She looked at the man, the one that she nursed back to health, the one who had seen struggle after struggle, time and time again. He seemed so natural, and the confession felt so real. She was happy to see his eyes widen with every single word, the way he seemed almost determined to say that.
“I guess that makes two of us. I love you too,” she said.
“Good. Because honestly, if I heard that you didn’t, I’d be pretty upset. I mean, I know I shouldn’t hold out too much, especially with how people are, but I always saw you as someone I admired Kayley. Even in high school you were perfect to talk to. We always had the best conversations,” he said.
“We sure did,” she told him.
“Yeah, and I want to have more conversations like that with you. I actually got a job working in the technology department at the military base. I don’t have to see combat, and it’s what I went to school for. And now that I have you, I feel like I’m finally getting a jumpstart on life,” he said.
The way he said those words, the way they seemed to naturally come off his tongue, made her heart flutter. She saw that he was serious too, which made her smile.
“That makes two of us. We’re both doing what we love, and we both love each other,” she said.
“Yeah. I’m not letting this get away. Not after all this time,” he said.
“I’m not either,” she replied.
Before she knew it, he pushed her down on the bed, the strength that he was missing before finally back. It was strange to not see him with the boot on his leg, or even a small hobble. But it was obvious that it was a sign of progress, a sign that he wasn’t hurt anymore.
“I love you Kayley.”
“I love you too Norman. Always and forever”
Before she could say much else, he pressed his lips hard to her own, kissing them with a pleasuring feeling that made her smile. For some, this might be considered a fairy tale ending, but for her, she began to wonder if this was the beginning of it all. Soon, his hands moved up to where her hips were, touching them there. It was weird to be in a pair of slacks and a shirt, not her uniform of choice, but as she kissed him, as the two of them stayed like that, she knew this was exactly where she wanted to be, with the man of her dreams, with the life she desired.
Chapter 8
For a long time, neither of them moved, kissing one another with a passionate feeling that both of them seemed to yearn for in one another. For Kayley, she was on cloud nine kissing this man, realizing that he was the one for her. He did the same, his eyes closing and his heart racing with every single touch and every single caress. He wanted to hold her like this for a long time. His injuries prevented this, but now that he was all healed up, he was going to make up for lost time.
He let his tongue press against her lips, and she quickly let him in, kissing and caressing his own, loving lips with her own passionate lips that seemed to know no bounds. Both of them moaned against one another, the teasing that they felt against their bodies so obvious that it made her want nothing more than for this to continue. For him, he started to let his tongue move and tease against her own, and she did the same thing. Both of them were lost in the feelings of one another, a feeling of passion and pleasure that seemed to eat both of them.
He began to let his tongue slide and tease against her own lips, and soon she mingled it with his own. She loved the way that he moaned against her lips, and the feeling of his body relaxing against her own was divine.
He slipped away, pressing little kisses down her neck. These small, sensual touches were almost too much for her, and as he pressed his lips gently there, she let out a small groan of excitement and need. He smiled, seeing how turned on she was from this, and soon, he started to move against there a bit more, biting down against the flesh and leaving a mark. He did so with the softest of bites, making sure to leave a mark she’d remember, but not anything too major.
It was then when he got to her breasts. He moved his lips to her collarbone, giving small, succulent kisses there as well, but his hands were already at her blouse, undoing the buttons and then slipping it off of her. She let out a small cry of shock as she felt the cold air hit there, but then, with a fury of excitement, he undid the clasp on the bra as well, allowing the garment to tumble down.
She felt slightly exposed, especially since it had been a while since they did this, but she did enjoy it. He began to move his lips down, immediately letting his tongue roam against the puckered edge of her breast. It was different from the last time, since he could only use his hands for the most part. However, this time around, he was able to use his lips, and after he teased the tip of her nipple with a small flick of his tongue, causing a moan of arousal to emit from her, he began to move his hands over to the other one, letting one of them rest at her hip, while the other was against her nipple, rubbing his palm against there. She let out a small series of satisfied cries, and he enjoyed hearing them.
Hearing the sounds that she made set him off. He missed them, and the fact that they could be together forever was enough for him. He felt like he finally achieved the goal he had, and with every single motion, every single touch, and even every single moment in time, he felt like he was at the top of the world, that he was definitely doing exactly what it was that she liked. He loved hearing the satisfied cries that she uttered, the way that she seemed to completely move against him, the excitement that seemed to only grow with every passing moment in time. He started to suck on her breasts slightly harder as well, causing her to let out a low, guttural sound as he did that along with pinching them. The cries that she made were delightful, and hearing her do so was almost heavenly to him. He could probably get off to those sounds, and those sounds alone.
As he continued to tease her, he began to feel her hands move over to where his pants were, touching there. He looked up, surprised by her actions and how upfront she was about it. It was then when she smiled.
