"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future.

(Book 1 of the Mafia standalone series) Jeremy Romano x Rose Callahan "Do you need anything?" I ask, turning to Jeremy even though my voice trembles. Jeremy throws his head back against the cushions and smiles. "Keep speaking," he says, eyes half-lidded but glowing. I blink. "What do you want me to say?" "I'm so happy I was shot" he murmurs, grinning up at the ceiling like a lunatic. My mouth drops open. "If I'd known hearing that gorgeous voice would require a few bullets" he adds, "I would've taken them sooner. Happily." Heat crawls up my neck. "Keep talking, or I'll pass out" he threatens lightly, waving a limp hand in my direction. I roll my eyes, but I can't help smiling. "Jeremy Romano, don't pass out on me." His eyes fly open as if someone electrocuted him. "Say that again" he says, suddenly wide awake. "Don't pass out on me?" I repeat cautiously. "No" he breathes. "The two words before that." I frown. "Jeremy Romano?" His reaction is immediate, his smile brightens until it practically lights the whole room. "Say it again" he whispers. "Jeremy Romano." He lets out a dreamy groan. "I'll die a happy man." I slap his arm. Harder than I should've. He winces and I instantly panic. "I'm so sorry!" "Kiss it. I'll feel better," he says, smirking.

COMPLETED. "This is my land- my country!" Lheane's voice rang out, fierce and unyielding, cutting through the heavy air like a blade drawn in defiance. "And I will do anything to defend it!" Her chest rose and fell with each breath, fire burning behind her eyes as she stood her ground-unshaken, unbowed, even as the weight of the Queen's presence pressed down on her like an unseen force. For a moment, silence stretched between them. Then- A soft, almost amused sound escaped from the Queen's lips. "Defend?" she echoed, her voice smooth, regal... laced with quiet mockery. She took a step forward. Slow. Deliberate. Dangerous. "How?" the Queen continued, her lips curving into a faint, cruel smile. "You cannot even defend yourself." Her words struck deeper than any blade. Each syllable carried a quiet certainty, an unshakable belief that Lheane was already defeated, already beneath her. And yet- She did not move. Did not look away. Because even as doubt threatened to creep in... even as fear coiled tightly in her chest- She refused to break.
