Chapter Seventeen

SIN TOSSED THE COVERSoff of her and sat up.

He moved out the way just in time to avoid being hit in the face. Bummer. Then again, had she hit him, she just would’ve ended up passing out. Hurting him only hurt her. Win-lose situation. Frustrated, Sin rolled her eyes at him.

“You’re beautiful when you do that.”

“Don’t talk. I’m not ready to do the talking thing yet.” Sin rubbed her hand through her tousled hair. “How did you know I was awake?”

“I didn’t, at first. It was just a guess. Then the scent of your arousal filled the room and...” He paused, eyes dropping to her chest.

She snapped her fingers bringing his gaze back to hers. “Eyes up here, dragon. And what are you talking about arousal for?” Her face heated in embarrassment. “I’m not aroused. There’s no reason for me to be aroused. Something’s wrong with that dragon nose of yours.”

He grinned. An adorably sexy grin that a big ass dragon like him shouldn’t be able to pull off. However, pull it off he did.

He tapped his nose and told her, “The nose doesn’t lie.”

“Apparently, it does. Especially if you think I’m aroused.”

“There’s one way to prove it.”

“Excuse me?”

“Let me see.” His voice was a fraction lower.

Oh my gosh.Sin cleared her throat. “Let you see what?”

“Between your legs.”

Did he really just ask to look between her legs? What the fuck was wrong with him? And why do I find that hot as fuck? What the fuck is wrong with me?

“No, you can’t look between my legs. You pervert.”

“There’s nothing perverted with wanting to see between my mate’s legs.”

Seriously?“Listen, dragon...”

“Kaede.”

“Huh?”

“Kaede. The name’s Kaede.”

“Whatever. Listen, dragon...”

“Or you can call me yours.”

“Listen, dragon!” She yelled. “You won’t be seeing between my legs again.” His chuckle irritated the hell out of her. “I’m serious.”

“I believe you.”

Really?“Why are you smiling then?”

“I’m laughing at something my dragon said.”

That’s right. Dragons had inner beasts. He was like two people in one. Curiosity killed the cat. But Sin couldn’t help but ask, “What did he say?”

“You sure you want to hear it?”
