Tears of the Dragon by Cara Wylde

A myth twisted through the centuries,
A prophecy that survived history,
A cure no one dared to touch…

She seeks the Golden Fleece…
As a researcher and professor of Mythology and Folklore at Harvard University, Aileen Callas wants to do much more than tell her students some old, barely authentic stories. She wants to prove the myths are real. After all, one of these ancient myths saved her life as a child. A dark prophecy warns against prying. Undeterred, Aileen assembles a team of investigators and sets on a journey in pursuit of the truth.

Cursed to guard an ancient treasure…
Isolated in the mountains, bound to an old, powerful object, Drakon has lost all sense of time and space. He was waiting for something, but he can’t remember what. Or, was it someone? If only he could sleep for an hour, if only he could close his eyes and dream, maybe it would all come back to him: his true name, his mission, his humanity, the memory of her…

Unaware of the danger, Aileen steps into the dragon’s cave.

Lured by her beauty, Drakon can’t decide if he wants to turn her into dinner, or sweep her off her feet.

He wants to eat her (in more ways than one), she wants to save him.

But there are vile men on Aileen’s trail, and all they want is to kill the dragon, steal the Golden Fleece, and get rid of the expert in Greek Mythology.

Tears of the Dragon is a full, standalone novella, with a happily-ever-after, and NO cliffhangers. Intended for readers 18+

Excerpt (Spicy)

This was insane! A couple of hours ago, this man had tried to kill her. Burn her alive. Now, his lips were inching closer and closer to her left nipple, and Aileen was allowing him to lick it, tease it, suck it into his mouth. She moaned and arched her back. She couldn’t believe her own reactions to his touches, her own openness to him. The bed of leaves he had prepared for her did little to protect the still sensitive skin on her back from the cold, rough floor of the cave. Somehow, the slight pain could barely register in her heated brain. Drakon was swirling the tip of his tongue around her nipple, over and over, and Aileen found it difficult to focus on anything else but him. She should have been worried about the sacrifice, about the promise she’d just made to him, about her team being attacked in the middle of the night… So many things to worry about, so many problems to solve, yet all she could do was pull at Drakon’s hair, massage his scalp as he played with her nipples, and press his head harder against her breasts. Problems and sacrifices could wait. Right now, all she could focus on was him and the way his eyes sparkled and his pale skin glowed in the dim light of the candles spread all over the floor.Satisfied with the hardness of both her nipples, Drakon kissed his way down her stomach and belly until he reached her mound. He stopped to enjoy her scent and run his hands over her hips and thighs. Her curves were amazing! Her skin was tanned and soft, and every time he cupped her butt or her breasts, he loved the sensation of having his hands full. He could knead and massage, and Aileen would respond with moans and deep, loud breaths. His cock was so hard that he could barely hold himself back. He wanted to turn her around, on her stomach, lift her hips in the air, and enter her in one swift motion. His body was screaming at him to do it, but he knew he had to take things slowly. Drakon wanted to enjoy every minute of this. He could never know when the bliss of having Aileen would be taken away by fate.“Please,” she whispered.

Drakon smiled. He knew what she wanted. He had been hovering over her glistening folds for a minute, and she was growing impatient. He licked his lips in anticipation, then closed his eyes and let the tip of his tongue run from her entrance up to her clit. She tasted delicious.

“Oh… oh, yes…”

Excerpt (PG)

“Annie, this is Ram. Ram, this is Annie.”
She felt an awareness that told her this man meant something to her. “Pleased to meet you,” She said and held out her hand. Ram gripped it and a shock went through her whole body. Her eyes widened in surprise and so did his.
“Is it hot in here or is it just me?” Cam asked with a nervous chuckle.
“Cam, excuse us for a moment and shut the door on your way out,” Ram instructed.
Annie thought that it was weird for Ram to throw Cam out of his office like that. She heard the door close and now they were alone. Ram used her hand to pull her up against him and his arms wrapped around her. His lips dropped to hers and he kissed her gently. “You feel it too, don’t you?” He asked.
She nodded. This man was hers. It seemed her spell had worked after all. Whatever the spell had done, had probably caused him to be here. How would he feel when he found out what she had done? It couldn’t be too bad if it had led them to each other, right?
He kissed her again, except this time it wasn’t sweet or gentle. It was a claiming kiss that left her in no doubt as to who she belonged to or what he wanted. It left her feeling raw and needy. It also made her wish they were alone in bed anywhere they wouldn’t be disturbed.
“I woke up this morning nude on a beach. Do you know anything about that?” He asked.

Will love triumph over a bunch of enraged shifters?

Excerpt (Spicy)

His heart pounding, and his senses on high alert, Atreides took her in his arms and kissed her soundly. With a soft sigh, her mouth opened to him as his hands stroked her back, pressing her trembling body to his. He then pushed her against the green wall, his caresses becoming frantic. His fingers inched under the hem of her shirt, pulling the fabric out, freeing her skin to his touch. Like a fever, his desire grew and swelled, leaving him finally breathless.

She moaned when his hands skimmed the side of her breast. The lace of her bra was a barrier he didn’t care for, and his finger hooked underneath the elastic, moving it over the swell of her breast. Her softness filled his hand, and it made him groan in her mouth. He played with her nipple and was rewarded by her short gasp when he pinched the taut nub. His other hand followed a path down her navel, then slipped inside her jeans, brushing her over her panties. She pushed against his hand, and that was all the invitation he needed to lower the fabric and search for the warmth of her core. Ariel was ready for him, and he let his finger hover over her folds before pushing inside her. Her cry of pleasure sent him into a frenzy, and Atreides had to fight the need to tear her clothes apart. His throbbing hardness demanded relief, and he was losing control fast.

Leaning away, Ariel looked at him from under hooded lids, her lips red and swollen, and he couldn’t help but imagine her naked, bared to his sight. Her hand left the nape of his neck and skimmed his shirt, caressing his chest, then following the ridges of his pectorals, she traced patterns with her fingers. Finally, she hooked her hand under his belt, fingers reaching for the hair dusting his lower abdomen.

Her lips curved into a smile when she found no boxers underneath the jeans as if she had expected as much from him. Upon contact, Atreides thrust into her hand that felt like a glove around him, caressing him in time with his grunts, and he caressed her in return. As a second finger joined the first, she grew wetter, and her small cries and moans filled his ears, robbing him of his ability to reason.

They pleasured each other, in a tangle of hands, mouths, bodies dancing to a rhythm only they could hear. Their tongues clashed, and their kisses grew wild. Their touches became unrestrained as their pleasure mounted, rising until only the crescendo building deep inside them existed.

Ariel shattered first, and Atreides cried her name a heartbeat later. Spent, he moved his lips over hers in a more sedated kiss, feeling the need to cuddle her.

Then reality intruded…
