Chapter Eleven

VIV KNEW THE minute she put the bikini on she was in trouble. The predatory look in Kage’s eyes when he saw her confirmed it. Seeing him all wet and muscular didn’t help any either. Good thing Erica would be joining them.

Or so she thought.

“Come on in. Cool off.” He gestured at the ten-seater hot tub beside the pool. “Then we’ll head that way.”

“Where’s your sister?”

“She’ll be back.”

Viv strolled down the stairs into the pool. They didn’t say anything right away, just enjoyed the water and eyed each other as they waited for Erica to return. Not that she did anytime soon. In retrospect, she should have seen the set up right away. Only when Kage came close as she drifted in the shallow end, did she realize what was happening.

“How much do you know about dragons and our particular powers?” he murmured as she sat on a step and he drifted nearby. “More importantly, how useful water can be to us?”

Son of a gun. Of course. It jumbled their magic. It could make other dragons blind to their thoughts and actions.

“All right,” she said. “So we’re in your pool. That means Hallstein has no way of knowing what we’re up to.”

She remained curious about what she had sensed from him earlier. That he wasn’t happy she wanted to ally herself with Hallstein. More than that, she kept mulling over what Erica had said telepathically. That Kage would never harm her. That they were both fighting strong feelings that went beyond mere attraction.

But of course they were.

It only made sense given everything she knew.

Did she ever really think Kage would hurt her? No. But there was a sharp edge of danger to him she couldn’t read. One that Julie had sensed. One that Viv figured might be in her own blind spot because she was so attracted to him. Yet now she wondered.

Maybe it had all been some sort of disguise.

She knew all about that sort of thing.

“I won’t beat you, and I won’t take you against your will,” Kage said. “Not even for my boss.” He shook his head. “And we both know we can’t fake any of those things. Hallstein would never believe it.” He moved closer and gripped the railing beside her. “So you have three options left. Two won’t be pleasant. The third, I can assure would be.”

“I’m all ears,” she murmured, overly aware of how close he was, how hot she was becoming.

“The first? I bring you back to Hallstein now and let shit go down the way he sees fit. My guess is it’ll be pretty brutal. The second? I bring you home now, wherever that is, and Hallstein tracks you right back to your family.” He shook his head. “Erica and I aren’t nearly powerful enough yet to protect all of you from him.”

“And the third option?”

“Mate with me,” he said bluntly. “So we become more powerful.”

“Should we, though? What guarantee is there in that?” she murmured. “And while we might have chemistry, I get the feeling you’re not all that crazy about me in general, Kage.
