He grinned. “It won’t bother me. Although I’m not sure you want your mother seeing my jewels.”
She picked up a shoe from the ground and hurled it at him. Aaron moved out of the way.
Teagan glared. He tried his best not to laugh as she growled out, “At this rate, the entire clan will see your penis before the week’s out.”
He lazily stroked his semihard cock, and her eyes followed the motion. “They can look, but it’s only for you, love.”
His dragon spoke up. Why are we lying here? Take her again. She is ours and laid claim on us.
She has duties, as do I.
One more hour shouldn’t matter.
Teagan’s voice prevented him from replying. “As much as I want to shout ‘Prove it,’ I can’t. Today is my weekly appointments with disgruntled clan members. I can’t afford to irritate anyone right now by canceling.”
Aaron released his dick and rolled off the bed. Closing the distance between them, he kissed her and murmured, “If there’s any way I can help, tell me.” She hesitated and he pushed. “I mean it, Teagan. The sooner this is done, the sooner I can set a puzzle to exercise your brain and maybe even wrestle you in dragon form. Tell me what you need me to do.”
“You aren’t going to like it,” she said slowly.
“Try me.”
She tilted her head. “Well, if you could find out the reason for each visit, in detail, as they wait their turn, it would dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to handle each person. They tend to ramble, you see, or shout. With you, they might be less comfortable and just give the pertinent details.”
The corner of his mouth ticked up. “So I should use my scary Protector frowns and growls to whip them into shape.”
Teagan smiled. “That might help.” She laid a hand on his chest and idly ran her fingers back and forth through his chest hair. “You don’t mind? I know it’s not exactly the best use of your skills, but it would help me out quite a bit.”
“If I offer to help, I mean it, no matter what it is. You need to understand that now. I won’t have you doubting me or wondering if you’ll scare me off. Provided you don’t cut off my balls, I’m staying.”
Amusement danced in her eyes. “Is that a challenge to see what I can come up with and see if you stay?”
He growled. “It’s not a joke. I’m staying, Teagan. And my top priority is taking care of you so that you have the strength to take care of everyone else.”
Teagan’s face softened. All he wanted to do was kiss her, but he somehow resisted. He needed to hear her response.
She finally cleared her throat. “Thank you.”
He ran a hand down her back to c
up her arse through the fabric of his shirt she wore. “Stop being so formal.” He lightly slapped her bum. “I think once I’ve made you scream my name, all pretenses are off.”
She swatted his chest. “Aaron.”
He nuzzled her cheek. “I’m going to have to work hard to make you stop blushing.” He lowered his voice as he pulled her closer. “After all, no one needs to know what happens between us when we’re alone. You don’t want the clan members pointing and whispering because your cheeks turn pink whenever you see me.”
Pushing against his chest, Teagan leaned back. “And you can train me for that later. Right now, I need to shower and change. My first appointment is with Renny Walsh, and if I’m late, he will complain for ages about it to anyone who’ll listen.”
Aaron kissed her once more before releasing her. “Then to save time, let’s shower together.”
She searched his gaze. “No funny business.”
“I promise no sex, but if you think I’m going to keep my hands off your wet body, then you’re in for a surprise.”
She smiled. “Oh, you might have a few surprises coming your way as well.”
Teagan took his hand and led him into the bathroom.
It was hard to believe the sexy, clever leader of Clan Glenlough wanted him. But as she looked at him with a devilish glint in her eyes, he quickly pushed aside any doubts and joined her in the shower. It was going to take death to pry him from her side. She may not know it, but Teagan O’Shea would be his—she was his future.