“I want to give you a present. My thanks for coming back into my life,” she told him.
He looked at her with slight confusion, but then, before she knew it, she had his pants down, sliding his boxers off as well.
He was surprised, but then, she moved her hand against it, touching it slightly. It trembled in her hand, and she smiled in response.
“You’re so excited. I am too,” she said. She really was excited, especially with the way he looked at her as he was underneath her once again. He groaned, sitting up against the bed as she lightly tugged at his member, jerking it slightly before she then pulled back, moving her lips until she was right up against where the head of his cock was. She smirked, an impish grin that said it all, and soon, she pushed his member into her mouth, taking the tip in. He moaned, groaning out loud and in pleasure with everything that was going on. It was so magical, almost like a totally different sensation for him. She began to smile as she took more and more of him into her mouth, getting about halfway down before she took her hands and started to pump him in tandem with the movement of her lips. It was obvious that he was so close he couldn’t really take much, but she did love the sounds that he made as she did this.
For Norman, he did forget how good this was. For him, this was something almost magical, and when she pushed her lips further and further down, he had to grip the sheets. He bit his lip, trying to feel pain so that he didn’t cum right away.
“Fuck,” he simply said, enjoying the feeling of her tight lips as she continued to move further and further down. She smiled in enjoyment, loving the way that he sounded in response to her actions. However, she could see that he was so close already, so she pulled away, giving him a small grin of excitement.
“You liked that didn’t you?” she said.
“Yes. I forgot how amazing you truly are,” he told her.
She blushed, shocked that he was still able to form coherent sentences, but not before he pushed her down, taking his pants all the way off and pulling his shirt off in the process. She ogled his naked body, happy that nobody was aro
und to hear the small gasp her mouth uttered. She didn’t get a chance to see him in all of his glory when they first did it, but now that she did, she couldn’t believe how hot he was.
He pulled off her pants and panties without any second thoughts, enjoying the naked womanhood in front of him. He started to spread her apart, pushing himself into her hard, and soon, she gripped his shoulders, holding him there as she started to feel him penetrate her. She pulled her legs against his back, holding him there as he continued to thrust more and more, getting deeper and deeper into her with each motion.
She loved this. She tried to keep quiet, biting her lip and letting out little whines of pleasure. She was happy she did put that fan on in the room before she spoke. He was ravaging her, getting as deep as he could, and with each and every thrust, she felt as if she was in heaven. He started to increase the pace, wasting no time as he got deeper into her aching pussy. Her body seemed completely complacent to his actions, her hips moving at the same pace as his own, and before she knew it, he angled himself up, pushing his cock right over her g-spot, causing her to cry out with need and pleasure each and every time.
Sure enough, she knew she wouldn’t be able to last. After a few more thrust, she began to cry out, tensing up with aching need as she felt her eyes widen, her back arch, and the sudden force of her orgasm as it completely decimated her body, making her feel nothing more than the sheer pleasure of it. It was heaven, pure and utter heaven, and before she knew it, she felt Norman push himself inside of her once more, pushing his cock deep before he let out a low groan, tensing up as he spilled himself into her.
It was an amazing feeling, being inside her tight hole and cumming hard against her body. He felt like he had won the lottery, that this was the prize that he always wanted. before he could think straight, she then pulled back, looking at him with a smile. The two of them collapsed onto the bed together, their breathing growing softer and softer with time.
“Fuck,” he said to her.
“Yeah. You said it,” she replied.
“I can’t believe this was even happening,” he said to her.
“Yeah. It feels almost like a dream,” she told him.
They looked at each other, the nature of the situation obvious. They then pressed their lips to one another’s, holding each other there for what seemed to be forever. It was then when he pulled back, looking at her with a small smile.
“Well, I’m excited to begin the next leg of our journey together. We get to tomorrow, when we start our new life.”
“Same. I love you Norman, and I can’t wait to begin this new adventure, with our child as well,” she said.
The rest of the night was spent cuddling one another, the happiness that they felt knowing no bounds. For Kayley, she was scared of the future, but at the same time she felt like she was also ready to face it. It felt nice in a sense, truly a magical journey for herself, and for him as well.
The next day, they got on the flight together, not trying to bring too much attention to themselves. When they got back, he was put in the housing they provided, and she joined him there soon after. Most of the people didn’t put it together, but the few that did were surprised, but they did congratulate them on their baby and such.
They ended up having a little girl together named Anna. Anna was gorgeous, and for Kayley, although she had seen many births at the hospital she was at, the birth of her own daughter was something completely different. It was a sign that their love flourished, that they would continue to feel the love that they had for one another no matter what.
