Enukara
Series Book 1
by
Nina R. Schluntz
Genre:
M/M Fantasy Romance
A
simple act of kindness from a human toward a dragon triggered the
Enukara–giving the human the ability to heal the wounds of others.
The dragon bonded to him was granted immortality. The price for this
gift was simple. The dragon’s life was bound to the human.
The
power he inherited was unfathomable. He hunted and killed every
immortal who had slain an Enukara. A new Enukara emerges who
challenges the mindset of the immortal dragon and the Enukara hopes
to alter the fate of humanity, by showing the dragon how to love once
again.

Jonas
appeared, placing himself squarely in Zackariah’s path. “May
I have a word?” He’d
managed to avoid him the entire day, but he’d known this was likely
to happen once he’d come downstairs. Iliandra glared at Jonas, but
he seemed immune to her. “Speak,”
Zackariah said, unsure of the response Jonas wanted. “Privately,”
Jonas said. He held up a hand to stop Iliandra from whatever
objection she might have. “I know what I said before, but I’d
like a moment to clear the air.” What
the hell had he said before?
Iliandra growled, but kept her anger directed at Jonas, not glancing
up once at Zackariah. “Do
whatever,” Iliandra said. Zackariah watched her stomp off then he
backed into the room and gestured for Jonas to enter. He wondered if
he should ask the other Enukaras if they wanted a word with him as
well, so the favoritism wouldn’t be as apparent. Jonas shut the
door and cleared his throat. “Thank
you,” Jonas said. “Do
you have another string of confessions to make?” Zackariah asked,
wondering what the man could possibly want to say to him after
yesterday’s profession of infatuation. “An
apology,” Jonas said. “I wanted to apologize if my comments from
yesterday made you uncomfortable. I noticed you’ve been avoiding me
and I don’t want you to think—I just.” He
grew pale and blinked quickly. He seemed to have forgotten whatever
it was he had wanted to say. He decided to throw the man a bone. “Yes,”
Zackariah said. Jonas’
health didn’t improve, but he managed a quick, “Yes to?” “Yes,
to dragons kissing,” Zackariah said. He shook his head, unable to
believe he was actually having this conversation. Don’t
worry Chrissy, I’ll give your son the birds and bees talk about how
dragons do it. “We
do. Not in dragon form, for obvious reasons, and maybe we don’t do
it as much as humans, but we do…kiss.” “I’ve
sort of moved past that question,” Jonas said. Zackariah
crossed his arms and stood straighter. “Really? So you don’t want
to know if I want to kiss you?” “I-I
never asked you that.” “Do
you want to?” “Do
you want to kiss me?” Jonas asked. “Yes.”
The two of them sounded more like they were discussing the weather
than their sexual desires, and Jonas looked about to faint. Zackariah
eyed the door, steeling himself for another quick escape. Let the kid
chew on this factoid overnight, and sort out what he really wanted. “Then
do it,” Jonas said. “Kiss me.” What?
He looked at the pale, panic-stricken man standing before him.
Zackariah stepped closer, certain Jonas would flinch or pull away. Afraid
his touch would result in a cringe, he kept his arms folded and
pressed his lips lightly against Jonas’ full awaiting mouth. It was
the kind of quick peck you’d give your grandmother, only Zackariah
didn’t pull away immediately. Jonas pushed, increasing the pressure
of the touch. Jonas opened his mouth and ran his tongue across
Zackariah’s lips. He
knew he should stop. End this little dare right then, but instead, he
opened his mouth, and Jonas went in. His tongue explored Zackariah’s
mouth, fearless and eager. Human tongues were different, sluggish and
thick, and Zackariah wondered if their dicks were as well. He pressed
his tongue against Jonas’ and was rewarded with a deep moan from
Jonas’ throat. He
couldn’t remember ever kissing Selina with such thought behind it,
mindful of his every move, hyperaware of everything the person
touching him was doing. The man pushed his body closer against
Zackariah. He took his wet tongue back and gently tugged on
Zackariah’s lower lip. Jonas opened his eyes and Zackariah stared
into the same pools of blue he’d seen that night when Chrissy had
introduced him to her children. Those eyes, still full of desire and
fearless of the beast before him. Jonas
pulled his head back, the contact broken. He made no move to do
anything else. Zackariah had no idea how to proceed anyway. “We
done here?” Zackariah asked, resuming his normal cold demeanor. “It
would seem that way,” Jonas said. He felt the disappointment surge
through him. Rejection? It bounced off Jonas and Zackariah would have
sensed it even if he wasn’t feeling his emotions. “You…want
this?” Zackariah asked. “I’m
not sure what ‘this’ is, but if you mean you, then yes,” Jonas
said. “You’re
not mine,” Zackariah said. He wasn’t stupid. He knew how
protective a dragon was of their Enukara. He would need her
permission, and then there was the human fiancé. “Marcus?” Jonas asked. “I have a
fiancé.” He acted like he’d forgotten about that tidbit. “And
you belong to a different dragon,” Zackariah said. “I don’t
have any right to touch you.” “That’s
what this is? You want to touch me, you want me?” Jonas thumped on
his own chest. “But you won’t because I’m not your Enukara?” “Yes,”
Zackariah said. The response had been impulsive, and even Jonas
seemed to be in denial now. “You
want me?” “Yes.”
