He took the kiss deeper, stroking possessively against her tongue. No matter how long it took, he’d keep kissing her to please her dragon. And then maybe a wee bit longer for himself.

Chapter Three

Lorna allowed Ross to dominate her mouth for a moment before she pushed back and battled his tongue.

The human sure knew how to kiss. Not that she’d ever tell him. It would go straight to his head.

Her dragon spoke up. Stop thinking and just enjoy it. Our human clearly desires us.

Ignoring her beast’s words about their human, Lorna ran a hand down Ross’s back to his bum cheek. He squeaked a second before growling into her mouth. The vibration sent a thrill through her body, straight between her legs.

Her dragon chimed in again. Yes, yes. I want more.

Not now. Things are complicated.

How? You want him. He clearly wants us. Take him.

Ross broke the kiss to murmur, “Stop thinking so hard, woman.”

“Don’t tell me—”

But Ross interrupted her with another kiss. Both human and dragon halves liked this new side to Ross.

Moving his hands from her face to her back, Ross cupped her rear and rocked her against his erection. Lorna gasped at the contact.

Ross chuckled. “Just wait until you see me in all my glory, lass. Then you really will gasp.”

“I call bullcrap.”

“Oh, aye? Then maybe we should settle this once and for all. It’s a wee bit chilly out, but I’m sure we can find somewhere to put this to rest.”

She tried not to smile. “I’m not about to canoodle in an abandoned cottage, Ross. You might break your hip.”

He nipped her bottom lip. “Cheeky wench.”

Chuckling, Lorna leaned down to lick the skin of his neck. “For that, I should let my dragon out. She’ll demand some gymnastic-level maneuvers and then I can laugh when you do break your hip, old man.”

Ross leaned back until he could meet her gaze. “As much as I want to try that, I think it’s time to show me your dragon form, Lorna. Because there won’t be any more kisses until you do.”

She raised her brows. “I’ve survived years without kisses. I’m not sure if that’s much of a threat.”

Her beast huffed. But I want more kisses. And much more. Let’s just shift and show him. We don’t have to fly.

Lorna hesitated. She hadn’t stood before a male unrelated to her and shifted since her Jamie had passed. The act would almost be a final good-bye. Lorna wasn’t sure if she was ready for that.

Her dragon’s voice was soft when she said, Jamie will always be with us. He would want us to be happy. Ross might finally be able to give us that. Then we’d never be lonely again.

As much as Lorna loved her children and her nephew, there had been many nights when she’d needed the warm embrace and soothing words of a mate. She’d always thought it would never happen, but when Ross kissed her, argued with her, or even teased her, it all just felt… right.

Ross’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “We’re too old to hesitate, my dear. I might keel over in the next minute. So, what’s it to be?”

“You’re not going to keel over anytime soon.”

“Aye? So, you can predict the future now?”

“You’re incorrigible.”

Ross grinned and then winked at her. His dimple came out and weakened her resolve a fraction. He replied, “So, what’s it to be? I know my kisses are pretty spectacular, so I’m leaning toward you shifting.”
