I glanced around the house, wondering who Ambrosius was. More importantly, where was he?
“Master Ambrosius, Emmerich.” Reinhold gave me a pointed look. Realization dawned.
“Master…as in the vampire you’ve been living with because you’re guarding his beloved?”
“That’s his second. Well, Giovanni is Lucius’s beloved. Lucius is Master Ambrosius’s second.”
My eyes widened just before I heard a noise behind me. I turned slowly, looking over my shoulder at the gorgeous man who was walking into the room with another alpha. My dragon didn’t care for that even a little. The tall, slender man with dark hair, eyes, and the perfect amount of scruff was ours.
I turned completely and started toward the pair, growling as I got closer to them. I wasn’t sure what the other alpha was, and that irritated my dragon. I’d not ever scented his kind before. When he tried to put himself between me and my mate, I growled and reached for him. My hand closed around his throat, but I stopped when a heavily accented voice spoke.
“It’s okay. He’s Atticus. My bodyguard.”
I let go of Atticus and focused on my mate.
“I’m Ambrosius. You are?”
“Yours,” I said, reaching for his hand. When he held it out, I brought it to my mouth and kissed his knuckles. But I didn’t stop there. I turned it over, running my finger gently across his palm. They were soft and smooth, sending my mind spinning about how they’d feel on my body.
“Leave us,” Ambrosius told them, then grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him. I glanced over my shoulder, ready to tell my brother to get lost, but he was already gone. I let Ambrosius lead me out of the large room with very little furniture and down a hallway. We entered a room that looked as if it didn’t belong in Montana. No, I had just been transported to a villa in Italy. Directly in front of the window was a large desk, and on either side of the room were uncomfortable-looking couches.
Ambrosius walked to the desk and hopped up onto it before he sat there staring at me. I would have thought he was completely at ease if not for the fact that my dragon was pushing at me to soothe our mate. He was agitated for some reason.
“I am Emmerich, and my dragon says you’re our mate. But I sense you’re not exactly happy about that.”
Ambrosius took several deep breaths before he finally spoke again.
“Do you not wish to know why it is that the created vampire is just now meeting his beloved?”
Did I? I probably should, but my dragon was thinking only one thing, and that was to claim our mate.
“I do find it odd. Especially since you are the created vampire. Are you saying you do not agree to our pairing?”
“I would be a fool to lose a second beloved. Tell me, are you okay with being bitten?”
My eyebrows hit my hairline, I was sure. Second beloved? Bitten? Did he not hear the word “dragon”?
“I’m a dragon. I bite. You do realize that?” I crossed my arms in front of me while narrowing my eyes. “What do you mean second beloved? I’m not sharing. My dragon won’t allow it. Not that I would either.”
“No, he’s dead. It’s a rather tragic story, really.”
I let my arms fall as I walked over to the couch to my left. When I sat down, I discovered that it was just as uncomfortable as I’d thought. “I have time. I’m not going anywhere until we at least discuss some things. Even then, don’t think my dragon is going to simply accept whatever it is you want and go along.”
Ambrosius got up from the desk and crossed the room. When he sat on the other end of the couch, he repositioned himself several times before he sighed.
“You need different furniture. This is not only ugly, but uncomfortable. I’m sure it would break the first time I fucked you on it too.”
Ambrosius started coughing, causing me to reach for him. I wasn’t sure what was triggering his coughing, but when he looked at me in shock, I realized I’d surprised him.
“Nobody ever want to fuck you? Really? I find that difficult to believe.”
“You realize who I am, no?”
“Of course. You’re my mate. I plan on keeping you well satisfied.” I brought his hand to my mouth again, only this time I kissed the inside of his wrist. My dragon rumbled inside at the scent of our mate.
“I’m the created vampire. People do not talk about fucking me. Furthermore, I’m the one who does the fucking.”
Since my canines had dropped, I raised my eyes to meet Ambrosius’s and grinned, showing him my teeth as I oh so carefully ran one across his wrist. He gasped, pulling a smile from me before I gently sucked on his wrist, then let it go.
“As my mate, I would certainly let you fuck me. But I’m an alpha, Ambrosius. That’s how things work. That’s how little Ambrosiuses are made. And there will be little ones. That’s how mating works. Unless you take something to prevent it.”
Ambrosius swallowed deeply. “I’m not against a child. But the thought does terrify me.” I sat up, keeping Ambrosius’s hand in mine.
“What does? Having children? Or being mated to a dragon?”
“That I am sure will be a pleasure. No, the whole carrying children and then giving birth. Edison promised to make it painless for me, and I’m going to hold him to that.”
I wasn’t sure I was following, but I was willing to wait until Ambrosius was completely on board with mating and all that entailed before claiming him. I’d waited this long; I could be patient for him.
