Aiding the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons 7) - Page 108
He traced a finger down her cheek. “I think by now we love each other the same amount. Although, if you need some convincing, we could sneak away for an hour. My dragon and I can tag team to ensure you know how much we both treasure you.”
She fought a smile and lost the battle. Aaron did spoil her. “As tempting as that is, we need to dance first or the clan will notice we’re gone.”
He raised his brows. “Surely in your condition you can make excuses.”
She rolled her eyes. “Right, and give fodder for the rumor mills about how I can’t handle a little dragon-shifter growing inside of me. No, we need to do the opposite.” She leaned back and stood. Putting out an arm, she asked, “Will you dance with me, Aaron Caruso?”
Without hesitating, he rose and threaded his arm through hers. “Let’s show everyone how it’s done. But no bloody fancy Irish dancing.”
She grinned. “You’re getting better.” He growled, and she laughed. “Okay, then we’ll do the same as our first dance. You know that one pretty well. And since I have clothes on, you shouldn’t be distracted.”
His gaze zeroed in on her breasts, and Teagan’s nipples tightened
as he murmured, “There’s plenty to distract me.”
Taking a deep breath, she thought of DDA regulations and training exercises to keep her cheeks from flushing pink. After a lot of practice, she was finally getting the hang of keeping desire from showing plain on her face.
Her beast huffed. I don’t understand why you try to hide it.
It’s a human thing. That should be enough of an explanation.
Whatever. Just hurry up and dance so we can play with Aaron and his dragon. I have a few new ideas of how to tease him.
Her dragon fell silent as they walked past Orla talking with Aaron’s mother and Teagan’s mother. She waved to her mother-in-law. Molly Caruso and her own mother had become fast friends. Together, they sometimes even won against Orla.
She and Aaron soon reached the audio setup. Teagan asked for the song and guided Aaron to the dance floor. As the first notes filled the air, Teagan stared at her mate and couldn’t stop smiling.
Between her mate, her future child, and her family, she had plenty of love. The clan only added more.
And together they would make it the best future they could.
