Chapter 35: I love it

"Okay. I will not touch you." Valerion assured and Eamon blinked in surprise, wondering why the dragon was suddenly agreeing.

"Good." He replied as he felt his tense muscles start to relax and he began to enjoy the warm water.

Valerion had promised not to touch him but Eamon was still very aware of his intent gaze.

Valerion was going have to endure this sweet torture.

Standing so close to Eamon without being able to touch him was nearly rendering him insane.

He just found it impossible to tear his eyes away from his mate.

Eamon’s thick chestnut colored hair was a perfect compliment to those coffee brown eyes that were looking back at him and his chiseled torso was quite enticing.

Valerion’s jaw was tight as he remained rooted on his spot, imagining his hands running all over Eamon’s abdomen and abs.

He inhaled sharply as shut his eyes and scooped up some water to start bathing.

Valerion wet his hair and Eamon keenly noticed the way it glimmered in the natural lighting of the room.

Eamon gulped as he looked away and continued washing his body.

When they were done, Eamon was pulled into a trance as he watched the dragon shamelessly step out of the water, unashamed of his nakedness.

This time, Eamon couldn’t help staring at his back as he walked away.

He had a broad muscular back whose muscles flexed as he walked and a pair of round buttocks that looked soft.

Eamon imagined touching them and confirming his thoughts.

He swallowed hard as his eyes trailed lower.

Valerion legs were lean and long, giving him a graceful yet powerful movement.

Eamon liked what he was seeing and he slowly averted his eyes as a soft sigh escaped his lips.

Could this dragon be any less perfect!?

Valerion wrapped a towel around his waist and brought one for Eamon too.

Since his mate was still shy, Valerion turned his back to give him his privacy.

Eamon was pleased by the thoughtful gesture and once he was done, they walked back to Valerion’s room to get dressed.

"Are you hungry?" Valerion asked Eamon who was still behind the curtain, getting dressed.

"Yes." Eamon replied as he stepped out, wearing a robe that was just the perfect shade of green.

"I know what you are going to say and we are going to cook together." Eamon told him and Valerion’s lips curled up into a small smirk that made his breath hitch.

What was this mischievous dragon thinking?

"Together? Are we already a ’we’ ?" Valerion asked teasingly and Eamon’s cheeks flashed at the realization that this dragon thought he was telling him that they were a couple.

"You...you know what I mean!" Eamon shrieked and Valerion’s smirk widened.

"No, I don’t." He replied innocently and Eamon’s blush deepened.

"You do. Say another word on this and I am going to kick you." Eamon threatened, his face as serious as he could make it.

"You like violence." Valerion pointed out and Eamon blinked.

Usually, he was a calm person but this dragon effortlessly got on his nerves and made his blood boil.

"It’s all your fault. I am only this way around you." He accused and Valerion smiled, truly pleased.

"It’s okay. I love it when you are like this." He confessed and Eamon’s mouth opened and closed with no words coming out for a while.

This dragon liked him whenever he was violent.

The underlying meaning in his words made Eamon blush.

"Let’s go and cook something. I am starving." He finally spoke and dashed out of the room before Valerion could reply.

They sat at the wooden dinning table and had breakfast once they were done cooking. Eamon occasionally threw glances at the dragon that seemed to eat much more than him.

"What are you going to do today?" He asked curiously.

"I have a place on the council and duties to perform. I will be heading over to the royal house." Valerion replied, not really pointing out that he was the leader of the enforcers.

It was basically a seizable group of dragons that flew around, burning down enemies of the kingdom.

Valerion didn’t want Eamon seeing this side of him just when their relationship was starting to make progress.

His mate seemed relaxed and a bit more talkative around him and Valerion didn’t want that to change.

"What about me?" Eamon asked,the idea of staying in this place all day and doing nothing extremely boring.

"I will take you with me so that I can be there to protect you just in case of any thing." Valerion replied, his voice laced with an underlying fear that didn’t go unoticed by Eamon.

What was this strong and mighty dragon afraid of?

He pondered the thought as he slowly chewed on the food in his mouth.

"Okay." He agreed and Valerion seemed relaxed after his reply.

They left the house and took a busy and lively road towards the royal house that was built up on a hill.

It was unlike all of the other houses because it was actually built on the ground and it’s architecture was quite unique yet it didn’t differ much from that of the humans.

Valerion kept Eamon protectively close to this side and Eamon’s ears were slightly red as he noticed their entwined fingers for the hundredth time.

It felt so natural and right to hold this dragon’s hand.

People kept looking at them, their eyes alert yet curious and Eamon offered everyone that looked at him a polite and calm smile.

They were visibly shocked at his small actions while Valerion was more unbothered by all the attention.

Eamon noticed how all the people kept their distance from them and it didn’t take ages to know that Valerion was responsible.

This dragon’s aura was now intimidating and nearly indifferent.

He was no longer the same teasing and mischievous man Eamon was slowly getting used to.

Once they arrived at their destination, Valerion’s taunt muscles relaxed and his aura shifted to a calm one.

His mate was safe here.

"Good morning." Ezekiel greeted both of them as he approached and they both replied.

"Can I take your mate for a while?" Ezekiel asked Eamon once they were inside a large room that had a few other people around.

Eamon’s ears reddened.

He hadn’t thought of Valerion as his mate!

A faint smile adorned his lips as he nodded in approval.

"Sure." He replied and Valerion leaned in and placed a kiss on his cheek, catching Eamon off guard.
