Kyan's Housewarming Party Page 4

  “I’ll just ask my mom to make more.” She sighed at the last crumbs. “The pregnant lady with cravings is allowed to make unreasonable demands on behalf of her unborn first grandchild.”

  “My mother would also.”

  “Does she know the recipe?”

  Since his mother was a dominant dragon aristocrat on their distant home estate in the Outer Rim of Draconis — who had never prepared food in her life, much less human dishes — he doubted it. “She is very resourceful.”

  “It’s fine.” Laura eyed the empty liquor bottles with dismay, then rubbed her eyes.

  “I will clean this mess.”

  “Hmm? Oh, thank you.” Gratitude swept over her. Then the unusual seriousness returned. “When were you going to move the front door?”

  Ah. She had seen through him.

  “After you fell asleep,” he confessed.

  That was when he was going to move the entrance. He had sealed the old entrance early. All that remained was selecting a new, hidden, secure front door location.

  Her brows rose in surprise. “Tonight?”

  He nodded.

  Her lips twitched. She rolled up her pajama sleeves and made fists. Preparing for the fight.

  He braced.

  “Did you want my help?”

  Help?

  “Moving the front door,” she explained. “You don’t have to wait for me to fall asleep. Now is fine.”

  “You want me to move the entrance?”

  “The sooner the better. I’m sure you can come up with a nice, friendly, secure way for me to share my house with our new neighbors.” She grimaced at her depleted cheese rolls. “I’m extremely against sharing with bugs.”

  We’re like Aldebaran roaches, honey.

  She trusted in Kyan’s ability to keep her safe and happy — his way.

  A painful swelling sensation stretched the walls of his heart.

  “I will complete the move immediately,” he said.

  “I knew I could count on you.”

  Maybe he didn’t have to be happy all the time.

  But with Laura, every day was filled to the brim with sweet adventure, toe-curling kisses, and — yes — her promised happiness.
