Dorran leaned in and pushed me backward onto the oversized chair behind me. “Just peachy,” he whispered, kissing my jaw, he then kissed the mark on my neck. “Are you happy?”

I took a bite over his shoulder, and he laughed.

“Of course, I am.”

He pulled back, his eyes shifting from color to color, his dragon needing out. “You want to go for a ride?” he asked.

“After this burger, I’ll go wherever you want me to, Dragon King.”

Dorran’s handsome face turned serious, he sat back, bent down in front of me, and placed both palms on my thighs. “Where do you want to go?”

I lifted both brows. “I assumed around the kingdom so you could spread your wings.”

“We can go wherever we want, Amara. To another kingdom. We can fly as high as the sky will let us—,”

Sitting my burger aside, I glared at him. “Are you okay? Is there something you need to tell me?”

“No. I just want to make you happy. I want to be alone with you. I want to make sure I’m doing what I can to fulfill every need you have.”

I waggled my brows. “My needs are met almost every night. You could work on those nights you fall asleep on the couch, but I wasn’t going to say anything.”

“I’m serious,” he said in a soft voice.

“Me too. You make me happy Dorran. I don’t need a trip around the moon to feel alive. Are you asking me this because a five-year-old asked me about being human?”

Dorran smiled. “Maybe. I thought it may have dug up feelings from losing your powers.”

I took a bite of my burger, and shoved Dorran back onto the floor, straddling him. “If I hadn’t given my powers Trent would be without a dad. Could you imagine Sasha raising that ball of fire without Toby’s stern hand? He would have already burnt the kingdom down by now.”

Dorran palmed my hips and rubbed circles against my skin. “That’s the truth.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. It’s a past life for me. It was something we needed to defeat the sirens. Something that I rarely think about.”

The thought of my powers had grown distant over the years.

I’d once missed them so badly that I let a few tears fall in the shower. I thought I wasn’t enough without them.

Then I realized that Dorran didn’t care about them and why should I? I was enough without being able to take down a grown dragon.

Dorran could handle the fighting.

I could take care of the needs of the kingdom and be loved by my mate.

Dorran caressed my face with his big fingers. I watched emotion flicker across his face like an old-time slideshow. “You are exactly what this kingdom needed.”

“You’re just horny and think these compliments are going to get you an impromptu session in the playroom. I wouldn’t be able to play with Trent tomorrow knowing what happened on his dinosaur rug the day before—,”

Dorran moved his hips making me laugh. I caught myself on his pecs and stared down at him. “It was worth a shot.”

I went to stand up, but he kept me trapped against his waist. “Suddenly, I’m not in the mood for a flight right now.”

“Yeah? What are you in the mood for? Me?”

Dorran stood up; keeping me wrapped around him and began to carry me toward the stairs. “Are we going home?”

“Yup.”

Dorran burst through the door leading to the bridge. The cool autumn air licked at my skin leaving goosebumps along my skin.

He glanced down at me, as he did every day, and as if I’d never flown with him before. “Hold on tight, Little Mouse. We’re going for a ride.”

I squealed as he nosedived off the bridge, past the no-trespassing sign, and toward the mountain. The humid air caused my hair to twirl around my head and block my vision, but I didn’t need to see because I was safe with Dorran.

As he was safe with me.
