Page 49 of Protecting my Human
“Someone’s in a mood,” Oliver remarked.
“I do believe he might be having post-coital regret.”I didn’t hide what happened between us.
Oliver snorted.“Having known him longer, I’m going to say that’s not regret but rather possessive anxiety.”
“Meaning what?”I asked, spearing a potato.
“For one, he’s rethinking his decision to bring you to Nessie because he is concerned for your well-being.Two, he likely thought bedding you would cure his attraction, and has since realized it’s only made it worse.Which leads to problem number three, you’re human.”
“And?”
“And humans have short life spans in comparison to dragons.He wants to not care for you, wants to keep his emotional distance, but can’t, and that angers him because he knows you’ll die and he’ll have to live on.”
I pursed my lips.“I’m not so sure you’re right.He stated numerous times dragons don’t feel emotions.”
“He lies.Alistair might claim to not care, but he does, hence why he keeps himself apart from others.”
“I can understand him not wanting to deal with loss, but doesn’t he realize by isolating himself, he also denies himself the chance for joy?”
Oliver shrugged.“Never claimed it made sense.”
“I’m going to have a chat with him.”
“Good luck.He’s stubborn.”
He most certainly was, but I wouldn’t let that scare me away.I checked my bedroom first, then his.The bathroom door was closed, and I could hear water running.
To the bold came the rewards.I stripped and entered the steamy chamber.
“Davina?Is something wrong?”Alistair immediately stuck his head past the curtain, and his eyes widened.“What are you doing?
“Turning your frown upside down.Move aside, I’m coming in.”
“Listen, Davina, last night was?—”
“Fun.So don’t bother lying.And don’t even try to say it was only a one-time thing.Your body says otherwise.”My gaze dipped to his erection poking at the shower curtain.
“We need to be focused on our meeting with Nessie, not frolicking.”
“I agree on the focused part, but how am I supposed to do that when all I want is to feel you inside me?”
He groaned.“Don’t say that.You don’t want me.”
“Pretty sure I do, and that the feeling is mutual.Now move aside and share that shower.”
Rather than argue, he made space for me in the shower-tub combo.
“You do realize this can’t be anything more than sex.”
I arched a brow.“Who said I wanted anything other than your body?”
Then, before he could keep saying nonsense, I crouched and put my mouth on his cock.
ChapterFourteen
I’d madea mistake seducing Davina.I should have known one taste wouldn’t be enough.That fucking her would only make my need to possess her more intense.It was why I’d slid from the bed shortly after dawn, needing to put distance between us.Why I’d done my best to ignore her while I cooked breakfast, even as I wanted to drag her back to bed.
When the minx ran her foot up my leg, if not for the avidly watching Oliver, I would have swept the table and taken her on it.
