“Shut up, you big lug,” I said, slapping his arm. “If you tell the others about this, I’ll?—”
“They’ll know,” he said. When I looked up at him, I was fairly certain he was hiding a smile behind that stoic expression of his.
“Vyns will sense the disturbance in your spirit. Rook will know you’ve been… lusty, and if Myel was here, he’d smell the arousal on you.”
“Oh God, can you?”
“I can.”
“And… you’re not…?”
“Upset? No. Bayn is an ass with control issues, but if you two are into each other, then the rest of us will have to learn to accept him. And if he agrees to your terms, then you’ll be keeping all of us and there’s no problem.”
“Why…? How…?” she stammered. “Most human guys would be all indignant aboutanother man being all over me,having his dick inside me.” I deepened my voice to try and do an impression of a macho man.
Koar raised a brow. “Did he go that far?” the dragon asked.
“Not this time, but we were damned close. A little more friction and our clothes might have burned away, then who knows what might have happened,” I exaggerated… a little.
“It matters not,” Koar said, sounding so damned enlightened and above it all. “I am not concerned. I know no other dick can compare with mine. His may be larger, but he’s probably an awkward oaf, trusting to his size to do all the work, not knowing how to pleasure a woman as she deserves.”
“Ah… so that’s it. You’re not jealous because you have a superiority complex.”
“I call it self-confidence.”
“I call bullshit, but whatever.”
He chuckled softly and I huffed out a breath, trying to get myself under control after that… very unexpected encounter with Bayn. I couldn’t quite understand our mutual reactions to each other. He was an ass. And I was fairly certain I annoyed the hell out of him too. So… why the fireworks?
True, I’d always been attracted to bad boys… but usually I was smart enough to stay away from them. Ah… sothatwas the problem, if this all worked out, I’d beforcedto get close to him. Hell, I’d be married to the bastard!
I didn’t get his need for dominance, though I suspected something had happened to him. Hell, Saldrea had happened to him and her treatment of his sister might have been enough to give him control issues. And he’d saidsomething about his parents imprisoning him, just for disagreeing with them?
I completely understood controlling parents who were assholes. And to a degree, I could sympathize with being a fish out of water, a titan in a world of elves. All of that together meant I’d apparently given him enough leeway for sexy feelings to take over. And we’d certainly had chemistry, even if it was the dangerous explosive type of chemistry.
I didn’t mind a guy taking control in the bedroom, nor did I mind being in control. I could go either way. Sometimes it was sexy to have a man be all manly, as long as he wasn’t an arrogant ass about it.
Bayn seriously needed to learn to compromise and let go. Though… he had agreed to all my conditions… so maybe he was slowly coming around? I couldn’t be sure, because he also hadn’t seemed happy about accepting my terms.
I huffed out another breath.
Koar slipped his hand into mine. His hands were large, but not Bayn large. The way the titan had wrapped his hands around my waist, like I was some tiny, slender waif of a woman!
Stop. Thinking. About. Him!
I thought about Koar instead. “Thanks for trusting me back there,” I said. “It couldn’t have been easy for you, staying outside.”
He grunted and nodded.
Typical Koar reaction.
“And… thanks for coming running, even if I wasn’t actually in trouble.”
“Any time.”
He pulled me a little closer and removed his hand from mine to hug me around the shoulders. I leaned into him, head resting on his shoulder as we walked.
This was nice.