How was this confusing? “Show
me,” Jonas said. Zackariah glanced at the door. They’d been alone
too long. Jonas moved to stand in his view. “Right now, you’re
saying things, but you aren’t acting like you want me. That kiss
has got to be the least sexual encounter I’ve had since my
grandmother kissed me when I was a baby.” It
had been the most intimate thing Zackariah had ever done. How could
Jonas proclaim it to be otherwise? His brain didn’t process his
reaction, but his body did, rebelling against the idea of
disappointing yet another mate. His
actions weren’t as practiced this time. He kissed him and pressed
his body against the man. He felt Jonas’ erection as he pressed his
own against the man. He growled and Jonas reacted the opposite of
what he should have. He wrapped his arms around him, even his legs,
as if trying to climb him. He kissed him harder and if possible,
Zackariah thought the man would have crawled right up inside him.
Jonas pressed his cock against Zackariah’s belly and ground it
against him as Zackariah moved one hand under him to support Jonas. Jonas
pulled his head away from Zackariah’s mouth and uttered a series of
short gasps. Zackariah didn’t want to stop touching him, he needed
to keep his lips on the man. He kissed his neck and felt Jonas’
entire body react in shivers of pleasure from the touch. His
mind buzzed with the high of feeling Jonas’ desire. His lust and
want for Zackariah, for this. He didn’t know what to do, but he
wanted to push Jonas higher, feel the rush of endorphins push them
both to climax. “Don’t
stop, oh, God, don’t stop,” Jonas said. His breathing came in
short bursts and Zackariah knew he was close. This is what he’d
needed that night in the cave. He needed Jonas to come, and he needed
it now. He bit his teeth into Jonas’ neck in an effort to push him
over the edge. “Get
off him!” Iliandra’s voice broke the trance and his mind
struggled to reclaim control. She was hitting him before he could
figure out how to react. He managed to grab her arms, but she still
kicked. He held her against the wall and those eyes full of way too
much hate, glared into his soul. Jonas was not his. He remembered the
fury he’d felt when someone had touched Chrissy. Iliandra was
justified in her hate. “Stop
it, stop,” Zackariah said. She ceased her squirming. “He’s
not yours,” Iliandra said. “I
know. He asked me to touch him.” Her
body surged with another bout of anger and she kicked at him. He
moved one arm across her neck and pushed. “I
would never hurt him. You have my word.” Her
eyes continued to make threats. He spoke softer. “I want him.” The
fight seemed to leave her, but the hate was still there. He
let go of her and she went to stand between them, blocking Jonas.
Jonas said nothing, no objection to the interruption or gratitude for
it. Zackariah
turned and left, resisting the urge to go back as he felt Jonas’
desires intensify. Jonas needed to have a conversation with his
dragon before Zackariah could dare do something like that again.

Ellis and Wyatt believe the dragons have more potential than
humankind give them. When they discover an escaped dragon in their
barn, they know she’ll be killed if returned to her owners. They
decide to take matters into their own hands and ask a drifter they
met at a bar for help. He’s rumored to be a dragon whisperer and
might just be the one to help the dragons rediscover who they are.
