Chapter Eight

“Well, I must say I had no idea the evening would turn out like this,” Joey smiled and leaned back, extricating his hand from Sophia’s.

When the Council had called him earlier, he’d expected information on the second rogue dragon, but he certainly hadn’t expected to be told said rogue wanted to meet him. Nor to be given a time and place to meet her.

Her. A female rogue. He was still struggling to wrap his mind around that one, despite the fact the female sat opposite him. Tall and slender, with a stacked rack and masses of blonde hair, she was most guys’ wet dream. Not his.

His tastes ran to short, with killer curves, and even if they didn’t, the unstable little gleam in the woman’s eyes would have put him off. Like she couldn’t work out if she wanted to kiss or gut him, but would find either option equally satisfying.

She smiled, her gaze following his hand and curled her fingers into a delicate fist. The sharpness of her manicure caught his eye and his lips compressed. If she’d been anywhere near a salon, he’d eat the tablecloth. No, the partial shift was to prove a point. It took a great deal of control to partially shift, especially something as precise as fingernails.

“Neither did I. When they told me Liam had been killed, I expected your name to come up. But, I…” She looked him up and down and smiled. Obviously he had been found wanting but then, even he had to admit his human form was less bulk and more streamlined. It was only in his dragon form that he was truly awe inspiring. “Hadn’t expected you to look so… human, shall we say?”

He smiled himself, part-shifting his teeth to razor-sharp points. Juvenile, maybe, but he’d never met a rogue like this. She was articulate, intelligent, and from Joey’s point of view, scary as hell.

There had been rumors for a long time that the rogues were organizing themselves. Most, including Joey, outright laughed at the idea. Rogue dragons were bluntly put, a few nuggets short of a Happy Meal. As a magical creature, a dragon was literally steeped in power, and that very power sent some of them over the edge into madness.

Organized dragons that were also insane? It didn’t bear thinking about. But there was no doubt about it, the delicate looking woman in front of him was both a rogue and as mad as a hatter.

Joey reached forward for his wine glass, using the movement to cover a quick glance around the restaurant to gauge how many humans were in the place. How many could he save if she went bat shit crazy?

Movement outside caught his eye and his heart fell. Katie, getting into a strange car. Shit, their date… She obviously hadn’t waited. Worse, she’d come looking for him. His world tilted as he watched the car turn in the lot, Katie in the passenger seat with her head held high. She ignored him completely, but her companion didn’t.
