She had no idea where he was going with his line of questioning but answered. “It’s mine now.”
“And what are you doing with it?”
“Well… nothing. I’ve been away too long to bother. Everything’s locked up tight. Waiting for me to come home, I guess…”
She was lying a little bit. Her father’s estate wasn’t locked up exactly. The staff still lived there and kept it up. When she was stateside she called regularly to talk to the caretaker, Walt. Conversations were as much about her life as they were about the continued smooth running of the estate. Her father had left her enough money to keep it going for at least her lifetime, if not longer. Maybe she had been away too long?
She rolled over and looked up into Geva’s eyes. “I get it. You guys all have a legacy. Lucky bunch you are, I have to say. I wonder what happens to orphaned dragons.”
Geva’s brow creased in confusion. “Orphans. Rare enough, but they happen. They’re provided for.”
Erika thought he seemed a little uncertain about his answer, but dismissed it. She wanted to ask him more, but got a little distracted by his exquisite tongue finding its way between her thighs yet again.
Yeah, she could deal with that for a few centuries, and who cared about the rest of the world?

Geva, a member of the dragon queen’s Court has two desires: to make Erika happy and to convince the adventurous archaeologist to stay put long enough to bear his child, the singular thing most dragons crave upon leaving hibernation.
They return to Geva’s ancestral home, and in the process of exploring his dead mother’s journals, Geva and Erika discover a secret his parents kept that could change the lives of all dragons. But in order uncover the details of the secret and get what they both want, the two lovers must compromise.

About Ophelia Bell
Ophelia Bell loves a good bad-boy and especially strong women in her stories. Women who aren’t apologetic about enjoying sex and bad boys who don’t mind being with a woman who’s in charge, at least on the surface, because pretty much anything goes in the bedroom.
Ophelia grew up on a rural farm in North Carolina and now lives in Los Angeles with her own tattooed bad-boy husband and four attention-whoring cats.
Branded
Nora Ash
Being different was never easy.
After 27 years of living as a social outcast, Selma had become quite accustomed to the isolation and lack of dreams for a happy future. What she’d never gotten used to were the demons she saw—the dangerous creatures masquerading as humans, blending into the regular world as if they belonged.
No one else ever saw what she did—not when she was younger, and not the night she was attacked by horned monsters, losing the precarious grasp on her already damaged mind.
Trapped in a mental hospital, Selma’s only hope of gaining back her life is a young psychiatrist with smoldering looks and some very disturbing ideas for her treatments. If she is ever to see the outside world again, she must submit to him.
But he is one of them—and his intentions are far more devious than they appear.
