Mated to Dragons novel

---- 58. ANGEL Ihated how used I got to sleeping with them in such a short period. I knew the moment I opened my eyes that I was alone in bed. Rolling onto my back, I sighed as I stared at the bed's canopy. Where are they? Did something happen? The thought that something bad might have happened during the night made me sit up and scoot over to the edge of the bed. Goosebumps broke out across my skin when I stood. Everything looked normal.

My steps faltered when my eyes locked on the bathroom door. It was slightly ajar, and the sound of the shower could be heard. I glanced around one last time and then slowly made my way towards the bathroom. Pressing a hand to the door, I pushed it open a few more inches as I slipped inside the bathroom. Someone stood in the shower , hands braced on the tilted wall and head hung low. I could see his body clearly through the glass shower door. Biting my lips, I undressed and went to the shower.

I hesitated a few seconds before I pushed the door ---- open and stepped into the shower. Nate tensed when I pressed a shaky hand to the small of his back, but he didn't pull away. My hand slipped higher as I stepped closer. I stared at his tanned skin as I explored his skin. He slowly straightened and turned around to look at me. My eyes darted over his face. "Are you okay?" "Just tired." Nate reached for me and pulled me against his body. "How are you feeling?" "Tm fine," I lied.

The last thing I wanted was for them to worry about me when they already had so many things to worry about. "Did anything happen?" I asked him before he could say more. "No, there are some people that returned to the gates to resume their protest, but things have calmed down." Inodded, hugging him. That had to be a good sign. Nate's hands slipped down my back and slowly up again, his fingertips brushed against my spine. His hand dipped again, fingers spraying over my ass and ---- then up again.

My heartbeat increased as he continued touching me. It was hard to ignore his hard length digging into my stomach. He was growing harder the longer he touched me. I tilted my head back to stare up at him. His lips twitched, but he remained silent. He gripped my hips and then suddenly lifted me. I automatically wrapped my legs and arms around him. Nate pressed his face to the crook of my neck when he turned around. I jerked when the water hit my back and then slowly relaxed.

It felt good, but it didn't stop the goosebumps from breaking out over my skin. Nate must have noticed it because he adjusted the temperature, making the water warmer. "Where are they?" I asked after a few minutes of silence. Lowering me to my feet, he tilted my head back and reached up to run his hands through my hair to wet it. "They have a meeting with the council." Istilled. There was no way I would forget the threats their ---- mother threw at them after Lucas announced our mating.

Going to the council was one of those threats. "Are they in trouble?" I asked him. "Did your mother _» "Tt's not about you," he interrupted me. "It's about what happened yesterday . I wrote a report for them but apparently , I didn't give them enough details ." "Are you sure it's not about me?" Nate frowned down at me. Instead of answering me, he reached for the shampoo and tugged me forward from under the water as he stepped back. "Nate, please talk to me," I pleased.

"I don't like being kept in the dark." "The less you know the better." I glared at him. "How do you expect me to be your queen if you don't plan on telling me anything?" His lips parted but he pursed them again a second later. Silence settled between us again as he washed my hair. When he reached for the soap, I grabbed it before he could and turned my back on him. Nate didn't touch me again and I was kind of disappointed. I wanted him to talk to me, to tell me what was happening.
