Free Dragons Don't Cry by Suzie Ivy Page A

licked the head and gazed at him. “My
hunger is quickly returning and I may need a full meal.”
    His hips rose from the blanket as he said,
“I will feed you dessert after, but by the gods take me in your
mouth.”
    Dragons were so easy.

Chapter Fourteen

    Her excitement kept us awake most of the
night while she pestered me with questions. I would almost be
asleep and she’d think of another one. But I didn’t regret telling
her. I knew she got lonely, I just didn’t like thinking about it.
The following morning, she fluttered around preparing herself and
asking more questions as I watched. We would be gone for two earth
days, but the time between realms was strange and impossible to
pinpoint how much time would pass here. During these trips, I
rarely stayed more than a few days. It could be hours or days later
once I returned. No rhyme or reason, but that was the gods’
doing.
    “Have you known your friends in this realm
for a long time?”
    “Yes,” I snapped, my impatience to leave
making me cranky.
    She ignored the tone of my voice. “What will
be the strangest thing I see?”
    I sighed; it would do me no good to put her
off. “Technology. The dragon realm exists on magic. Earth has very
little magic, so they are able to build and control toys that act
like magic.”
    “That makes no sense. There is no magic in
my realm, and we don’t have this technology you talk about.”
    I wasn’t happy that she didn’t think of the
dragon realm as her home yet, but I answered, “Your old realm was
filled with magic long ago, which keeps complex machinery from
working. Earth has networks of technology that will baffle your
mind, but I’m not telling you anymore. In a few short hours, I will
show you. If you hurry.” I had to hold the smoke back from my
nostrils.
    “You’re no fun.”
    “Your questions are delaying our
departure.”
    She crossed her arms and looked down at the
small bag she’d packed. “I’m ready and only waiting on you.”
    “Humph. Females,” I muttered under my
breath.
    I flew to the realm border and shifted to
human form. After dressing in common earth clothing, I carried our
two small bags over my shoulder. “Come here and stand in front of
me. You will need to walk, but I will hold you as we cross. I will
not let go, so don’t panic. I will keep you safe.”
    Her ass was covered in soft jeans, and she
wiggled against the front of me on purpose. I’d never had an
erection when crossing, but with her so close it was impossible not
to and her squirming didn’t help. With her wrapped in my embrace, I
could feel each breath she took. I waited until she breathed in
then I walked forward, giving her no option but to move with me. It
hurt, but I knew the pain was stronger for her because my magic
protected me somewhat. The discomfort took care of my erection so
the pain wasn’t a bad thing. I felt her body stiffen, but she
didn’t utter a sound. The crossing was swift because she didn’t
panic.
    Acasia let out the breath she’d been
holding. “Not pleasant, but not unbearable.”
    This surprised me; all of my females cried
and swore they didn’t wish to do it again. This bride never acted
as I expected, which made me smile with pride.
    “Sir.”
    I released Acasia and turned to see our
driver. Not someone I knew, and never before had a female waited.
She stood calmly by the vehicle, obviously expecting us. Acasia
stared with huge eyes. Her world ran on horses and oxen for
transportation, she’d never seen a mechanical vehicle for
transport.
    The driver opened the rear door. “I am
Brunya. Your plane awaits.” She smiled at us.
    Brunya was large for a woman. She had stern
facial features, but when she smiled, it softened her face and made
her pretty. “Thank you, Brunya. How are things in your clan at the
moment?”
    She shook her head, a smile still playing on
her lips. “Changed, and for some of us that’s a good thing.”
    I pulled my bride beside me. “Brunya,
