“Then they are the eyes of a survivor, and you should wear your title with pride.” The man’s voice was low. “What is this abuse?”
Oh damn.
Something told me this was not a wise conversation to have with a man I’d gone and kissed, starting a mate bond with.
“Never mind,” I said quickly. “I don’t think the healing is working, and I’m really damn cold. Think I’m going to call it.”
“Call it what?” He looked slightly confused—but also suspicious.
“It’s a human saying. I’ll explain another time.” I swam to the edge of the lake, planting my feet on the smooth, slick stones that felt like they were actual ice cubes beneath my feet.
My frozen, pointy tits distracted him from asking more about my family as I carefully made my way out of the water, much to my relief.
When I made it out of the water, my skin was stinging something fierce.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
I started jumping, pumping my arms, trying hard to get warm.
“What are you doing?” Remmo sounded amused.
My teeth chattered when is started to answer him, so I closed my mouth tightly.
He set my clothes down, crossing the space between us and quickly wrapping his arms around me. The electric shock felt like nothing since I was so frozen.
But daaaamn, he was warm.
Incredibly warm.
Blissfully warm.
It was just for body heat, I told myself, as I snuggled closer to him.
Just body heat.
“I can shift forms and wrap you up if you’d like. It would be the fastest way to warm up,” he murmured to me.
“Yes,” I moaned.
With another sexy chuckle, he shifted smoothly. His massive body wrapped around mine like a living cocoon, the way he had when Teris had been coming after me in the forest. Only this time, it was just for warmth.
Another moan escaped me as the air around me warmed quickly, and I plastered my naked front to his scales.
He was like a damn grill. Just cooking me right up to the perfect temperature.
Ohhhh, that felt good.
So good.
I warmed up quickly—and fell asleep almost immediately afterward, like the cold had shut down my damn brain.
My own snoringwoke me up sometime later. I choked on the noise as I jerked my head up off his body, looking around the darkness deliriously before I saw the scales.
Remmo’s scales.
