He raised his brows. “Oh, aye? Glad to see my years of medical school and practice are being put to good use.”
She leaned back to meet his eyes and tried not to smile. “Oh, don’t worry, I’ll let you out to play doctor once in a while.”
“Cheeky lass,” he murmured before he tickled her ribcage. Sid laughed until her sides hurt and she asked him to stop. Gregor relented, then added, “Maybe I’ll ask you to be my servant in bed sometimes. That will even things out.”
“Well, my years of medical school will come in handy then. I know a lot about anatomy and how a male dragon-shifter responds.”
He tilted his head. “Do you, now? Are you ready to give me my free consultation?”
She hit his chest. “No, we’re not having sex against a tree. There’s no time for that.”
“Maybe not now, but I have a few ideas of how to make the most of our bed this evening.”
The image of Gregor licking between her thighs as she moaned his name flashed into her mind. Even to her own ears, her voice was rough. “I look forward to your suggestions.”
He chuckled. “There’s no need for the formality, lass. I plan to make you scream my name a few times and I’m not going to be shy about it.”
Her dragon lifted her head. I want him.
Those three words brought Sid crashing back to reality. She’d put off sleeping with Gregor again since the frenzy to remain in control. She might be good at hiding it, but she wanted him with each breath.
Her Scot’s voice rumbled. “What’s wrong, Cassidy?”
She shook her head. “Just my dragon. But I’m determined to win her over.”
“And I’ll help you in any way I can, love. Just ask.”
Touching Gregor’s cheek, Sid wanted to tell him how she felt. She’d never had someone care so much for her welfare or stand by her side whilst knowing all of her faults. Bram had her back, but not even he knew all of her secrets.
Gregor did and he supported her anyway.
Not wanting to cry about nearly having what she wanted but not being able to grasp it, she cleared her throat. “Right now, I want food. Preferably something greasy and unhealthy.”
After gently kissing her, he stepped back to pick up his trousers. “I would run to the nearest restaurant right this second, but then I’d be sharing this glorious body with the entire clan.”
“Which isn’t going to happen.”
He raised his brows as he zipped up his fly. “As a doctor, and dragon-shifter to boot, I didn’t think nudity would bother you.”
She took a step toward the path out of the clearing. “It doesn’t. But I don’t want to scare the others.”
Gregor growled and Sid dashed down the path. Her years of running paid off as she stayed ahead of Gregor for a few minutes before his long legs finally caught her from behind. He whispered into her ear. “Caught you, which means I can demand my prize tonight.”
She looked over her shoulder. “We’ll see, Doctor. We’ll see.”
He took her lips in a rough kiss. As she reveled in the heat and taste of her mate, Sid only hoped Gregor had time to see through his claim later in the evening. No matter if she burned out from fighting her dragon, Sid wanted to make love with the male she cared about more than any other.
For once, she wanted to do something for herself and she wanted Gregor Innes.
Chapter Twenty
After lunch, Gregor walked with Cassidy into the surgery and headed straight for the laboratory.
He usually loved returning to work, but a small part of him wanted more time with his female. Spending an hour with Cassidy had shown Gregor a glimpse of what he’d missed out on since his first mate died.
His dragon spoke up. Then learn to delegate better. I want her to scratch my ears again.
Before I allow that, I want her naked and in bed. Then we’ll see about your ears.
