Kisano found it an odd statement. “What do you mean?”

“It means Sephen will have his own ideas about how to convince you to give in to what you both desire most,” Kizoshi clarified. “After all, he isverywell-read and informed. He has a thirst for all kinds of knowledge, including the kind the mages at his temple would not approve of if they were aware of what he hid on his bookshelves.”

The thought of Sephen reading those types of books made the hot burning within him flare. Kisano had to stop those thoughts right there while his two siblings were still in the room. Those were thoughts best left for when he was alone.

“All will work out as it should, Kisano.”

“I can only hope.” Kisano desperately wished his sister was right despite feeling like he didn’t have the right to long for such things.

She stood up, then gestured for Kitsuki to do the same. “We shall leave you to your thoughts. Please do not convince yourself you do not deserve this extraordinary gift you have been blessed with.”

Kisano bowed his head in acknowledgment. “Thank you.”

“All will be well, brother,” Kitsuki promised as he also stood. “Should you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask.”

Kisano thanked them both. “Your advice and guidance are most appreciated.”

Bidding Kisano a pleasant evening, Kizoshi and Kitsuki left him alone in the library. Only after the door closed behind them did Kisano dare to release a sigh. The confusion that followed in the wake of conversations with his sister made his head swim.

No matter how wrong Kisano believed it was to desire Sephen, something inside him clamored to be near the human mage.

Even now, the scent of Sephen remained on Kisano’s clothes. It drove him wild with lust as he remembered what they had done in the mage’s bedroom. He never should have transgressed the boundaries of what was acceptable, but Kisano couldn’t make himself regret crossing that line by kissing Sephen. The memory of their passionate kisses filled Kisano with an increasingly familiar heat burning in his veins.

If Sephen’s early heat scent had pushed Kisano into acting so uncharacteristically, the shifter could only imagine what it would drive him to do at the apex of it. The human already smelled like the best thing in the Living Realm at the beginning of his heat. How could it get any better?

Memories of Sephen’s smell surrounding him as their bodies pressed so close together stirred Kisano’s desires even now. He could hardly believe he had acted bold enough to grow hard in front of Sephen. But he reminded himself Sephen had also been aroused, which made it impossible to regret as their bodies moved together as one.

Kisano retreated to his bedroom attached to the library. It was too disconcerting to have those kinds of thoughts in his sanctuary space. However, alone in his room, it became much harder to avoid the replay in his mind of what it had felt like to pin Sephen down on the bed.

No amount of telling himself it was inappropriate to think of Sephen that way would stop his cock from hardening at the memory of drowning in the mage’s heat scent. He dropped onto his bed with a frustrated groan. No matter how much he tried to distract himself, his thoughts were stuck on a loop.

Fire burned in the pit of Kisano’s stomach, pushing him to take himself in hand. His vivid imagination punished him by graphically picturing what would have happened if he had given in to Sephen’s desires to return with him back to the castle.

In Kisano’s mind, Sephen brought him to stand in front of his shelves of Reskin’s books. The human mage dropped to his knees to suck Kisano’s cock with an appreciative moan. Kisano leaned against the bookshelf, submitting to Sephen’s oral efforts. He threaded his fingers through the human’s white-blond hair as he sighed in pleasure. It didn’t take much for Kisano to come in real life with a shudder.

He stared at the cum in his hand in disbelief. It was wildly inappropriate to think about Sephen in such a way, but itdidn’t stop Kisano from experiencing the ache in his soul, which begged for more.

How was he supposed to resist wanting to claim Sephen for his own?

Chapter 36

Sephen

Waiting a week for his heat to pass before returning to the castle was a new type of hell for Sephen. He couldn’t stop craving another taste of Kisano after having enjoyed a glimpse of how incredible it felt to be with the shifter. His gut told him Kisano would try to play the part of a gentleman and refuse to do anything further with Sephen, but the human mage was determined to change his mind.

It was why Sephen had begged Auslin to return to the castle with him. While Auslin went to have his reunion with the dragon king, Sephen squared his shoulders with a deep breath before entering the library. He didn’t immediately see Kisano, so he explored in search of the dragon shifter. “Hello?”

“Looking for me?”

Sephen spun around to discover Kisano standing behind him with a beautiful smile. It rendered Sephen speechless. He could only nod.

“It is good to see you again,” Kisano said in a honeyed tone, which made Sephen weak in the knees.

Since being bold at the temple had served Sephen well, he acted with more confidence than he normally would. “I missed you, Kisano.” He gave the shifter a bashful look.

To his great delight, Kisano pinned him against the bookshelf to give him a hungry kiss. Sephen wrapped his arms around Kisano’s neck as he kissed back with a needy whimper. It was everything Sephen had hoped for and more.

Kisano trailed kisses down Sephen’s jaw, then licked along the curve of the human’s neck. “How is it you still smell so delectable?” Kisano murmured next to Sephen’s ear. He used his fangs to toy with Sephen’s earlobe, then tugged on it.
