at least a modicum of future embarrassment, I felt a little better.
    Though my body still hummed with sexual starvation.
    I’d just have to live with that for the time being.
     

Chapter Six
    Dealing with the Afterglow
     
    Alas young miss doth find herself, in a lair without a ride,
    Who will send much needed help, when her scruples start to slide?
     
    Glynus was gone.
    I couldn’t believe it. I stood there looking at the empty nest and tried calling to her with my mind.
    She didn’t respond.
    Worry slammed through me and I realized, besides worrying about my dragon, I also needed to worry that I was trapped in the Slayer’s cave with no ride home.
    I walked to the entrance of the cave, emerging into the bright dregs of a fading sun, and looked out over the brown, craggy mountain ranges that comprised the Reds’ queendom. Aside from a type of enormous gray-and-black bird with a beak as long as my leg, nothing else stirred outside. No reds, no blacks. No Glynus.
    “She’s gone to speak with the Queen.”
    I jerked around, the sudden motion nearly toppling me off the narrow ledge at the mouth of the cave.
    The Slayer reached out and grabbed a flailing arm before I went over, pulling me up hard against a broad, warm chest.
    I looked up into wide, gold eyes framed in inky black lashes. His breath was soft on my face, filled with sensual musk. “It seems I’m destined to always and forever save your cute ass from dropping into the abyss.”
    He didn’t step back away from the edge so I couldn’t jerk my arm from his grip. As if I wasn’t already prisoner enough, he slid his other arm around my waist, dropping a heated hand over the place where my butt rounded away from my back.
    My Settling kicked in with a vengeance, making my nipples harden painfully and warm cream slide from my overcharged pussy. He dropped his lips to touch my cheek, just under one eye. “It’s a good thing I don’t mind. It’s such a sexy…delicious…ass.” His heated breath danced across my face and my eyes closed as I inhaled his essence, my knees weakening from the effects.
    Like the touch of a feather, his lips pressed gently against mine.
    I gasped, pulling his musk deep within my lungs. The effect was dangerously disconcerting. He paused, locked in the gentle touch of his soft lips against mine and then gently pressed the hand in the small of my back to bring my hungry body close to his.
    I could feel the long, hard ridge of his cock against my belly. My body wept at the feel of him, the taste and smell of him. My mind screamed at me to run as far and as fast as I could, but my slut-monkey side purred with delicious anticipation.
    He increased the gentle pressure of his mouth and I groaned, my hands sliding up his back to glide through the short, silky strands of his hair. I pulled him more deeply into the kiss, opening my lips to accept the tender assault of his talented tongue.
    He breached my lips with a swipe of his heated tongue and then dived inside to taste and tangle with my tongue.
    I felt his groan of desire rumbling against my chest and my body throbbed in response. His hands slipped along my sides and across my back, dragging me tightly against his hard body.
    His lips left mine and I sighed.
    “Do you have any idea what it did to me to watch you pleasuring yourself in the heated pool?”
    My eyes flew open and heat infused my face.
    He kissed my cheeks, trailing his lips across my nose, down my jawline and to my throat. I dropped my head back to give him better access. “Don’t be embarrassed. It was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. All I can think about now is getting inside you, driving my cock deep in that juicy little pussy.”
    I bit my lip, swamped in the sensations of his body against mine, his scent in my nostrils and his hands sliding hungrily over the supercharged nerve endings of my skin. His words were creating a whirlwind of feelings in my breast. They excited me. There was no doubt about that, but
