When we reached my room, I cleared my throat. “Here we are.”
Mylo stepped inside, eyes wide with curiosity as he looked around. “Um... I think your bedroom is bigger than my parents’ living room.”
“You live with your parents?” I asked curiously.
Mylo chewed his lip. “Yeah... I know it’s embarrassing.”
“Huh? Why?”
Now he seemed confused. “It’s considered unusual for men my age to live with their parents,” he explained shyly. “I want to move out, but my parents are very... overprotective. I was shocked they even wanted me to come here.”
Shit, I couldn’t blame them. I felt overprotective of Mylo, too. But probably in a different way.
“What about your parents, Aurum?” Mylo asked.
I shrugged. “Don’t know ‘em.”
His brows shot up in surprise. “You’ve never met your parents?”
“Nope. Cobalt raised us, though, so he’s kinda like our dad-slash-older brother.”
“Oh,” Mylo said, sounding a bit sad.
“It’s all right. It doesn’t keep me up at night or anything,” I reassured him. “Can’t miss something I never knew, right?”
Mylo nodded. “I guess that’s true.”
He followed me to the bathroom, where his awe continued. “This is amazing,” he said, gazing around.
I’d never thought about our home being incredible. It was what I’d known my whole life, so I took it for granted. But Mylo’s fascination with the castle shifted my view. A lot of people didn’t live in luxury like we dragons did. I wanted to share it with him.
Mylo glanced up at the floor-to-ceiling glass shower door. “I was gonna shower, but do we have time?”
“Sure. Crimson and Taylor were fast, so we’ve got a little under an hour.” I grinned mischievously. “But to shower, you’re gonna have to strip. Can’t get your nice new clothes wet.”
Mylo blushed, smiling back. “Well, you’ve already seen me naked, so there’s no point asking you to leave.”
My inner dragon riled at his teasing comment. Naughty little ferret.
“I wouldn’t, even if you asked,” I growled.
His cheeks turned pink, and his eyes flashed with desire.
So, that’s what he liked, huh?
Mylo removed his glasses and new clothes, then delicately placed them on the counter. I stood rapt as his full figure was unveiled, and my cock hardened at the sight of him. Oncethe underwear was gone and nothing was left to cover him, I practically drooled. I’d never understand his shame. He was fuckinghot.
My dragon soul kicked into gear.
Fuck it. I couldn’t keep my hands to myself anymore.
Mylo was already in the shower by the time I tossed my clothes aside and leapt in. The hot spray of the water felt good against my skin, but not as good as Mylo’s back beneath my hands.
He let out a soft sound of surprise as I touched him, though I doubted he was surprised at all. His come-fuck-me expression earlier was clear as day. Besides, I saw his erection peeking out beneath his belly, just begging for my attention.
“We have time,” I murmured in Mylo’s ear, making him shiver.
“W-we do,” he agreed in a breathy voice.
