took her pleasure from his body with a muted but prolonged climax, she sighed with repletion and lay fully on top of him, tucking her face into the crook of his neck, their hearts beating as one.

“Tell me about your experiences while we were apart,” she demanded softly.

He did.

He left out the anguish and torment he suffered and stuck only to basic descriptions, but he could feel her heart hurting for him, for now that they were trulyone, his own heart hurt when hers did.

“I want to storm the Celestial Palace and give the Jade Emperor a piece of my mind,” Heba seethed.

“I appreciate the sentiment,” Shai murmured, “but he is not a god to recklessly anger.”

“I know this. But he cannot continue to get away with using and imprisoning dragons like this. It’s not right,” she said stoutly.

“I believe he is the god of dragons,” Shai shared. “Even though the fairies in the Celestial Realm told me that the Twin Goddesses created three earth-born dragons tens of millennia ago. They didn’t provide much more information, but I can infer that this act of creation was against the rules. Dragons are not meant to exist on earth. The Twins have apparently broken many rules.”

“I have never heard of the Twin Goddesses,” Heba mused. “However, there are many twin gods in different mythologies. In my people’s belief, Nut and Geb, the god of earth and the god of sky, are twins and co-created civilization. Isis and Osiris are twins and husband and wife.”

“They are known as the Pure and the Dark Goddesses,” Shai explained.

“I do not know of them myself, except for the few crumbs I picked up from the fairies. It seems that either they no longer exist, and were extinguished in shame, or they have been banished from Heaven and are punished for all their rule-breaking. Their creation of the earth-born dragons supposedly upset the Universal Balance.”

She hugged him tighter and nuzzled his jaw.

“You are earth-bound now, are you not? Is it not permitted for you to be here? In the mortal world?”

“I do not suppose so,” he answered gravely. But added in a nonnegotiable tone—

“Who is to say what is permitted or not? Who can determine our right to exist how we choose? However we have been created, we are breathing, feeling beings. As such, we have our own Destiny to fulfill.”
