The Dragon King’s Baby

“Exactly as Helene assumed it would. Using her spy network, she had found out a long time ago that the witches and wizards were sick of Eckhart and his machinations. They wanted a new ruler, and with the execution of her husband and her continued imprisonment, Sybille won the support of her people. She will be officially crowned queen in two days.”

“That’s great,” Addie smiled. “We’ll have to go visit her when Kalea is a little older.”

“Of course we will,” Seathan said.

They’d been riding the elevator up as they’d been talking. Addie hadn’t been able to leave Kalea alone in her nursery since the witch’s appearance. Either she had slept in the nursery or brought Kalea into their room with her. Tonight, Vada met them when the elevator doors opened.

“Let me take her tonight, Addie. You need to spend time with your husband,” Vada said with a wink.

Addie smiled and relinquished her daughter to her grandmother. She kissed Kalea gently on the forehead. “Thank you, Vada.”

“Thanks, Mom,” Seathan said. He kissed his daughter and his mother. “Good night.”

“I’ll stay with her the whole night, Addie, I promise,” Vada said when Addie opened her mouth to speak. She walked into the elevator and left.

Seathan took Addie into her arms and kissed her on the lips. The kiss deepened quickly until their hearts were beating uncontrollably and their breaths were near pants.

The end.
