The Dragon Warrior (Lochguard Highland Dragons 4) - Page 15

Her dragon yawned. He’s probably trying to rile you up. Ignore him. Cat is having trouble, too.

Looking to the side, Cat’s red dragon form would miss a beat every few seconds. Her irritation at Grant only increased. She’s not a Protector. Grant should know this.

Faye gave a low roar and garnered Cat’s attention. She slowed down her pace and Cat nodded before doing the same. The pair of them mostly glided the last few miles to the city. By the time they reached the empty car park next to Inverness Castle and maneuvered their way down, Grant was already in human form, fully dressed and waiting.

Her beast grunted. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of him naked.

I thought you’d sworn off him?

It doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy his abs or fine arse.

Leave it to her beast to make something as natural as shifting into something about sex.

Thankfully the area was fenced off and private. Faye never cared much about nudity, but humans tended to make a big deal out of it. Despite having two humans as sisters-in-law, it was still hard to trust them as a unit.

She and Cat each placed the bags clutched in their forearms, the ones holding their clothes, to the side and gently touched their hind legs to the ground. Faye imagined her form shrinking into a human. A few seconds later, she stood beside Cat as they rummaged through their packs for clothes.

She tried not to think about how Grant could be staring at her arse.

Her beast spoke up. Forget him. He can look, but he will never have.

Her dragon really had convinced herself she could resist Grant.

Rather than argue, Faye dressed quickly. Cat did the same. Within a few minutes, they had their packs in hand and walked up to Grant. Faye spoke first. “A DDA representative is supposed to meet us here at any minute and take us to our accommodations. Once that’s done, I want to take Cat out along the river for a meal.”

He raised his brows. “So you want me to scout the area first?”

“Why do you sound so surprised? It’s usual practice for a security detail team to split up the work.”

“Aye, but given your temper earlier, I wasn’t sure what to expect,” he drawled.

She frowned. “I’m not going to dignify that with an argument. Just do your job, McFarland.”

He took her arm and pulled her to the side. “Speaking of that, I was thinking about the drones Stonefire had trouble with not that long ago.” He handed her a vial and needle kit. “Just in case, here’s one of the antidote packs. The formula may have changed by now, but it’s better than nothing. The second either you or Cat is attacked, I want to know.”

She raised an eyebrow. “I’m aware of protocol, Grant. If you’re trying to cover your arse, there’s no need.”

He growled and hissed out, “Neither one of us are mind readers, Faye. I just want to be clear since I’m going to leave most of Cat’s security to you.”

“Truly?”

“Yes, truly. Don’t sound so surprised.”

Her dragon spoke up. Let’s not waste time arguing with him. I’m hungry. Let’s hurry up and find somewhere to eat along the river. I’m sure some of the restaurants allow dragon-shifters. If not, I think casually showing a talon or two will convince them to change their minds.

Faye snorted. When Grant raised his brows, she cued him in. “My dragon is hungry. Is there anything else?’

He grunted. “Just keep your mobile on.” He paused, and she also heard the footsteps. Grant added, “I’ll do the talking. We don’t need to upset the DDA.”

Rather than respond, Faye stuck out her tongue. She could k

eep her temper in check when it came to strangers. Grant was just trying to provoke her.

Her beast chimed in again. Maybe the DDA human will be attractive. Now that the Stonefire dragonwoman has mated a human male, it’s not so dangerous. We can widen our potential partner pool.

No sex with the DDA person. If it’s a him, you might break the male.

Her dragon huffed. If he’s weak, I wouldn’t waste energy trying to nab him.
