    About this ebook

    The dragons will search the universe for their one true mate...

    Grace has a special ability. She senses  paranormal beings. It’s the perfect trait to have as an operative for the Paranormal Detection Agency. A pity her next target, Kadin Marres, doesn’t just trigger her paranormal senses … he triggers her lust too.

    Kadin has been aware of the elusive Grace for some time now and has waited patiently for her. She’s a dragon breeder, and once he finally has her, he isn’t about to give her up. Not even if it means she goes from hunter to hunted.

    Author

    Mel Teshco

    As a rather quiet, introverted child, Mel Teshco would never have believed it possible she'd one day be making a living writing hot, erotic stories and meeting so many other wonderful writers. She can most often be found at her computer, giving into her children and/or cats demands and occasionally/often drinking home brew, which brings out her sociable (i.e. loud) side. Her long-suffering husband is still waiting for retirement. She loves hearing from readers and will answer all emails at meltescho@yahoo.com.au.

      First Chapter of Asher: Dragons of Riddich

      Note: This was a previously published, and now extensively revised story. A prequel to the longer length Dragon of Riddich series.

      Chapter One

      Grace Macintosh moved through the lavish Sydney penthouse suite on silent feet. Even in a pair of sky-high stilettos she’d perfected the art of stealth, but it was an unnecessary skill for this mission.

      She released a taut breath and then consciously began to clack-clack her way across the slate floor, announcing her approach toward the master bedroom. She didn’t want to alert the man waiting for her to the fact she was anything beyond a sexily attired woman, anything but the hooker he’d paid big money for.

      Tonight, beauty was her advantage, sex her ultimate weapon.

      As she neared the bedroom door, Grace took in the sheer opulence of the penthouse.

      Did the bastard even know how good he had it? He’d come out of seemingly nowhere and made his fortune almost overnight to become one of the richest men on the planet. Even the Paranormal Detection Agency she worked for couldn’t find evidence about his past and why he’d so effortlessly become a success.

      Now he expected the very best of everyone, and most especially his bed partners. Once a week he contacted a renowned, exclusive escort service and arranged for a high-class call girl to pay him a visit.

      It had been all too easy for the PDA to replace the service’s receptionist with a mole. All too easy for the mole to give Grace a call and send her in lieu of the real thing.

      Too easy, perhaps?

      Shaking off sudden doubt, she took one more second to summon her wealth of training and steady her nerves before turning the knob. The bedroom door swung open, just as a goliath of a man emerged from the en suite bathroom.

      Grace’s heartbeat kicked up a gear even as her senses hummed, every cell detonating into life as her ability to sense the supernatural flicked on like an internal switch.

      Excitement flared. What was he?

      She licked her lips, the sexual innuendo having little to do with the role she played and everything to do with the buck-naked, gold-skinned Adonis who was her target.

      Kadin Marres—was that even his real name?—billionaire recluse and seasoned womanizer.

      You’re here, he said with husky appreciation.

      It was obvious he’d just had a shower. His shoulder-length, glossy black hair was still wet, his bare shoulders gleaming with moisture beneath the muted lights. But it was his cock, thickening as he openly perused her, that had Grace forgetting her mission for just one moment.

      She tore her stare away from his arousal to meet his amused, gleaming gold-brown eyes. He stepped toward her, and even in heels she had to tilt her chin upward to hold his gaze.

      Damn. The photos hadn’t done him justice.

      She completely understood why more than a handful of operatives had chosen this man as their prime suspect, even without her bizarre ability to identify anything paranormal. Kadin carried an animal quality that was unmistakable and all too primal.

      But a shape shifter? A dragon?

      She inwardly smirked. She and her team had been witness to a lot of fucked-up shit that few humans would ever encounter, but this time her comrades had speculated too far.

      Dragon, my ass!

      Kadin trailed his fingers down her cheek, bringing her back to the present like a cold slap to the face. Except his touch was searing hot and gave her pleasure, not pain. She had to resist pushing her head into his large palm like a satisfied cat as he murmured, I was told you were beautiful, but I never for one moment imagined you’d be this stunning.

      His words fed an ego starved for praise and a wild frisson of need shot straight to her core, moist heat dewing between her thighs. It didn’t take any acting ability to offer him a seductive smile. I’m glad you approve.

      His eyes flashed with interest and restraint. Then he too smiled, revealing age-old arrogance wrapped up in a too-gorgeous body. You hardly need to be told, do you?

      A little hidden piece of herself—the insecure, old self—screamed yes! She swallowed back the almost-forgotten emotion and said huskily, I have a mirror. Her eyes dipped to his straining cock. Just the same as you.

      His hand moved under her chin, lifting her gaze back to his heated stare. I’m not really into my own reflection, but I’m not averse to seeing more of you. His hand dropped to clasp one of hers and then, stepping backward, he
