Hear No Evil
Chapter One
“I could get used to this,” I murmured as I languished in Arach's arms.
Arach had returned to the God Realm with me and our twin sons after Brevyn, one of those sons, had shown us a vision of the future. In that future, Asgard had been burned to the ground by a war among the Gods. This wasn't the war that currently raged over humans and their sacrifice, this was a war over magic. A goddess had shown the Gods how to take magic from each other and the knowledge had turned gods into mercenaries and torn apart the realm. I was 99.9% certain that the goddess behind it all was Disani.
Disani was part of a trio of gods who I'd once fought in a false future. After I fixed the future, I had contemplated killing Disani and her cohorts; Gish and Qaus. But at my wedding, a drunken prophet named Silenus had warned me against it. Ironically, it was yet another prophecy that sent those three gods after me in this timeline; a prophecy that foretold their deaths in that averted future. I know; it's a lot to wrap your head around. Basically, they had gone after me to stop me from killing them when I'd already decided to not kill them.
But Silenus' prophecy did me right. I had been trapped in a mirror-protected territory by Narcissus, and Qaus, with his rainbow magic, had been the only god who could rescue me. Not only did he rescue me, but he also killed Narcissus before he could rape me. Qaus said it made us even, not friends. So, I was left wondering if he was still working with Disani. I hoped not. I hated it when I had to kill someone who had done me a good turn; even if that good turn had been to make up for a bad one.
Anyway, the prophecy foretold a war, and I had promised Arach that he could join any war that happened in the God Realm. So, Arach and our sons had returned to Pride Palace with me to live with us until either the war was averted or won. I'd kind of been keeping my dragon in the dark about a lot of things, and I didn't blame him for wanting to be a part of this. The rest of my men agreed to it and so we put him and our sons in a suite just below my master suite on the top floor of Pride Palace.
Currently, our boys were out playing with their sister, Lesya, and Zariel. That left Daddy alone with Mommy. And Mommy had made good use of the opportunity.
“Get used to what?” Arach asked with a soft look my way.
I was lying across his chest, face angled up to look into his bright yellow dragon eyes. The crimson scales outlining his face were fading back into his skin now that our passions had been satisfied, and only a few of them remained on his temples. His blood-red hair draped across his pillow in wide swaths, and I pushed a lock of it away from the sharp angles of his face before I lifted mine to kiss his firm lips.
“Get used to having you here,” I finally answered. “With nothing for you to do but relax and occasionally make love to your wife.”
“Occasionally?” He lifted a cinnabar brow. “It had better be more than occasionally after I left our kingdom to be here and protect you.”
“Help me, not just protect me,” I corrected him.
“Protect you,” he said more firmly as his hand lowered to my rounded belly, “and another man's child. I should get extra sex for that.”
“Trevor allowed you to become a father before him,” I reminded Arach. “Even though he's my alpha.”
Arach made a face; he hated being reminded that my alpha lover wasn't him.
“When shall it be my turn again?” Arach asked. “We still need to have Samara.”
“After the others have had their children,” I said patiently.
Sometimes it felt as if they were all children; my husbands and my offspring alike. And yet, my husbands kept hounding me to have more.
“As you like.” Arach sighed.
“But we can still practice.” My hand trailed down between his legs and then my mouth followed.
“Now, this, I like,” Arach rumbled. “Very much.”
Arach's fingers slid through my hair and pushed it back so he could watch me. I smiled around his flesh and then drew it out to lazily lick the tip. Arach didn't rush me or express any impatience at all. In fact, he crossed an arm behind his head and laid back to enjoy the show. I loved that, and I intended to take my time giving him one of the best shows he'd ever had. But then a strident knocking came on the bedroom door, and he groaned.
We were in the master bedroom inside the suite so whoever was knocking had to have come through the main door. That meant it was someone who felt comfortable in confronting my dragon husband. Which meant it had to be either one of our sons or one of my husbands.
“Mommy, can Brevyn and Rian go camping with Uncle Fallon, Aunty Sam, and me?”
Okay, so there was one other possibility; my daughter.
I looked up at Arach and lifted a brow.
He nodded urgently. “Give her whatever you have to, to make her go away.”
I chuckled before I called back, “Yes; have fun, honey.”
“Thank you, Mommy!” The sound of her little feet pounded away.
“You know the Boys put her up to that,” I said to Arach. “You're less inclined to deny her than them. They haven't even been here twenty-four hours and they've already learned that.”
“She's just so...” Arach shook his head. “She has these
