“Also deposit DNA,” I said crossly. “Why else would I share? Why else would he? We literally need each other to breed you.”
Her little pink mouth opened, and then closed, and then opened again. She looked too shocked for words for a moment, but then she got over it, turning incredulous.
“You are unbelievable!” She threw her arms up in the air.
“Well, I guess this is just something you’re going to have to accept too!” I replied, also feeling very heated. I was also getting very aroused; I was all too aware that I had never argued with a female before. It was strangely exhilarating. Much more fun than arguing with males, which I didn’t really like to do at all.
“So that’s why you chased me through Baton Rouge! To breed me.” She crossed her arms and looked at me pointedly.
“One of the many reasons, I assure you. You are an extremely attractive female. I’m sure that Murtagh and I aren’t the first males who looked at you and thought about it!”
I hoped she would take this as a compliment.
Apparently, this was a statement that didn’t make her feel better, but she rolled her eyes and began to mutter as she walked to the bed and sat down. “I will not be telling my brother about this.”
I gave a nod and admitted, “That’s probably for the best.” I frowned and added, “Did you tell them we were dragons?”
“I did. You guys made me all thrifty with the details over the phone, so I had to serve all that crazy all at once,” she added peevishly. She was pulling off her jeans, apparently to lie down, and I was just watching, amazed and almost mesmerized by how sexy her thighs were. “And then you still couldn’t just wait for me to come home. I’d planned several days of talking about it.” She pulled off her shirt now.
“Well, good thing you didn’t!” I snapped. “Besides, it’s not like you left a note saying where you went to. The last thing we’re going to do is apologize about summoning you!” I assured her, staring at her now. “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to sleep,” she told me crisply. “And I can’t sleep in clothes.”
I looked her up and down, almost licking my lips. “Neither can I.” I stifled a wince, because my words came out just as seductively as I’d felt them, not as I wanted them to. I found myself crawling onto the bed. “I know something that could help you sleep,” I offered, happy that by the time I reached her she wasn’t trying to shake me off.
She did look a little put-out. “Sex?”
“I was about to go down on you until you saw stars, actually,” I told her, grabbing her knees and playfully pulling her flat on her back. She made an ‘oof!’ sort of squeak, and I kissed the inside of her thigh. “Come on, little mouse. It will make you feel a lot better about everything.”
“Somehow I’m having trouble believing that,” she muttered as I continued to kiss the inside of her thigh, but she let me pull her legs wider apart.
“Can I convince you?” I asked.
“I have a feeling that no matter how talented you think you are, you will not improve the shitty day I’ve just had, mixed with the knowledge that you and Murtagh are trying to knock me up on purpose.”
I immediately started in, and I hadn’t even gotten her panties off all the way yet.
She made a sort of squeak of surprise and then said after ten seconds, “Okay, you can try to prove me wrong.”
I grinned. How could I possibly pass up such a delightful opportunity?
CHAPTER 18
Zazie
Well, fuck me sideways.
Caspian had taken me by surprise, but I wasn’t sure about him yet. He had his moments where he was hot, like this one, and cold, like when he spanked me in the backseat for running from him. That was cruel and unusual. I was going to willfully ignore the part where he touched me after it, found me soaking wet, and made me come.
That was a whole barrel of worms that I didn’t want to think too hard about.
Sure, maybe he’d tried to buy my love with gems and that maybe, sort of, worked. But when he’d taken me into his lap just a few moments ago, I’d found myself settling in there just like I belonged, and I didn’t know what to make of that.
Not to mention I was still reeling about the fact that I was a fucking djinn. On the surface, I looked like I was accepting it just fine, but on the inside, I was still feeling like I’d stepped out on a tight rope, and I was teetering side to side, about to fall off to my doom.
Every time I caught my reflection, I half-expected to see something monstrous staring back. But it was always just me—the girl who could find lost things, now lost herself in a sea of uncertainty.
The demands of Caspian and Murtagh didn’t help. They needed me as a mate, they needed me to have babies, and really—they needed me to get back to their own realm.
