QUOTE : What are you going to do if you can’t challenge him?” I asked, ashamed of the pathetic tone of misery in my voice.<br /><br />Drake smiled. His lips curled up, and his eyes went dragon as the smile grew in a way that made me thankful he was on my side. “I am wyvern of the green dragons.”<br /><br />“Yeah, so?”<br /><br />“Such a look of confusion in your beautiful face. What do green dragons do best?”<br /><br />“You’re not going to make love to him,” I said, scandalized for a moment even though I knew Drake couldn’t mean that.<br /><br />He gave me a long-suffering look. “Hardly.”<br /><br />“Well, good. Because I told you once I don’t share, not even with another guy, although I have to admit that…um…never mind.”<br /><br />One of Drake’s eyebrows rose. “Such unplumbed depths to you. I’m afraid that particular fantasy will never be fulfilled. I hold what is mine. No others will have you.”<br /><br />I smiled at the slightly outraged glint in his eyes. “Don’t worry, it’s not a fantasy. I always kind of wondered what it would be like to have so much attention, but then I met you, and, well, I don’t think I could survive more attention than what you give me.”<br /><br />“That was the correct answer,” he said, his voice rich with smugness.<br /><br />“Uh-huh. OK, so back to Fiat…” I pulled my mind from the delightful sensations Drake’s hands and mouth were giving me, and thought hard. If he couldn’t challenge Fiat, what could he do? Drake was a man of many talents, but I couldn’t think of one that would help him get me back without some sort of fight between him and Fiat.<br /><br />And then the penny dropped.<br /><br />I started laughing, causing Drake to pause as he unbuttoned my shirt. “Figured it out, did you?”<br /><br />“I’m allowed to be a bit slow. I’ve had a hell of a day. So, my darling green dragon…what treasure of Fiat’s are you going to steal?
