All Chapters of Dragon's mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Henry had a small, sad smile on his face.“This wasn’t supposed to turn out like this... You shouldn’t be scared of me. But I understand why you are.”“I am sorry, but I can’t help it. You drugged me. Twice. You kidnapped me. You are keeping me locked in a weird black cabin in the mountains somewhere and you talk crazy...” Elizabeth was amazed by her courage to talk this freely “Honestly, you didn’t strike me as a kind of a guy that would not take a no for an answer and would go to this lengths... ”

Elizabeth stayed in the shower as long as there was hot water. She liked hot water for as long as she could remember, it always had some sort of calming effect on her. This time though, not only she wanted that therapeutic effect but she also wanted Henry to freeze in there. She could not do anything else to him anyway, so this little thing was to count, right? She pulled on his sweats and shirt that were way too big for her even though she had average built and hight. She had to roll the top of the sweats a few times to stop them from falling.In the cabinet, she found a spare toothbrush and she helped herself as well as she helped herself with his shampoo and soap.

“What kind of question is that?” Elizabeth joked but Henry’s serious expression made her think that he wasn’t kidding like she initially thought.“Can you answer me? Do you believe in supernatural?” he repeated his question.“Like that TV show?”“No. That show is stupid, they got almost everything wrong. So, do you?” Henry scoffed and pressed further.

Landscape in front of the cottage left Elizabeth breathes. It was like a postcard scene, wooden house, the stone path to the lake surrounded with trees and bushes. Sun was high and ray beams were reflecting on the water surface creating a beautiful sight. It all looked like a small piece of heaven right here in front of them.“It’s breathtaking,” Elizabeth whispered not wanting to disturb this perfectness in any way. She turned around herself and faced Henry eye to eye still holding the rolling pin in her hand.Henry’s posture was tense but it was obvious that he was giving his best to not look

“So, a dragon… With wings and claws and scales…” Elizabeth couldn’t keep her curiosity at bay so she was the first one to speak after Henry took a seat, this time closer to her so now they were only a couple of inches apart.“I still can’t believe you are taking this so calmly. Just a few hours ago you were saying that I’m delusional and wanted to hav

“This is all too much” Elizabeth groaned and leaned back in the armchair putting her hands on her face. She took deep breaths trying to collect her thoughts, but everything she heard from Henry was becoming confusing fog in her head that she had no desire to chase away. “Relax, Liz. Everything will be ok.” Henry spoke softly knowing that even his voice was starting to have a

And that was the truth. She didn’t want to leave. No matter how everything began, no matter how they met, no matter that he kidnapped her and scared her to death, it all came down to this. She didn’t want to leave. Somehow, somewhere along the way she stopped being scared of him and started enjoying his mere presence, his voice, his stories. Honestly, being near him felt like she never felt before in her life, it felt like home.

Elizabeth felt ashamed after her little episode, as she called it in her head. She rarely cried and she had never cried in front of another person.She sniffed a little and after untangling herself from Henry’s embrace she went to the bathroom to blow out her nose. She hated that her reflection showed her hose and eyes a bit red but she felt good, light, and easy like a rock was lifted off her

“You keep a treasure here?” Elizabeth was flabbergasted.“Of course. Where else?” Henry answered not stopping with the steering of the sauce.

Beautiful morning sun shining through the window was what woke Elizabeth up. She has never in her entire life felt so good, refreshed and well-rested as this morning. A smile crept upon her face when she realized the position that they were in, they were spooning and she was a little spoon.
