“No.ButI’veread about it.”

This was huge.
Gods.
The fact she was there, asleep, instead of gone, likeIthought, made me have to think about it.
I’d seen his creature.Hisbeast.
His dragon.

And so, so handsome.
But she…
“He is just as clicked into her asIam to you,Laura,”Alekseisaid. “I’llfind her beautiful, because she’s his mate.”
I knew that.
I knew it.
But…
I fiddled with my roll.
“Show me,bissi,” he urged.

Shewasbeautiful.
I slid off my stool, went to my bag and got myPalm.
Head bent to it, heart hammering,Idug out the pic folder and found a pic of her.
Seeing it, my stomach rolled over, because…yes.
She was beautiful,Imissed her so dang bad, andIcouldn’t wait to have her back.
I slid back on my stool and handed him myPalm.
He took it, his gorgeous eyes already cast down, like he couldn’t wait to see.
I watched.
His eyes widened.
I braced.
