Ever Mine (Dragon Lore) Read Online Free PDF

t-shirt Hope had loaned her was too tight across the chest, showing off quick hints of the soft globes hidden inside. Her body was X-rated and all kinds of dangerous, but it was like the woman glowed from the inside out. Her green eyes sparkled with some kind of inner light, and for the first time, he noticed the faintest smattering of freckles over her cheeks and slightly upturned nose.
    “Okay,” Hope whispered behind him, her voice almost as dazed as he was. “Maybe I believe you. No one who looks like that can be human.”
    He nodded, acknowledging Hope’s comment, but his focus was on the fairy. He told himself to stay away from her, to keep his distance. Instinct overrode every one of the internal commands he was giving his body, and within a second, he closed the distance between himself and Katenia.
    Mine.
    The word echoed through his head, but instead of the warning bells he’d expected to come along with it, all he felt was need and rightness.
    When he stood in front of her, her fingers plucked absently at the hem of the shirt, as if she was trying to stretch it out. “Nathan, I—”
    He swallowed whatever else she was going to say with his mouth. The need to kiss her was so great he didn’t have the strength to deny it. Unlike the urge to devour her that had nearly knocked him unconscious in his car, this wasn’t about lust. This was about need, and something deeper. Something that scared him down to his core, and yet was as right as breathing.
    His perfect, curvy fairy stretched up on her toes and wrapped her arms around his neck, a purr of contentment humming through her when he straightened to his full height, hauling her completely off the ground, his mouth searching and pleading on hers.
    Fucking hell, if he didn’t know any better, he’d swear it felt like he was staking his claim on her. And then, because it sounded like the best idea he’d ever heard, his hand shot into her hair, hauling her even closer as his mouth devoured hers.
     

 
    Chapter 5
     
    This was wrong. The primal need passing from Nathan to her, the primitive urge to sink in and possess him—it was all wrong. Every story the Elders had ever told her always repeated the same theme—humans were selfish, cruel giants who destroyed everything weaker in their path.
    Katenia kissed him, anyway. Afraid if she didn’t, he’d devour her. He’d lifted her off her feet and walked her into the wall.   One large hand gripped her hip as the other held her by the back of the neck, anchoring her as the storm raged between them. She wound her arms around his neck, desperate to feel him everywhere as her new body started to make sense. She fit into him perfectly, and as need flooded her system, all common sense roared past her defenses.
    Unconcerned with nudity, or their audience, Katenia gripped the front of his shirt and yanked, sure if she could get to his skin, this raging desperation would ease.
    “Eww, Uncle Nathan.” Lux giggled from behind him. “You kiss funny.”
    Nathan stilled against her, a thunderstruck look flashing in his eyes. He cleared his throat and dropped his head to her shoulder, dragging in huge gulps of air. “Sorry, Good-Lux Charms.” A low hungry sound vibrated in his chest when he finally lifted his gaze again. “I’m sorry, I don’t know what…” He shook his head, worry in the depths of his eyes. “I’ve never reacted that way before.”
    Katenia’s head canted as she blinked at him. “Primal?”
    He groaned and dropped his head against hers. “Not helping, woman.”
    “I’m a fairy,” she reminded him, confused by his reaction. “Sex is natural, and not something to be ashamed of, or hidden.”
    He groaned, his body going still. “Just stop talking about it, damn it!” He straightened and lowered her to her feet, though his grip remained steady on her hips. “Can you stand?”
    She shook her head no, then answered, “I think so.”
    Humor lit his face suddenly, and he leaned down to
