The door to my father’s chambers closes behind us, and we three brothers stride away as an angry trio. It’s strange. I don’t remember any time in my life where my brothers and I were on the same side. Even my vague memories of us as toddlers always involved fighting, screaming, and avoiding one another. But I guess the appearance of this beautiful Harper changes all of that.

This Harper who seems to have no interest in me in any way. Yes, it’s true I’ve been a bit of an ass, but I’ve sprinkled in my usual charm as well, and that’s had no effect on her. I don’t know what’s wrong with her, but she troubles me deeply. I’m a good looking prince. She should be bowing at my feet.

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone like her in my life.

“He’s wrong,” Gareth says, followed by some colorful swearing.

“He’s not seeing the larger picture,” Alaric says, and I know before he starts speaking that it’s going to be all about the rules and honor and what’s right and wrong, because that’s just how the stick-in-the-mud is. “Dragon riders are supposed to be nobles. They’re supposed to have been trained from birth. And they sure as hell are not supposed to be women. Harper breaks every rule that’s ever been set into place. She’s disrupting our training and our bonding with our dragons. She needs to go. How can he not see that?”

“Besides,” I say, “she’s a beautiful woman who he’s thrown in with a bunch of horny men. Don’t tell me you haven’t seen the looks the guys are giving her. It’s going to cause problems when she starts being passed around. Understandably, the men are not going to want to share her.”

I certainly wouldn’t want to. Not that I wouldn’t sleep with other women, of course, but I wouldn’t want her with other men. It’s a territorial thing that only a man would understand.

“You’re assuming she’ll allow herself to be passed around,” Alaric says, frowning.

I laugh. Is he serious? “A woman like that. A peasant. Surrounded by the perfect male specimens… of course it won’t be much longer before she starts spreading her legs.”

Alaric looks at me funny. “Do you intend to sleep with her?”

A very delicious image forms in my mind, but I say, “No. Of course not.”

Even though I might be lying. As irritating as I find her, as ridiculous as I find her presence here, if she showed up in my bed, I wouldn’t turn her away. I’ve already imagined countless things I could do to the little spitfire.

Gareth punches the wall. “If she was just some fuck toy for the men, I wouldn’t mind, but she has that powerful male dragon at her back. A dragon who seems to only want her as his rider. We need to disrupt their connection. We need to show Ebron that we’d make for better riders.”

“How do we do that?” Alaric asks.

Gareth opens his mouth, then shuts it, and I know why.
