Eli

Dragons can’t shift without their mates after they’re bonded

Which is why we avoid human women

Me

You were flirting up a storm a few hours ago

Eli

For a reason

Me

What was the reason?

Eli

Let me share your bed and I’ll tell you

Me

No

Eli

K

I didn’t reply for a few minutes.

He didn’t either.

I was really sweaty. And my body hurt.

But I was stubborn enough that I wasn’t giving in.

Not quite stubborn enough to stop myself from texting him again, though.

Me

Elodie said something about fertility

Eli

I’d rather have this conversation in person

Me

I’d rather not be in this situation at all right now

He sent me a gif of someone sighing.

I sent one back of someone waiting impatiently.

Eli

You won’t have periods anymore. Only time you can get pregnant is during heat. And birth control prevents pregnancy, as you know. Nothing to worry about there since you said you have an IUD
