Slipping his fingers under the silk at her hip, Nowell ripped the offending material from Scarlett’s body and threw it over his head, growling as the scent of warm cinnamon, and fresh evergreen filled his senses. No longer willing to stand the torture, the tip of his tongue slowly licked up the glistening seam of her pussy.
Nowell groaned, his dragon roaring in his head as Scarlett’s taste burst upon his tongue. Placing his hands under the wonderfully full globes of her behind, the Guardsman lifted her pussy closer to his face, feasting as if he’d never been fed before. Driving his tongue into her excited pussy as far as he could go, licking every inch of his mate, even curling the end of his tongue to tease the sensitive bundle of nerves at the top of her channel.
Scarlett’s hands dove into his hair, fisting the strands and pulling with such force Nowell was sure he’d be bald as she moaned his name over and over. Smiling against his mate’s skin at the way she reacted to his touch, the emerald dragon used the flat of his tongue to lick her outer lips from bottom to top, teasing her aroused clit on every pass.
Tightening her legs around his head, her heels digging into his back, the reindeer’s wails to the Heavens rattled the windows of her cottage as Nowell sucked her swollen nub between his lips, flicking it up and down with his tongue, teasing and taunting until Scarlett was screaming her release to the Heavens above.
Lapping at Scarlett’s essence as it flowed from her body, Nowell nuzzled and nipped the puffy lips until she released his hair, and her breathing returned to normal. Carefully sliding her legs from his shoulders and massaging the tired muscles of her thighs, the emerald dragon looked up at his mate, his heart nearly bursting with love. There had never been a more glorious sight than his mate, the one the Universe had made for him, completely satisfied, looking like a Princess laid out before him.
Kissing her hip, then her belly button, where he paid extra attention with the tip of his tongue until Scarlett started to wiggle her hips and giggle under her breath, Nowell nipped his way up her stomach, kissing the sweet spot between her breasts, loving the feel of her heart beating in sync with his. Palming both of her breasts, the emerald dragon gently squeezed, the already raised peaks growing harder against his palms. Kissing up her neck, he smiled against her heated skin as Scarlett moved her head to the side, allowing him all the access he needed.
True to herself, his sassy mate, grabbed his head, pulled his lips to hers and kissed him with the wild abandon he’d witnessed when she was fighting Asher. Nowell opened immediately, letting Scarlett know that she owned him completely…body, heart and soul. Just as fiery in bed and in love as she was in the outside world, his reindeer was absolute perfection.
With her hands in his hair and her tongue sliding in and out, dancing alongside his, the Guardsman holding back his climax by the thinnest of threads. Shifting his hips slightly, Nowell thrust his cock into the haven of her body, pushing until he could go no farther as Scarlett ripped her lips from his, screaming, “Nowell!... Yes!... Oh, my God, yes!... I love you!”
Wanting to go slow the first time in his mate’s body, but unable to keep control as the feel of her muscles contracted around him, massaged, tempted, teased, made it absolutely impossible for Nowell to hold still. Pulling out until only the tip of his rock-hard cock rested within her body, the emerald dragon commanded, “Look at me, mo ghra’. Look at the man who will love you every minute of every day for the rest of eternity. Look at me, Scarlett.”
Immediately snapping her eyes to his, the love Nowell saw overflowing from his reindeer’s heart and soul was nothing short of humbling. Thrusting into her then pulling right back out, he started a rhythm that Scarlett met stroke for stroke with an explosive passion that fed his own.
Staring into one another’s eyes, their hearts beating as one, her deer reaching for his dragon, the couple’s passion exploded, rocking both shifters to the very bottom of their souls. Pushing her knees toward her chest, Nowell lifted Scarlett’s ass off the bed, going deeper and deeper into the haven of her body.
Rolling his hips, the head of his cock caressed the sensitive bundle of nerves that made the walls of her vagina close tighter and tighter around him. Wanting to shout to the Heavens when her eyes rolled back in her head from the pleasure he knew only he could give his mate, Nowell’s chest puffed with pride as Scarlett struggled to catch her breath.
Reaching between their bodies, Nowell’s fingers had barely closed around her clit when his mate’s orgasm propelled them both over the edge of ecstasy. Scarlett’s mouth opened in a silent scream, her deep brown eyes holding the miraculous promise of their future coupled with all the love in her heart, made it impossible for Nowell to do anything but follow his deer into a blissful cloud that only they could make together. There was no doubt, and would never be, that Nowell would follow Scarlett absolutely anywhere, even to the ends of the Earth.
Hours later, they laid together, completely satiated, her head on his chest, their legs intertwined, as their bodies cooled from several amazing hours of lovemaking. The emerald dragon could only smile like a giddy little kid from the love he shared with his Scarlett.
