Chapter 7
He was a fool for wanting her.
As Christopher soared over the city and toward the dark forest that surrounded the glittering buildings of Sapphire Island, he knew that he was making a pretty dramatic statement to Allison. He was saying that he couldnât handle the information sheâd shared and that he needed to escape, so he was running.
He felt weak for doing it, and he felt horrible.
Allison was so fucking incredible that leaving her alone and naked in his office seemed like an awful thing to do, but he needed to fly. Heâd been trying to keep his dragon at bay all morning. Heâd been doing pretty damn well until sheâd come into the office and heâd stripped her down.
Oh, sheâd been so damn perfect. She was beautiful, of course, but she was sweet, too. She was kind. She was gentle. She was smart as hell. There were so many wonderful things to like about Allison that Christopher couldnât quite figure out which thing he liked most.
What he did know was that flying always relaxed him. It always gave him a place to clear his head. That was one of the great things about living where he did. He could fly as much as he wanted to and nobody cared because everyone else was a flying, shapeshifting dragon, too.
Christopher wasnât sure what came over him, but he found himself heading toward Declanâs house. While Christopher and Brian had both chosen homes close to work, Declan was a bit of a recluse. He was also an outdoorsy sort of dragon. He spent his lunch hour in the treehouse in the forest that heâd built long ago, and he spent it with his wife. Christopher approached the treehouse quietly, soaring over it and circling around a few times before he finally landed.
Then he waited.
If Declan was inside with Zoa, there was a good chance that they were making love. He didnât need to see that. Nobody did. Oh, Christopher was perfectly happy for his brother. He just didnât need to see Declanâs dick. So, Christopher waited patiently outside of the treehouse. He sat just outside of it on the grass, and he closed his eyes.
He counted, trying to calm himself. That was a trick his mother had taught him years ago. Sheâd always had a lot of stress and an incredible amount of anxiety that had been difficult for her to manage. Sheâd touch the necklace she always wore around her neck â the one that seemed to glow at times â and sheâd count to 100. Then sheâd count backwards to zero. Then sheâd count again.
Now, Christopher tried that same method of self-soothing, and to his pleasure, it seemed to work.
âWhat are you doing?â Declanâs voice cut through Christopherâs silent meditation, and he was so surprised that he shifted right back into his human form and found himself sitting cross-legged on the front lawn of his brotherâs home.
âIs that Christopher?â Zoaâs voice sounded from inside. âI told you it was Christopher.
