“Sweetheart, you’re perfect,” I managed to say before kissing her on the lips. “He doesn’t lie,” I winked, glancing at my cock between us.

There was another knock on the door interrupting our moment, and we broke apart.

Vanya excused herself to speak to the staff.

Meanwhile, I quickly dressed, now impatient to get back to bed as soon as I had something in my belly to tide me over.

“Dinner?” she prompted again, pulling on some slippers and standing by the door.

I did the last of the buttons up on my borrowed shirt and grabbed the coat for extra warmth. “Yes, let’s go.”

We followed the servant to the dining hall where we were treated to a simple yet ample fair. Then, with our bellies full, it was time to return to bed.

Chapter 14

Vanya

DINNER WAS GREAT, ANDthe servants were courteous and lovely, as always. My sister, Jessa, had lived with them for almost ten years on and off, so they all knew me. Jaegar earned many curious looks, but the staff were kind and tried not to stare—which I appreciated,a lot.

He still didn’t seem to understand who he was or what he was capable of.

To me, it was obvious. He could do great things. But whether he wanted to or not was a very different question. He’d been born in poverty and thrust into the royal limelight. It was definitely a lot to digest, so my heart went out to him, though royal life was all I’d ever known.

“Are you ready for bed now?” he asked, having polished off two plates of food.

I nodded, pushing my own half full plate away. I’d served myself too much, thinking I’d be able to eat more after our long flight. “Yes, definitely. Though, I may need a shower.”

Jaegar’s grin was wicked as he stood up and took my hand. “A shower is a great idea.”

I rose from my seat and moved away from the table.

He placed his hand on the small of my back, sending a shiver of longing through me as we made our way to our room. As soon as we stepped inside our quarters, his arms went tight around my waist.

My eyes closed on a breathy sigh, and heat washed over me.

His lips pressed to my neck, trailing luxurious kisses down the side of my throat.

I tilted my head, giving him better access, eager to be ravaged by my fated mate.

His hands came up to cup my breasts and he tweaked my nipples through the fabric of my borrowed dress.

My knees turned to water. Without a second thought, I twisted in his arms, grabbing hold of his shirt to kiss him hard. I didn’t want a soft seduction tonight, I wanted to feel him inside of me, rugged and strong. I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist, the dress pooling between us.

“Shower?” He panted as he caught me and held me close.

I nodded, pressing my lips to his neck and tasting his sweat. The taste of his heated skin and his scent, just like everything else about him, was delicious.

He walked us into the large ensuite and put me down, and didn’t step away. He simply leaned forward and kissed me, all the while stripping his clothes from his body and mine from me.

When we were finally naked, I leaped at him again, wanting to feel his rippling muscles against my fair, soft skin.

He lifted me into his arms once more and walked us into the shower, where he fiddled with the taps until water flowed over us.

I gasped out aloud at the initial blast as cold water prickled my skin, making my nipples pebble into tight peaks.

“Sorry, baby,” Jaegar gasped out and pressed me against the tiles behind us.

Soon hot water began to pour over us, and I forced my heavy eyes open so I could stare up into his ice-blue eyes. They were flecked with the silver of his dragon and stole my breath away. “God, you’re beautiful,” I managed to say, cupping his jaw as I stared up into his face.”
