“He cooked a lot, I just didn’t have much of an appetite for the last week or two. Couldn’t choke the food down.”
“And that’s another bond thing?” Her expression was critical.
She knew I wasn’t telling the full story.
I nodded anyway.
“So you haven’t eaten enough, and you haven’t slept enough. Anything else to consider?”
The sex marathons probably came into play too, but I wasn’t about to spill those beans.
“Nope.” I managed to keep a straight face, somehow.
She still didn’t look like she believed me. “You most-likely just need a few days of food and sleep. If you’re not feeling better after that, you should probably see whatever the dragons use as doctors.”
I nodded.
I did feel hungry and exhausted.
Maybe a few days of food and sleep would do me good.
“You’re brilliant,” Eli told Vi.
She rolled her eyes. “I’ll make breakfast. You can leave.”
“Actually, August asked me to stay with her until he’s back in town,” the dragon said cheerfully. “You’re stuck with me.”
She made a face, then abandoned me with the shifter as she stepped into the kitchen.
I held the pillow to my chest again and let myself lay down on the couch. My eyes closed, and I drifted off, barely stirring when I felt someone take the box of donuts off the cushion beside me.
Probably Eli.
He’d want to eat the rest of them.
When Vi woke me up to eat, there was a worried crease between her eyebrows.
At her command, I tiredly filled my mouth with food before I started dozing once more.
I barely woke up when two arms slipped beneath my shoulders and led me out of the room.
“What did he do to her?” Vi whispered, her voice tight and angry.
“A potential mate bond overwhelms both halves of the couple with lust,” Eli murmured back. “I don’t think you need more details than that.”
“She wasn’t hurt?”
“Not unless she asked to be.”
Vi gave an exasperated sigh. “Are you always this infuriating?”
He chuckled. “On my good days.”
“I don’t want to see your bad, then.”
“You and me both.”
The door closed behind them, and I drifted off to sleep again.
