A Dragonlings' Easter (Dragon Lords of Valdier 6.5) Read Free

she wiped fruitlessly at Zohar who was now a multi-colored little boy. “You, young man, are going to be as colorful as the eggs for a few days.”
    Zohar squealed with delight and clapped his hands. Laughter filled the kitchen area drawing smiles from everyone, including the kitchen staff that stood to the side. The women looked between each other with delight. It would be interesting to see how the kids did on their first Easter egg hunt the next morning.
     

     
    Chapter 3
    “ Is everything ready?” Trisha asked Morian who was watching Cara and Pearl round up the kids who were scattered about the smaller garden area wrestling with each other or chasing a dozen small golden rabbits.
    “ Yes, we are just waiting for Ha’ven and Emma,” Morian responded. “Ha’ven wanted Emma and Alice both to rest for a bit after their journey.”
    “ I’m so glad they could make it even if Alice is too young to join in. Are the symbiots ready?” Trisha asked before turning to watch Cara as she came bounding up to them.
    “ Are you kidding? We have like a hundred golden rabbits out there hiding eggs! This is the most awesome Easter ever!! It is even better than the time I made that automatic egg launcher. I could shoot fifty eggs a minute through the thing,” Cara said with a sigh. “The problem was it didn’t shoot very straight and the buttheads in Alpha Sigma Jerk-offs stole it before the competition.”
    “ You didn’t tell us about that,” Trisha said as she handed a basket of eggs to Bio, Kelan’s symbiot that had adopted her as well. He was in the shape of a huge rabbit for the occasion. “What happened?”
    Cara shook her head in disgust and rolled her eyes. “They didn’t have a clue what they were doing and overfilled it. One got stuck and it exploded inside their sorority house. They had splattered eggs everywhere! The bad thing was they had the nerve to try to blame me for it.”
    “ What did you do?” Trelon asked as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. “I can return to Earth and take care of them if you wish.”
    Cara giggled and turned in his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed a hot kiss to his lips. A low moan escaped her as he deepened it. They both groaned when he lifted her up against him, forgetting for a moment where they were at. It took several long minutes before the sound of Trisha clearing her throat sunk in and Cara pulled back, dazed. She gazed into Trelon’s heated gold eyes and cupped his face between her hands.
    “ You are the most amazing man I have ever known,” she whispered with a tender smile.
    “ Does this mean you want me to go to Earth?” Trelon asked in a husky voice.
    Cara grinned and shook her head. “No, but thank you for asking. I got even with them. I knew the cheeky bastards were eyeing it so I filled their basket with rotten eggs. The place probably still stinks to high heaven.”

     
    Chapter 4
    “Why can’t I look for eggs as well?” Vox demanded an hour later as everyone moved out into the center gardens. He folded his arms and scowled stubbornly down at Riley. “I have been good. I brought your sister and Pearl to you.”
    “ Your brother kidnapped them,” Riley pointed out dryly. “And Easter egg hunting is for kids.”
    “ Semantics,” Vox replied stubbornly with a wave of his hand. “Your family is happy and they are here. That is all that matters. Now, I will hunt the colorful eggs with the younglings.”
    Riley watched in disbelief as he turned and walked away. She growled low under her breath at his retreating back. She started to take a step forward but Pearl touched her arm, drawing her attention away for a moment. She shot a frustrated glare at her hard-headed mate who had joined the other men that were grouped in a tight circle.
    “ Let him and the others look for the eggs,” Pearl muttered to Riley. “They don’t stand a chance.”
    Riley ’s eyes narrowed on the satisfied smirk on her
