Drowsily, I opened my eyes, shifted in the seat, stretched slightly. There was no moment of panic or disorientation. I knew exactly where I was. The uncertainly came when I turned and found Jax, kneeling in the middle of the room, fancy camera pointed directly at me. “Sorry.” Smiling sheepishly when he saw that I was awake, Jax lowered the camera. “I won’t show them to anyone but you, if you don’t want.” “It’s okay.” I wasn’t sure what I wanted, other than him. My hormones must have had a nice nap, because all they could think was that it would be so easy to lean over and kiss him. If I didn’t currently have dragon breath, that is. His next words blew me away. “You just looked so beautiful, with the afternoon light catching on your hair. Like an angel. I had to capture it.” Blinking, I sat up straight, sure that he was joking, but his expression was dead serious. I was pretty sure that I wasn’t imagining the interest in his eyes, either. My pulse picked up its pace, pounding in the veins in my wrists, at the base of my throat.
