Tabit looked so beautiful and sexy in her oversized clothes that Fafnir wanted to cup her face and kiss her senseless, but the call of the king awaited him. "Co," he murmured.
When he opened his room's door and she followed him, Orin watched the two of them with wide eyes, stunned like he had seen a ghost. And the girl was so beautiful that he couldn't even avert his gaze. Fafnir growled at him ferociously, dangerously, possessively.
Orin was now all the more astonished. Fafnir had never behaved so possessively towards a female. "The— the king awaits you," he stuttered trying to understand what was going on. If the girl was a one night stand, then why was the General behaving like this. And in all his life he had never seen Fafnir so possessive.
Fafnir clenched his jaws. He walked down the corridor with Tabit on his side as Orin followed them. They reached the king's room. While Orin stayed back, Tabit and Fafnir entered in.
"Tabit!" Tania rasped. "Where the hell were you? I was so worried!" She got up suddenly and ca to Tabit to hug her. "You should have told about your whereabouts. Do you know how anxious I was?"
"She was with , Your Highness," Fafnir said instantly. "For the night."
"What?" Tania shouted.
"What the hell?" Eltanin grunted.
"I an we didn't have anything!" Fafnir added quickly, rather nervously and hoped that they didn't have anything when he was inebriated. "We just slept together." That ca out so wrong that Fafnir hoped the earth cracked and swallowed him whole. "We— we—"
Eltanin's face was red with anger. "Explain yourself Fafnir!" he growled.
"Relax," Tabit said as she grinned. "Nothing happened. I just saw Fafnir and went with him to his room. We had to discuss a lot of things, you see."
"But we didn't discuss anything," Fafnir remarked, rather guiltily.
Tabit pursed her lips. Why was her mate so thick in head when it ca to won. She turned to look at him and said, "Then what did we do? Can you explain them?"
Fafnir flushed till his neck. How could he tell them that he ca right in front of her when she touched his erection? His shoulders drew back in tension.
Tabit narrowed her eyes. "Since you don't know, why don't you stay quiet?"
Tania was so anxious all the ti but after seeing these two, she couldn't help but giggle. "Now I am curious to know what you both did."
Eltanin coughed, feeling awkward. The last thing he wanted to know was Fafnir's secret sex life. "We have to discuss important military strategies here and other things about the kingdom. If you girls want to go and have breakfast, carry on." Tania was feeling better after a night's rest and so Eltanin was relaxed. He had opened his mind link with Fafnir and he had appraised him of what happened last night.
"How long do we have before we start for Draka?" Tania asked.
"An hour or so," Eltanin replied.
Fafnir was not happy to see Tabit leave. He hated the fact that his mate was unmarked and out of his sight. He didn't like how Orin saw her. What if others too looked at her lasciviously? What if others tried to attract her towards them? Suddenly, he felt insecure. "Why don't we also have breakfast with them?" Fafnir suggested.
Eltanin raised his eyebrow at his General.
"They will feel lonely otherwise," Fafnir added, stupidly. His first instinct was to protect her, mark her and claim her. In that order. And until he did that, he couldn't relax. Moreover he wanted to know what all happened between them when he was inebriated. He was dying to know it.
"No, they won't feel lonely!" Eltanin grumbled.
Tabit made a blank face while Tania burst out laughing. "Rest assured General Fafnir, with Tabit won't be lonely, okay?"
Fafnir realized his stupid mistake and bowed to his queen lightly. Then looking at Tabit he said, "I will be with you in a short while." Why did he feel that Eltanin was the villain of his love story?
Eltanin knew that the two mates had t after a long ti. He was enjoying himself completely. However, he also had to talk about the royal affairs and had to ask about Nyxers. The war was looming large on them.
When the girl closed the door, Eltanin gave Fafnir a goblet of wine and said, "What is the situation about Nyxers?"
Fafnir sipped a little and said, "I have heard that they attacked a small village at the foothills of Crimson Mountains. But the reports are not confird."
"Anywhere else?"
"Not that I know of, but our spies are everywhere."
They talked for about an hour. Eltanin asked Fafnir to send letters to every kingdom to brace up for the war and ready their soldiers. When they reached downstairs to the dining hall, they saw that Tabit and Tania were rrily chatting away while eating. They both loved it when their mates ate. They joined the girls. Soon after they were all on their way to Draka. Only this ti, Tabit was sitting in front of Fafnir. And the sole reason was that Fafnir said that she needed to relax after a long journey from Orion and not hold the reins of a horse.
Tabit was just too happy to sit with him. She didn't even show reluctance or hesitation when he offered her to sit with him. Instead she added, "Yes, after two days of riding, I am very tired."
"But you did sleep for the night," Eltanin remarked. "And if you are so tired, why don't you co and sit in the carriage?" Yes, he was going to enjoy every part of it. Wickedly.
"She can't sit in the carriage!" Fafnir countered quickly. "Because Queen Tania is pregnant and she would want more space to sprawl. Tabit would be better off riding with ."
"That's right!" Tabit breathed. "Tania is getting fatter and needs more space." And before Eltanin could say another word, Fafnir dragged his mate to his horse.
