The Cambion's Hoard
Chapter 33-Henson

Sly kept bringing back different pieces of clothing for Rose to try on. She seemed to be more excited than Rose. Then again, from what Sly had said, Rose wasn't used to being doted on. Guys she dated in the past only wanted her for one thing, sex. They didn't like to be seen in public with her or really seemed to care.

If Rose didn't have a healthy relationship with anyone before, we'd have to tread carefully. They used her, and she could feel like we were using her again, regardless of being her mate and lover. I did want to be more than a simple lover to her. I did want to be her mate too.

Others that took mates didn't care what that mate looked like. They just wanted a mate that was happy and healthy. While my lineage didn't typically take mates, we could become mates. My mother and father were unique in that regard. My mom loved my dad, a tiny fae man, and an ogress. They became mates by choice, much like a human's soul mate, only they went to a psychic to ensure they were meant to be.

"Okay, Sly, that's enough for now. You can dress me at the next store. Only if Hen isn't bored." Hangers tapped against the dressing room wall.

"I have no problem with you parading around potential purchases. We have all day. Then again probably don't want to leave Biggs alone too long. He sounded like he was about to slip back into a down mood."

Sly flopped down beside me on the couch. "He sounds moody as fuck."

I chuckled. "He is, always has been. Thatcher has been the even keel of the two. Biggs is explosive like you'd think a dragon would be. But, of course, it has a lot to do with their upbringing. Their mom is toxic, and their dad is not in the picture. Biggs is better than he used to be, though. Maybe he'll even grow more since Rose is here."

The lock slid, and the door opened. Rose stepped out, and my breath caught. The maroon fabric clung to Rose's flesh. This was different than her uniforms. Those were part of her job; she made them feel like they were just that. This outfit was different; it was like a candy wrapper.

"Oh, Rose, you look amazing! That style suits you so well." Sly got up and circled around Rose. "It makes your butt look great too."

Rose looked at me expectantly. I couldn't replace the words. Choking on my words, I gestured awkwardly at her as a whole. She looked a little disappointed.

Sly put her arms around her shoulders. "Honey, that man is choking on his one tongue right now. He's so aroused he doesn't remember how to talk. So, don't fret. It's a massive hit."

I grabbed Rose's purse and pulled out the bottle of water she'd stashed away earlier. Downing, it helped me clear my head.

"You need one in every color. I'm also taking the tag off, and you're wearing it home. Let's get a few picked out and move on to the next. Otherwise, we may get kicked out of the store for indecency." Rose blushed, and my dick strained against my pants. Fuck she was hot bold, and hot shy. I shooed her back into the dressing room.

"Oh ho, someone is super excited. I've never seen a guy get so flustered over her before. I like it." Sly stayed by the dressing room door.

"She does that to all of us. I had to fuck Biggs in the hallway the first time I saw her naked. Pretty sure Thatch fucked me the second day she lived with us because he was so overcome."

"He did not!" Rose's little squeal made me laugh.

"Oh yeah, while I was in the bathtub. I had never seen him like that before. You woke the dragons up, Rosie. It's been the best thing ever. I mean, it was fun before you showed up but now. I'm impressed I can sit comfortably."

Sly broke out in laughter and nearly fell when Rose came back out. Unfortunately, she was dressed, much to my disappointment. Her scowl was adorable, however.

"You men are ridiculous."

I stood up and grabbed the lingerie from her. "This everything you want?"

She shook her head. "I was going to get the maroon and navy one."

I looked in the dressing room. She still had the maroon one on, and it made me grin. "Sly, get the peach, green and black one out of there. I have the navy and tagg for the maroon. Take her to the next store. I'll replace you guys."

Sly grabbed her friend and dragged her from the store. I set the items on the counter and handed the tag to the cashier.

"Sorry, I made her wear one out. Didn't think about showing you she had it on."

The cashier shrugged. "I could hear you guys back there. Did you really like her in it that much?"

I looked at the girl ringing me out. She was taller than Rose but just as juicy. Fuck, women built like ogres and orcs were my downfall. "Absolutely. My mother is a sculptor, she never has, and I mean that, never sculpted a skinny woman. That affects a man's preferences.

"Find yourself an orc or even an ogre, and you will have the best relationship. First, they'll feed you, then fuck you, and sometimes the other way around. Not only that, they want their woman to be happy because they know they are so fucked and not the good kind if she's not." I handed her Biggs's credit card without even registering the price.

"I'll keep that in mind." She tucked everything neatly into a bag.

"You should, Others know true beauty, and women like you are gorgeous."

"Thank you."

I nodded. "I need to hurry before they get in trouble. Have a good day."

If they did get in trouble, I wanted to be part of it.
