**Cassius** When we all sat down at the table, Asher needed a word with me, and Caleb needed a chat with Conner. Our dragons are tired of wasting time, so we will not have s*x with anyone but our mates. At first, I was against this, but once I remembered that incident under the bleachers, I agreed. I guess Conner thought he might be too tempted, so he left. Out of the three of us, Conner has always been the one to acquiesce easily. Clint takes Heidi and Lenore into a room, leaving Jessica and me. I can't just tell her that I won’t f**k her anymore. I need to think of a way to stall until I can find my mate. Then I can tell her to fuckoff and she can't do anything about it. Once consummated, the mating bond is sacred among dragons. Many believe that even death can't separate a mated pair.
