Chapter Fourteen

The next day, Nikki stood to the side and watched over her charges inside the great hall—a group of children aged twelve-to-seventeen months.

Considering Nikki usually had a much more active role when it came to clan celebrations, she wondered why Aaron had assigned her this task. Nikki could handle children if she had to, but she wasn’t quite a natural.

However, she wasn’t alone. Rafe was her partner for the duty and stood a few feet away watching the enclosed pen keeping the toddlers out of trouble. After he met her eyes and smiled, she returned the expression. Putting the mindless duty of watching babies aside, Nikki was far more content than she had been in a long time. Waking up in Rafe’s arms had been nice. That niceness had only been intensified when she’d surprised him by devouring his cock while he tried to cook her breakfast.

He wasn’t the only one who could make someone yell their name by using only hands and a mouth.

Noises from the enclosure caught her attention and Nikki looked back to focus on her task. Memories of Rafe tugging her hair as he came would have to wait for later. If one of the little devils escaped and found trouble, Nikki would never hear the end of it.

All four toddlers were accounted for. Jack and Annabel MacLeod, the children of Melanie and Tristan, were fraternal twins and the celebrated guests. Both were gripping the sides of the pen keeping them from running wild and slowly toddled their way around the perimeter. Behind them sat little Murray, Bram and Evie’s adopted son, who was about five months older. Murray played toy dragons with Ella’s son, Devon, who was about three months younger than him.

For the most part, the toys and the challenge of walking around the edge of the pen without falling over were keeping the toddlers entertained. All the adults were drinking, eating, and chatting at the other side of the great hall. The celebration seemed more for their benefit than Jack and Annabel’s.

Speaking of the devil, Jack pushed his sister. She gripped the fence tighter and shoved back. Jack fell on his bum, but rather than cry, he pulled himself back up. Judging from the glint in his eye, he was up to something.

Jack was most definitely Tristan and Melanie’s son. The stubbornness between that pair could move mountains.

Sighing, she whispered to Rafe at her side, “I still say Aaron did this on purpose.”

Rafe took a step closer toward her. “It’s my understanding that dragon-shifters treasure children, so this should be an honorable post.”

Nikki eyed Annabel shaking the gate enclosing the kids. “It sort of is, but we easily could have protected them from the outside.”

Lightly caressing her hand with his forefinger, Rafe whispered, “Not every assignment or duty will be glamorous, Nikki. But it doesn’t mean it’s any less important.”

“I know,” she muttered as she leaned against Rafe for a second.

Jack now had a toy dragon in one of his hands. Just
