Blue Skies on Fire by Zenina Masters Read Free Book Online

smiled and continued to work on her feet.
    She cleared her throat. “How did your parents meet?”
    His smile turned into a grin. “My father was raiding the ice fey, and they decided to sacrifice one of their own to him. So, they took my mother out, staked her down while she cussed them out and left her on the ice shelf where the dragon had been sighted. He flew up to her, broke her chains and carried her away, warming her as best he could while he flew to his home.”
    “He took her straight to his lair?” Teebie raised her brows and twisted as he found a sensitive spot under the curve of her toes that seemed to be connected to her sex.
    “He did. Meridith told him that she was the offering of the ice fey and that if he stopped raiding them, she would remain with him, and he did.”
    Teebie blinked. “Well, I suppose that it was a fair bargain. What do they do now?”
    “Diamond mines in the frozen north. It is surprisingly lucrative, and Kyrok has a knack for finding deposits.”
    “So, his lair is lined with diamonds?” She let out a low moan as he gave the arch of her foot a long stroke.
    “It is. We supply a select number of jewellers, and they are the only folk I need to visit back in the human world. I would only have to head back there for a few days at a time and only then when my father is in his dragon form.”
    “How often does that happen?”
    “Every ten to fifty years. It is never a big deal. Everyone just assumes that I am fey. Mother takes care of the day-to-day running of the business, but she doesn’t like to leave Father.”
    Her feet were throbbing and so was her sex. She had heard about the connection between a good foot rub and arousal, but this was her first experience of it.
    She was aroused and sleepy, but she still asked him, “Have you gone looking for your birth parents?”
    He gave her a long look. “I did. There was nothing left of the village. I stopped looking at that point.”
    Teebie leaned her head against the back of the couch. “That is sad.”
    She let out a jaw-cracking yawn.
    He smiled. “I think it is time to get you to bed. Come on.”
    He scooped her up and carried her up the stairs, down the hall and into his room. He settled her on her feet and frowned. “Do you sleep in anything?”
    She shook her head slowly. “Not usually.”
    “Good.”
    He unfastened her dress, and it slithered to the floor. He let out a low groan and pressed his forehead to hers. “Do you always wear scarlet lingerie?”
    “Usually. It is hard to find things that complement my skin tone. Scarlet seems to be a winner.”
    He cleared his throat and murmured. “Oh, yes.”
    Her bra was unfastened, and it sprang loose. He eased it off her shoulders and down her arms. When his fingers returned to her waist, they were shaking. He hooked them into the edge of her red panties and eased the fabric downward.
    When she was naked, she waved the bedding back and stepped out of his shadow and slid between the sheets. Andor was looking at her like there were a thousand thoughts in his head and none of them involved her cuddling up in bed without him with her.
    “This is not how I planned this evening.”
    She snuggled down into the bedding and smiled. “I was going to bake a pie today, so this is much better.”
    He opened and closed his mouth, stomping over to the other side of the bed before he stripped and crawled between the sheets.
    Teebie turned toward him. “Andor?”
    “Yes, Teebie?”
    “You were right. There is plenty of room in this bed, and we don’t even touch. Good night.”
    The noise she heard wasn’t something human, but she grinned and waved the lights off, plunging them into darkness.

    Teebie lay awake long before dawn, and she focused on prepping those apples for the pie.
    A deep whisper crossed the ocean of bedding. “What are you doing?”
    She turned her head and blinked at the fiery-red gaze that was looking at her. “I am peeling and
