over. She would know
everything. There would be no turning back, no forgetting.
It was now or never.
Cora yanked on the door and prepared to face her
destiny.
Chapter Four
Cora stood just outside the door to Stig’s holding cell,
and he vibrated with awareness. It seemed with each
dream rendezvous their connection grew stronger. He had
actually felt her moving through the house, drawing closer
with each step. It terrified him. The last thing he’d ever
wanted was to form such an attachment to her. Cora
couldn’t possibly understand what was happening to her
through the dreams. Honestly, Stig wasn’t quite sure
himself. In the past, he’d shared dreams with other humans
but the connection had never been this strong or vibrant.
How much control did he now have over Cora? While
Stig wouldn’t dare manipulate the growing bond for his
benefit, his inner beast was a different story. Even though
he fought the dragon’s control, the beast coaxed Cora
through the door. Her scent slammed into him, a mixture of
breezy summer scents and the musk of sex. Apparently his
dream self had done quite a job arousing her. Cora’s cries
of ecstasy still rang in his ears.
Though her bare feet touched the cold wet stone with
such softness there was hardly a whisper of sound, the
footsteps echoed like hammer falls in Stig’s dragon ears.
His heart raced with anxiety and fear. Any second now
she’d catch sight of him. Would she scream with
revulsion? Run away in disgust?
A sharp gasp marked her first glimpse. Humiliation
soured his stomach. He kept his gaze locked on the floor.
He couldn’t bear to see the expression of horror surely
fixed on her sweet face.
“Stig?” Cora’s gentle voice seemed so out of place in
the damp, dank cell. She belonged in the beauty of the
sunlight, not hidden here in the darkness.
“Go away.” His words were garbled and thick, his
tongue moving awkwardly in his mouth. He rarely spoke
while in dragon form. “Please.”
“No.” She spoke firmly and took a bold step forward.
“I’m not afraid.”
Her voice never wavered. She meant it. She truly
wasn’t afraid of him.
Stig reluctantly lifted his head and met her curious gaze.
She studied his new form. He could only imagine what a
shock it must have been for her to come down here and
discover a dragon chained to the wall. Cora slowly bent
and put down the flashlight, flicking off the beam before
placing it on the floor. There was no need for the handheld
torch in the lighted cell. The hem of her thin cotton
nightgown bunched around her thighs and revealed a swath
of tantalizing skin.
Lust flared in his lower belly. His groin tightened. Stig
swallowed hard and tried to get a grip. In his mind, he
was all human at the moment. In reality, he was a dragon
with the wings, scales, and talons of a beast. Cora lacked
the ability to shift, so there would be no mating tonight or
any other during his phase.
“You’ve seen what you came to see, Cora. You need to
go back upstairs.” He had to get her out of here. His
control over his baser instincts threatened to break at any
moment. He hoped the chains he’d designed really were as
strong as he’d intended.
Cora shook her head. She guardedly crossed the
distance between them. Her scent and heat filtered through
him in waves. The memory of her taste blossomed on his
tongue, the potent mix of salty and sweet filling him with
the need to lick that delicious pussy again, only for real
this time. He wanted to hear his name spill from her lips
as he sucked and lapped her into climax after climax.

the room, probably calling him a pervert.
“May I touch you?” Before he could say no, Cora
brushed her fingertips over his scaled chest. His breath
seized in his throat. He watched
