My eyes open and a wide smile graces his lips, showing me nearly all of his white teeth. Slowly, I release the tight hold I have on his soft locks.
Gently, he lowers his lips. He places a warm kiss to my stomach, his tongue sneaking out to slowly taste me. He’s this sexy sweet enigma that I might never be able to understand.
The energy in my core tightens to an unbearable feeling of need.
Then he shoves off hard from the mattress before striding across the room.
And I’m left gasping for a breath to steady my pounding heart.
Chapter Eleven
Her Honorable Word
When Chaos is fully clothed and my sex is no longer demanding his mouth, fingers, or cock, we head back to Agatha’s. There’s a new closeness between us as we walk. He doesn’t strive to touch me or coddle me, but his arm brushes mine with nearly every step we take, and I want to lean into that small touch.
It seems to go very noticed when Kain and Rime turn our way. They’ve shifted back to their natural, naked form, and I guess out of some weird respect for Chaos, I don’t look at their dicks.
Yes, let’s all give a nice slow clap for my ability not to look at impressive dicks when shown.
I hand them their jeans and shirts, and the suspicious looks in their eyes are held on the two of us as they quickly dress.
“So,” I can’t seem to help the smile that is pushing into place against my lips as I ask my innocent question, “did that mage ever turn up?”
I’m going to say no.
“No, not yet.” Kain looks at me as if he doesn’t trust me at all.
He’s a smart man.
“Do you three intend to stay here all day waiting for her?”
“Yes,” Kain says sternly.
“And then what? Will you go home? Call it quits? Maybe investigate a neighboring Kingdom for this devious but very beautiful mage?”
Did I mention beautiful?
Once more, Kain’s gaze narrows a little more on me. If he keeps it up, he’s just going to be squinting at me, and there’s nothing intimidating about poor eyesight.
“Do you have something you want to say to me?” My chin tips up at his accusing look.
“If she’s not here by this afternoon, we’ll have to check in with our source for more information.”
Check in. Two things cross my mind here: that gives me time to get the hell off their radar, but also …
“I’ll need at least one of you to stay to make good on my deal with the Prince.”
“Your deal?” Kain’s head tilts at me for confirmation, and his fiery red hair catches my attention for only a second.
“Yes, I owe him three insufferably arrogant dragons. I can make excuses for a few weeks, but he’s already paid for at least one of you.” My arms cross as my words come out in a steady tone. “It’d be bad for business if I didn’t keep my half of the deal.”
Rime’s brows rise as his jaw begins to tic, and it’s the only indication that he’s outraged at the moment. That heavy quietness that he always has represses his angry words.
“I’m sorry; you actually think you’ll be selling us to the Prince? In what fucking reality do you think that’s going to happen?” Kain takes a storming step toward me.
“This one. This reality. We had a deal.”
“Youhad a deal.” Kain takes another single step, and his angry gaze is boring down into mine, his chest pushing against mine. The warm smell of campfire and timber wash over me in a delicious way.
