What luck to have this gorgeous woman dropped in his lap in his last days. He wanted to spend some time alone with her. They could stay in his room and whatever came of their time together would be of mutual, adult consent. “I couldn’t possibly impose on you like that.” Iris stared at him, her fingers resting against her throat, her violet eyes wide. The sound of her erratic heartbeat was loud to his sensitive ears. Like other dragons, his hearing was exceptional. “It is no imposition. I have three bedrooms. I could protect you better if you were in my suite.” At least that much wasn’t a lie. It might be a ploy to keep her close, but the truth was the truth. “Are you okay with this?” Tansy stared at her sister, her brow wrinkled. “You don’t have to go with him, you know.” “I know.” Luc found himself holding his breath. Had someone asked him if he missed female companionship just a day ago, he would have answered in the negative.
