how best I can serve you.”
    Luckily
the natural acoustics in the cavern aided me and carried my voice to
each corner of the room. As I finished speaking all the dragon riders
cheered and a huge roar was taken up by the dragons making me blush
with pleasure.
    On
one side of the cavern there was a dining area resplendent with
Gothic chandeliers and velvet drapes. At the head of the table there
were two throne like chairs with benches running either side of a
huge wooden table. The table was set with roasted meat, vegetables
and flagons of drinks. I lived in hope that at least one of them
contained red wine.
    Patros
held out his arm which I accepted with a huge grin as he led me to
the chairs. He inclined his head and I took my place turned and
waited for everyone to be seated.
    Once
again the wrong thing to do as Patros then sent to me No
one will sit before you do.
    I
sat down abruptly causing more than a few of the riders to chuckle.
As they realised I had been prompted to sit by Patros.
    As
I sampled some of the various meats and vegetables on offer one of
the riders offered me some wine. I was just about to accept when
Patros leaned over and shook his head. Patros asked for the other
flagon that was set close by which I just assumed it was a slightly
different wine. The look Patros gave me was unreadable but the
thought he sent me next made me more than a little mad.
    You
will not be having wine tonight Alex or for the foreseeable future
until our child is born. I believe it is not recommended in pregnancy
on your world either.
    How
quickly I had forgotten the fact that I was now pregnant but I didn't
think one teeny weeny glass of …...
    Patros
chose that exact moment to interrupt my pondering by adding out loud“
Our child is too important to everyone here, to risk any problems.
Isn't it Alex?”
    I
inclined my head and gave a slight nod. Understanding that I wouldn't
be drinking any wine tonight. Patros then added a little sweetener by
adding “Maybe.....I can make it up to you when we return to the
lair.” at which point he touched my hand and a huge jolt shot
through me and sparks flew making me smile.
    All
present laughed loudly. They obviously had an inkling what the sparks
meant. Perhaps everyone produces sparks when they touch?
    He
continued to hold my hand throughout the dinner making me more than a
little hot under the collar as I smiled and thought to myself.
    I
think I am turning into a nymphomaniac. At
this Patros squeezed my hand and grinned broadly.
    The
dinner seemed to go on for hours and I was introduced to a numerous
dragon riders. So many that I simply couldn't begin to remember all
their names. All of the dragons had headed off earlier to hunt for
their own dinner. Finally everyone began to drift off to their
respective quarters. It had been a long day and after the excitement
of the last few days I was exhausted.
    Was
it only three days ago that I was first kidnapped and brought to this
world? So much had happened in such a short time, it was unreal .
    Patros
must have been following my thoughts as he once again gave my hand a
squeeze and said out loud “I think it's time for us both to
leave. Please enjoy the rest of your evening. I know you are all
aware that the mating was successful and our Queen requires her
rest.”
    A
small cheer rose amongst the remaining groups and they rose as one
bowing their heads as we stood. We departed the hall as once again I
blushed at Patros's comments. As soon as we were out of sight of the
hall Patros spun me around and gave me a huge kiss full on the lips.
My heart leapt and he told me how proud he was of me and apologised
for forbidding me the wine. Which made me feel selfish for wanting it
in the first place. Sweeping me up in his arms as he carried me back
to our lair.
    Once
inside Patros set me on my feet and I headed for a shower. After I
stood in the bathroom a few minutes flustered. I realised that the
only clothing I possessed was what I had worn
