had.
Damek moved his hand to cup the back of her neck, his thumb caressing her jaw, then feathering over her pulse. Gently, he tilted her head further to the side and brushed his lips against hers.
“Open your mouth, little one.”
May’s stomach fluttered when she did as he asked. She wasn’t sure what to expect, but she didn’t expect the strange heat that filled her body or the sensations roiling deep in her belly.
His tongue swept into her mouth, tasting her as she, in turn, tasted him. Suddenly, she saw a large dragon, one that looked like those of Chinese legend. He shifted shape to appear like those seen in the movies and shifted shape once again to a man. Damek. He stood tall and proud looking over a huge body of water, his reflection in the smooth, glassy surface.
She saw him tending the Earth, plants, even healing the polluted waters of a time long past. This was the man the fates intended she spend the rest of her life with, and she had nearly rejected him.
Chapter Twelve
Damek slowly released May and straightened in his seat. He stared at her, stunned. It was one thing to suspect this beautiful woman was his mate. It was something else altogether to realize she really was the woman the fates had designed specifically for him.
A lump formed in his throat as he stared at May. He didn’t know what to say, what to tell her to make this discovery easier for her. She must be frightened beyond belief. He knew her dislike of muscular men stemmed from some traumatic experience in her past. He suspected it had to do with the death of her biological parents.
“This changes things.” May sat back, looking stunned as well. “I can’t imagine living my life with another human being.” She paused, then blushed. “Well, I guess you aren’t really human, are you?” she said with a grin.
“No. I am not.” Damek returned her smile with one of his own.
“Do you think I’ve gotten control of my powers now, or should we try that again and see if it makes a difference?”
The little minx was tempting him to kiss her again. Damek merely looked at her and raised a brow. “Are you saying you would like me to kiss you again?”
“No.” She shook her head, then launched herself across the seat and into his lap. “I’m saying that we should kiss each other again and see what happens.”
Her lips covered his in an endearing, clumsy kiss that had his head spinning. She might not know what she was doing, but she made up for it with her enthusiasm. After a few minutes of her kissing him nearly everywhere but his lips, Damek took control. Palming the back of her head, he held her in place while he deepened their kiss.
Damek didn’t know what she saw when she kissed him. The memories he shared with her transferred somehow without his choosing them. He feared that she might see something that he wasn’t particularly proud of. What if she saw him killing in the defense of his people or the Earth?
How many lives did he end because the men were hell-bent on destroying the world? Time after time, he’d managed to end wars that would have irreparably damaged the planet. His stomach clenched at the thought that she could see that and would reject him for it. He had waited millennia, eons, for this woman to come into his life. He couldn’t bear to lose her now.
Cool air rushed over him while he kissed her, his mind now on nothing but the feel of her lush lips pressed against his own. Her upper body pressed tight against his as he held her close. Damek felt her warmth seep into him as she wrapped her arms about his neck, pulling him closer.
“Hey, you guys. Maybe you should get a room.” Waverly’s snarky comment separated them as effectively as a bucket of cold water.
May pulled away, her face red with embarrassment. Damek looked up, giving the driver a look that should have turned him to stone. Instead, the idiot just stood there grinning at them as if he’d discovered some great
