Three and a half months later …

Her skirt was bunched up around her hips. Meghan moaned louder as he thrust into her warm, welcoming heat. Her lab coat hung open. Her blouse was unbuttoned and her glorious tits spilled over the tops of her bra cups. Her nipples were tight and dark. Her heavy mounds wobbled with each hard shove. Fucking perfection. Her mouth hung open. Her fingers dug into his shoulders.

They’d barely made it back to their chamber. He was fucking her up against the door. As hard as he tried, Tide still couldn’t get enough of her. He needed to concentrate on the job at hand because there wasn’t much time. His mate was on a half-hour break. Thirty short minutes and that included travel time.

Tide grinned at his female, even though his skin felt too tight, even though his balls were getting ready to shoot off. “Come for me, gorgeous,” he growled. “I want to hear my name on those fuckable lips, Doctor Roberts.” His voice sounded strained. Who could blame him? His female was tight and hot.

She somehow choked out a laugh between her cries of pleasure. “Stop … calling me … that.” Another heavy moan.

“What?” he grunted, clenching his teeth for a moment. “Doctor …” Thrust. “Roberts?” Harder thrust. He didn’t wait for a reply. “You …” Thrust. “like it.” Thrust. “Doctor …” More thrusting and much more grunting. “Roberts.”

She clutched his shoulders tighter, her eyes grew wider. Her moans and whimpers became more urgent.

“Makes you …” Thrust, thrust. “come.” Thrust. “Every time.” He bent his knees a little. Her ankles were locked at his back. Her lush as fuck thighs were around his waist. Those tits were bouncing now, despite the support. He jackknifed in and out, bouncing her on his dick. Even her cheeks bounced a little with each hard thrust. Her eyes were hazy. So fucking sexy, and all his. Every delectable curve. “Doc…tor … Rob…erts.” Her eyes rolled back and she cried out as her pussy squeezed the fuck out of his dick.

Tide roared, he buried his head in her neck and bit down. Not too hard! Not too …

Meghan screamed his name, her whole body shook with the intensity of her orgasm. His shook just as hard. Tide fell to his knees. Sure to keep his hold on her. While she was much stronger than she used to be, she was still his to protect. He kept bouncing her, slowing down, his thrusts a little less urgent.

She was panting, working hard to catch her breath. Tide sat on his haunches, cradling her to his chest. Still deep inside her.

“You’re good at that,” she moaned, her head against his shoulder. “Very good.”

“It’s the reason you mated me.” Tide chuckled. He knew that a statement like that would piss her off.

“It is not.” She pulled back so that she could look him in his eyes. “I mated you because I love you.”

"You love my dick." He grinned. "Admit it. That's why you kept my shirt after our first night together and why you shouted my name every time you used that purple, rubber cock."

Her eyes widened and she gasped. He loved messing with her. Loved! “I still can’t believe you heard me that day when I … you know …” Her already flushed cheeks reddened up. “Even worse, I can’t believe that Bay … heard me …” She groaned, covering her eyes with her hand.

“What?” He grinned. She was so cute when she was embarrassed. “Easing yourself?”

She groaned again, dropping her head back onto his chest. “I told you not to talk about it ever again. To pretend it never happened.” Her words were muffled against him.

“Do you have any idea how many times I have replayed that moment in my mind? How many times I fisted my own cock thinking about you, my sweet little doctor?”

“Still …” Her face remained firmly planted in his chest.

“Still nothing. It’s perfectly normal behavior.” He smiled. “So I take it that you loved my gift?” Otherwise they wouldn’t be here during a quick break.

She lifted her head. “So much. Thank you again. It’s so thoughtful. You must have gone to so much trouble.”

“It was nothing.” It had only taken him three months to organize. He’d had to sneak measurements of her undergarments because the sets he bought were all custom-made.

She looked at him like he was mad. “I know it wasn’t nothing. I’ve had these boobs since I was about sixteen years old. I know how hard it is to find a bra in my size. Especially ones like that.” She looked at the large gift bag on the floor next to them. “They’re so pretty. So lacey and silky. So colorful and beautiful.”

“I’m glad you are happy.”

"I am, I'm thrilled." She hugged him tightly. "I love you," she whispered in his ear.

“I love you too and as much as I’m enjoying being close to you, inside you …” He circled his hips, loving the feel of her around him. Hot and wet. So very wet. “We have to go soon. Our break is almost over.”

She didn't react as he expected. There was no jumping up to her feet, or running for the shower. It wasn't like this was their first break-time sexcapade. "There was something I wanted to talk to you about." Her cheeks turned distinctly pinker.

“Oh yeah?” There was a questioning edge to his voice.

“Um … you know it looks like we’ve had a breakthrough with the vaccine?”

Tide grinned. “Yes. You are one hell of a scientist, doc.”

“Lucky break. Besides, I wouldn’t be able to push so hard if my subjects were human.”

“Please, you’re brilliant. That’s why we now have a vaccine.”

“Not quite yet.” She raised her brows.

“Soon then.”

She grinned. “Yes, soon.”

“Have I ever mentioned how your sheer brilliance is such a damned turn on?”

She smiled. “Yes, often.”

“Good! Now, what is it you have on your mind?”

She chewed on her lip for a second or two. “Well, I was thinking that it might be time to start trying for a baby.”

“You do?” he asked. Excitement coursed through him.

Meghan giggled, she nodded her head. “Yes. I do. I know how you really want to be a father and well, I feel the same.” She laughed. “About being a mother that is.”

“What about your asthma research?” he had to ask. “I know you planned on picking that up again.” He frowned.

“I could start working on my asthma research during my maternity leave.”

“What?” he growled. “You’ll be busy, with the baby. You’ll need your rest and …” He stopped himself from talking.

“You didn’t think I would stop working entirely did you?”

He pushed out a breath and shook his head. "I guess not. You might be brilliant but you're also a workaholic. You have to agree to take the first few weeks off."

“Okay.” Her smile grew wider.

“And, you start out half days for the first few months.” He narrowed his eyes at her.

She gasped. “Months? Months … that sounds long. I’ll take the baby with me. I’m sure he’ll sleep a ton in the early days anyway.”

Tide could barely breathe. “You promise not to overdo it?”

“I promise to do my best and to always put our baby first.”

“Are you sure you’re ready?”

Meghan nodded, her eyes were both wide with excitement and hazy with emotions.

“It’s a deal then.” Tide pulled her close, hugging her tight. He was unable to get the goofy smile off of his face. It was the same one that he had seen on other males. Ones that were totally in love and willing to do crazy things for their females. He never thought he would like it on himself but he was wrong.

This book brings about the end of The Bride Hunt series but by no means the end of the dragons. I plan on doing a couple of books in each kingdom. I'll write about some of the previous couples, as well as new love interests.

I will release these book sometime in the new year. If you want to be kept updated, you can join my newsletter - . Never miss out on a release or a sale again!

Unbound is next up. It is book 2 of the Shifter Night series and is on pre-order
