She sighed, went and cleaned her teeth, and put on her PJs.
She’d just hopped into bed with a book, a historical novel about orc kind set in the era of Atholrose Motham, when Ethan burst through the door, a look of sheer panic on his features.
She got such a surprise that she dropped the book and sat bolt upright with a squeak.
“Min, I’m sorry, but we’ve just had word the officials will be here in twenty minutes.”
“What officials?” Totally discombobulated by him striding around the room in a panic, she pulled the sheet up to her chin.
“The visit from the Council of Towns officials… to check whether we’re…”
“Oh, shit!” Min’s hand went to her mouth. “What do we do now?”
“We… um… we need… to be found in the same bed.”
Min gulped. “Right. Well, you better get in then.”
“Yep. I’ll go undress.” He raked a hand over his head, his eyes wild. “I’ll put my PJ bottoms on, leave off my top, as if…”
Min rolled the cover down and cast a glance at her modest nightwear. “Should I… keep these on?”
He grimaced at her baggy faded unicorn PJs. “Not quite the right look for a loved-up couple. Here.” He grabbed a negligée from one of the dresser drawers and tossed it to her.
“This would look more… authentic.”
‘Right-o.” Min swallowed hard.
As he disappeared into the dressing room, Min tugged off her PJs and slipped the silk negligée over her head. Ebony had provided it for her to wear in the event of a raid like this, but it was the tiniest scrap of silk, barely covering her tush. And there were no panties with it. It literally skimmed the top of her thighs, almost exposing the soft v of hair around her cleft.
Totally indecent. Oh well, she’d be in bed. They’d only see her top half, and then Ethan would go back to the dressing room as soon as they left. Sadly.
She flicked her hair around her shoulders and hopped back into bed just as Ethan bounded out of the bathroom in a pair of loose pajama pants, his torso gloriously naked and glistening. His wings furled closed to his shoulders, which were muscular and buffed. Min couldn’t help staring at his body as he climbed gingerly into the bed next to her.
Her breath hitched as she felt the mattress indent, the warmth of him already seeping into her. Dragons definitely did not run cold. Not this one at least.
“Maybe put your arm around me,” she ventured. As she spoke, they heard footsteps outside, then there was a sharp rap on the door.
“Come in,” Ethan called out.
Snibs, Ethan’s valet, put his head around the door. “Ethan, sir. The authorities are here. Are you okay if I let them in?”
“Sure, er, just give us a moment.” Ethan’s arms came round her, and he tugged her against his flank.
Min gave herself permission to really nestle in and put her hand on his chest. She could feel his heart beating fast under her palm.
He glanced down at her. “Ready for this?”
“Ready as I’ll ever be,” she said, trying not to smirk too broadly. There was definitely an upside to this visit.
“Okay,” Ethan called out. “Tell them they can enter.”
They flounced in, a woman and a small, bearded man. They were both wearing white coats, like doctors. Oh gods, they weren’t planning on a physical examination, surely? Taking semen samples off the sheets?
It was a shame they wouldn’t find any, Ethan thought ruefully.
The woman advanced, her spine stiff and her mouth turned down. “We have ID.” They pointed to the identity badges on the lapels of their coats. “MHRM,” Ethan read.
“What’s that stand for?”
