Read Abducting Abby (Dragon Lords of Valdier: Book 1) for Free Online Page B

took a moment for Abby to realize it was not a dream but that she was really kissing Zoran. Then, it dawned on her she was no longer on the rock but laying in his arms. Abby’s eyes popped open and she gasped as she stared into Zoran’s golden eyes.
    Zoran took advantage of Abby’s startled gasp, letting his tongue slide between her lips. He deepened the kiss as he felt Abby’s fingers thread through his hair and pull him closer. By the time he pulled back, Abby was staring at Zoran with a dazed expression on her face and breathing heavy.
    “Wow. I wasn’t expecting that!” Abby whispered unable to look away at first. Then, as she realized what she said, she turned her face into his chest burying it with a groan.
    “I can’t believe I just said that. Please let me go. I must have taken a cat-nap.” Abby was mortified by her behavior. She had never behaved so wantonly before.
    Pushing against Zoran’s chest, Abby looked everywhere but at him. “Were you able to contact your family?”
    Zoran frowned. He had not said anything about his family. How could Abby have known he was contacting them? A dark suspension flashed through his mind at the thought that Abby might be a part of the Curizans’ plans to get more information out of him. He had been unconscious since his arrival. Was it possible they were staging this in an attempt to get him to talk? Or worse, to capture his brothers? Zoran’s arms tightened around Abby to the point of pain. He had no way of asking her unless she really did understand him and was just pretending not to.
    “Ow. You’re hurting me.” Abby said struggling to get free. Zoran’s fingers just tightened even more on her arms. “Ouch, Zoran. Please, you’re hurting me.”
    Abby looked up into Zoran’s furious face, tears of pain in her eyes. “What’s wrong? Why are you so angry with me?”
    Zoran demanded in a harsh voice, “What do you know of my family? Are you working with the Curizans? Tell me now and I will spare your life, if you do not, I will show you no mercy when I kill you.”
    Abby just looked at Zoran with a confused and frightened look. “Zoran, please…I don’t understand. What did I do to upset you?”
    Zoran felt a wave of frustration flash through him. He did not sense Abby was laying to him but how had she known his family was coming for him? Suddenly, both of the symbiosis on Abby’s wrist moved up under his hands and flashed him a shock that knocked him back off the rock and onto the ground.
    Abby looked on in stunned disbelief as the two gold bracelets around her wrists suddenly moved with lightning speed to strike out at Zoran. When she felt the shock reach through him and saw him falling backwards she cried out in alarm. She didn’t understand why he was so mad at her, and yes, he had frightened her, but she didn’t want to see him get hurt.
    Crying out, she reached out to him, her gaze moving back and forth between Zoran and the gold bracelets on her wrists. “Please don’t hurt him. He didn’t mean to hurt me. Please.”
    Abby turned tear filled eyes to look at Zoran as he stood up, frowning at her as the symbiosis moved back down around her wrists.
    “I don’t know why they did that. I didn’t ask them too. I…” Abby brushed a tear from her cheek. “I thought you were trying to see if your people were coming for you. That’s what I would do if I were you. I didn’t mean to make you mad or hurt you.”
    Zoran felt a rush of shame flash through his body as he heard the truth of Abby’s words. She had not known what he was doing. She just guessed that he would be contacting his family. He should have known that his symbiosis would never have gone to her, claimed her, if she meant to harm him. It would have known if she was doing anything that would betray him.
    Zoran stood for a moment unsure of what to do. He wanted to apologize for his behavior but knew Abby wouldn’t understand what he was saying. Running his hand through his long
