second as the alarm sounded, signaling a Dragon approach. Lena rolled her eyes. They always sounded the alarm, and it never meant anything.
    Devin grabbed her arm, throwing her down on the ground with his body above hers.
    He spoke on his hiss. “Don’t move. They can’t smell us as well as we can scent them. You’ll be able to sniff them out even if I can’t. They also can’t see well in the dark. If you don’t move, they won’t know we’re in here.”
    Lena touched Devin’s face. “It’s okay. It’s nothing. These things sound three times a month. I’m surprised you haven’t noticed them before. Maybe the drugs helped you sleep through them? They’re never anything. The Dragons don’t make it this far inland. Our border patrols either shoot them from the sky or claw them down if they try to pass on the ground. It’s nothing.”
    Devin stayed silent for a moment. “You don’t smell Dragon?”
    “I’ve never scented one so I don’t know exactly what their aroma would be, but
    I don’t smell anything I can’t identify.”
    Finally, Devin nodded and got off her. “I’m sorry I knocked you down. My objective was to protect, not to harm you. I guess I overreacted.”
    “It’s okay, Devin. I don’t wound easily.” He had thrown his body over hers when he had thought danger approached. His instinct to protect her had to mean something.
    “Thank you for trying to shield me.”
    “Maybe you should go home. I’m not right in the head. I know about the alarms. They had them when I was younger, too before I went to war. I just forget things about before.”
    She put her hand in his, wanting desperately to shift but knowing she wouldn’t while Devin couldn’t. “Walk with me?”
    He nodded. They moved through his quiet house together. Finally, they stepped outside where Devin glanced at the sky. “The air feels still to me. I don’t feel the telltale sign of Dragon wings in the air.”
    Lena had never experienced the sensation herself. “Why do you think they didn’t kill you?”
    He stared at her, his face illuminated by the neighboring house lights. “I have no frickin’ idea.”
    They had just about reached her place when Devin stopped. In two strides, he had picked her up and pressed her against the back of a large tree next to her house.
    “I want you again.”
    Lena stopped breathing for a moment. “You do?”
    “Do you desire me, or have I frightened you off?”
    “I’ll always want you, Devin.”
    He said something she couldn’t make out and then he pushed against her, pulling down her pants as he did.
    “Here? Outside? Where anyone can see us?”
    “No one is around, and we’re hidden in the dark of this tree.”
    Lena glanced around frantically. They were hidden; he was correct. But he wanted to do it where they might get caught? She stared at him, enthralled by his sexy gaze as he stared at her. His attention seemed obvious. Devin wanted to eat her alive.
    Did she want to? Yes, she did.
    “Make it fast.” She couldn’t believe her own words as she said them. Was she really telling Devin Owen what to do?
    He grinned and pulled his already erect cock out of his pants. “I’ll see what I can do.”
    The bark of the tree dug into her back. Normally, she would complain, but the slight discomfort seemed to add to the pleasure Devin’s hard member created. “Do you like it a little rough, Lena?”
    She thought she did. She might have even told him so, but she couldn’t communicate more than to moan and gasp.
    “Yes, Devin. Please.”
    He raised an eyebrow. “Please, what?”
    “Please, more.”
    His low laugh sent shivers up her spine. He whispered in her ear. “More what?”
    “More of whatever it is you’re doing, damn you.”
    He crept his hand between them, pinching her clit as he continued to thrust in and out of her. Yes, that was what she’d wanted. Oh gods, yes.
    As she came her ears rang and tears fell from her eyes. Her body had needed connection more than
