He grins. “Later, I promise.”
Okay, now he’s really confusing me, but I know he isn’t going to get back in bed. I sigh before forcing myself to get up and follow his lead.
“Where are we going?” I ask as I slip on a pair of sandals. “I really want to get a shower before we go anywhere.”
“We just need to talk to my dad,” Stellan says, still not answering any of my questions.
I sigh, letting him lead me from our room. I realize once he pulls me into the hallway that I didn’t even brush my hair.
Stellan grins at me. “I assure you, you look beautiful.”
My cheeks flush at his compliment. “Are you sure you’re not biased?”
“Biased or not, your beauty is a simple fact.”
“Beauty is subjective,” I argue.
But he ignores me and pulls me along at a faster pace. With his long strides, I have to run to keep up with him. How easily he forgets how short my legs are.
Stellan laughs. “Youareshort.”
I huff. “You’re just tall.”
He doesn’t respond. Instead, he swiftly stops and picks me up from the ground. I squeal, but Stellan keeps walking at a quick pace, not at all slowed down by my extra weight. He carries me effortlessly.
“I’m a dragon shifter, remember? I have supernatural strength,” he says.
I look at him. “Did you suddenly get really good at guessing what I’m thinking or something?”
Or something, I hear. But Stellan’s lips don’t move. I look at him, trying to figure out what is going on.
Stellan doesn’t put me down until we’re outside of his dad’s office. I straighten my shirt, expecting him to knock. Instead, he barges inside, pulling me with him.
King Basilicus, or, er… Warrick… looks up, surprise on his face. Though, I don’t think he’s surprised to see us, I’m pretty sure he could hear us coming down the hallway.
“Did you know this would happen?” Stellan motions between us.
Once again, I’m confused by what he’s talking about. I feel like I’m missing an important piece of the puzzle. Hopefully, he will feel like explaining it to me soon.
Stellan winces as he looks at me. “Sorry. I’ll explain soon.”
Okay, maybe he reallycanread my mind. If not, it’s freaky how well he knows me. We haven’t known each other long enough for that, have we?
Warrick flicks his gaze between the two of us, shaking his head. “I… no… how?”
Feeling frustrated at the lack of knowledge, I slink into one of the chairs across from the dragon king’s desk. If they’re just going to talk around me, I may as well get comfortable.
“You’re not soulmates, but you have a completed mate bond.” Warrick furrows his brows. “I’ve never heard of that happening before.”
A completed mate bond? What does that mean? And how does one complete a mate bond?
Stellan shoots me an amused look and my face instantly flushes.
Okay… now I think I knowhow, but I wish I didn’tbecause we’re in Stellan’s dad’s office right now and this isn’t something I want to discuss with my father-in-law.
Relax, Stellan… says? Thinks?Completing a mate bond is completely normal. We are married, after all.
I shoot him a glare and he only chuckles at my discomfort.
