Eloraâs POV We organise a bed and a few things for Pluto to make him more comfortable in the stables, Silas had been following me around all morning, and even helped me take everything that was on the Patriciaâs list over to the orphanage. She nearly tripped over her own feet when we she greeted us, not expecting Silas to be with me, people were still wary of him.
Untrusting, but it was to expected and Silas never took insult from it. He actually apologised for scaring her when he grabbed her, steadying her on her feet. Silas even helped clean out the rain gutters and fixed the swing sets out the back for the children, by the time I was done talking with Patricia he came back inside covered in dirt and mud and smelling of stagnant water from the blocked gutters.
âCan we head home, I need to shower unless you have anything else on that list for me to doâ He asks, wrapping his arms around me and covering me in dirt.
âSilas your filthyâ I screech at him as he presses his face into my neck.
âHmm now you can shower with meâ He says below my ear. Patricia chuckles at him, shaking her head as she went to find the new people that had been hired to help her.
Turning around, I wrap my arms around his neck pecking his lips before stepping back.
I take off my cloak. He raises an eyebrow at me wondering what I am doing, when I toss it at him, hitting him in the face with it and running out the doors heading outside.
âIâll race youâ I yell back at him before letting my wings free and springing off my feet, letting them carry me through the air. Lilith and a few others come rushing out looking up at me.
âI canât shift here without destroying somethingâ Silas calls up to me.
âWell, you better run fastâ I tell him. Silas huffs staring up at me, his hand on his hips.
âWhat not up for the challenge Silas?â I taunt him.
âWhat do I get if I win?â He calls back, Patricia walks out looking up at me a smile on her face.
âThatâs so coolâ I hear her say next to Silas. Silas hands her my cloak and she takes it.
âWhat do you want?â I ask him.
âI have a few things in mindâ He answers mysteriously.
âFine but if I win, you have to help me fix the backyard up on the orphanage, itâs a forest out thereâ
âDealâ He says before he takes off, I turn heading for the castle thinking it will be an easy win as I fly over the houses and a large park, I head up higher the breeze making me shiver looking for any sign of him when I see him run through the park, I could just make out his laugh before he suddenly shifts.
âShit!â I didnât think of him finding some where he could shift. His golden dragon gleaming under the light as he fly towards me and I take off, my wings cutting through the air easily as he chased after me.
He flyâs directly under me, before rolling in the air, his wings making a gust of wind pushing me back as he heads toward the castle. I hear his chest rumble and know he is laughing at me.
Seeing the castle come in to view, I force my wings to go faster but the wind gust from his wings was making me fly all over the place and I realise thatâs why he keeps flying in my path, I see the stables and dart beneath him, heading down and I hear him growl. Darting after me, before I shriek when his talons touch my wings and I have to drop them, letting them bleed back into my skin as he cages me in his gigantic claws, he lands on one foot before opening his Talons letting me fall on my butt. He shifts back and I turn on him.
âI winâ He announces.
âYou cheatedâ I accuse, slapping his bare chest. He wraps his arms around my waist pulling me to him.
âYou never said I couldnâtâ He smiles before pecking my lips. He growls, nipping my neck and I grab his face pulling it away as his stubble scratches my skin.
âYou need to shaveâ I tell him, and he rubs my cheek with his.
âSilas, its scratchyâ I tell him, and he chuckles lifting me and forcing my legs around his waist as he walks toward the castle doors. Matitus and Dragus were hauling some giant rocks into the stables as we went past with Pluto.
âWhat are they doing?â I ask as Aldrin runs after them.
âAldrinâ I call but he just waves ducking inside the stables.
âLet me down I want to see what they are up toâ
âNot a chance you have a bet to pay upâ He says continuing to walk toward the castle.
Dragus and Matitus come out noticing us as we walk past.
âWhatâs the bet and can we watchâ Dragus says walking over and slapping my ass, a devious smile on his lips.
âYou can always join usâ Silas says as he opens the doors.
âSo I take it you lost?â Matitus asks me before he chuckles.
âIs it really losing though if it involves you three?â I ask in return and his lips tug at the corners.
âShe bet I wouldnât beat her home and she wanted me to help her with the backyard at the orphanageâ
Silas tells him.
âLike we would let you clean that jungle by yourselfâ Silas says.
âWhat youâre still going to help?â I ask.
âYes, I wonât be letting my pregnant mate, haul all that crap outâ Silas answers as he walks up the stairs toward our room.
âSo, what were you two doing with Aldrin and Pluto?â
âNothing just cleaning upâ Dragus answers and I could tell he was lying, my eyes narrowing at him.
âItâs a surprise just stay out of the stables pleaseâ Matitus tells me.
âPromise you wont go in thereâ Silas says pulling back and looking at me.
I roll my eyes at him.
âFine I promiseâ I tell him kissing him, his tongue running along my bottom lip before he sucks it into his mouth. He sits me on the sink basin and Matitus turns the shower on behind him.
Silas reaches under the counter grabbing some shaving soap and cutthroat razor. I jump off the basin stripping the rest of my clothes off and hopping in with Matitus. I watch Silas shave before Dragus takes the razor from him and Silas sits on the counter facing us. Dragus moves between his legs before kissing him, grabbing his face, and turning it, shaving his face for him.
So sweet watching them with each other thought, I would have been petrified of cutting him if I tried to do that. Matitus chest presses against my back his hands going to my hips.
âYou like watching us donât youâ He states, before sucking on the skin below my ear, one hand moving to my breast as he plucks my nipple rolling it between his fingers, the other rubbing my little bump. I look up at him and he kisses my lips, his tongue moving between my lips as it brushes mine and I breathe into his mouth, arousal flooding me.
