Mated to Dragons novel

---- carefully. "Mason said that the baby will be born like you. It won't be human." Lucas smiled. "It almost seems like you want to talk me into fucking you until my sperm takes root in your body." Color flooded my cheeks , but no matter how much I tried, I couldn't look away from him. His eyes dropped to my lips and stayed there for a few seconds before they darted back up to mine.

"Despite what Mason said, there's also a possibility that the baby might be born human and only carry some of my genes." He paused. "If that happens ...1 don't want my people to hate my son or daughter because she or he is half human." "Oh" I didn't even think of that being a problem. Hell, I shouldn't even be considering it. Things would never work out. He was the damn King, and I was an unimportant human. A slave he bought because he wanted answers as to howa human got into his realm.

I was just a submissive. "Angel-" "Has anyone else come through the new portal?" I interrupted him as I turned to walk away. ---- Lucas was silent for a few minutes. He fell into step next to me but didn't reach out to touch me again. "No. Why are you expecting someone to come through it?" he asked. "T told you that I stepped into the portal with my friends," I muttered. "I was just wondering if maybe they came through another portal." "Tl let you know if that happens." I doubt he would.

Silence stretched between us. We turned to walk down the next row of flowers, but we made it only a few steps when Lucas gripped my arm and spun me around to face him. "Are you mad at me for what I said?" "No," I told him. "I understand." "Do you?" He ran a hand through his hair as he frowned. "If I wasn't a King..." Shaking his head he turned away from me. "Sometimes I wish I was just a normal man.

That I didn't have so many people depending on me and I didn't always have to overthink things before I made a decision about something." "1'm sure King's sometimes get days off," I said softly. "It might not be much, but you will get a chance to just...relax." ---- "T can't just take off." Lucas turned to look down at me. "Not now anyway. I have a meeting with the lawyers at ten. The papers are ready, and we just need to sign them." "Are you sad?" My eyes darted over his face.

Lucas studied me the same way I studied him. "T honestly don't know how feel," he finally answered me. "We've been married for four years. I...1 guess a part of me loves her but more as a friend. I'm sad to see her leave, but I'm more hurt that she sneaked around behind my back." A humorless laugh fell from his lips. "She accused me of being unfaithful while I have been nothing but faithful. I haven't looked at or touched another woman since while we've been married." I bit my lip.

"You touched me." Taking a step closer, he gripped the back of my neck and pressed his forehead against mine. "I already knew about her affair when I kissed you. I found out about it the day we met at the waterfall." "Oh." "Tm trying very hard to resist the pull I have towards you, little rabbit." "Why?" I breathed. ---- "Because you're-" He broke off and pursed his lips. " Because you're important to my brothers and I don't want to ruin what they have with you." But I'm not important to you.

The thought made me feel sad for some reason. My eyes fluttered closed when he pressed his lips to mine. I forced the thought from my head as I wrapped my arms around his neck. He might not feel anything for me, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from enjoying my time with him. With a low groan, Lucas gripped the back of my thighs and hoisted me up. "T have some time before my first meeting," he muttered between kisses. "Do you have somewhere to be?" I shook my head. "Good," he growled. "You're mine for an hour."
