Page 35 of His Greatest Treasure

He fluttered his eyelashes at me, which made my dick perk up again, just when it had been starting to go down. Blaze noticed, but I didn’t feel embarrassed about it.

“It feels good to kiss youeverywhere.”

I wasn’t sure whether he meant me to read so much innuendo into that simple sentence.

“Can we stay like this for a while longer? I don’t want to go back to the castle.”

Blaze rested his head on my shoulder again. “Yes, my darling. We can stay like this a while longer.”

Chapter 15

Blaze

Icouldn’t wait for Alfie to come back. He’d been gone longer than usual and even though I tried to tell myself not to worry, I couldn’t help but imagine all sorts of scenarios in which he needed my help and I wasn’t there. I needed to go and see him.

Waiting for Alfie to sneak out to me was always the longest part of the day. As soon as he left, I wanted to see him again.

I’d never wanted to be around another person this much before. It was driving me a bit mad, actually. I couldn’t think straight. I’d written it off as lust, since he’d kissed me and I’d burned hot with arousal, like I was being consumed by my ownflames, even though I was in my human form. I’d never felt anything like it.

It had taken all of my control to stop and give Alfie the space he needed. I’d wanted to slide down and take his dick in my mouth and make him come down my throat so I could taste him. His mouth was sweet and I was desperate to taste the salt of his come, too. The perfect combination.

He’d needed time to get used to it, though, and I’d given it to him. Luckily, my moods flared up and vanished just as quickly. I’d been able to rest against Alfie and just enjoy the feel of him holding me tightly.

He’d been so funny, talking about his swelling. I’d really thought for a moment that he’d never had an erection before and he didn’t know what was going to happen when he came. Then I’d realised he meant something else, but I wasn’t absolutely certain what he meant. Something inside him swelling? I had a little theory in the back of my brain but I wasn’t sure. Alfie didn’t even seem to feel his dragon inside him, usually, and I’d even wondered whether he had one.

The annoying thing was, I didn’t know anyone else who could help me work it out.Everyone I had once known was probably dead by now. I’d been in my hibernation in the heart of that fire for far longer than I’d realised.

Luckily, Alfie let me have his laptop and I watched it while he was gone. I scrolled through history websites, read the news, watched films and absorbed all of the information I could. Today, though, I wanted to actuallytalkto a person more than I had before. Instead, all I could do was pace around the little hut restlessly.

Alfie had made it look surprisingly homely by now. I had everything that I needed. Except Alfie.

I wandered the wood and peeked out at the field beyond. I scanned the skies overhead to make sure that the Guardian wasn’t there and then I slipped out from between the trees and began to walk. I was hidden from sight of the castle by the woods and only someone patrolling the borders would see me.

When I reached the boundary, I was careful not to touch it. I didn’t want the Guardian coming back, thinking someone else had got in. Alfie said the rest of his clan had written off the intrusion as a small animal or a disturbance, but Glimmer was still unsure and he patrolled regularly.

The boundary was thick with spells. So thick that I couldn’t even see through them.

If I’d come to the territory now, I’d never get in. It was amazing, really, that one dragon could make such impenetrable protections. Normally, it took a whole clan to do that or at the very least a clan elder.

I shivered. I’d never seen Lord Somerville and I wanted to keep it that way. I didn’t want him to know I was here at all.

I’d never told Alfie but I’d always planned to flee if Lord Somerville ever found me. I’d escape the territory and then he’d not pursue me. He wouldn’t leave his clan without his protection. If I could get out, I’d be safe.

Of course, that was before I’d met Alfie.

Before we’d kissed.

I ached inside in a way I couldn’t describe if I thought about leaving now.

Behind me, I heard a shout.

“Blaze? Blaze!”

Turning my back on the borders, I rushed back towards the woods where I could hear the voice. Alfie burst out of the trees and I could see the redness of his eyes even from this distance.

As soon as he saw me, he started babbling.

“There you are! I thought- I thought you were gone. Or dead. I don’t know what I thought but I was worried. Where did you go?”
