me.
    “Maybe we should begin again. Ginjin, how can I help you?”
    His scowl reminded me of Jake, and I bit down on my lip to keep from smiling. Men. Whatever.
    “I must find a mate. I choose you.”

CHAPTER 4
    The idea of mating with the dragon warrior was repulsive and hilarious. I snorted, and laughter bubbled out, only it didn’t do anything to cool down the situation. In fact, Ginjin turned a light shade of pink, which happened right before he went scaly.
    “This is not a humorous situation. You told me a few weeks ago if I needed anything, you would be there for me. I need a wife.”
    Be nice. I waved a hand toward him. “Well, as romantic as that proposal may be, Ginjin . . .” I paused to collect my thoughts. It was important to get my point across without antagonizing him more. “I’m afraid I can’t help you with that particular problem. Maybe you’ve forgotten that you hate me and have tried to kill me on more than one occasion?”
    I used my fingers to tick off reasons. “We happen to be from different species. We live on different worlds. And I’m not really ready to get married to you or anyone else, even though you’ve asked so nicely.” I tried hard to smile, but I had a feeling it looked more like a grimace. “Oh, and I really don’t like you—at all.”
    I should have left that last part off, but I have this problem with my mouth. Gets me in trouble all the time. I don’t like it when people try to push me around, and I don’t take orders or ultimatums well.
    My sister Gilly was the diplomat of the family. She had a temper but kept it in check. I never seemed to have that talent. I’m also darn good at holding a grudge.
    “You must marry me.” He paced back and forth. “There are no other options.”
    “Once again, very romantic. A girl really enjoys being told she’s the last choice. But I beg to differ on the options. There are thousands of Ahi chicks who would love to be your mate. There are probably a couple flying right outside your door.”
    “You don’t understand. I must have an important wife tomorrow, or I am to be wed to Jene of the Lincsire Lair.”
    I held up two hands. “Wait, all of this is because of some kind of arranged marriage? And what the hell do you mean by important ?”
    He continued to stomp around his living room. The furniture seemed to have been made out of some kind of animal. But it wasn’t scaly, so clearly no dragons had been harmed in the making of it.
    “Maybe you should take me back to the beginning. I gather you’re supposed to marry this Jene because it was determined the day you were born.” To keep the gene pool clean, arranged marriages were the norm here. “You are of age and must take a wife. Right?”
    “Yes. But I have a world to protect, and I can’t do that and be the mate of Jene.”
    “Is she ugly or something?” I didn’t understand. This was the way his society had been for as long as it had existed.
    “No!” He roared again and smoke came out of his mouth. My body temperature dropped in response.
    I held up a hand. “I’m just trying to understand what it is about her you don’t like.”
    “She is a distraction I don’t need right now. Jene is beautiful. I cannot keep up with her . . . demands, and do what must be done to protect Xerxes.”
    I leaned against the large wooden table by the sofa. “What do you mean by demands? And if you mean sexually, I really, really don’t want to know the answer. If she’s halfway intelligent, she must understand your responsibilities.”
    He stared up at the ceiling. “I do not wish to explain to you her demands, but it has nothing to do with sex. But if I marry you, then I will not have to deal with the situation.”
    “You know, if you keep flattering me like this, I might just give in. Ginjin, I’m not some kind of escape clause to get you out of marrying this chick. She’s beautiful; I can tell by the way you talk about her that you respect her. So she’s a little
