Goddess, help me.
When I came around the corner, Juni sat with his legs curled under him at one end of the couch, so I chose the far opposite side. Distance between us would help. I hoped. He’d chosen a movie I wasn’t familiar with and honestly, couldn’t really care less what it was. Self-control was my sole focus right now while mentally wrestling my dragon.
“Do you want a drink? Popcorn?” Anything to keep my mind occupied. Maybe we should stretch our wings and leave him to watch the movie.
Stay. Mate.
I guess a flight was out of the question. It’s kind of hard to do without your dragon.
“No thanks, I’m still full of dinner.”
Everything was working against me tonight.
As soon as the movie ended I hopped up. “I’m gonna go shower.” Without waiting for an answer I ran into the bathroom, totally forgetting my bag was in the living room. Too late to turn back now.
“Think, Kyson, think.”
Thankfully there was shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided by the inn keepers, though I was tempted to use Juni’s. I drew in a deep breath of his bodywash, the honeyed aroma, a stark reminder of his overall…scent.
I am so fucked.
Even the cold water did nothing to curtail my…issue.
When I couldn’t stand it anymore, I got out and dried, only to remember I had no clean clothes with me.
Son of a bitch.
With no other option, I wrapped the towel around my waist and prepared to face whatever waited for me in the other room.
Juni’s eyes widened as his gaze raked over me. Never had I felt so exposed and appreciated at the same time.
He likes what he sees, human.
Desire. Lust. His face was a myriad of need. Still seated on the couch, frozen in place, his eyes never left me as I crossed the room to my bag.
Drop the towel. Let him see all of us.
Have you lost your mind, dragon?
He’s ours, let him see what he’s missing. No doubt, he’ll be ready to mate then.
Or lock himself in the bedroom for the next two weeks.
Although that was an option, I didn’t see it happening.
Dragon got what he asked for, against my better wishes, when I bent to pick up my bag and the towel fell to the floor of its own accord.
Well, shit.
Juni’s gasp caused me to turn. The intensity of his heated gaze, the unmistakable erection tenting his pants. His scent was much stronger than it had been. There was no getting away from it, nor would Juni be able to deny it any longer.
He was in full blown heat.
“Juni,” I growled, unable to stand taking the high road any longer. “Tell me what you want.”
“You.”
Across the room I was in two strides and tossed him over my shoulder and carried him into the bedroom. As soon as I laid him atop the bed, I took his mouth in a searing kiss. One that I felt all the way through to my bones.
