Brayden was going to make it his life’s work to allow Harden to be this open, this relaxed at their home. He swore it. He just had to what? Manifest it? Something like that. Ask the universe…
Harden took his hand and led him into a warm pool of water. It surrounded him with warmth, and his knees went weak. “This is amazing.”
“I know, yes? It is perfect for dragons, and I love how it relaxes my muscles.”
“Goddess, yes.”
Harden swam away, then came back, swirling around him, stroking his ass on the way.
Oh, was he being flirted with? He wasn’t sure if he wanted to get all dragony in the water if they were going to get busy. Although they could do one, then the other…
Harden swam through his legs, rubbing along him happily.
Oh, evil mate. His entire body shivered, his nipples going hard. He gave chase, wanting to get his hands on that slippery, firm, wonderful body.
Harden led him on a merry chase, letting him get close enough to touch, then floating off.
“I’m going to wear you out when I get a hold of you, baby.” Brayden was laughing, just loving this.
“Promises, promises.” Harden’s laugh filled the air, warm and sensual. He loved this side of Harden.
“Who are you and what did you do with my mate?” he teased, and Harden popped out of the water, the wind rippling the surface.
“I am right here, my poor addled dragon.”
“You are a menace.” He was having a ball. He’d never seen Harden having so much fun, he was reluctant to end it too soon, so he kept up the chase. Harden was sleek and beautiful and so good at swimming for someone who was not a water dragon.
Wind is very much like water, if you think about it. It goes in streams; it eddies and swirls. You, my wonderful fire dragon, you are out of your element. Me, less so.
True enough. But I do have a few tricks up my sleeve.
He let his hand heat up with the fire that he had inside him and then smoothed it over the water — just enough to make some mist, not enough to heat the water to where Harden wouldn’t be able to stay in it, but enough to make it where Harden couldn’t see him easily. Then he dove under the fog that he created and came up right in front of Harden..
Harden’s shocked, happy cry filled the air and made him smile. His mate leapt, wrapping around him and bringing their naked bodies together, which left him a little bit breathless and a lot aroused.
So he took the kiss he really wanted, keeping them afloat by moving his feet and legs gently. It wasn’t too deep, but enough that he couldn’t touch bottom right here.
He didn’t want them to sink below the surface and mess up the kiss. That would suck because it was just getting good.
Harden opened to him, trusting him to keep them above water.
He felt an immense amount of pride in that trust and he would never, ever betray it, even for something as fun and silly as swimming in the heated pools. As the kiss deepened he paddled them backward so his feet could touch the slick rock on the bottom of the pool. He wanted to be able to hold Harden in his arms and not lose his grip.
Together they were on fire, both of them about to set the water boiling. A soft breeze curled around them, cooling them off just a little bit, and it was a relief because he was overheated and afraid he would burn his mate skin on skin.
The thought made him smile, diving deeper into the kisses.
You could never hurt me. Never. I belong with you. I need you.
You were made for me, Harden. You’re my mate, the omega father of my children. Well, my future children
Yes. Now, take me to the edge of the pool. I need to sit on the rock and cool off a moment
That was perfect. He could take Harden to the edge of the pool, sit him there, and then use his mouth on him.
Harden settled on the edge of the pool, dangling his feet, his smile broad. “I was getting warm.”
“Well, this is a fine situation though. I like it.
