“I am. There is no need for you to wear it in our room.”
“Thank you.”
The instant Vanra took off the amulet, his heat scent unfurled into a tantalizing aroma that beckoned to Kitaro’s dragon. It was even stronger now than it had been the day it started. The spicy sweetness of his heat scent made his dragon go into overdrive.
Kitaro had to fight harder than he was willing to admit to stop his dragon from surfacing to meet the call, but he refused to give Vanra a reason to regret trusting him. Despite his noble intentions, Kitaro subtly shifted positions to hide the fact that he was already hard from such a short exposure.
Vanra studied the pendant with a confused look. “How can such a smallthing make me so tired?”
“It is a testament to your immense power that you lasted so long with it,” Kitaro praised Vanra. “I should have said something earlier about taking breaks from wearing it. Please forgive me for the oversight.”
“No, it’s totally fine. I feel bad having to ask at all.”
“I am glad that you did,” Kitaro told him. “I would have felt awful if you had stayed silent and pushed yourself to the point of collapse.”
Vanra sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. “Yeah, that definitely sounds like me.”
Kitaro could clearly see how weary Vanra looked. Despite his arousal, his need to take care of the human took precedence. “Perhaps it would be best if you called it a night.”
The relief was clear on his face. “Would you mind?”
“Not at all.”
“Thanks.” Vanra put his towel in the lacquer cabinet before getting into bed as fast as he could.
Kitaro knew he should do the polite thing and leave to give Vanra the privacy to fall asleep, but he couldn’t make himself do that. It was too tempting to remain in the embrace of Vanra’s heat scent. It was surely more heavenly than anything in the Divine Realm. He couldn’t believe such a simple thing was so satisfying, but it left him wanting even more.
His dragon pushed him to approach the bed. They wouldn’t be able to focus on anything else, so there was no reason not to join Vanra. It also hadthe added benefit of putting him closer to the source of the delicious smell permeating the room. Once he was safely under the covers, he used magic to make his clothes disappear. It allowed him the dignity to hide the fact he was still rock hard with arousal.
Vanra playfully pouted. “Show-off.”
“Occasionally.”
“You really don’t have to call it an early night just because I am.”
“There is nowhere else I would rather be.” Kitaro could hear Vanra’s heart beat faster in response to his words. It gave him the hope that he wasn’t the only one feeling the pull of attraction.
Vanra pulled the covers tighter around him to hide his smile. “Good night.”
“Sleep sweet, Vanra.” Kitaro used his powers to turn off the lights.
Because of his exhaustion, Vanra fell asleep almost immediately. Kitaro envied the human because he was in for a sleepless night.
Under the cover of darkness, his dragon fully emerged to indulge in Vanra’s heat scent. His eyes glowed in the dark as he watched the human sleeping. His dragon wanted to take Vanra in ways that were impossible because of their circumstances. Thoughts of having the mage pinned under him in the throes of passion made his hardness ache with need. It would be crude to take advantage of his position as Vanra’sprotector, but that didn’t make it any less of a challenge to not want to kiss him senseless.
His dragon ached to take himself in hand, to find relief from his building lust for Vanra, but Kitaro refused to allow it to happen. He was not so base as to masturbate next to Vanra while he slept, so Kitaro stoically did his best to ignore his cock’s demands for some much-needed attention. They would not give in to their desire for Vanra.
Chapter 28
Auslin
When Auslin awoke, he noticed a hard length pressed against his ass. He reflexively moved against it. The lightest touch of claws ghosting over his skin aroused Auslin in his not-yet-fully awake haze. He moaned as the touch drifted even lower on his hip.
Still in the fog of dreams, it took some moments before Auslin remembered he was in a time where no one would be interested in doing those kinds of things with him. He made a confused noise and tried to look over his shoulder.
“You have awoken.” Kitaro’s deep, sensuous rumble made Auslin’s heartbeat quicken.
“Kitaro?” Auslin wasn’t awake enough to understand how it was possible that he was lying in Kitaro’s embrace with the shifter’s sizable erection pressed against him.
