Chapter 18

“Just one second,” Dallas murmured as she finished sending a long text.

Rhys couldn’t help but stare at her, drink in every inch of her as her fingers flew across her screen. Her phone pinged as it broke the text into multiple messages. She’d pulled her long hair back into a ponytail and had on a formfitting sweater that showed off her perfect breasts. Comfortable like him, she also had on jeans and well-worn sneakers.

“Everything okay?” Rhys asked. They were heading out to search again. At least today they were starting in an area close to the mansion. He’d asked her about driving or riding a bike today but she’d wanted to walk. She said she preferred to in case the symbol was somewhere more at eye level, which apparently it often was. She said it was the type of thing usually half hidden and she didn’t want to miss it.

“Yeah.” She tucked her phone away into her crossbody bag. “I just wanted to let King know about some of the spots I found for community gardens, including the one across the street from Avery and your friend. I forgot to tell him about everything I’d found and didn’t want to forget.”

He fell in step with her as they headed down the walkway to the open gates. He inhaled subtly, her sweet scent wrapping around him, making his dragon purr right under the surface.

“So tell me about your friend Mikael,” she said as they stepped onto the sidewalk.

What. The. Fuck. He realized he was growling when she stared at him in shock.

“What? Is he not a good guy?” She whispered the last part as she glanced over her shoulder, as if she expected Mikael to overhear them. “Because it’s pretty clear that he’s interested in my friend, so I just wanted to check that he was decent and not a giant dick.”

His beast retreated immediately. For some reason he’d thought she was asking for herself—she had called the male sexy. Which was annoying. “Yes, he is a trusted friend. And he was a brilliant warrior.” And it made Rhys sad that Mikael had lost his family. He’d wanted to ask him more about his clan, but it hadn’t been the time for it. He would wait until they had more privacy.

“Good.” Dallas looked down at the little map she’d brought. “I’m pretty sure Avery likes him too. But she’s kind of oblivious to things and I don’t think she realizes he’s into her.”

He snorted, drawing a look from her. Her friend wasn’t the only oblivious one.

“What?” she asked.

“Nothing,” he murmured, “though I’m fairly sure that Axel is going to get his head knocked off for flirting with her so mercilessly.”

She snickered. “I don’t think you’re wrong about that. He is a terrible flirt. With males and females,” she added.

Yeah, he’d picked up on that as well. The guy seemed like an equal opportunity flirter, and it was all harmless as far as Rhys could tell. He didn’t want to talk about that damn lion, however.
