Veronica's Dragon (Icehome, #2)

by Ruby Dixon

I spread my arms wide and grin at her, letting her get a fine look at my naked form. "Shall you come claim me for yourself then, pretty one? Shall we battle?"

I feel a sharp pain in my head, like the onset of a migraine. It flashes away as quickly as it appeared, and I wince, rubbing my brow with cold fingers. Ashtar's eyes widen. "Can you hear me?" "Hear what?" He frowns, an absent look on his face. "Nothing. Merely a wish."

"Oh no," I moan. The expression on his face can only be called “utterly delighted.” "Oh yes."

"You do know back on Earth I'm not special to anyone, right?" "Ah, my Veronica," he murmurs, voice low and just a little bit rumbly with the force of his cootie. "You do not have to be special to everyone. Just to me."

"Oh my god, it's Bridget, for the ninetieth time!" "Over here, Bree-shit,"

I worry I should not have taken her from the others after all. I will not admit such a thing, though.

Perhaps that is why the khui gave her to me—I can be the protective, fierce one. She can be the nurturer, the sweetness to my rage. I like this.

"You're the other half of me," I tell her, hands on my hips. "We are a mated pairing. I will die if you die, because I will not want to go on."

"There are things that happen in a drakoni mating that are not…usual." "What, like anal?" I'm not sure I'm down with the brown hole, but I love him so much I'm willing to give it a shot.

sis plz😂✋🏾

Never. As long as there are stars in the sky and fire in my blood, I will be hungry for you.

Best day ever? I tease. No. He looks up at me. That was when I met you. Mine, too.
