His mouth came down on hers, the kiss passionate and full of love. Her arms wound around his neck as he held her firmly. He didn’t end the kiss until both of them were breathing hard.
“You’ve made me so happy,” he said.
She looked at him. “How? How can we do this?”
“We’ll find a way. There’s always a way. Fate wouldna have chosen you as my mate otherwise.”
Tamlyn jerked back. “What?”
“Dragons mate for life,” he explained. “We’re able to sense when we’ve found our mates. You’re mine.”
“But…I’m not a dragon.”
He grinned and gave her a quick kiss. “It’s been a long time since a King has mated with another dragon.”
“You found the dragons now. Wouldn’t it make sense that you would find your mate with them?”
“Do you no’ want me?”
“I didn’t say that,” she argued.
He took a deep breath and released it. “You’re my mate. It’s that simple. The rest…we’ll work it out.”
She hesitated.
“What is it?” he pressed.
“I want to be with you. It’s just that I don’t want to rush into anything.”
He brought her against him, hugging her as he kissed her forehead. “Ah, lass. I’ll no’ push you to do anything you are no’ ready for. This is enough for now. I love you.”
She leaned back to look at him, her heart near to bursting. “And I love you.”
