A girlfriend. He was two hundred years old and he had a girlfriend. He chuckled.
What was it like? Feeling weightless. Constantly sexed up. His thoughts focused on Emma like she was the sun and he had to keep her spinning or the universe would explode.
He finally answered Logan’s question. “Like I’m hungover all the time but in a good way.”
“Ah, the beautiful nausea of love.”
Liam paused mid-swallow, then forced the rest of the beer down his throat. Was it love? Was he willing to call his experience with Emma the same as his feelings for his wife? Could he go that far?
He admitted one truth to Logan. “I’m scared shitless.”
Logan’s expression sobered as he shifted his gaze for the hundredth time back to Charlotte. “Aren’t we all, Brother? Aren’t we all?”

Completely naked yet completely distracted by her thoughts, Emma knelt on Liam’s bed. His dark silk sheets were cool beneath her knees.
She was looking at Liam, though not quite seeing him. He was stretched out in front of her, elbow crooked on the pillow, his head supported with his hand.
He was probably smiling, something he did often now.
“I keep wondering why we can’t figure this out.” Her gaze slid to the red crystal flames on the wall behind his bed. “We’re both smart, you’ve been a warrior for eons, I’m trying my best, yet we remain stuck.”
“You know what I’ve been wondering?”
She shifted her gaze back to him. “What?” Maybe he had an idea about how they could improve their battle strategies.
He patted the spot next to him. “I’m wondering why you, and that gorgeous body of yours, aren’t stretched out right here.”
Her breath caught then she released a sigh of relief. “Are you saying I should let our battling tactics go for now?” She grinned.
“Just for a little while. I’m feeling very needy.” He drew the sheet back and revealed that he was in that gorgeous half-erect place of exquisite promise.
She eased herself down next to him and glided her hand over his cock. At the same time, she kissed him, savoring the feel of his lips on hers and the quick emergence of his tongue.
She loved being with Liam, making love with him, feeling his tongue pressed against her lips until she opened for him.
The room heated up and her fire dragon began to race around inside her. For a moment she felt dizzy, even nauseous, but the sensation passed.
It had been two-and-a-half weeks of non-stop lovemaking, morning and night. Sometimes at noon.
Once he’d gone on a run with her then pulled her behind a tall bank of shrubs. She’d given herself easily.
More than once, she’d taken him to her rooms at HQ right in the middle of training. A couple of days ago Jane had almost walked in on them.
Now, as he entered her, she fell into a familiar place of bliss. Nothing had ever felt so wonderful in her life as having Liam inside her, being one with him, loving him.
She no longer wondered what was happening. She was madly in love with her warrior dragon. She respected him as a man and as a warrior, she approved of how he treated all the dragon-riders and he made time for his friends.
Most of all, she loved how he was with her.
When he took her to the pinnacle again, his voice pierced her mind and the most precious words spilled out.I love you, Emma.
With pleasure cascading over her in heavy waves, his words brought tears to her eyes. She met his gaze. “I love you too, Liam, more than I can say.”
Later, when Liam had fallen asleep, she headed to the bathroom. On the way, she felt dizzy again and her stomach churned. What had she eaten that she was feeling this way? Though it wasn’t the first time over the past few days that she’d felt off-kilter.
She drew a few deep breaths and when she felt better, she stepped into the shower, got beneath the spray and savored the hot water.
