Mating Kumiko — Charlie Richards

Graden's Huzza orders him to meet a psychic who may be able to help them locate the missing McDarmund tribe. He's pleasantly surprised to discover that the small human is his mate, especially since he's spent the last two centuries searching for her. It doesn't bother him that her eyes are violet, she's only eighteen, or that she has visions. But Kumiko's mother doesn't believe he's a gargoyle or that her daughter is his mate. The first is easy to prove, the second is a bit harder.

Kumiko's never been attracted to big, bad biker types, even if she does like motorcycles. But because she normally suffers from a vision any time she touches an object that isn't her own, she believes Graden when he tells her she's his mate. After all, if she can't get a vision from her own stuff, it makes sense that she doesn't get a vision from the man who's destined to be a big part of her future. But her mother doesn't believe and gives him an ultimatum, one a two centuries old gargoyle will find incredibly difficult to follow. No sex for two months, while suffering from the intense mating attraction? Will Graden agree to her mother's demands? Or wash his hands of Kumiko?
