through my body until all I could think about was the orgasm hovering just out
of reach.
    I brought my legs up along his sides and he hooked his arms
behind my knees then planted his palms firmly on the cushion beside my
shoulders. His strokes came faster, deeper, and I cried out from the pleasure
twisting inside of me. The sound seemed to spur him on and he ramped up his
efforts until I was out of my mind with the sensations ravaging my body.
    My heart was nearly beating out of my chest while wordless
sounds of ecstasy fell from my lips and our lower bodies slapped together. He
was losing his steady rhythm and I saw the desperation, the need for release in
his eyes. We were both so close, riding the edge of rapture together.
    The next moment I tensed, spasms of pleasure tightening my
slick inner muscles around his hard flesh as the orgasm crashed over me. He
thrust once, twice, then we both cried out as we finally fell over that edge
together.
    Rook’s black eyes held my gaze while he shuddered above me
and his erection throbbed inside me filling me with his seed. That was when the
thought hit me that I wasn’t on birth control and we hadn’t used a condom.
    Before panic could set in a powerful wave of energy
overwhelmed us and I was suddenly standing outside The Gateway while Dragon
spoke to Rook in that strange language again.
    “Wait!” I crossed my hands over my lower body then looked
down twisting from side to side. I was fully dressed just as I had been the
first time we stood here having this conversation.
    Rook stifled a laugh earning a glare from me, then he became
very serious. “Dragon, Serafina needs us. I’m not sure where she is but I think
she’s on the beach just past the pier. There should be a fire, go now and I’ll
meet you there.”
    He didn’t ask any questions he just launched himself into
the air transforming into a dragon mid-leap then disappeared from sight.
    “Where the hell did he just go?” I asked as Rook and I
started running for the beach. He was pulling me along just as fast as he had
last time and I was glad I’d picked sensible shoes today rather than my usual
high heels.
    “Vampires can wrap themselves in shadows and disappear from
sight,” Rook responded.
    “I thought he was a shapeshifter, how else would he be able
to change into a dragon?” I was running out of breath as we came around the
back of the resort and ran down the path leading to the pier.
    “He’s both, a hybrid; he and his people are known as
nightshifters.”
    “And you’re going to explain how that’s possible as soon as
this is over right?”
    Rook smiled down at me as we sprinted towards a torchlight I
could see in the distance. “As soon as this is over, I promise.”
    A few more steps and we heard Serafina shriek in agony as a
bonfire lit up near the pier. I stopped asking questions and threw all my
energy into running as fast as I could across the sand.
    By the time we reached Dragon he was human again but instead
of skin he was covered in scales and he was fighting someone with long black
hair that was dressed just like Rook. Serafina was tied to a stake in the
center of the bonfire with flames licking up her legs. She was still screaming
but she was getting weaker by the second.
    Rook took a moment to evaluate the situation then grabbed a
long wooden pole that had most likely held the torch and started scattering the
wood piled around Serafina’s feet. He told me to start throwing sand on the
burning wood and we seemed to be making progress when Serafina stopped
screaming.
    “She doesn’t have enough time; I have to take care of
Travali so Dragon can help her. With those scales covering his body the flames
can’t touch him,” Rook said as he took off for where Dragon and the other man
were still at each other’s throats.
    Travali? Both the troublemakers had shorter blonde hair, not
long and black like Rook’s. I moved closer to the fight and caught a flash of a
face.
    What the
