Chapter 9

Matthew

Jessica hasn’t been herself the last few days, and I’m worried it’s my fault. I haven’t been there for her as much as I should have been. I haven’t been the supportive, caring man she needs. Instead, I’ve been overwhelmed with learning how to be a father and figuring out how my new job is going to work. I haven’t been paying her as much attention as she needs, and I can see the stress she’s been feeling.

It wasn’t until Jessica went for her flight tonight that I realized she felt unwanted.

Brooke was actually the one who pointed out. The fact that my six-year-old daughter had to tell me how to be a mate is embarrassing enough, but knowing that Jessica was hurting and I had no idea is devastating to me.

She’s going to fly. Jessica only goes to fly at night when she’s feeling sad. Why is Jessica sad, Daddy?

It hit me like a ton of bricks. Jessica and I have been intimate. We’ve kissed and touched and explored, but we haven’t truly bonded to each other the way a dragon is supposed to. We haven’t had that moment of intimacy where we feel our hearts merge into one.

We haven’t because I’ve had so many other things to do that I’ve neglected the most important person I’ve ever met in my life. I haven’t been there for Jessica, and that breaks my heart. I know tonight isn’t going to erase the pain I’ve caused her, but I plan to spend the rest of my life making things up to her.

I plan to spend the rest of my life worshipping her body, taking care of her, loving her.

I’m going to spend the rest of my life adoring her.

Luckily, my parents were overjoyed at the request to babysit Brooke on short notice. My mother actually squealed with delight when she found out she was going to get to spoil her granddaughter for an entire night. Even though I’ve only been a father for a short time, I’m already worried about how much sugar my mother is going to shove into the little dragon child.

Whether or not my mother gives my child cavities tonight, I’m lucky that Brooke is safe and protected and cared for this evening while I make sure that Jessica is also safe and protected and cared for.

I carry Jessica into the jungles of Dragon Isle. This area is really more of a forest, actually, while the areas in the center of the island are solidly jungle. There are some places on Dragon Isle you can only access if you fly, which is one of the most wonderful things about being a dragon here, of all places. When you’re a dragon on Dragon Isle, you can fly anywhere you like. Other shifters aren’t banned from living on the island, but this haven was created specifically for dragons. Some shifters on the island live off in caves in the middle of the jungle, while others have built incredible mansions on different parts of the island.
