Monster Dragon (The Feisty Dragons 3)

All three men turned to her.

"Yes?"

"Oh, um, uh..." Savannah looked nervously from one man to the next. "I meant..."

"Just spit it out," Brian said impatiently. He knew he needed to be gentler, but for fuck's sake, she was working with dragons. She had to get over her fear eventually.

Yes, Savannah might be a cat, but the three owners of the company were dragons. They were big, even in their human forms, and they could be intimidating. If Savannah couldn’t handle it, then they’d need to start considering the possibility of hiring someone else.

Only, Brian didn’t want to deal with training yet another person to work for them.

"Mr. Declan has a meeting," she whispered.

“Anything else?"

"And Mr. Christopher has a phone call."

“Ah,” Declan nodded. “Thanks for the reminder.” Without another word, he left the office, and Christopher followed close behind. Savannah had no interest in being around Brian alone, so she, too, left the office.

Relieved that his brothers were finally going to be off of his back, Brian took advantage of the opportunity to sneak out of the office before anyone could stop him. It was Friday, after all. He really did have the entire weekend to do fuck-all, so he was going to use that time to just chill.

He skipped the elevator and took the stairs all the way to the first floor. Once he was outside of the building, standing in the grass that surrounded their corporate building, he took a deep breath.

He was fine.

He was going to be fine.

Nothing was wrong with him. He was just feeling a little tense. Everyone felt tense from time to time, and it wasn't a big deal, right?

Only, it kind of felt like a big deal.

It kind of felt like Brian was always tense these days. No matter what he did, he could never shake the feeling that life was about to get him. He wasn’t sure when he started feeling anxious all of the time, but it wasn’t a feeling he appreciated or enjoyed.

So, instead of going to his home, Brian decided to do something a little bit different.

He decided to take a walk.

As a dragon shifter living on Sapphire Island, Brian could fly anywhere he liked. The Chrysolite Isles were a beautiful place where shifters could be themselves. There were hundreds of islands, and some of them had specific shifter communities on them. Dragon Isle, for example, was one of the biggest and most famous islands, but Brian enjoyed Sapphire Island.

While Dragon Isle was mostly jungles and forests, Sapphire Island had some huge cities on it, and Brian’s company was located in the heart of the biggest one. Now, as he walked, he looked up in the sky to see dozens of dragons all flying around. Everyone had somewhere to be, someplace to go.

They all had someone to fly to.

He didn’t, though.

Brian didn’t.

He wanted someone.

He’d never spent much time thinking about mates before his brothers each found theirs. Now, it was all he thought about. He wondered if there really was a mate for everyone. Even to Brian, it sounded like nothing more than a fairy tale. Even to him, the idea seemed insane.

One mate for every dragon?

Brian shook his head. He’d be lucky to get laid this year, much less find someone to bond with for all of eternity. That stuff was great for Declan and Christopher. Truly, it was, but Brian...

Well, he was kind of a loner.

As Brian looked around the city, eyeing the big, beautiful buildings, he suddenly felt like his chest was tightening. He needed to get away from it all, if only for a little while, but he had nowhere to go. He couldn’t exactly have a nice vacation, not with only the weekend to himself, so he went home.
