    Mace surprised her by leaning closer, his mouth hovering near hers. She sensed he was giving her the opportunity to deny him, but she had no intention of doing so.
    Reaching up, she wrapped one palm around the nape of his neck and drew him closer.
    Her gaze zeroed in on his firm lips, knowing what she wanted and knowing too that she’d soon have it.
    She wanted Mace’s kiss. She wanted to know his flavor and his passion. She wanted him like she’d wanted few men in her life, and now was the moment of discovery. Would he be as good a kisser as she hoped? Would he be as good a kisser as Drake?
    Krysta tried to erase that last thought and concentrate on Mace, but it was there, niggling in the back of her mind, even as Mace’s lips descended the final distance to hers.
    He was warm and firm, and his hot body crowded close as he pulled her into his arms.
    His lips pressed, then opened, and his tongue rubbed over the seam of her lips before she opened to let him in.
    The feeling was incredible. Her hands went to his strong shoulders and drew him closer. All tentativeness was gone as he lowered her to the ground, his chest rubbing seductively over hers, his tongue tangling with hers, his body making hers sing. Mace was all man and all powerful. Any idea she might have harbored that he was just the slightest bit inexperienced was wiped away forever by the way he took command of her body and her senses.
    He kissed like a dream. His hands were gentle but firm as he stroked over her, working at the ties of her simple dress to bare the skin beneath. He moved with deliberate slowness, giving her every chance to object, but Krysta had no intention of stopping him.
    What he was doing felt too damn good.
    She slid her hands under the hem of his shirt, dragging upward to caress the sinewy muscles of his rock solid abdomen. She felt powerful when his abs clenched under her exploring fingers and he pulled back, breaking their kiss.
    “Do you want more?” His gaze mesmerized as he looked down at her.
    Krysta licked her lips, liking the way his gaze followed the movement of her tongue.
    Smiling, she nodded with deliberate, seductive motions.

    “I’ll let you know if I want you to stop.”
    “I don’t think I can take much more, milady. You’re very potent.” Mace tugged her closer, setting his hard thighs between hers on the soft, mossy ground.
    “I can take all you’ve got, sir knight.” She stroked his cheek with one hand. Boldly, she rocked her hips against his, loving the way he fit—even with their clothing still between them—into the notch of her legs. He felt huge and very hard, and she wanted that hardness inside her.
    It had been too long since any man had made her feel this way. It had been years since Krysta’s last intimate encounter, in fact. After the broken heart she’d suffered as a young girl, she kept her liaisons short and as unemotional as possible, preferring to concentrate on her work rather than the Jinn rogues who were constantly in her path.
    Mace however, was a different story. The man was solid in every way. Grounded, mature, rock-hard in all the right places, but still he had a sense of adventure and unexpected humor. He intrigued her and made her want to risk her heart—just a little—
    for the first time in years. She knew he was courting her with an eye to the future.
    Knights didn’t bother coaxing short-term bedmates into accepting their dragon partners.
    No, this whole afternoon was a sure sign Sir Mace had a longer-term relationship in mind, and Krysta didn’t mind that one bit.
    She just plain liked Mace, and Nellin too. She wanted a steady man in her life now that she’d finally found a permanent home in Draconia and a place to use the skills she’d honed as a warrior of the Jinn. She was planting roots and making a home. If her new life in Draconia included Mace, so much the better. She
