"Because it's either help me get what I want or I take my chances with the King and take you back to him as promised. Which would you prefer?"

Ismiled at her ramrod stiff back as she stomped towards the village.

It had been hours since I’d told her the truth of her situation and we’d left our makeshift camp in search of the village I'd scouted from above.

And I could still feel the anger she’d shot in my direction at my words.

I’d felt a minute pang of regret when I’d said them, and that annoyed me. Future kings could not afford to be indecisive or regretful. Hell, warriors on a mission couldn't either, and right now I was both. The words I'd spoken, however, were still my truth, but there was knowing what I had to do versus what I really wanted.

And want was a fickle beast who couldn't be trusted.

Did I want the amulet? Hell yeah I did, and I still planned to stop at nothing to get it. But there was a major part of me that wanted her too. And while I refused to be a slave to mating heat, I didn’t see the desire for her going away anytime soon.

Her potential omega status, however, left me perplexed. First, the witch my parents had tried to marry me to had turned out to be an omega and had ended up mated to my twin. And now a fae Princess? What the hell was fate up to and was she trying to play some kind of sick joke on our family?

Ian had ended up separated from his mate, and if this little beast was supposed to be mine, then we were going to have a real problem when it came time to go back home.

A more unlikely omega I couldn’t imagine.

She seemed too tiny to be a suitable mate for a dragon, let alone able to birth the many dragonlings it would take to carry on our family line.

I stared at her backside and my imagination took off at high speed. It was all but impossible not to think about how good and tight she would feel on my cock. I bit back a groan as the front of my trousers grew tight once again.

I had to stop thinking about her like that or we weren't going to make it to our destination without me pinning her to a tree and burying myself inside her.

I was so lost in thought, I didn't realize she'd stopped walking until I crashed into her back. She fell forward, and I had to lunge to catch her before she hit the forest floor face first.

I yanked her a little harder than I meant to and she cried out. "Fuck. I'm sorry. I didn't want you to fall," I said, righting her back onto her feet and rubbing her arm and shoulder that I had pulled a little too hard.

"I wouldn't fall if you'd watch where you're going and not try to plow over me."

"I was distracted."

"By what?" she demanded, glaring up at me once again. Apparently, this was going to be her new look for me. Sour and sassy were quite the combo when it came to this little beast of a fae.

I had half a mind to kiss her until she melted against me and forgot about my getting on her nerves. And no way in hell would I answer that loaded question. She did not need to know the dirty thoughts racing through my mind. Nor the many things I wanted to do to her. The time still wasn't right.

“Thinking we should have questioned that little sprite before she ran off. I heard what she said to you about finding the amulet. If she knows something, that’s where we should have started.”

She made another sour face at me, pursing her lips. “Then maybe you shouldn’t have thrown her in the fire.”

I grumbled under my breath. “Maybe.” And maybe I should have done a better job torturing her for information. The little pest.

“She’ll probably come back.” My little beast made a show of brushing thedebris off of her skirt, which in turn made her little tits jiggle and draw my eye.

I couldn’t wait to peel that leather bound dress off of her and… I forced my eyes back to her face and the conversation when her words finally sank in.

“What makes you say that?”

“She was way too curious about me and my situation. Call it a hunch, but something tells me she isn’t done with me.”

“Let’s just hope her intentions don’t cause us any trouble. We need to stay low and not let the King get word that I've captured you already.”

She laughed and the melody of it went straight to my dick. I shook my head. If I didn’t get this shit out of my system, we were going to have problems. And the last thing we needed was anyone sneaking up on us because I can’t stop thinking about her sweet smelling pussy and how much I wanted to taste it.
