I’d be the first to admit that things aren’t going…well. But obstacles have never stopped me before. Because this is what I do. I fix things. And to keep my focus primed, I’ve ensured that all distractions are kept to a bare minimum. The clan’s future is at risk. All my attention is dedicated to mitigating that. No matter what.
But therein lies the problem. I feel like I’m losing parts of myself, piece by piece, and when I try to shore it up again, more trickles away. My ‘paste it and hope it sticks’ approach is failing, and it’s downright scary, if I’m being honest.
For the first time in my life, my head’s a mess because of a woman. I have fun with women and make damn sure they have fun too. But that’s all it is. A release. Nothing more. I understand the intricacies of how a mating works. I’m a doctor for gods’ sake. Which is why I’ve gone to great lengths to prevent a mating bond from forming right now. It’s not in the plan. I’ve got no time for that, so I’ve taken the possibility off the table.
But the turmoil inside me tells me that something major is wrong. Why it is that the unease, the struggle, the pain, disappears around her—a reporter of all people—I have no clue. The whole lot of them are the lowest of the low.
Yet she reminds me what it feels like to be truly alive, something I haven’t felt with anyone else I’ve ever been with. She’s got a certain way about her… She’s sassy, beautiful, and doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind. When those emerald-green eyes of hers penetrate mine, I’m speechless, lost. I can only stare, wondering how I’m going to fix this.
And my dragon? My beast is hauling me all over the place, just to be nearer to her. When I am, my heart starts racing, my palms sweat, my thoughts wandering to what I need to do to her.
Rowan… No matter how much I want to deny it, her name on my lips soothes me.
Gods help me. I can’t deny I want more.
I need more.
I’m right on the edge. Fighting a losing battle… And for once in my life, my instincts are telling me to hell with everything else.
