Chapter 18 - Taylor

Dragons.

Mates.

What’s next?

Flying pigs?

I shake my head at the insane situation that I find myself in.

Here I am, just a girl, sitting across from a dragon shifter who has just professed his love to me and told me that I am his soulmate.

Usually, a girl would love to hear that the guy she’s had sex with thinks they are meant to be, but I have no clue what I am feeling.

I know without a doubt that I am attracted to TJ. I mean, who wouldn’t be? But does that make me in love with him?

I think back over the past few weeks since we’ve been in contact again.

We butt heads, but we also tend to have a good time together. The sex is mind-blowing, and I hate to admit it, but he does make me feel loved.

I have never been with anyone else or been in love, but I imagine it has to be fierce, like my feelings for TJ.

“How do you know I’m your mate? What makes you so sure?” I ask, needing to know so I can figure out my own feelings.

TJ stares at me for a minute, not saying a word.

Did I break him?

He starts to stand and makes his way to the edge of my bed, “Do you mind if I sit?”

I shake my head no, letting him know that I don’t mind.

“When we were younger, there was always something about you. I cared for you, and it bothered me, so I made mean comments to you, ones I never meant. I know now how my words negatively affected you, and I am sorry for that.”

His apology comes from left field, but it feels good to hear. I open my mouth, unsure of what I am about to say, but he holds up his hand, alerting me that he isn’t finished.

“When you left for D.C., a part of me always felt off. I never figured it had anything to do with you until you returned all those weeks ago. I saw you and my dragon went berserk. He wanted you, and so did I, from the moment you entered Druk Technologies offices. Then we talked and we each gave as good as we got. Every conversation with you thrilled me. I dreamed of you when I slept and thought of you day and night. There is something so enchanting about you, Taylor Montgomery, and I just know that you are it for me. I love you so much, and just want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side. If I have ever been sure of anything, it is that you are my mate.”

My heart stops, and my mouth dries at his words.

They cut me right to the soul as I feel the same.

I wasn’t sure exactly what words could describe how I felt, but hearing TJ lay everything on the table, I know what it is that I’m feeling.

Love.

Love for TJ Rubens.

The man destroyed me as a child but put me together as an adult.

There is just something about TJ that I cannot escape, and I don’t want to escape it. I want to swim in it.

TJ stares at me and I take his hand in mine. “How does one mate, exactly?”

“It is intense and rather hard to explain, but I could show you? If that is something you’d want?”

I nod, “I want to, because I love you too.”
