'Not now, Q. We must win her trust in us first .'
His dragon was practically purring from just having her body up against his. ' Oh, I know we must wait, but she is so incredibly soft. And pretty. And smart. And…so…our mate.'
Both man and dragon sighed as Zen gazed down at his beauty. He counted himself a very, very lucky man. Soft dark brown curls were trapped between his arm and the back of her neck, but his hand still itched to run his fingers through them. And though her eyes were closed now, he remembered from earlier that she had the softest moss-green eyes he had ever seen. As he studied her sleeping face in detail, he wanted to place the tip of his tongue on the very edge of her slightly upturned button nose. And those lips. Her lips were made for kissing a man for hours, something both he and his dragon yearned for.
Thankfully, the castle was quiet when he entered. He did not want to take a chance on running into King Thoran, afraid he might get a lecture on allowing his new Earthling mate to get drunk on her first night in a new land. Thankfully, there was a guest bedroom right across from his own, and he settled her in there, pulling back the bedcovers before removing her shoes and tucking her in gently. Q was trying to convince him she would be more comfortable without her clothing on, and she might well be, but he wanted her trust more than anything. Waking up in the morning to find out he had undressed her when she had been helpless did not seem like a very good way to start earning that trust.
He forced his feet to walk back out the door, quietly but firmly shutting it behind him, and walked across the hall to his own bedroom.
Chapter Seven
King Thoran slipped silently into the room that held his two sons and their mate. He stood undetected by the door for a moment, listening in on his sons’ telepathic conversation.
They were on either side of their mate, each holding one of her hands. ' I wonder how mad father is at us ,' Adrian asked.
' I don’t know, but what’s done is done, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat to know I was saving our mate ,' Aiden growled.
' I agree, brother. I just hope father feels the same way. Maybe we shouldn’t have brought Angel. He is not going to be mad over us bringing Evangelina; he would have been irate if we had not brought her under these circumstances. It’s going to be Angel’s presence that will be the problem.'
' Don’t worry about it, brother. When father comes in, I want you to stay silent. Someone needs to stay and care for our mate. I shall take whatever punishment he wants to dish out for bringing Angel. You just promise me to stay with Evangelina until I return.' The king could easily sense Aiden’s loyalty to the throne, his family, and to his mate in that statement. He cleared his throat.
“That will not be necessary, Aiden.”
Both sons jumped slightly in their seats as they realized their father was standing behind them and had probably heard every word they had communicated. Their father was a powerful mind-reader and as such, could pick up on his sons’ telepathic conversations from quite a good distance away. The fact he had probably been standing right behind them the entire time was not lost on them.
They both sat quietly as the king gazed softly down at the young woman in the bed. She would one day be the queen of his country. “You two are off the hook for bringing Angel. It turns out she is Zen’s mate.”
“Really?” Adrian asked in disbelief.
“Yes, they are at dinner now. He knows she is human and will have to take it slow with her, but since she is his mate, she is now under my protection.” The king stopped and looked at both of his sons. “Why did you bring her? There was no way of knowing that she was someone’s mate, and you would have put me in a very difficult spot trying to figure out what to do with her once she had knowledge of us.”
“Father, first of all, you must
