Fergus raised an eyebrow. “It might’ve been your idea, but I perfected it.”
When Finn growled, Arabella rolled her eyes. “Does the ‘who has the biggest cock’ contest ever end?”
Lorna spoke up. “No, lass, it doesn’t. You’re starting to see why I have so many gray hairs.”
Fergus looked toward his mother. “That’s not fair, Mum. It’s not as if Faye is the golden child of virtue.”
Faye turned and glared at Fergus. “Say that again, brother, I dare you.”
“Why, are you going to beat me with your tiny little handbag? I’m so scared,” Fergus taunted.
While Arabella was getting used to the MacKenzies, spending time with them was still a zoo. Maybe she should invite her brother to Lochguard just to see how deep his frown could go.
Before Arabella could think of a witty reply to add to the discussion, Finn’s voice boomed out, “Enough.” The dominance in his voice stilled everyone and he continued, “Tonight I am showcasing Ara to the clan. Inside the great hall, I’m clan leader and she’s my female. Given Duncan’s hatred, I don’t need any excuse for him to call me out on a challenge. What works in private won’t work inside the hall. Understood?”
As the twins and Faye murmured, “Yes,” Arabella had a feeling Finn had to remind them of his status on a regular basis.
“Good,” Finn answered. “Since we’re nearly to the hall, I want a few minutes alone with Ara. Go on without us.”
The twins looked about to say something when Lorna placed a hand on each of their elbows. “Come, lads. Leave Finn to care for his mate.”
It was on the tip of Arabella’s tongue to say she wasn’t his mate yet, but the MacKenzies were gone before she could.
Finn sighed. “Given my family, I’m surprised you haven’t bolted.”
Arabella smiled. “They’re fun. Besides, I have a feeling they’ll always help me out if I want to get back at you.”
“Oh, is that right? They are my kin, so they should side with me.”
Without thinking, she added, “We’ll see. There’s plenty of time to test out your claim.”
Finn turned to face her and drew her closer. “Is that so, heather?”
Slapping his chest, Arabella gave her best glare. “Don’t call me that.”
Leaning down, he whispered, “Then promise you won’t conspire with my family, and I promise not to use the nickname.”
“That isn’t fair.”
He nuzzled her cheek. “No, what’s not fair is the fact I can’t take you home, undress you, and tease you until you beg.”
Her dragon roared to be let out, but Arabella kept her trapped. “What, Finlay, is your cock controlling your brain now?”
The huskiness of his voice sent a shiver down her spine. “Aye, lass. And it very much wants you, and only you.”
Heat flooded her body and her dragon roared louder. Arabella’s breath was barely a whisper when she replied, “We can’t. We need to attend the gathering.”
Finn chuckled. “So, you admit you want to fuck me too?”
Her dragon finally broke free. I want to fuck him.
No, you promised you could last.
I don’t care. I want him and his cock. Tell him to behave or I will take control.
Besides sex, is there any way to help?
Her beast huffed. As long as he stops talking about sex and what he wants to do to us when we’re naked, I can control the urges a little while longer.
