“Okay.” Beau turned on the bedside light, jumped off the bed, and grabbed his laptop.
Ethan sighed with relief. At least Beau hadn’t set light to the thing in a rage, or chucked it out the window.
As he sat and looked through the characters that Beau had created, and his brother’s voice turned from cautious to confident and enthusiastic, a warmth filled Ethan’s chest. This was so much better than the tightness, the scrunched fist he’d had in his heart, worrying about Beau.
Min was right, it was so much better to approve than disapprove. To find merit rather than fault.
Not just for Beau, but for him too.
Min was dozing off when she felt Ethan gently pull back the covers and climb in beside her.
She moved into his chest, smelled his sweet scent of smoky cedar and spice, so uniquely—dragon.
“Mmm, how did you go?”
“It was great, feels like we’ve broken through to each other. Thank you for making me go and talk to him. You’re right, he’s really very talented. I had no idea he was so good at graphic design.”
“Amazing what you find out when you take an interest,” Min said wickedly. She heard him sigh.
“You’re right, I stand corrected. We’ve lived in our silos, me and Beau, ever since Dad died. And that’s sad, because I loved him so much when he was a dragonling. I guess it’s time we really got to know each other again.”
“You’re both creative, with so much vision. And you both want to make your mark in the world, for dragons,” Min said softly.
“Just differently, I guess.” He nuzzled into her neck, and she melted into his kisses. “How was Mom?”
She snuggled into him, loving how it felt to be a couple, a real couple.
“She’s good. She spent a lot of time telling me about you and Beau’s childhood. How you used to be such a great big brother, always looking out for Beau, and how he hero-worshipped you. And then she fell asleep, so I just left her and tiptoed out.”
“Min,” he dropped kisses on top of her head, “sometimes it feels like you’re the missing part, making us whole again.”
She laughed. “I’m not sure about that, but I do think I’m developing a sixth sense of when you’re about to breathe fire.”
“Or make love to you?”
She giggled, and felt his lips moving down her body, her nipples hardening as his tongue flicked over them. “That too.”
“I want to pleasure every little part of you. I want you to lie back and let me give you everything a dragon can give.”
As he pushed up her negligée, Min sighed and succumbed to everything her dragon could give.
“I don’t want you to ever leave,” he whispered as they lay sated, several orgasms later.
“I’ll have to go back to the shop eventually, Ethan. It’s my life. It’s what I do.”
He stiffened a little. “But you won’t live there, above the shop anymore.”
“I—I hadn’t got quite that far in my thinking.”
“If we were married, surely you would live here with me.”
He hooked up on his elbow and played with a strand of copper hair that fell over her beautiful breast, the nipple turning tight and rosy even at that soft touch. “What do you say to that, Miss Westwind?”
“Is this a marriage proposal, Ethan?”
“I think it just might be.”
“I’ve known you barely a month. And most of that time we were fake dating.”
