Her lips part with outrage.
“When do you think she’ll come again?” Chaos asks when my back skims just slightly against his chest as I try to step away from this tense conversation. I wouldn’t say I’m fleeing from this situation, but yeah, I need to get out before Agatha uses her craft to turn me into the sniveling rat that I am.
“Well, if I had to guess, I’d say she might be by tomorrow. Perhaps when my dwindling mind is in a more stable state.”
Oh, for fuck’s sake, Aggie.
Her unseeing gaze bores into mine, testing, taunting, all but laughing at the hole I’ve dug myself into.
I take another step back, my arm skimming against Chaos’ smooth shoulder. His palm settles against my hip, his touch tingling all through me before he pulls slightly away. The next words out of Kain’s mouth stop me in my cowardly tracks.
“Perfect. We’ll wait.” His chin tips up to the mage but she strikes him right back down.
“You’ll wait outside. Unlike some mages, I do not allow strange men into my house.” She pauses with a dramatic flair that makes me want to roll my eyes. “Or bed.”
Now it’s my turn to gape at her.
“So, you’re saying if a handsome man like Chaos here asked to slip into your sheets you’d shrug your shoulder at his sexy face?” I blink at her, waiting for her response.
“My sexy face?” His warm words whisper across my skin and I realize I’m still too close to him.
“It’s hard for me to say. I can’t see his sexy face.”
In a flash of twirling papers and rising dust, Agatha is right in front of the shifter. Chaos tilts back from her sudden magical appearance, but he only smirks at the small blind woman. The thin white shawl on her shoulders shifts as she lifts a hand to him.
She looks old enough to be his grandmother.
But when she settles her curious hands on him, she doesn’t touch him like a sweet, elderly woman would. No, she doesn’t pinch his cheeks even once.
Her palms start at a platonic place on his pecs. Exploring fingers drift down his body, and I can’t help but shift, letting my thighs rub together as she touches him the way I’ve thought about touching him.
His head tilts and he gives me the cockiest smirk I’ve ever seen. Until her hands drop dramatically lower and she grips his dick in one firm swoop.
The tension in his body jolts from her touch, making her hand slip away.
Kain’s lips part and he almost—almost—smiles at his friend. Rime, however, only passes his cruel eyes over the scene as if it is another typical day for him.
“Hmm, well.” Her hands pat sweetly against his shoulders. His eyes close tightly as if he’s trying hard not to say anything as a smile starts to spread across his lips. I can’t really tell if he’s trying not to laugh or growl. “Yes, I guess I couldn’t really say no. Perhaps I misjudged my weaker friend. I will have to give her my apologies when I see her tomorrow.”
“Aggie, you didn’t even touch his face.” A smirk kisses my lips. Goddess, I want to be her when I grow up.
“I didn’t?” Her brows lower over her pale gaze. “Huh, please forgive my dwindling mind.”
Her hand pulls away and I can’t help but let my gaze flicker to Chaos’ hips. Unfortunately, I can’t make out the impressiveness that gave Agatha a change of heart.
I guess I should have gotten him tighter jeans.
His turns, big palm pushing across my abdomen, and my body reacts to his touch, leaning into his strong chest as his lips skim against my ear. His coarse beard against my skin sends a hard shiver all through me. “If you’re curious, all you have to do is say so, Low.”
And just like that, my curiosity is doused with cold water from his ridiculous cockiness.
“Not curious at all. If you’ll remember, you’re the one without horns.” I slip out of his hands and open the door. “Everyone knows dragons are praised for their horns. The bigger horns signal an alpha, a protector, a truly prized beast. You’re… hornless. What does that signal?”
His brows lower over his pretty eyes. Just as I’m about to walk out, Rime finally speaks.
“Did she just call you a dickless fuck?”
