into the hall.
    There was something strange going on with
her mystery man, and it wasn’t just the fact that he had lost his
memory. She watched him out of the corner of her eye as he swung
his bags merrily. He even hummed a bit off tune. When they got to
the elevators, he stepped up and pressed the button before she
could reach it. She turned to look at him fully. For some reason,
he looked way too happy.
    “Where’s the pizza?” she asked when she
noticed the missing box.
    “It didn’t please you, so I left it.”
    “What?” she asked, shocked. He didn’t
just say that, did he?
    “I left it,” he said again, “but it doesn’t
matter. We’re on our way to get breakfast.”
    Terra stood with her mouth open. Had he
really said that he’d left it because it didn’t please her? What the hell?
    When the elevator door opened, the dragon
man ushered her inside and hit the button to go down. Terra stared
at him as his happy movements stilled.
    “Listen.” He cocked his head and gave her a
sidelong look. “About last night…”
    This shut Terra’s gaping mouth. The pain of
his rejection boiled up in her, and she turned her eyes to the
door. “You don’t need to explain about last night. I understand
perfectly. I can take a hint.” Her jaw locked up against her
anger.
    “ No .” He practically yelled the word
as he turned on her.
    Before she could respond to his sudden
movement, he had her pinned against the wall. There was an
overwhelming need in the way his mouth pressed to hers. She gasped
in surprise, and he took advantage of her parted lips to deepen the
kiss. Warmth raced through her as desire melted her in his
arms.
    Rubbing his hands down her sides, he
worshiped at her lips. She moaned softly as his tongue sought out
hers, rubbing against it in a very carnal dance that left nothing
to her imagination.
    The plastic bag with her things slipped from
her fingers as she raised her hands to hold him to her. Suddenly,
the rejection from last night didn’t seem so important. She held on
as his hands slid farther down her sides to her hips. They paused
there for a moment before slipping lower. Grabbing her thighs, he
hefted her up so she was pinned between him and the wall of the
elevator. The hard length of his arousal pressed into her as he
ground his hips against her, fitting them together as much as their
clothing would allow. Heat pooled low in her body as she tugged him
closer, needing more from him.
    The high-pitched ping of the elevator door
rang out, and Terra yanked her head back from him, gasping for
breath. The door slid open on the ground floor, but he ignored it
as he trailed a line of kisses down the side of her neck and onto
her collarbone.
    Ignoring the heat and need racing through
her, Terra pushed against his shoulders. The door of the elevator
stood wide open for anyone to step in if they wanted to. They were
going to get caught!
    Slowly, he pulled back and looked at her.
The pupils of his eyes had gone from being round to the almond
shape of a cat’s. He blinked a few times before closing his eyes
and leaning his head forwards to rest against hers.
    “I’m sorry,” he whispered as he tried to get
his breathing back under control. “I should not have done that.”
Carefully, he released his grip on Terra’s thighs and let her slide
down until her feet rested on the floor.
    She held on to him, unsure if her legs would
support her. Wow! There wasn’t just desire in that kiss.
There was passion and a need that Terra didn’t understand. It
pulled at her, wanted her. It terrified her.
    Slowly, her dragon man’s hands came up to
her shoulders, and he pushed himself back from her. “Without
knowing who I am, I don’t have anything to offer you.” He opened
his eyes and stared at her. His pupils were still slitted like a
cat’s.
    Terra stared at them. No. Not cats’ eyes.
Dragons’ eyes. His dragon was staring out of his eyes at
her.
    Reluctantly, he released her and turned
