"You enjoyed the... spanking and we both know... it," Noctis growled out or at least tried to. It came out less like a growl and more soft and unthreatening because his core was still cold. But at least he was clean. And he was projecting his issues onto Kostya. He had been the one that enjoyed the spanking, that had gotten hard, and had been humiliated by it.
He let Kostya pick him up out of the tub, dry him off, and get him out into the bedroom. The cool air started to make Noctis shiver as the weretiger went to fetch them clothes. "I'm not..." Noctis protested but it was pretty clear that the alpha wasn't going to listen to him.
So Noctis ended up in Kostya's bed with the weretiger at his back. Though he didn't want to, Noctis did press himself back against Kostya because the tiger was radiating heat. "How did you... know about the cold? You said you never... delt with a dragon before?"
