Excerpt:
Flexing his fingers, Aidan yearned to bring some light into the dreary
situation. Rose’s rigid stance against the vehicle spoke volumes. While her
back was turned, he magically brought forth a red rose. Striding across the
muddy terrain, he presented the flower over her shoulder.
Her indrawn breath at his gift resonated within him. “How lovely, Aidan.
I don’t recall seeing any roses on the property.” She grasped the flower, but
winced. “Ouch.”
Stepping around in front of her, Aidan removed the rose from her
delicate fingers and placed it on the roof of the vehicle. Droplets of blood
oozed from the damage done by the thorn. Without thinking of the consequences,
Aidan brought her injured finger to his lips. Instantly, the taste of her blood
ignited a war in his veins. Passion so intense slammed into his body. As he
released her hand, his gaze roamed over her features.
Rose was his land—his home. A part of him fractured with the
realization. When did his world tilt off its axis? There was no firm compass
anymore. No sure direction, save one. Rose.
The roar of desire hummed into his being, and Aidan crushed her to his
chest. His hand took her face and held it gently. He covered her mouth
hungrily, seeking entry into her velvet softness with his tongue. When her moan
slid inside of him, Aidan groaned. Her scent consumed him.
Emotions within him whirled and skidded. Unable to control the flood of
so many, he swayed and broke free from the kiss. These feelings were foreign to
him, but he no longer feared them.
Aidan breathed heavily, keeping her at arm’s length. The sensuous flame
of desire reflected back within her sparkling emerald eyes. “Forgive me?”
“Not for the kiss, Aidan,” her tone low and sultry.
Slowly, he took hold of her hand and kissed her finger, which was now
healed from his touch. “I meant the thorn.”
Her tongue darted out along her bottom lip, enticing him further. “Not
for the thorn, either,” she admitted, plucking the rose off the top of the
vehicle. “Isn’t it time you showed me your other castle, Aidan?”
“Croí Dragon. That is the name
of my keep.”
Rose placed her hand on his chest. “Dragon Heart.”
