Aiding the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons 7) - Page 69

She smiled. “Let’s just say that if you stop being honest with me, you will be sleeping outside in the rain before you can blink.”

“I hate the bloody rain,” he growled.

She grinned. “Exactly.”

“Then do I get to mete out the same punishment if you hide from me?”

She shrugged. “Rain doesn’t bother me. I do have a few weaknesses, but you’ll have to figure them out yourself.”

He lightly slapped her arse. “I think you should tell me one.”

She moved a hand to the scar near the corner of his mouth and traced it. “This scar ruins your perfect stubble.” She looked up. “How did you get it?”

He grimaced. “My father.”

Teagan’s eyes turned fierce. “The more I hear of him, the more I hate the male.”

He shrugged. “He’s gone and doesn’t matter. You’re much more important.”

The anger faded a fraction from her eyes. “Pretty words won’t distract me from finding out the whole truth. Just tell me, Aaron.”

He raised his brows. “Someone’s a bit demanding.”

She growled. “Fuck, yes. If you want all of me, then this is part of the deal.”

With the fire in her eyes and flush on her cheeks, Aaron wanted her all the more. “He threw a book at my head. The corner caused a scar.”

Since they were the same height, Teagan merely leaned over and kissed the small scar. “Thank you for telling me.”

“Don’t go getting all bloody formal on me, O’Shea.”

“I can easily say you’re a bastard instead if that’ll make you feel better.”

He pulled her tighter against his body. “Cheeky wench.”

She flashed her teeth before saying, “You’d be bored if I weren’t.”

As they stared into each other’s eyes, Aaron finally chuckled. “Damn you, you’re right.” He kissed her quickly. “I only wish you didn’t have to go talk with Killian in the next few minutes or I’d take you home and show you how far from bored I am.”

“Then take a few minutes to kiss me and give me a preview. It’ll help me unwind.”

Without another word, Aaron took Teagan’s lips and devoured her mouth slowly. As she melted against his chest, his heart skipped a beat. And not just because a sexy, capable female was leaning against him. No, for the first time in a long time, he was happy.

More than that, he trusted Teagan. Not to mention that imagining a future without her in it would be bleak. He didn’t want to go back to hiding behind fake smiles and winks just to get through the day.

His dragon spoke up. You know what that feeling is.

No, not yet. It’s too soon.

Coward.

After a few minutes, Teagan finally pulled away, and she cupped his cheek. “I would say thank you, but you don’t like formalities.” She leaned over to his ear and whispered, “So just know that merely kissing you gets me wet for you, Aaron. Think of that until you see me tonight.”

His beast roared. She is gaining confidence. I like it. Can we have her soon?

Later, dragon.

He took her hand and guided it to his crotch. He murmured, “I’ll be thinking of you the whole time. I won’t even find release by my own hand. I’ll save it all for you.”
