With sirens screaming in the background, Maksim said, “Fire. Check your damn messages for where to go. Crew said he’d texted more than once.”Oops. But a dragon claiming his mate was entitled to leeway.The call ended.

He huffed, sending smoke toward the ceiling like a signal. Then huffed again, taking care that the expelled fire didn’t actually touch anything flammable.He did not want to leave his mate. But if he had to—which he did—at least he had the satisfaction of having her here, wallowing in his bed, surrounded by his scent and the scent of their lovemaking.He returned to the bedroom and was mesmerized by the sight of Saffron standing, stretching, her curves and beautiful body on display. When he returned to the dragon realm, he’d toss a handful of diamonds into the sea’s deep waters as a tribute to the ancestor who’d first managed to acquire a human form.“Was that a callout?”