Grabbing his jeans off the floor, Nowell pulled a small evergreen velvet pouch from his pocket and turning back to Scarlett, laid it in her open hand. Looking up with a shocked look in her eyes, his mate asked, “What’s this? It’s not Christmas yet.”
“NO, it’s not, but this can’t wait.”
Untying the thin strings, Scarlett opened the top of the pouch and tipped it over, gasping at the ring Nowell’s grandfather had given to his grandmother many centuries before.
“Oh, my stars,” she cried out. “This is gorgeous.” She looked up at him, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “But it’s too much...too beautiful. It has to be a family heirloom.”
“Yes, it was my grandmother’s, who told me just seconds before she ascended into the heavens that I was to give it to my mate.” He winked, before adding, “And that is you.”
Reaching down and taking Scarlett’s hand, he slid the ring onto her finger and as he admired it, explaining, “The eight sides of the Asscher cut emerald in the center signifies the eight emerald dragons who formed the original Emerald Dragon Clan - Oileán Iathghlas na hÉireann Dragon. The ten pearls, five on either side of the emerald, sitting atop each of the five golden rings of the setting, stand for the ten Oileán Iathghlas na hÉireann Queens, who showed favor upon King Arthur’s knights, giving them the use of their magic even before we were dragon.”
When he looked up, tears were streaming down Scarlett’s beautiful face as she stared at her ring. It took a few minutes for his feisty mate to regain control, but when she did, Scarlett sat back and looked him in the eyes, the adoration Nowell saw there made him feel whole, like he could handle whatever Fate had to throw at him with his stunning reindeer by his side.
“Thank you, Nowell. Thank you so much. You are better than every Christmas wish I have ever made.”
Pausing as his love for his incredible mate overflowed, making it hard for him to breathe and his heart nearly beating out of his chest, Nowell murmured directly into Scarlett’s mind, “You, an stór mo chroí, have a permanent place on my Very Nice List.” Kissing her lips, letting all the love in his heart and soul flow to the one woman in all the Universe made for him, the emerald dragon added, “I love you, Scarlett. I love you more than all the sprinkles on all the Christmas cookies in all the world…forever and always. Nollaig Shona, no réinfhianna álainn.”
Until we meet again…
(Best wishes to you and yours every single day of the year!)

Buzz! Buzz-Buzz-Buzz!
“Who is it?” She screamed from under the covers where she’d fallen asleep on the couch, promising herself to disconnect the stupid doorbell on her first day off.
“You
r partner. We’ve got a case,” came Fitz’s gruff reply.
Pulling the blanket from her head, Donnatella Hale, called Hale since she’d joined the police force ten years ago and Nat to her friends, groaned aloud as she realized not even the sun was up yet. Throwing her feet onto the floor and making her body follow, she grabbed her robe and threw it on as she made her way to the front door.
Looking through the peephole just to be sure, she unlocked the door and turned the knob, before opening it all the way and grabbing Fitz’s cup of steaming coffee.
“Hey! I just bought that,” he snarled.
“I can tell. It’s still hot and doesn’t smell like your nasty cigarettes.”
Taking a sip as she started up the stairs to her room to get dressed, she called over her shoulder, “What the hell time is it any way?”
“Four am, your Ladyship. Got any food in your fridge?”
“Yep! Stopped at the store last night.” Stepping onto the second floor, a cold chill raced down her spine. The kind a person gets when someone rakes their fingernails down a chalkboard or walks over their own grave. Stopping at the railing and looking down, she asked, “What and where?”
Having worked together since Nat became a detective three years ago, Fitz knew what she was asking and answered, “DB in the Park.”
Closing her eyes, knowing what the answer to her next question was going to be, but needing to hear him say it, she asked, “It’s a girl?”
“Yes.”
“In Manlowe Park?”
“Yes.” Fitz walked into the foyer holding half a ham sandwich and looked up at her. “And?”
“And she’s twenty-one. Her neck’s been slashed. No signs of sexual assault. All her belongings are with her and she has a yellow ribbon wrapped around her right wrist.”
“Yes.” He took a bite of his sandwich. “And?”
“And a jogger found her by the pier.”
“You are right again, but then, I never doubted otherwise.”
Blowing out a long breath, she turned towards her room, crossed the threshold and closed the door. Leaning her back against the wood, she ran her fingers through her hair, pulling the scrunchie out as she went, and looked at the picture of her mom and dad she kept by her bed.
Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling, she crossed the room and picked up the frame, running the tip of her index finger over their faces. Setting it back on the bedside table, she walked into the closet and grabbed her last clean suit.
Laying it on the bed, she looked back at her folks and smiled. “I know it’s not your fault I can see all this shit. Hell, it even helps with my job, but the dreams with the hot guy and the Dragon, those are seriously freakin’ me out.”
