“Dragons like to keep secrets,” she said after a moment.
“Secrets protect us.”
“You don’t need protection from me, August.”
She had no idea.
“Let’s make a deal,” Elodie said.
“What kind of a deal?”
“We’re supposed to be a team now, right?”
I jerked my head in a nod.
“Well, you’re so horny you can’t think straight.”
It was my turn to blink.
The woman wasn’t wrong.
“And I’m tired of all the mate-related secrets you’re keeping. So why don’t we even the playing field? You get in the shower with me, and I’ll touch you while you tell me the things you’d rather keep quiet.”
My entire body clenched.
How was I supposed to turn that down?
“An hour ago, you didn’t even want me to touch you, Fireball.” My voice was strained.
“An hour ago, I was sweaty and hurting. You fixed it for me, and we agreed to be a team. This is me keeping up my side of the bargain. And besides, it’s not any more of a hardship for me to touch you than it is for you to touch me. I’ve never been more turned-on in my life.”
I inhaled deeply, desperate to have the scent of her desire embedded in my lungs, my mouth, my throat. Hell, I wanted it laced through every fiber of my being.
The water concealed it from me, and I nearly snarled in frustration.
“Do we have a deal?” Elodie checked.
“Yes.” I stepped out of my pants.
The way her eyes locked on my erection made me throb again.
And again.
She opened the shower’s door wider, and I stepped inside.
She took a step back, pressing her ass to the tiled wall.
I gritted my teeth against the urge to sink to my knees in front of her and finally get her taste in my mouth. To watch her unravel on my tongue. To hear her sounds of pleasure.
When I stepped closer, shutting the shower’s door behind me, her hand slid over my abdomen. Hot water fell over my head and down my body, but I didn’t feel it. Not with her touching my skin.
Elodie’s fingers slowly traced the dips and crevices of my abs. “Dragons can’t fly without their mates?”
I lifted one of my hands to the shower wall beside her head, and captured her hip with the other. If I didn’t occupy them, they’d make their way to her breasts and ass, and she hadn’t said I could touch her.
“No. After a dragon takes a mate—or begins a female’s heat—he can’t fly without her. It’s physically impossible. If he tries to take to the sky without her on his back, the magic ricochets, and he automatically shifts back to his human form.”
“So you can’t fly without me right now?”
