hair away from her face and knew it was a total mess. “You do realize I’m naked under this thing, right?”
    He stopped mid-stride and pressed his lips to her lips. “I wouldn’t want you any other way.”
    Her heart warmed with the softness she saw in his eyes. For a moment, there were no walls in his golden depths—only caring and concern.
    He marched up stairs, not once out of breath.
    “Vikter, I can walk.” She ran her nails through the back of his hair, gliding her fingers between his short locks. “I’m too heavy! I’m telling you, you’re going to hurt yourself.”
    “No. You can’t walk, because I want to carry you.” He winked and lifted the corner of his lips in a sexy grin. “You are so tiny. I don’t understand why you keep complaining about your weight.”
    She didn’t know what to say. No way was she going to complain over a man finally finding her small and enjoying her curves. She’d have to be stupid. “You make a good point.”
    “We’re almost there,” he said, pushing a door open to the top of one of the castle’s towers. There was a sofa and nothing else up there.
    He sat down on the sofa and placed her on his lap, cuddling her to his chest.
    “It’s still nighttime,” she said, turning sideways to look into his eyes. “Did you want to talk about something?”
    A cool breeze rushed through the trees, rattling branches and making her press her body into his. He hugged her tighter, rubbing his arms up and down hers. “I want to show you something.” He glanced up at the sky and sighed. “In a few minutes.”
    “Razzy’s a dragon,” she said, voicing the first thing that came to mind.
    “She is.” He laughed. “We are the Dragos. Dragon shifters.”
    She nodded. “So you’re a dragon, too.”
    “I am.”
    She bit her lip, wanting to ask more about that but deciding against it. She wondered how he looked as a dragon. Was he like the big golden one she’d seen? Vikter was clearly a golden dragon, from what they’d said about eye color. Razzy’s eyes were purple. His were gold, and Drayken’s were red. It still weirded her out to think of his red eyes. It was so strange.
    She nodded and glanced up too. “Wow. You have the most amazing night sky,” she gasped. “The stars are really close. I feel like I can reach up and grab them.”
    He laughed. “Those are our neighboring planets. They keep to themselves, much like we do.”
    One particular star had a blue glow that made it appear like a night-light. “That’s a really pretty one.”
    “That’s Keiros. They’re a lot like us, but they don’t shift. They’re more of a warrior race.”
    She leaned her head into his shoulder. “This is so surreal. I would have never thought I’d ever be on a planet full of shifters.” She kissed his neck. “With such a sexy one holding on to me.”
    “Why is that so hard? I’ve never been to Earth, but I find that from what Bella and Charlotte have said, we have things in common.”
    She shook her head. “Very little. Your planet is so clean. So beautiful and lush. On Earth, there’s tons of garbage, and humans don’t know how to live without a million gadgets.”
    “You don’t like gadgets?”
    She shrugged. “I’m happy with a good book. Give me an e-reader or a paperback, and I can be easily entertained.”
    “What types of books do you like to read?” He appeared genuinely interested, so she didn’t feel bad answering honestly.
    “I like horror. I like stuff that scares me.” He started laughing, the loud chuckled making her bounce on his lap. “What’s so funny?”
    “I never would have taken you for someone who likes horror. But now that I think about it, I can see it.”
    She raised her brows and stared at his face. “You can?”
    He nodded. “I saw the murderous intent in your eyes the night of the ball.”
    She tapped him on the shoulder in a mock slap. “You’re bad. What about you? What do you like to do when you’re not yelling at women
