Nate isn't the sort of dragon who knows how to make connections with others... At least, not very easily. Whereas that may be true for many in the world, the drake tires of jumping from one dalliance to another, never lingering for all that long.
How long can he keep doing that for? On and on and on and on? Well, he may well have. If not for Leland.
He pursued him, chased him, thinking he was simply in it for the hunt alone. But there's something that catches him about the other dragon, making him want to do more than simply take Leland into his bed. When the morning after comes, after explosive passion, he doesn't usher Leland out the door.
On the contrary, he wants him to stay. He wants more, even as the drake's arms encircle him and he is kissed good morning.
Opening himself up to genuine intimacy and connection may be the hardest thing Nate's ever done...and the best thing.
