I was supposed to seduce the dragon king, but before I could, he claimed me as his. Now I’m chained to him, trapped in an ancient mating process I neither want nor understand. I’ve got to get out, but there’s only one way to do that now—and it involves a much more permanent type of shackle.

Whenever something in life makes me tilt my head and ask, “what are you?”, I press record. I talk like nobody’s listening. Curious, funny, occasionally philosophical… I’m just a human guy recording stories into a mic while my slightly surreal life happens around me. Sometimes it starts with something small: a strange thought, an awkward moment, or something a little too private and candid.

When the massive bone dragon from the prison island recomposes sooner than expected and escapes, it's clear that I have to get Kadoc's bloodlust under control for the both of us.

It's all a matter of opinion, but Carter's day is going pretty badly. He's an engineer captured by bug aliens, now depending on his large, muscled, naked cage mates for food and warmth. They seem sentient, so that's good. But they're also handsy. Which is...complicated. The military isn't looking for him. Slaves taken by the bug race never come back. Yet, Carter is very much alive, and if he wants to stay that way, he'll need to trust Pykh and Siel, two affectionate aliens with claws, teeth, and size.

We have to fight our urges to finish the bond he started between us, or we risk connecting ourselves permanently.

I hooked up with my twin sister's brother-in-law under the full moon… and ended up mated to him. Did I mention that he's a stoic, grumpy a-hole? Or that he abducted me and locked me in his gigantic mansion in the forest? Yeah, okay, so things could be worse. But an accidental mate bond isn't for the faint of heart. There are things to figure out and verbal battles to be fought, but one thing is for sure: For better or worse, there's no way out of this relationship.
