He groaned and leaned in, tongue sliding over Talon’s lips, cleaning him up.
Talon made a deep noise that was like someone rolling a stone away from a cave, and it made him shivery, nose to toes. “Careful, sweet hailee. You need your sustenance.”
“I think you’re my sustenance, braaken.” Mercury was weak and thin, yes, but he was alive and living both.
“I like the sound of that.” Talon fed him a bit of milkshake with a spoon, though. Not pushing, just encouraging him to try them all, to eat a little at a time.
The cold cream soothed his dry throat, making it easy to take more in.
Finally he had to stop. His stomach was small and he was tired. “Can you stay here with me? I’m not going to hide, but we could watch the birds?”
Talon nodded to him, leaning in close. “We can watch outside and we can watch a movie. There’s plenty of here for us to snack on.”
“That sounds like fun.” It worked for him. At this point, anything that Talon wanted, for the most part, worked for him. “Thank you for the milkshakes, braaken.”
“Anytime, hailee.” Talon put the tray aside and he settled against the broad chest.
He was asleep before Talon got the television on.
Chapter
Seven
Talon might just die from sheer sexual frustration.
Or at least explode.
Boom.
Mercury grew stronger every day, but he still wasn’t ready in any way for a knotting. Too bad Talon was.
So he worked out. A lot. He sparred. When Mercury was having lunch with Kami and Elowyn and the kids, he flew. Right into the lake. Sploosh.
The cold helped.
He just desperately needed. He needed to sink into that sweet body and bring them together, joining them in their mating. It hurt, he wanted it so badly.
He would die before he pushed Mercury to go any faster than he needed to, though. It was wrong, and Talon loved his brave little dragon dearly. He admired the hell out of Mercury, with his strength and resilience.
He heard a splash close by and glanced over, knowing before he even saw Triton that his brother was there checking on him.
I’m well, brother. Just frustrated.
I understand.
He wasn’t sure about that, but Triton snorted water, steam coming up out of the water in a wild rush. It was gorgeous.
I scared my hailee so badly when we first met that he moved away. It took months, possibly decades, before I could even touch him. It felt endless.
At least you had Cerran, yes?It was still shocking that his brother had an alpha lover as well as an omega, but it worked for them. And he had never seen Triton so happy.
I did until Cerran was angry at me for upsetting Elowyn. Then let me tell you when two of them are mad at me…Another puff of steam formed.It’s a nightmare.
He laughed as they swam together in lazy circles. He had missed his brother so much, and it was a miracle in many ways that they had found one another again.
Has your hailee been healing? Is he well?He hoped that Triton’s concern was one of a brother and not of a warrior.
He’s getting stronger every day. And he’s learning so quickly. He’s like a sponge; he just draws everything in.