She continued to work at the hospital, which was much easier on her than at the old military hospital. She didn’t have to see death as much, and while it was still there, she didn’t have to take care of the patients coming in with broken limbs all the time. She started to work more in neurology and urinary health, which was still scary, but often, it was much easier on her than the elements she faced before.
As for Norman, he worked in technology, but soon he was a stay-at-home dad. He still made a lot of money, but he got to spend time with Anna. Kayley took maternity leave, but she made more than Norman, so he did his work at home while she was out.
However, even with all of the changes in their lives, and how hectic it did become, the three of them managed to become a family. Kayley was happy, and when they did tell their parents, at first it was considered weird, but they accepted it, and they did love Anna as well. It was a happily ever after for everyone, and for Kayley, she was just happy to find him again, and for him, he was happy to find the high school sweetheart that stole his heart once more.

A Dragon’s Desire
Description
Could they be star crossed lovers? When a fierce dragon shifter meets a fiery vixen, flames erupt between the two of them. Once they’re together the hot romance can only get hotter!
Trevor is an age-old dragon shifter that had looks far behind his years. He saves his words for the trees and flowers out in the wild, which isn’t much to say about his social life. Being one of the rarest shifters is rough on Trevor. It almost seems like he’s lost all hope.
That’s when she arrives…
Brenda gives Trevor the shock of his life. She’s adventurous, sensuous and might be the only woman to ever accept his true nature. But when the chips are down and there’s no one there to help him pick them up, he can’t help questioning himself. Did Trevor make a mistake or is Brenda really the woman for him?
Chapter 1
A dragon’s den is quiet. The cold walls and slumbering dragon within them did little to disturb that fine silence. Rising and falling with each gentle breath, scales the color of the night’s sky itself and claws sharper than its jagged fangs was Trevor. It’d been a long time since he’d felt the need to leave his sacred den. His home.
Far too long.
Time seemed to pass differently for Trevor when he was in dragon form. The hundreds of years he’d lived did little to make him feel the shift between human and beast. He knew deep in his heart that because of his half-form it would be hard enough to find a lover. It was only a matter of time before that love had to be whisked away by the cold hands of death.
“Grr…” Trevor grumbled, smoke rising from his nostrils. “God…” he groaned as he batted at the air with his powerful claws. The swipes shook the cave and brought stalactites crashing down all around the dragon.
Trevor woke suddenly. Startled. He couldn’t catch his breath in time. Cautiously he looked around his den, swinging his tail around and wings in front of him as defense. It didn’t take long for him to realize what had woke him as he looked up at the ceiling and then all around him. The small shards of minerals reflected the light trickling in from the sunrise right outside his cave.
It was as if the fragments had been dripping in sunlight from the way they twinkled in Trevor’s eyes. He took a deep breath and lay back, bringing a piece into his claws to fiddle with. It dawned on him, slowly, that it was another full day he’d spent on his other form. Trevor, as he was so called, hadn’t even attempted to change into his human form for the longest time.
Excuse after excuse came up in his mind. Why do I need to change anyway? Being a dragon is so much easier. He scoffed at the thought of having to deal with people again. With being rejected again.
A thought that’d been nagging him came up. You’re not worth her time... The fear of rejection for his true self, mixed with the need of mate, drove Trevor to a painful self-induced confliction. He wanted nothing more than to share his life with someone. His fears and his desires while they could spend all they could with him. In the deepest parts of his heart, though aching, he missed the feeling of warmth, being with someone regardless of how it ended.
Growing frustrated with himself, Trevor got up and lumbered out of his den. As his tail trailed behind him out of the cave’s mouth, the sun greeted Trevor’s scales with warmth all over. He sighed, taking in the sou
nds of the birds in the trees just waking up, and the fresh air full of moisture from the nearby river. This… this is home… he thought.
The lush forest going on for miles, far from his home in the bustling city was the one place Trevor could breathe. He walked around self-made walkways and paths though the tall oak trees and evergreens lovingly sprinkled all over. Birds flew overhead just above his horns. The ground beneath him shook with every step and Trevor swore that he could feel every animal in the forest moving in time with his footsteps.
“So lovely,” he cooed to the patches of flowers scattered about. His claw swept a few up and carried them to the tops of the trees just to watch all the petals fall. “Delicate and desirable. Shame I wasn’t born half flower…”
He couldn’t take his words wholly seriously and coughed up a chuckle. Taking a stroll through the forest, naked in the morning’s wake, he couldn’t help feeling like something was missing. He mused upon himself while conversing with the trees and the squirrels, but the thought still stirred him. These thoughts aren’t going to go away are they? He wondered, taking a spot by the rushing rover.
Trevor clawed at the ground as he thought. Damn. If I can’t even enjoy myself here what’s the point? There’s not even a chance trying with people anymore either… He fought against the mixed feelings welling up in his chest and making him shift around.
