The Grumpy Gargoyle's Mating Mark

She stole a slice of pie from the grumpiest gargoyle in Saltford Bay.

Coach Bram Stryge answered with a moonlit flight, a dare, and an offer of a spanking aimed at her attitude.

She left his bed at dawn, determined to keep her standards and her strict rule against coworkers.

A gargoyle mates only once, with the bond forming at a touch and lasting for life.

Bram woke bearing a mating mark, and the mate it named was her.
