Pleasing Platinum by Xavier Neal

You hate Mondays?
Try finding out that the mother you thought was dead is actually alive, being attacked by elves – who aredefinitely not Santa’s friendly little helpers – and discovering that you’re not nearly as human as you believed you were.
Yeah.
All before five o’clock.
Oh, and just in case all that wasn’t enough to have me reaching for a bottle of wine rather than a glass, it turns out I’m also mated to an ancient dragon.
An ancient dragon who just so happens to be my boss.
Argh.
Any chance this is just one giant cosplay convention I don’t remember registering for?
No?
Well, it’d be irresponsible for me to not at least ask if that were a possibility.
