night. Right by my side.”
    She stopped breathing as she saw it too. Her lying next to him cuddled in sleep because he had thoroughly satisfied her. Blackness danced on the corner of her eyes as she held her breath and scenes of them together took over. His touch reminded her to breathe.
    “Where are we?” They stepped out of the elevator into a small hallway. Eight steps from the elevator was another door. It was heavy. No one would be breaking through it.
    “This is my floor and behind that door is my sanctuary.” He placed his hand against it and the door opened.
    He took her hand and placed it on the door. He worked a few controls as well as drew a few shapes in the air. Then he nodded his satisfaction and took her hand away.
    “Now your hand print will be able to open the door. If anything happens, you come here immediately. Understand?”
    “Not really. What could happen and why would I come here?”
    “Mutufa will be back. The safest room in my mountain is mine. Don’t argue, just come here.”
    She nodded and he opened the door so she could get her first look. The room took up the whole interior of the mountain. She looked at him, her eyes filled with wonder.
    “It had to be this big. In the end, I would shift to dragon unable to shift back and eventually I would freeze.”
    She nodded with a lump in her throat. The thought of him freezing made her nervous. He wouldn’t be here to tease her or take care of her. That was bad enough but thinking of how she would visit him crushed her, and she would visit him like he visited his brother. She needed time. He didn’t have to freeze; it was all up to her now. Something she wasn’t ready to think of. Taking responsibility for another person when she felt barely able to take responsibility for herself.
    The room was wide and deep. She walked to the middle to find a huge bed. “What is this, two king sized beds put together?”
    “I had the bed made a long time ago and I get the mattresses specially made when I need new ones.”
    “All right.” The balcony called to her. She went out and just smiled in awe as she saw the view, it was beautiful. “Do you change and fly from here?”
    “I do. I love seeing my land like this. Lately it has been one of the few things that gives me not only pleasure but also peace.”
    Walking back into the room, she saw two doors. The last one was a bathroom. It had a huge shower and a large jetted tub along with double sinks. From the look of the bathroom, it was recently updated. The other door led to a huge walk-in closet. There was more than enough room for every stitch of clothing she owned and much more.
    “This is like your own private lair.” She ran her finger along one of the dressers that matched his huge bed. The carving and detail work in it was phenomenal.
    “I’ve had centuries to work on it. Let me show you where you will be sleeping.”
    She looked around once more with regret, and followed him to the door.
    They ended up on the sixth floor. When they got off the elevator, there was no security door that needed to be by passed. There were three doors on the floor. He opened the one to the right and let her inside.
    “This is where you will be staying.” It was about a third the size of his room making it a very large room.
    “It beautiful. Your mountain is filled with a peaceful charm.”
    “Thank you.” He crossed the room and placed her bag at the foot of the bed.
    “Would you like to see the rest of my home or would you prefer to shower or bathe first.”
    “Would that be ok?” She looked at him with a smile. Her body was still tired from all they had done and she wanted nothing more than to sink in a tub. She could only hope hers was jetted like his was.
    “Take your time. I have to go talk with some friends, so it will be fine. If you can’t find what you need in here, feel free to look for it in my room.” He leaned over and kissed her, placing his hand on the small of her back to bring her
