Keoki turned his head toward Eliana. “So, what do you think my odds are at asking her to stay for him?”
Amelia looked at him. “I am right fucking here. Twat.”
Eliana’s group, who had watched it all, walked toward her and muttered about privacy for grovelling while Keahi grabbed her and carried her to one of the other bedrooms. Eliana was going to head back to the other trio the moment she was loose.
Nalu grabbed her around the waist and kept her from getting away. “Let Keoki grovel without witnesses. He doesn’t have much practice.”
Keahi grabbed Eliana’s right hand and sighed. “So, you really hit him.”
“Uh, yeah.”
“You broke your knuckles.”
“That explains the pain.” She chuckled.
He sighed and lifted her hand to his lips. He exhaled fire, and it ran across her knuckles. Her hand got warm, then hot, and then the throbbing ache that had been starting disappeared. It took a few minutes, and she was feeling distinctly warm afterward. She flexed her hand and smiled. “Thank you for that, Keahi.”
He smiled. “The service wasn’t free.” He tapped his lips.
“You are joking.”
“No. I never joke about kissing you.”
She looked at the bed platform. “Either I go up, or you come down.”
Mano laughed, Nalu snorted, and Keahi sat down. She smiled at Keahi, face to face. “Thanks for the healing.” She tried to get away with a quick kiss, but his arms snapped around her, and the kiss was anything but quick. Somehow, she ended up shivering under him with his hand pressed to her breast under the fabric.
She tried to say something witty and ended up with, “Oh.”
He smiled and brushed his lips against hers. To her shock, it was the dragon’s gaze staring at her.
“Hello, maiden.”
“As an endearment, it lacks a certain something,” she whispered.
“Oh, for Nalu and I, it is the most loving thing we can call you. When we begin, we crave a maiden of our own, and we wait. He stumbled across you when both of you were too young, so I marked you, so he could find you when he was ready, but you got the mark silenced.”
“I did. It hurt.”
He rubbed his cheek against hers. “I am sorry for that. I am very sorry for that. Once the mark went silent, I was furious. I attacked my mentor, and he stomped me flat. He told me that betas were not suitable mates, and I should seek out an omega.”
She chuckled. “There is only one dragon omega on the planet, and she isn’t with your mentor. He has his first newbie right now. Luna’s son.”
“You mean Jack’s son.”
She narrowed her eyes. “If he was going to claim him, he should have shown up at any time in the first seventeen years.”
He closed his eyes and opened them slowly. “I don’t wish to debate this with you.”
“Fine. Get your hand off my tit. It’s distracting.”
Keahi grinned. She recognized that smile. She had gone to sleep hugging her pillow, remembering that smile. “Not fair.” She ran her thumb along his lips.
He licked her thumb and leaned in for another kiss.
Nalu cleared his throat. “Kane has come by to ask if you want food.”
She thought about it. “Actually, I am hungry.” She met Keahi’s flashing gaze. “Off.”
