Jane secured Kai’s sling and gave his chest a little pat. “Even if it means I win this round, that wasn’t so bad, was it?”

Kai scratched his chest. “Celebrate winning this time because it won’t happen again.”

She rolled her eyes. “You’re such a sore loser.”

She moved away from Kai and picked up the borrowed jacket from the bed. At some point, she would find a way to have her own clothes again.

Kai grunted and she smiled. “You must be feeling better if you can grunt.”

He grunted again and Jane laughed. Her dragonman’s voice filled the room. “I like your laugh. You should laugh more often.”

“You’re just trying to change the subject, Mr. Sutherland.”

“No. I like how your eyes sparkle and your cheeks turn slightly pink.”

She resisted covering her cheeks. “It’s strange when you’re nice to me.”

“I thought you didn’t want me to be nice one minute and an arsehole the next.”

She decided to change the subject. “Instead of arguing the point, let’s go.”

“You just don’t want to admit you’re wrong.”

“Says the stubborn head Protector.”

Kai came up to her and placed a hand on her lower back. “This isn’t over, but let’s go. I want to hear what Bram has to say. Unless you’ve changed your mind and want to tell me everything?”

She raised an eyebrow and pointed to her face. “Does it look like I’m going to tell you? This is my stern face.” She exaggerated her frown and slight glare.

Moving his hand to her backside, he squeezed her arse cheek and Jane squeaked. “I don’t see any such thing.”

“Wow, I’ve really coaxed out the incorrigible flirt, haven’t I?”

“No comment, Ms. Journalist. Let’s go.”

Kai pressed gently against her bum and she started walking.

The dragonman never severed contact, though. She never thought she was the type of woman to want a possessive man, but she was starting to like it. No matter Kai’s faults—and there were probably many she still didn’t know about—he had no problem displaying his interest and intent.

Add in the mundaneness of them waking up together earlier, and Jane was honest enough with herself to admit she wanted more of it. The only question was whether she could have it. If Rafe refused to help Stonefire, the dragon-shifters might not welcome him back to their land. If she stayed, and she was starting to warm up to the idea, she would miss her brother.

Kai’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “You’re only quiet when you’re thinking. Tell me what’s on your mind.”

Jane blinked as she realized they were outside already. She hadn’t been paying attention.

Since she couldn’t tell him the full truth, she stuck as close to it as possible. “My brother. I was wondering how he’d do here.”

He frowned. “No one is allowed on Stonefire until I run a background check.”

She fought a smile. “Is that so? And what happens when the badass Protector gets shot? Will everyone just line up at the gates and wait until you have a chance to screen them all?”

“Don’t be daft. If Bram can’t do it, then their visits are rescheduled.
