Chapter 10: His Need To Show Her His Love
“Hello?,” he said. After a few seconds
Is of silence, he tried again. “Luis? Are you there?”
His temper rose and he was about to start yelling, when he finally heard someone speak.
“What are you doing in your father’s office?”
“Nothing!,” Lily said and then hung up.
He put the phone down and waited for a minute. What should he do? Goddess, he knew what he
wanted to do. He wanted to hear her voice again, but would it ruin everything? She had called
him. He hadn’t been the one to initiate contact with her and that was what he wanted, right?
‘Call her back,‘ Gideon encouraged.
Oh, this was fucking great. Gideon was back and he was pushing him to break his promise not to
allow his presence to keep her from living her life. He cursed. He picked his phone up and pressed
redial. The phone rang and her mother answered almost immediately.
“Hello?”
“Put her on the phone,” he ordered.
“It’s for you“.
His heart pounded as he anxiously waited to see if she would talk to him.
“Your Majesty? I am so sorry. It was an-”
“Are you alright?,” he asked, cutting her off.
“Yes. I.. umin..”
“Tell you mother I said to leave the room if you are ufortable.”
“Mama, he said to leave.”
“I don’t-
“Put me on speaker, Lily.”

“Umm.. Mama, how do you put this on speaker?”
“For fuck’s sake,” she cursed. A button was pushed and the sound grated on his nerves. “Your
Majesty, how may
may I help you?”
“Leave. I want to talk to Lily, privately.”
“Yes, Sire.”
He waited to hear the door close. “Lily, do you remember the button she pushed to put it on
speaker?”
“Yes.”
“Push it again, please.”
“Okay, done.”
He sat back in his chair, smiling. “Are you okay?”
She didn’t answer right away.
“Yes, I just.. something happened today and I didn’t know who else to tell and I am sorry I called
you. I know that you are too busy to care about what

es on with me, but there wasn’t anybody else that I wanted to tell and-”
Jly, breathe. It’s okay. You can always call me. I will never tell you that you don’t matter to me.” He
paused when he heard her taking deep breaths. Good girl. Now, from the beginning, please. How
was your day?”
It was okay. How was yours?”
It’s better now,” he answered, honestly. “What happened?
le tapped his fingers on the desk, trying to dispel his rising need to destroy something, while he
waited to find out if he was going to have to kill
omeone or not.
I made a friend today. Her name is Sommer. I’ve never had a friend before.” She fell silent and he
could almost see her blushing. “L. this is stupid. I’m
orry.”
‘It’s not stupid, Lils. I’m very happy you made a friend,” he told her as he picked up a pen to write
the girl’s name down, so he could have her checked sut. “You know, I have a friend. She’s kind of
annoying. I hope Sommer doesn’t annoy you.”
She giggled and he closed d his eyes. Gideon c
cried out in his head. Goddess, did
they want to be with her.
“I’m telling Jo you called her annoying.”
He smiled. “Oh, Goddess, no. Please, no. She’ll beat me up and steal my cookies,” he teased,
feigning terror.
She giggled again and he had to bite the inside of his cheek to stop a moan of pleasure at the way
his body reacted to her voice.
“I’m telling her when she picks me up for school. So, you better hide,” she threatened yfully.
Heughed. She whimpered
“I have to go. Bye, Lukas.”
“Lily, wait!”
He waited for the dial tone and held his breath when it didn’te.
“Lukas?”
“Yes, Lils?”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure, whatever you want.”
“Why haven’t youe t
to see me? Do you not like me anymore?”
lis heart ceased to beat and his chest constricted tightly. Gideon howled in his head.
“Lily, that is not why. I care about you very much. 1.. How was he supposed to say that he couldn’t
be around her out of fear of losing control? He had done it once and he refused to give Gideon the
chance to try again. “Lily, I want to see you, I do.”
“Rut?”
“But I am so busy with the kingdom and-”
“Will youe for my birthday?,” she asked, shyly. “It’s a few months away. That will give you time
to make time toe.”
Well, fuck. Hell yeah he was going if she wanted him, too. If she had asked him toe that day
he would have left as soon as they hung up. He missed her and there was nothing more he wanted
than to visit her.
“Lukas?”

“What day is it?,” he inquired, knowing it was July 16th.
He had already sent her gift to the jeweler to finish.
“July 16th.”
“Do you have ns with your family?”
“Not really. They said they were going to take me out to eat, but that’s it.”
“Where are they taking you?”
“Dragon Ind.”
“Okay. I wille there.”
She fell silent again
and he held his breath. He needed her to say something.
you!
“Okay. Well, I suppose I should let
No. Don’t go. Stay
get back to work now,
Stay for a few more minutes. Give him something to hold onto. He wanted to tell her this. He
wanted to beg. He wanted to say fuck it and just go to her today. His hand fisted,
“Have a good evening, Lily.”
Silence. “Can I call you again?”
“Whenever you want.”
“Okay. Bye, Lukas.”
“Bye, Lily.”
She hung up and he sighed. His grip tightened on the phone.
“I love you. I
you, Lils.”
He put the phone back on the hook andid his head on the desk. He had almost fucked up. He
had almost touched another female. How in the world could anybody everpare to her, when
just her voice set the mate bond off to such heights that all other females ceased to exist in his
eyes. Goddess, he was a fool. He pulled his calendar out and circled her birthday for the millionth
time. He smiled to himself.
“I’ll be there with bells on, My Queen.”
He tapped the pen on the paper when an idea struck him. He knew what he was going to give her
when he saw her. The gift that was already arranged would be something he could give her in front
of people, but this new one would have to be done in private. He picked up the phone again to call
the jeweler.
“Your Majesty, how may I help you?”
“Do you
make diamond casings?”
“I can for
you.
yes. What am I encasing?”
“Something that holds a lot of heat. I’ll bring it byter today.”
“Looking forward to it. Have a good day, Sire.”
Lukas hung up, not bothering to reply. He left his office to go to his bedroom to get his dagger. He
roused Gideon who had disappeared as soon as Lily had hung up.
“I need you to l
to let your scales cover my
cover my body?‘
Chapter 10 His Need To Show Her His Love
“Why?,” he grunted.
“It’s for Lily.”
He needed no other reason to listen. Within seconds his onyx scales covered his chest. Lukas
grabbed a washcloth and shoved it into his mouth. He clutched the dagger in his hand and eyed his
scales. He put the tip of the de under thergest one on his chest and began to dig it out.
Gideon gnashed his teeth together and panted. When he got the scale off, he copsed into a chair,
while Gideon set about heating them.
He ced the scale on the table. The imperfectly rounded scale had rough edges and a slight
discoloration. He ran his fingers over it. This would do beautifully. He hoped she would understand
his message. That nothing is ever perfect and trying to be is a losing battle. Even the dragon’s king
of kings was not perfect. He hoped that she would understand that what she saw as her own
imperfections, he saw as just another perfect part of her to love. The only question that remained as
he looked at his scale was if she would even ept it.
