“You’re pregnant.’
“You said that before. I know it’s a possibility.”
“No, you are pregnant, and they are going to be like me.”
Cassandra stopped and stared. “What?”
“My dragon mated with you and that guarantees it. You’re mine now, and you’re claimed. No one can touch you. Our kids will be here soon.”
“Kids.”
“Probably more than one, but we can talk about that later.”
Cassandra was starting to feel lightheaded. A dragon was one thing, dragon lover, another. But to think of herself having a bunch of dragon kids was too much. She saw black and felt Antoine’s arms around her, right before she fell down.

Cassandra came to with Antoine looking down at her, concern on his face.
“Are you alright?”
She smiled and sat up, rubbing her head. “You would not believe the dream I just had.”
Cassandra looked around and quickly realized that she was exactly where she had left off in her dream. Which meant that it wasn’t a dream at all. She hadn’t made it up. It had really happened.
Immediately, she sat up completely and wanted to know if what she thought was real, was real. Was he really a dragon? Had all of it really happened?
“You’re a…”
“Yeah, I am.”
“And I’m…” Cassandra touched her stomach and looked up at him. She couldn’t actually say the words out loud. She didn’t want to. Cassandra couldn’t believe that she could actually be pregnant or that he was a dragon. It was all more than she was prepared to handle.
“Yeah, you are. We really need to get moving. We can stay with Nathan tonight. I thought we got them all, but that’s what happens when you don’t take care of all of them.”
“That was Gill?”
Antoine agreed. “We need to get out of here.”
“Wait, I need a minute, Antoine. This is a bit much to process, so you’re going to have to give me a little time.”
“Sorry, I know this is a lot. I was so worried about what you would think of me when you found out. Tell me that you think we can still be together. I have to know.”
“You talked like I didn’t have a choice.”
“Of course, you do. You should know that I would never do anything to hurt you, ever.”
Cassandra agreed. “I know. I actually dreamed about you for weeks now, like that, you know, your dragon or whatever.”
His brow went up. “Oh yeah?”
“Yeah.” Cassandra didn’t know why she was bringing it up all of a sudden, but she was so turned on.
“Do you want to know what happened?”
He agreed. “I think that I do.”
“Well, you would turn into your human form after I rode you, though I could never see your face. Then, you would come over to me and you would make love to me for hours, until I’d wake up and ruin it.”
