Page 48 of Song of Her Siren

I spun back around, giving them a helpless look. What if they fell into the water? It didn’t matter if they knew how to swim. Their heavy skirts would weigh them down. Besides, it was far too cold outside, even if the water was heated.

Triss will just float, Isa said.She knows not to fly.She nudged the little dragon’s wing.Don’t you, hatchling?

Triss answered with a happy grunt.

I twisted the hem of my dress while giving my mates nervous looks. “What if they fall off?”

Ash shrugged. “Then they swim to shore.”

I made an exasperated sound.

Or we pluck them from the water, Isa said.

I clutched my throat. “Pluck them?”

Radnor’s laugh echoed in my skull as he glared down at my children.We’ll try not to swallow them.

I curled my fingers into claws. “I still have that flatulence spell.”

He snorted at that.I’ll aim my behind at your doors all night.

Enough, Isa snarled, jarring against Radnor’s shoulder before turning back to me with a fanged grin.We can see under water, Goddess, even in the dark.

Radnor moaned like an injured lamb, looking at his mate as if she’d just stomped on his huge ballsack. Served him right.

I blinked up at Isa. “But it’s cold outside.”

She arched a scaled brow.You do know we breathe fire?

We’ll build a fire if they get cold, Radnor said, sounding far too contrite,or they can take shelter beneath my chest.

Shelter beneath his chest? I gave my mates a disbelieving look.Hell must’ve frozen over. Radnor is being nice.

Helian laughed aloud, ignoring Radnor’s snarls.

They’re fine, Isa reassured me again.

My shoulders fell as I reluctantly agreed. “Very well.”

The girls squealed and ran to Triss, climbing up her back like little squirrels.

Ash pulled me to his side, rumbling in my ear. “You’re too tense, Tari.”

I held my breath while watching Ember struggle to get up Isa’s scales. “I know.”

Ash wrapped a possessive arm around my waist, his large fingers fanning out across my side. “I know what you need—what we all need.”

Heat flooded my veins when his fingers grazed the underside of my breast. “The girls?”

Helian hovered over me, his breath hot and heavy in my ear. “There’s a private area inside the temple.”

We’ll watch them.Isa nudged me with her snout.Go, Goddess.

I watched helplessly as the three dragons waddled into the water, my daughters giggling while riding Triss’s back.

Before I could object, Helian and Ash were pulling me to the other side of the pond. There were several benches and a wall next to stone steps that led to a shallow area.

Ash and Helian pulled me behind the wall that barely went up to my chin and quickly disrobed before helping me out of my skirts and underthings until we were all naked. I crossed my arms over my breasts when my nipples hardened in the cold air. I scanned the area, hoping nobody found us, then giggled while following my mates deeper into the pond until I could no longer touch the bottom. Good thing my father had taught me how to swim.
