thin shed that was
against the wall of the house. She tried to keep her eyes off the length of him,
but was having trouble. Raven bit her lip to quiet her moan of delight. You
could bounce a whole roll of quarters off his tight ass.
    “See
anything you like?” he asked when he caught her staring.
    “Same ol ’, same ol ’. The view
from here is quite picturesque, though,” Raven replied.
    “If
you say so, darling,” he murmured. “Now, when you go inside, I want you to man
the security alarm. The code is seven-five-four-nine-eight .
I will be back in a few hours.”
    “How
do you patrol?” she asked
    “There
is a grid pattern we each follow. Each night we patrol a new section of the
grid. Being that I was attacked so close to home makes us wonder if the Shen are forming a cell here or if this is where the king
is hiding.”
    “Wouldn’t
it be much easier if you catch one alive to interrogate it?” Raven questioned.
    “We
have tried that, but they will kill themselves before we can imprison one of
them,” Raul explained. “They have a poisonous sack of venom beneath their
tongue. It’s incased in a thick membrane and, like a snake, it can be released
in a bite if they choose. Their venom is also deadly to themselves even though
it’s in their body. The membrane holding the venom protects them, but we’ve seen
some of them puncture it and flood their bodies with poison rather than have to
be questioned by us.”
    “What
will you do if you find evidence of a cell here?” Raven asked. Everything he
was telling her was so fascinating she wished she could journal it all, though
she knew she would probably be laughed out of her field for such ridiculous findings.
She would have to silently take pleasure in knowing such a race lived alongside
humans.
    “My
brother dragons will come in and we’ll kill them all.” He said it so mildly,
with no emotion, like he was ordering a cup of coffee, but the look in his eyes
was deadly.
    Without
another word, he lowered his head and she held her breath as his body began to
shimmer. In seconds his body seemed to be swaying so fast her eyes could not
keep up with the movement. A glowing, shimmery mist began at his feet and moved
upwards until he was completely surrounded. She gasped as this was like
watching magic, something that wasn’t really supposed to exist. His skin slowly
turned into emerald scales and his body widened in height and width. The scales
that ran the length of his neck to his lower stomach were a bright golden color.
Raven put her hand over her mouth in awe and moved hesitantly forward to touch
him after his transformation was complete. His scales were smooth and heat
seemed to radiate off his body. He bent his massive head towards her and she
touched his snout. “You’re magnificent. Simply beautiful,” she whispered. He
gave a snort and she smiled. “Go do your thing, dragon. I’ll be waiting for your
return.”
    He
bent his head to acknowledge her statement before turning towards the cliff.
Raven gasped as he spread his wings and took off into the sky. Against the sun
that was now almost completely set, the sight of him taking flight was
breathtaking. She watched until she could barely make him out in the distance
and then turned and went back into the house. She set the alarm and got her ice
cream before going back to the living room. Instead of curling up with her book,
she found herself watching the darkness crawl across the sky, searching for that
glimmer of Raul coming back. There was more to him than just a cocky playboy
and she wanted to peel back the layers to his true self. Raven worried her lips
with her teeth, knowing that if she delved into that realm with him she would
be in danger of losing herself completely.

    Raven . Her name wafted through his head while Raul flew through
the air on dragon wings. The look on her face when he had shifted to his dragon
form was one that made him forget to breath. There was
