Page 55 of Protecting His Treasure

But the irritation she was feeling was still there in her voice. That was one of her problems. Once she got angry, even if it was over something small, it took her a long time to get over it. She strode past Kaede, not even stopping once she reached him. When she passed him, she heard his dragon growl.

If I had an inner beast, it would be growling too, buddy. Ignoring the sound, she kept walking. Or, at least, she tried to. He put a stop to that within three second. His arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her back up against his chest.

Pressed against him, she could feel the vibrations of his dragon’s roar as it rumbled through his chest. Even though he only had one arm around her, she was still having a hard time prying it off of her.

“Kaede, let me go, before someone sees us.”

His breath was warm against her ear when he leaned down to whisper, “I don’t give a damn about a name. There’s only one name I want to call you and that’s mine. You can dictate what others call you. But as long as they know you’re mine, and as long you know you’re mine, I’m good. You got that, Sinclair Rose-Oshiro?”

There was no stopping the shiver that raced down her spine. Temporarily at a loss for words, she nodded.

“I want to hear you say you understand.”

Her lips parted, “I…” Damn, where was her voice? Clearing her throat, she tried again. “I understand, Kaede.”

He slowly released her. His hand rubbed across her stomach before it dropped away. “The door is straight ahead. I’ll follow you.”

With a nod, she strode forward, praying her legs didn’t buckle. He could probably sense the arousal coursing through her. She needed to rein it in. There would be other shifters in the training facility. It would be embarrassing if they were to pick up on the pheromones her body was throwing off like flares from a flare gun.

“We can return to the cabin if you want.”

She stopped and look back. He was still standing where she’d left him. “Why would we go back?”

He inhaled deeply then shivered. Flames flared in his gaze. Damn, he’d scented it.

“Will others be able to smell me?” He nodded. Damn. She glanced back at the door that would take them inside the training facility. She really wanted to train. Sex could wait. Her dragon roared again. More desire flowed through her. She whirled around to face Kaede. “If you’d get him under control, I’d be able to get myself under control.” Every time his dragon growled, her kitty purred, and begged for attention.

“Tomorrow, is the full moon,” he told her. “It’s affecting us both.”

Oh, yeah, that too. “Perhaps we should wait until after the full moon before we train together.”

His head jerked in a semblance of a nod. That’s when she noticed that his fists were balled at his sides. “I need you,” he growled. “Now.” He took a step forward.

Raising her hand, she took a step back. “Not here, Kaede. Let’s go back…”

He continued forward. “Can’t wait. Can smell how ready you are.”

His words only made her more ready. Damn you, Kitty! If she didn’t magic them out of there soon, they’d both end up naked right here in front of the building. Not happening. When he reached her, he wrapped his arms around her waist. As he lowered his lips to hers, Sin whispered the spell that would take them home. They reappeared in their bedroom just as his lips touched hers.

The kiss was passionate as hell. She found herself clinging to him as he rushed to take her clothes off. It was a good thing she’d worn old clothes to train in, because her dragon shredded them in attempt to get them off faster.

The sex was rough, hard, and had them both trembling long after they came. Not a word was uttered by either of them until they caught their breaths. Lying on the floor, in front of the bed, Sin turned over in Kaede’s arms to face him. His gazed peered into her. They stared at each other for a long time before they both burst out laughing.

“I can’t believe we just did that,” Sin told him. “Not the sex part. I can believe we did that. I just can’t believe we almost did it in front of the training facility. This full moon thing is no joke.”

He pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. “It is not a joke. It wild and uncontrollable. And it’s only going to get worse as we grow closer to the full moon.”

“Maybe we should stay in until then, just to be safe.”

“I know you want to train.”

“I do. But, I don’t want to get caught screwing in the grass. There’s no way around it. We have to stay in.”

“Or, we can train here and then train with the others later.”

“You’re willing to do that?”

“How many times do I have to tell you that I’m willing to do anything that makes you happy.”
