Chapter 31: eye catching

Eamon turned to look at Valerion who was suddenly quiet.

"Do you have a tree house?" Eamon asked, finding the silence between them increasingly unatural.

"No, I have a cave." Valerion replied as they brunched off the main route and took a smaller one into the woods.

"Do you want a tree house?" Valerion asked and Eamon was surprised.

The tree houses looked really nice but he wasn’t sure he wanted one.

Valerion took his silence as a yes.

"I will build one for you." Valerion declared and Eamon blinked, his cheeks flashing as he looked at the dragon that was dead serious.

"I didn’t ask for one but thank you." Eamon replied and Valerion looked pleased.

"You are welcome." Valerion answered, glad that he could do something for his mate.

"Wait, you can build?" Eamon asked, remembering the huge sizes of the tree houses he had seen. He suddenly felt bad for making Valerion decide to build him one.

It looked like a lot of work and he wasn’t sure how long he planned to stay here.

"I can do plenty of things. It comes with the years. I have lived for centuries." Valerion explained and Eamon turned to look at him.

It all made perfect sense, dragons had really long life spans.

"How old are you?" He asked.

"Five hundred thirty five years." Valerion replied casually and Eamon was awestruck, finding it quite difficult to believe.

The dragon didn’t look older than twenty eight.

"You look really young." Eamon pointed out the obvious, his brows furrowing into a small frown as the realization hit him.

He could grow old and wrinkly while Valerion got to remain young.

"The purer the blood, the slower a dragon ages." Valerion explained a few things as they continued to walk along the narrow path that led to his house.

"I will grow old while you will remain young." Eamon spoke his thoughts and Valerion stopped moving and turned to fully face him.

"Once we mate, the magic in my blood will keep you from aging." He explained, a mischievous idea crossing his mind.

"Do you want to mate with me, Eamon?" He then asked, hoping to tempt his mate.

The appeal of half immortality didn’t sway Eamon who glared at him.

"You really want to get kicked again, don’t you?" He asked and Valerion chuckled, his laughter deep and natural.

Eamon blinked, getting increasingly addicted to the sound of this dragon’s laughter.

"We are here." Valerion announced as his hand that was around Eamon’s wrist reluctantly slipped away to find his keys.

The surroundings around the cave were neat and organized in a way Eamon liked.

Large trees surrounded the compound and wild flowers were scattered across the lawn.

The entire place excluded a natural and mystical aura that Eamon was quickly associating with Valerion.

This place suited him.

Valerion opened the large wooden door that led into the interior of a rocky yet comfortable cave.

The floor were covered with thick carpets and the walls were smooth.

The interior of the cave was spacious and furnished in away that reminded Eamon of human houses.

There was a fireplace, sofas and a dinning table at one corner.

Valerion tugged his mate towards his bedroom.

"We will be sleeping here." Valerion told him and Eamon took in the view of the room that was adorned with rich browns, greens and gold. The colors created a comfortable yet majestic and luxurious atmosphere.

"We?" He whispered the question that Valerion had expected.

He had a couple more bedrooms in the house but...

"I cannot let my mate sleep alone. It’s for security reasons." He replied, his voice as serious as he could make it and it was partially the truth.

Valerion couldn’t be able for fall asleep without Eamon close by and safe.

His worry and nightmares could keep him awake.

Valerion’s greatest fear was not being able to protect the people he valued.

He knew he was strong but he had still let down his first family. Valerion still blamed himself for what happened to them.

Eamon was now his family and he could protect him with his life and besides... seducing Eamon could be much more effortless.

Eamon’s body felt hot at the thought of sleeping in the same bed with this dragon.

He desperately wanted to believe that the only reason Valerion wanted him inside his bed was to protect him but knowing the mischievous dragon, Eamon knew there was more.

He could only prepare his heart for the endless seduction he saw in his near future.

Valerion took him everywhere he went and Eamon strangely had no problem being glued to the dragon’s side all day long.

They visited several merchants and Valerion picked out clothes for Eamon.

The dragon had good taste because most of his choices included shades of brown, green, gold and black that complimented Eamon’s looks.

The way dragons wore was quite different from humans and it exposed a lot of skin.

All the dragons Eamon saw had fine bodies and seemed to fancy wearing alot of golden jewelry.

Perhaps it was a way to symbolise beauty and a love for the refined and luxurious things the world had to offer.

Dragons’ love for the sparkly things was common knowledge and Valerion picked out jewelry for Eamon too.

Men wore two or one upper arm bracelets and a necklace that hang freely over an exposed torso.

Most had their lower bodies covered with a relatively short skirt that reached just below their mid thighs and was held in place with a golden belt.

Eamon felt naked once he was done wearing the forest green fabric Valerion had given him.

Valerion blinked and then smirked in satisfaction once he saw Eamon. The few people that were passing by the stall also stopped to stare at the less sturdy yet well built human male. He was fine and Valerion’s mood instantly darkened once he noticed the looks of admiration his mate was receiving.

His possessiveness stirred.

"Go and change into this." Valerion ushered Eamon back behind the screen after giving him a black silk robe that was less exposing.

Eamon wore the robe that left a reasonable amount of his chest exposed and it was long enough and comfortable.

After fastening the thick golden belt around his waist, Eamon stepped out from behind the curtain and Valerion still stared.

"You look good." He drawled, admiration clear in his voice.

Eamon’s cheeks flashed slightly at the public compliment.

"Thank you." He replied and Valerion quickly changed into a velvet blue robe and they left the shop.

Valerion glared at everyone that had their eyes lingering on his mate.

"You are too eye catching." Valerion complained lightly as he wished he could keep his mate hidden away somewhere.
