"Oh, I have lots to share. But later." She stepped back and finished undressing. The desire burning in Finn's eyes gave her the courage to do it as quickly as possible.
When she was done, she moved back between his legs and tossed up his kilt. Taking his hard cock in hand, sh
e stroked a few times. "I want to have you inside me first. Then we can tease and play."
As she straddled Finn's thighs, his hands went to her hips. His eyes never moved from hers. "Take what you want from me, lass. I'm yours, always."
For a second, Arabella couldn't believe Finlay Stewart was her mate. But then her dragon spoke up. Of course he is. He should be lucky to have us.
Finn rubbed his thumbs against the skin of her hips and murmured, "Tell your dragon she can have me later. Right now, I'm yours, Arabella."
Raising her hips, she positioned Finn's cock at her entrance and slowly sank down. She was glad to be on a form of birth control, because she loved feeling his long, hard length as she took him in.
Once she had him to the hilt, she leaned forward and nipped his jaw. "Then take me, Finn, and show me how much you love me."
With a growl, Finn flipped them over and pressed one of her legs back. "After I'm done, you'll never doubt how much you mean to me."
Finn took her lips in a rough kiss. As he moved his hips and devoured her mouth, Arabella forgot about everything but her mate—the strong, wonderful male who made her laugh and treasured her as much as any dragonman could.
As she screamed his name, it also served as a reminder to the world that Finn was her true mate, partner, and love of her life. No matter what happened in the future, they would have each other. And there was nothing they couldn't tackle together.

Did you enjoy this story? Then please consider leaving a review. :)
I hope you enjoyed Finn and Arabella's follow-up story. Between Freya and Holly and Fraser's twin girls, I think the future is going to have a lot of strong, adventurous females on Lochguard! The next story in my Lochguard series will be about Alistair Boyd and will be called The Dragon's Discovery. While waiting for that story, you may want to check out my science fiction romance series. I'll include an excerpt from the first book, The Conquest, after my Author's Note. And to stay up-to-date on information, you may want to join my newsletter.
Author’s Note
Thanks for continuing Finn and Arabella’s journey. I sense more for them in the future, but we'll see when that happens!
I know this book ended up being about all the MacKenzies, in addition to Finn and Arabella, but they're all tied together in a way. It also helped to tidy up quite a few dangling threads (Holly's pregnancy, Fergus and Gina's mate-claim frenzy) as well as to remind readers that Finn needed to both send a foster candidate to Stonefire and to allow someone from the Department of Dragon Affairs to come observe his clan. The person coming from the DDA will be the heroine of the next Lochguard book, The Dragon's Discovery. She's going to surprise Alistair Boyd in a quite a few ways. And because it's Alistair's book, you'll get to see more of his over-the-top mother and her crazy beaus. That book will be out in late September or early October 2018, provided nothing extreme happens. (And while I can't always control my imagination, I sense Alistair's book will lead to one of two other stories: Chase McFarland and Dr. Layla MacFie's, or Cat MacAllister and Lachlan MacKinnon's. Both have been hinted at in previous books, so we'll see which ends up being book seven!)
Okay, with that out of the way I have some people I need to thank for helping me to get this book out to the world:
To Becky Johnson and her team at Hot Tree Editing—you all are amazing. Becky gets me and helps my stories shine.
To Clarissa Yeo of Yocla Designs—you yet again designed a beautiful cover that captures my couple and the hecticness of their family perfectly. I couldn’t imagine my series without your magic.
To Donna H., Alyson S., Iliana G., Sabrina D., and Sandy H.—My beta readers are amazing and provide valuable honesty. Not only that, they catch the little typos that slip through. All of you are appreciated more than you know. <3
And as always, I thank you, the reader, for supporting my dragons this long. When I first published Healed by the Dragon I had no idea that I’d be writing another story about Finn and Arabella three years later! Thanks a million times from my heart for not only reading, but for also spreading the word. Word-of-mouth is more powerful than you think. And if you want a whole new way to experience my dragons, then maybe check out my audiobooks. There’s nothing better than listening to my narrators and their takes on dragon-shifters for hours… ;)
My next release will be The Forbidden (Kelderan Runic Warriors #4), out in August 2018. However, if you’re curious about my dragons, The Dragon's Discovery (Lochguard Highland Dragons Dragons #6, about Alistair Boyd), will be out in September/October 2018.
Thanks so much for reading and I hope to see you at the end of the next book!
The Conquest
(Kelderan Runic Warriors #1)
Leader of a human colony planet, Taryn Demara has much more on her plate than maintaining peace or ensuring her people have enough to eat. Due to a virus that affects male embryos in the womb, there is a shortage of men. For decades, her people have enticed ships to their planet and tricked the men into staying. However, a ship hasn’t been spotted in eight years. So when the blip finally shows on the radar, Taryn is determined to conquer the newcomers at any cost to ensure her people’s survival.
Prince Kason tro de Vallen needs to find a suitable planet for his people to colonize. The Kelderans are running out of options despite the fact one is staring them in the face—Planet Jasvar. Because a group of Kelderan scientists disappeared there a decade ago never to return, his people dismiss the planet as cursed. But Kason doesn’t believe in curses and takes on the mission to explore the planet to prove it. As his ship approaches Jasvar, a distress signal chimes in and Kason takes a group down to the planet’s surface to explore. What he didn’t expect was for a band of females to try and capture him.
As Taryn and Kason measure up and try to outsmart each other, they soon realize they’ve found their match. The only question is whether they ignore the spark between them and focus on their respective people’s survival or can they find a path where they both succeed?
