Manhandled Monday

Three dragons in one dorm room… This is about to get interesting. 😉

Whose bright idea had it been to stick three dragon-shifters in one dorm suite? Never mind their widely disparate ages, their diverse backgrounds, or their differing abilities. The three of them had been piled into a dorm suite with three small bedrooms off a postage-stamp-size common room and told to work it out.

Blau mulled this over as his two roommates argued about who would be forced to sleep in the middle, smallest bedroom. He would be arguing too, except there seemed to be little logic involved, and he detested argument for argument’s sake. Particularly when it was hot enough to fry an egg on his forehead.

Sitting on the lumpy three-quarter couch with his luggage stacked to his right, Blau watched the Chinese land dragon, Chen, step into the water dragon’s space and smile. To his credit, the water dragon didn’t flinch.

“You should take the middle room, lizard. You’re the smallest.”

That was true. As a rule, dragons stood five foot ten in human form, but if James, the water dragon, was five foot eight, then he just barely reached that. A matter of two inches meant he’d be smaller in dragon guise as well, and probably by at least a foot.

Chen went on, “When Russian Blue over there graduates in December, you can have his room.”

“Who are you calling lizard, you papier-mâché excuse for a --”

Chen punched him.

Blau rose, thinking he would have to separate the whippersnappers. But James backed down as blood spurted from his nose.

“All right, all right. I’ll take it.” He wiped his nose on his hand, and Blau was surprised to see only a little blood there despite the geyser of moments ago. He is a fast healer. That wasn’t true of all dragons, but the water dragons did have that tendency.

If I were a gentleman, Blau thought, I’d offer to take the small room.

But he couldn’t imagine cramming all his books into such a tiny space. James Tavery would have to make do.

Chen glanced at Blau. “Are you going to defend him?”

Blau realized he’d balled his hands into fists. “No, although I detest bullies. If you aren’t careful, lizard, you’ll find yourself on the wrong end of my liking.”

“You speak English like a foreigner.”

“Says the Chinese,” snapped James as he hauled one of his two trunks toward the center bedroom.

Blau passed by Chen and picked up the other end of James’s trunk. “Ignore him. He is only feeling threatened because there are two of us and one of him.”

“You’re not a water dragon,” James said without heat.

“No, but closer to water than land. Ice dragons swim in the coldest seas and skate the ice floes.” He helped James set the trunk at the foot of a narrow, rickety bed. “Let us get the second one. Then you may help me move my things.”

Three men and the dragons they love confront their fears to find forever in each other’s arms…

 

Russian Blau: Ice dragon Blau Lepa seeks nothing more or less than to be a professor at SearchLight Academy. He’s wanted to teach his whole life, and considers it a sacred calling. When he meets Professor Rob Boyle, he’s instantly attracted, but they're both convinced that teachers and students shouldn’t have sex, not to mention that Blau’s afraid to bond with a human who will pass away so quickly. Eventually Rob gives in to his attraction and finds being dominated by Blau fills him with soaring desires and heals his wounded heart. But is that enough to make him decide to throw away his humanity and accept magical powers so that he can spend all eternity with his lover?

 

American Telepath: James is a water dragon who fell in love with a human. Rather than expose that human to a dangerous magical world, James abandons Henry. When they meet again it’s like they were never separated. Except Henry refuses -- beyond the occasional bang -- to have anything to do with James. Together they struggle to overcome the past.

 

Chinese Morning: Travis longs to remain in the magical world which has given him so much pleasure. The only problem: he’s terrible at his job, and without his job he cannot stay. To distract himself, he seeks out the challenge of sexually dominating a dragon. As Chen falls for Travis’s mouth and hands and mind, he is forced to accept the truth: submission is where he’s meant to be. Will their attraction be enough to rescue them?
