Chapter Seven

Alliah ducked under the swing of his sword and darted close, jabbing him in the solar plexus with a gauntleted fist. Leo spun out of the way with an oof, willing himself not to double over.

His red dragon did not pull her punches. A dribble of blood trickled from a cut on his arm, but he hadn’t managed to land a blow on her. She was so small and swift and savage that he had to relearn everything he knew about combat.

He didn’t want to bruise her. He wanted to bed her. And he was well aware that his sexual urges were offsetting his fighting skills.

If she had sexual urges toward him, she was better at ignoring them in order to cut him down to size.

Several gnomes, waiting for their comrades to report from the other side of the portal, were perched on top of the gateway boulder to watch their sweaty, competitive training session. Heavy betting was going on, and it wasn’t in his favor. Alliah, who barely seemed winded, counseled him on the various Earth devices he would have access to as they battled. Her burned arm did not slow her one whit.

“The electric net—” She danced past a lunge he’d thought for sure would make it to her body. “It shoots like an arrow out of the tube when you—”

Clang! She blocked his second strike with the small shield attached to her forearm. In a flurry of thrusts, she forced him backward toward the portal. He impressed even himself with his dodging capabilities, though he lost his grip on his lattice and it sparkled in the corner of his eye.

Her red lattice was more controlled, casting a faint radiance across her brown skin that he longed to touch. In her short pants and top, he could see so much of that skin, so much of that sexy tracery. He wanted to start at her ankles and lick his way up. But not before he—shit!

Alliah vaulted into the air like she had springs for legs and bopped him in the head with her shield. Wham!

This was getting ridiculous. He’d spent five years as a brawler when one wizard had grown tired of his rebelliousness and conscripted him to a border militia. It had been the best five years of his life, treated as almost an equal by the humans who fought alongside him, until they’d needed money for new armor and sold him. He had skills. It was time to prove it to Alliah, quit going soft on her just because he was sweet on her.

“Pay attention,” she demanded. Ping! Her sword marked him through his pants, close enough to his groin that he knew it was purposeful. Was she telling him to quit thinking with his dick and fight her? “Repeat what I just told you about the nets.”

“Arrows. Shoot. Tube.” He used his superior height and reach to chase her too far away to nick him with her sword. She skimmed to one side, he matched her.
