“Or a present with that bow.”
“A present?” I mused and then tilted my head, deciding I liked cupcakes better. Although with how the two of them were looking at me, I would take either.
“You can eat a cupcake though.” Atlas flashed a smile over his shoulder.
“As always, a good point.” Sai’s chest produced a rumble as shivers broke out on my skin, and I took a step towards him. Atlas let out a small laugh, and I narrowed my eyes at him with a small scowl as he caught me around the waist. Why was everyone always trying to stop me from going to my mates? We were going to have to have a serious talk about this. Or maybe it was just that we had important stuff to do and I was doing everything and anything to avoid that.
“Come on, angel, the three of us are going to head over to the medical wing,” he said and kissed my temple. “We can have fun later.”
Well, that was a better idea at least.
“Or now,” Sai shared my thoughts clearly as his eyes ran over me again before turning towards the door.
“Where are the others?” I questioned.
“They will probably meet us there. There was some stuff they had to prepare for tonight. Croy should be—”
“Coming with.” Croy appeared, his outfit adjusted as well. He looked over me, a small growl leaving his throat before he muttered a curse and shook himself.
I couldn’t help but smile because I was starting to realize that no matter what I wore, it made my mates all growly. A concept that happily distracted me from my upcoming appointment.

The woman was absolutely aware of how much she was teasing us. I firmly believed that now. Now I was just left to wonder how much shit I would get from Marco for pinning our little mate up against one of these walls and ripping off that damn cupcake dress so that I had access to every inch of her golden skin. She had managed with one garment to make herself look legitimately edible, and I had to physically restrain myself from touching her, knowing that if I started I probably wouldn’t stop and then we really would never make it to the physician’s office.
Honestly, my need for her was slowly growing into an obsession and overriding some important matters, something that concerned me way more than I expressed. Not that there was anything legitimately more important than Maya, but I would say her health was pretty damn important, and considering I was worried about making it to the doctor in the first place, it left me feeling both like crap and still equally as turned on.
I was very slightly appeased because my mark was on her, but was it enough to completely settle me? Absolutely not.
In fact, I was finding that my angel was a legitimate trigger for the loss of any sense of self-control. Even now, on the way to see a doctor that would have important information regarding her health, I wanted to pull her into one of the many hallways we passed and claim her completely. First making her come with my mouth, tasting her sweet wet heat before burying my cock between her thighs, bouncing her up and down as her moans echoed loud enough that everyone in the Dreki realm was goddamn aware of who was fucking her so hard.
We needed to handle this medical shit first.
It was like a mantra I repeated in my head, and I forced myself to look away from where she practically floated next to me, her soft humming causing my dragon to start to act up in response. I was finding that both of us were very reactive to any noises she made, but mainly humming or that panicked, high-pitched sound that sometimes left her throat during a nightmare.
I had figured out that the reaction was in part because it was her phoenix’s magic interacting with those around her, but that knowledge didn’t lessen the effect in the slightest. Rather, I found myself extra protective and watchful over her responses to things like that because I knew it was a side to Maya that was still being fully let out. The woman was glorious, but I knew that she would be even more so when she was able to fully embrace the side of her that had been so long repressed.
The side that was in large part responsible for why Croy had insisted that we leave so
