After he and his dragon shared crude jokes and another bout of laughter, he slowly stood, stretching toward the heavens, his shirt rising enough to expose that hint of dark hair peeking from behind his trousers and a beautifully sculpted stomach with abs that I knew were as hard as iron, for I’d ran my hands across every inch of his glorious body while healing him.
“Time for bed, witch,” he said through a yawn. “We have another long day of flying tomorrow.”
I sat up, rubbing my sore back. If only my healing powers worked on me. “Have you any extra furs?”
He gave me a curt nod. “Just the one you’re wearing.”
“Oh.” That wouldn’t do. The fur I wore wasn’t thick enough for bedding.
Waggling his brows, he patted the fur beneath him. “We can share until we get more supplies.”
All moisture evaporated from my mouth. “You want me to sleep with you?”
“I don’t want you to freeze.” His face could’ve been sculpted in iron, but mischief still shone in his eyes.
I looked to Radnor, who was curled up on the ground behind Helian like a cat, his tail wrapped around his paws.
The drake lifted his long neck, scowling. Don’t look at me to keep you warm. I’m already carrying you and your rodent on my back. A dragon can only suffer so much indignation.He huffed out a plume of smoke and laid back down.
“I won’t molest you, if that’s what you’re worried about,” Helian said with a wink, twin flames shining in his eyes. “Not unless you drug me with love potion again.”
Heat spread so fast through my chest and face, I feared I’d combust. “You know that was an accident.”
“Come on. If you have no care for your own comfort, then think of your rodent.” He flashed a smug grin when Demon hopped into my lap, his little body trembling while he pressed against me for warmth.
I rubbed my familiar’s silky ears. “Demon isn’t a rodent.”
He arched a brow. “Then what is he?”
“My familiar.” I grew a few yellow flowers when Demon nosed my palm, handing them to him one by one while he happily munched.
“Your familiar would be a lot warmer under the furs.” He lifted his thick fur, revealing another one beneath that I hadn’t noticed before. Bastard. He had two furs, and he hadn’t let me use one.
When he crooked his finger and waggled his brows, my rabbit jumped from my lap, hopping over to him and slipping beneath the fur he held open.Traitor.
“See?” His wicked smile turned my spine to jelly and weakened my resolve. “He’ll protect you from me.”
Reluctantly, I got up and stretched my sore muscles before cautiously approaching him.
He held the fur open wider, and I felt like a fly being sucked into an insect-eating plant as I knelt beside him. I gave the Fae a warning glare before lying down on my side. Demon hopped over my waist and snuggled against my chest, and then, goddess help me, Helian laid down beside me, the heat from his big body wrapping around my senses like a shroud. Despite the heat from his body, a shiver coursed through me.
“We’d be warmer if we slept skin-to-skin,” he whispered hot and heavy in my ear while squeezing my shoulder.
“Try it, and I’ll curse your member until it shrivels up like a wilting flower,” I whispered back.
Radnor’s chuckle shook the ground beneath me.
Helian cursed at his dragon before cursing at me, but at least he let me go and scooted back.
Heaving a contented sigh, I snuggled with Demon beneath the furs, my eyelids falling heavy as clouds continued to swirl above us.What a magical place, despite the cranky dragon and wicked Fae,I thought to myself before finally drifting off to sleep.
