“Dragon babies are extremely precious to us.”

Caspian smiled. “I would hope so.” He winced when he moved but continued to roll to his side. “I don’t know about you, but I want a shower.”

“Yes,” I said. It was going to be a messy dash to the bathroom, but I was completely in agreement with having a shower. “I do not know how long it will take for the water to heat up though. I haven’t been in the cabin in some time, although I think my family watches over it from time to time.”

Caspian stood and nodded. “No worry about that. I can have hot water waiting on us.”

I felt a cool breeze on my cock, followed by warmth. When I looked down, it was to find that the mess that had been covering me was now gone. I grinned. It was going to be quite the experience being mated to a warlock.

Caspian had started for the bathroom door, and I lay there for a moment on my side, staring at his backside as he walked away. He was truly a beautiful man, and I was incredibly grateful that he was now mine.

“Are you coming, or are you going to lie there and stare at my ass?”

I chuckled again. “I already came, remember?” I called out. Caspian’s head reappeared in the doorway, and he shook his head at me.

“Tell me why again that you didn’t live here already?”

I rolled out of bed and followed my mate at a slow pace. I entered the bathroom, knowing why he had asked that question. There was a large window on one wall, and in the daytime, it provided a gorgeous view of the mountain.

“There is a massive window in here. And a tub right in front of it big enough for two.” Caspian pointed at the shower. “Should we even discuss that shower?”

I chuckled. “You know the reason I did not live here before.”

Caspian nodded. “Would you rather we live in the enforcer housing?”

“Nyet,” I told him. “You wish to be here. I want to be here with you. This cabin will provide us with all of the room we could possibly need for our future family.” There were five bedrooms, including ours. That meant we could have four children before they would need to share rooms. Once the babies started arriving, I wasn’t sure Caspian would still wish for so many, but if he was, I wouldn’t say no.

The water in the shower was already steaming and falling from the showerhead on the ceiling. There were glass walls enclosing it on two sides, and the shorter side that was natural stone had a full-length bench. Aside from being useful during sex, I didn’t understand why there was a bench in the shower. But we were paranormals, and we were all about our mates.

“Did you wish for a tour? Or are you ready to step into the shower?”

Caspian reached out, and after he took my hand, he led me to the enclosed shower that was filled with steam. Some of itbillowed out as we opened the door and stepped in. Shortly after, I discovered that Caspian wet and soapy was one of my new favorite things. That and having a warlock for a mate definitely had its advantages.

Chapter 10

Caspian

Every day was a new experience with Dimitri. Plans had been made for the day after we had claimed one another, but the storm outside was relentless and kept us inside. Not that either of us would ever complain about that. But plans were quickly altered when my mind began to become fuzzy, and I started to feel incredibly hot later that evening. Dimitri knew exactly what was happening, and my next actual coherent thought was when I woke up in bed in our new cabin.

I was alone, which was a bit of a surprise. The room was full of natural light, so perhaps that was why. I rolled over onto my back and groaned. My body hurt. I couldn’t ever remember hurting like this before. My head was throbbing, and my mouth was dry and tasted…not fresh.

I heard Dimitri before he entered the bedroom, but when he did, he was wearing a pair of very low-hanging sweatpants and nothing else. He was also carrying a tray of some sort. When he noticed me, he hurried to set it on the foot of the bed and moved to my side.

“What day is it?” I asked.

“Sunday.”

“Really?”

“Ja.”

It was hard to believe that it was only Sunday. It was a good thing, though, because I would need to call my fathers and let them know I wouldn’t be returning to Madrid just yet. I needed a few more days with Dimitri before I considered going back, even half days.

“That’s good. I would have thought I’d been here more than two days with how I’m feeling.”

Dimitri looked at me with concern. “It is not the first Sunday. You have been here over a week now.”

I froze for a moment before panic set in. I sat up quickly, immediately regretting it. My head started throbbing, and the sharp pain in my ass told me that it had seen quite a bit of action in the very recent past.
