    Summary

    The mission was clean. The paperwork wasn’t. The silence in the stairwell was too much, and the worst part is—you still didn’t tell him. But Sylus has always known how to reach you anyway, because sometimes love sounds like static on the line and a voice that stays, even when everything else feels like too much.

    Summary

    He barely sucks a breath in before the crash. The water swooshes up around him. His body plunges into the depths at the center. The moon is dark tonight - there is no direction to guide him to the surface. All around him: inky black, burning his eyes.

    His wings are useless. They could perhaps be used as fins to propel him, but he's never tried before. Never been in the ocean before.

    The young dragon writhes and squirms like prey caught in a spider's web. There's no traction to gain. Nothing he can sink his claws into. His tail lashes about in wild arcs.

    Something giggles beside him.

    Summary

    Ferrying passengers and cargo between the mainland and the outlying islands is your family's livelihood. Life at sea holds its surprises, yet the routines remain reassuring — docking and departing, tourist antics, more docking and departing...

    And there's the seal of course — the local celebrity trailing the ferry each day as though he's on the payroll. You think it might have been brought about by giving into his every whim and accidentally becoming his favorite person to be around in the process. But who would’ve guessed the truth, that he's actually a selkie who's spent years shadowing you, believing himself to be escorting his chosen bride all along?

    Summary

    You wake up slow. Warmth surrounds you, bringing with it security. Even as consciousness catches up with you, you feel no need to open your eyes to check your surroundings. You know exactly what you'll find there, and you know nothing could possibly hurt you here. And yet, perfectly safe behind dozens of security measures, you bleed.

    That's what really wakes you up; the wet, slick feeling between your legs. Your heart drops into your stomach with a resounding thunk. Already, you know it's too late. You know Aunt Flo got the drop on you this time.

    Summary

    You stare unashamed at the contours and divots of Sylus's body. The curves of his pecks and abs, separated by valleys and defined lines. The way they shift with every breath. And the shape of his torso - broad shoulders that narrow into his pretty little waist, his hips a prominent separation point where they dip in, leading to his muscular thighs and long legs.

    He watches you with a confident smirk, smug satisfaction written all over him. He knows you like his body - he's glad you like his body. The way your eyes drag across his skin has him preening under the attention. He craves it. Adores it. Basks in your appraisal like a lizard under the sun.

    "You're going to start drooling soon, sweetie," he teases.
