That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon

Though she has no idea how to stop him, Cinnamon heads toward Fallon, freeing a group of demons as she goes. They are amazed at her bravery and offer to take her as a mate until Fallon lands nearby and scares them off. Cinnamon is covered in blood, and with the ease of his powerful form, Fallon picks her up, flies to a townhouse balcony, and, back in human form, carries her to a washroom, where Cinnamon is amazed to discover a bath with warm running water.

Fallon’s dragon form is exhausting for him, so Cinnamon helps him bathe, feeling oddly protective. Fallon senses her affection, but when he points it out, she pulls away, frightened. After losing her sister, she wants nothing to do with adventure after this quest, and she fears Fallon will get sick of her once she realizes how boring her life is. Fallon admits he doesn’t know how to be part of a family, but “when I look at you, it makes me want to try” (149). After opening up to each other, Fallon and Cinnamon are intimate, with Fallon pleasuring Cinnamon repeatedly and gaining his own release with the promise he will have her next time.
