“Will this be bad?” I grab the brush on the vanity, the clear handle cold to the touch with snowflakes embedded inside. The bristles are surprisingly soft as I brush my hair.
“May I?” Nyx asks, pointing at the hairbrush.
I hand it to him, and the biggest smile stretches across his face. I prepare myself for him to be too rough with hair tugs and tangles with how large his hands are, but he’s gentle and soft. I can’t remember the last time someone else brushed my hair.
“It could be bad,” Nyx begins to say. “Cailian isn’t wrong. I think our kingdoms will be surprised. A few might cause issues, but mostly, I think confusion will be an issue. Everyone will ask a lot of questions, questions we might not have answers to.”
Silence falls, the only sound is my hair being untangled.
“Which is why it is best to address it now, rather than later. You will have to meet some of Nyx’s… female night quests,” Cailian states with a bit of jealousy. “I am sure they will not be happy to see us.”
Nyx stops brushing when I turn around.
He gives Cailian an annoyed, tired look, and sets the hairbrush on the vanity. “Dragons aren’t like other species. We can fuck whoever we want. We can have children with whoever we want ifwe choose, but we can only knot our firebonds. Yes, I laid a few female dragons over the years to scratch an itch, but I never felt for them for what I feel for you.”
“I never expected either of you to be saints. What about female elves? Have you ever had any relationships with them, Cailian?” I’m curious, not angry.
“Female elves are rare. We only have three. They are very well protected.” He bows his head. “So no, I never had any sort of relationship in my life.”
“It’s me. I’m the whore in this trio,” Nyx grins, showing a flash of fang. “Which my experience seems to come in handy when I make you come, Little Elf. You don’t seem to mind it then.”
“That is hardly a fair comparison when we both know I cannot help my response to you. It is the bond. Face it, without Fate, we would not dare to be in the same room.”
Nyx taps his chin, wraps his tail around Cailian’s waist, tugging him until our elf is flush against his chest. His finger traces his jaw, fire spreading in the wake. “I don’t know. I happen to like seeing how I make you melt, Treasure.”
Cailian tries to shove away from him. It’s no use. He isn’t stronger than a dragon, although, he could use his power, yet he isn’t.
“I won’t let you go until you stop this.”
“Stop what?” Cailian hisses.
“This jealousy. This anger. This disobedience. The denial. It ends now because there is only you and Rarity now. My cock can’t rise for anyone else ever again.”
Cailian eyes water and still, he shoves Nyx again, and Nyx unravels his tail from Cailian’s waist. Without a word, Cailian leaves, shutting the bedroom door loud enough for us to know we are alone.
“I don’t understand,” Nyx grumbles. “This isn’t easy with him like it is you. I don’t know what he wants from me.”
“I don’t think he is mad or worried you’re going to want another. I think he is sad.” I feel the heavy weight of emotion plucking on the strings of the bond.
Nyx must too because he rubs his chest. “Why? I thought, after everything, we have made progress?”
“Progress, maybe,” I bob my head as I study what Cailian is pushing through the bond. “In here, in the safety of four walls, and with us, there is progress, but out there?” I point to the left where everything outside this room is against us. “There is no progress. You have to pretend to accept him because let’s face it, Nyx—” I kiss his chest “—He’s accepted you. And now he has to put on a show, a fake smile when his heart hurts. That must be hard.”
The door to the bedroom opens again, the light quick steps along with the sense of Cailian coming closer has Nyx visibility blowing out a relieved breath.
“Raltena has managed to place a sun barrier for three hundred miles in either direction. You will be safe now during the day,” he informs.
“I’ll be able to go outside?” I squeal, running to him. He catches me just as I jump, wrapping my arms and legs around him. “I get to feel the sun’s warmth? I get to have freedom?” Tears prickle my eyes and I hide my face against his shoulder. “Thank you. Thank you so much.” I lift my head quickly, excitement replacing the heaviness from moments ago. “Do you think she would teach Maven to create it too? My coven can’t walk in the daylight either. She hasn’t been able to create a barrier so large like Raltena did.”
“Of course she hasn’t.” He wipes my tears away. “My witch is so much older than Maven. With age comes power. I’ll bring her with us when we visit your family. Are you ready to meet the rest of my elves? Are you ready to see the castle? Besides the bedroom,” he smirks.
“Yes. I’m nervous. What if they don’t like me?”
“What’s not to like?” Nyx leans against the wall, crossing his bulky arms. “You’re even cute when you talk in your sleep.”
Cailian snorts.
I, on the other hand, gasp in horror. “I do not talk in my sleep. Someone would have told me that by now.”
