Page 41 of Never Flirt with a Dragon

“How many people are in your thunder? And living here?”

“About a hundred unmated males living here. More than that in the thunder overall. I don’t know the exact number off the top of my head, but probably around two or three hundred. Our mated pairs live wherever they want, and only fly in when we ask them to. Which we rarely do.”

“So if we seal the bond, we really will be the only mated couple living here?”

“Yes. If any others wanted to stay, they’d be welcome to any of the larger living spaces.”

“Does anyone ever do that?”

“Not since the war ended over a hundred years ago. Before the war, more couples preferred to stay here, so they didn’t have to hide what they were from the humans. Now that supernaturals are safe in your society, we haven’t had any couples choose to live here.”

Huh.

“And humans aren’t allowed, right?”

“No.”

Not even a maybe.

“What if that human was my twin sister?” I prodded.

“Still no. The only way a female gets into Mate Mountain is if she’s attached to a male dragon or being locked in our prison. Brynn’s never even been here.”

I knew that.

I’d just figured it was worth asking anyway.

Jasper started rummaging through my bag, throwing my clothes in the washer and piling the other essentials on top of the dryer. There were a few familiar things—shoes, hair ties, my razor, my makeup—but there was also a bottle of lotion I didn’t recognize, and a set of shampoo and conditioner that weren’t mine.

I started to reach for them, but Jasper stepped between me and the bottles.

I heaved a sigh.

“The only scents I want on your skin are mine and yours,” he said.

“I’ve noticed.”

He finished going through the bag, then pushed the bag itself into the washer.

Great.

I looked back at the toiletries, and realized I was missing something pretty vital. Since Jasper wasn’t really saying much, I unlocked my phone again and texted Elodie instead of asking him about it.

Me

I’m going to need tampons in a few days

Pads too

Elodie

Oh

Your period won’t come

I blinked down at the phone.
