Mated to Dragons novel

---- Reaching up, I cupped his cheeks and turned his head until his eyes locked with mine. "Lucas-" "T told you that I-" "Lucas," I interrupted softly. "Brian loved you and he regrets not being a better dad to you. He's trying to make it up to you by reaching out and you're pushing him away." I blinked the tears away. "T know that you're hurting but he's hurting too. You need each other to heal. Our baby is going to need his or her grandfather." He swallowed loudly.

"You can do it." His eyes fluttered closed for a few seconds. Letting out a sigh he gave me a stiff nod and then moved away. I watched as he walked over to his dad. The tension in me rose when they silently stared at each other. But then Brian reached out and gripped the back of Lucas's neck to pull him closer. Relief flooded me. "Thank you." I frowned at Mason. "you know, I'm happy your friends forced you to ---- enter that portal." He wrapped an arm around my waist and tugged me closer.

"How long do you think we'll have to stay here? Think we can sneak off without anyone noticing?" "Please," I begged. "I want out of this dress and shoes." He laughed. "You should talk Lucas into changing the dress code." "Oh, I plan to." Mason led the way toward a side door. But just as his hand wrapped around the doorknob to open it, a throat cleared, stopping us in our tracks. I turned to Lucas staring at us with a raised brow and his arms crossed over his chest. "Really Mason?" He growled.

"You know we have plans." "T was just going to help Angel change into something more comfortable." "She can change in the car. Debora already got her clothes. We need to go." Curiosity ate at me, but I kept silent as Nate led the way out of the castle towards two waiting cars. I wasn't sure how they expected me to change in the car when it had been a struggle to get dressed in the first place. But between the four of us, we surprisingly ---- managed.

The only problem was the fact that it left me all hot and bothered by the time we were done. "Where are we going?" None of them answered until the cars stopped and I climbed out of the car. I blinked up at the building. It was smaller than the castle. It looked like a mansion. "Sutton stepped down." "T know." "He agreed to sell me this house." Iblinked at Lucas, waiting for him to continue. "T remembered our talk about the orphanage.

You're going to have to help me because I don't know much about it." "Tm not following." Wrapping an arm around my waist, he pulled me against his body. "JT want to change this house into an orphanage ," he said softly. "A safe place for kids who lost their parents and anyone else who might need it. They will have a home, food on the table, and funds for an education if they want one for as long as they need." I swallowed, fighting and failing to stop the tears ---- from falling.

"I love you." "And I love you." "Now can we get back to the castle?" Mason called. "I would very much love to get back to doing some more celebrating." Nate hit him on the back of the head, but he opened the car door and smiled at us. "He's right. You're queen now. We want to spend time with you before the people hog all your attention." Lucas's lips brushed against my forehead. "Let's go home. We can talk about the plans for the house later. I do feel like celebrating and I know the perfect place we can do it without any interruptions."
