Is that what he’s complaining about?” Paul muttered with a frown. “I thought he was just making it up because you guys were grumbling.”
“ Daddy!” Trisha laughed. “Not you too?”
Paul had the good grace to look embarrassed. “It’s not me. I’ve done this a hundred times. It is the smell of the eggs. It is driving my dragon nuts.”
“ Why aren’t we having the same problem then and why is Vox having issues? He’s not a dragon,” Carmen asked watching as Creon edged a little further away. “Creon, don’t you dare!”
Creon froze, his eyes darting to where Spring and Phoenix were pulling a couple of eggs out from under a bush. “I’m just keeping an eye on the girls,” he said defensively. “They looked like they needed some help.”
Carmen glanced at where the girls were babbling back and forth to each other then back at Creon with a raised eyebrow. He flushed and grinned at her. She couldn ’t resist walking over and wrapping her arms around him. Rising up onto her tiptoes, she brushed a kiss across his lips.
“ You are a terrible liar,” she murmured.
“ Only with you,” he replied, pulling her closer. “You can always distract me though.” A shiver raced through Carmen at his suggestive voice.
“ So, why are the guys and Vox having problems and we aren’t?” Ariel asked folding her arms and shooting a look at Mandra who was watching the kids like a hawk.
“ It’s a male thing,” Morian replied. “To them, it is like the chocolate you brought back from Earth. My dragon goes nuts over that. Except for the Maratts and Grombots, I’ve never had a reaction like that before. Their father was the same way with eggs that were boiled.”
“ So, how do you explain Vox?” Trisha asked looking at where Riley was holding on to the back of Vox’s shirt as he twisted and growled.
“ It’s the hunt,” Riley replied, tossing her thick curly blonde ponytail over her shoulder as she glanced at Trisha. “His cat loves the hunt.”
“ Haven’t you reached one hundred yet?” Vox impatiently growled to Abby.
“ One hundred,” Abby called out with a laugh.
“ What the... Vox, you are such a dweeb sometimes,” Riley called out as her mate shifted and she found herself gripping thick fur. “Oh!” She gasped as he pinned her underneath his massive body.
She fought back a giggle when he ran his rough tongue over her cheek before twisting and darting to where Roam was disappearing under a thick bush. She sat up and shook her head as she watched her overgrown mate bounce across the open grass. God, she loved that big cat.
“ Well, I don’t know about you ladies but I think a nice cold drink is in order,” Pearl called out as she settled into one of the many seats lining the area. “Now comes the entertainment.”
Riley glanced up at Ha’ven as he offered his hand to help her stand. She smiled her thanks before glancing around at all the women who were chatting and laughing. Her eyes moved back to the bush where her mate’s well-rounded ass was up in the air.
“ It’s different but good, the way things are here,” Emma said quietly, rocking her tiny daughter in her arms.
Riley glanced at the quiet female that Vox had told her so much about. She knew that Emma had been through a lot and was amazed that the delicate human could bring someone as dark as Ha’ven Ha’darra to his knees with a smile. She grinned when Ha’ven slipped his arm protectively around Emma and pulled her and their daughter closer to him.
“ So, how did you miss the desire to join the hunt?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ha ’ven chuckled. “Who says I missed out?” He replied with a twinkle in his eyes.
Riley ’s eyes widened when he held his hand up and a glittering pink egg sat in the palm of it. All of them gasped when a moment later it disappeared. Riley’s mouth dropped open when it reappeared between Alice’s tiny hands.
“ Ha’ven!” Emma breathed out in awe, staring in
