small mole lay on the top of her right breast. He wondered how many more moles and freckles she had on her body.
Not that he’d ever find out.
With herculean effort, Kai looked to Jane’s face. Her long, black hair tumbled around her shoulders. He couldn’t help thinking her hair was the perfect length to wind around his fist and tug her head back for a kiss.
Then amusement danced in Jane’s eyes and her voice broke the spell. “Did you get a good enough look or would you like me to give a little twirl so you can see the rest?”
He longed to see how her jeans hugged her arse, but he dared not ask for it. “Don’t be daft. That outfit is a bit revealing, but better than the dress from last night. You also look different enough from yesterday that few should recognize you, in the event you run into a hunter. Are you ready to go investigate now?”
Jane crossed her arms over her chest and Kai made every effort not to look at her plumped up breasts. “I’m surprised you aren’t asking for a play-by-play on how the trip to the hotel went.”
Kai looked to Nikki. “Any problems?” Nikki shook her head and Kai looked back to Jane. “Done. Now, answer the question.”
Sighing, Jane shrugged off her short, faux leather coat. “Before we go anywhere, I want a word with you.”
Kai frowned. “Then speak.”
“In private,” Jane stated.
“Whatever you want to say to me you can say to Nikki.”
Jane raised her brows. “Oh, really? So if I wanted to rip your shirt off and asked you to flex, you’d be okay with Nikki watching, too?”
He shrugged. “Nudity is a human concern. Nikki has seen me naked before and will again.”
“It’s called teasing, Kai Sutherland. You should try it sometime,” Jane replied.
His beast finally broke free. I want to do a different type of teasing. Get her alone and we can try it.
No.
Kai gave Jane his best stare. “You’re wasting time. Speak.”
Jane took a step toward him. “In private.”
As they stared at one another, Kai almost admired the female’s stubbornness. Most humans would back down from a dragon-shifter, especially if they were a Protector.
Yet Jane looked about ready to fight him if necessary.
The image of the human attempting to tackle him almost made Kai smile.
His dragon growled. I think we should tackle her into bed.
Ignoring his beast, Kai studied Jane’s face. Judging by the firmness of her jaw, she wasn’t going to back down.
Rather than waste time, Kai motioned down the hall with a hand. “Fine. Go to the map room from last night.”
With a triumphant look on her face, Jane walked down the hall. As he watched her arse move in the tight jeans, Nikki cleared her throat.
Fuck. He didn’t need Nikki teasing him later.
Kai met her brown eyes. “Zain arrived while you were out and took the two hunters to a secure location. Contact him and see if he’s found out anything.”
Before Nikki could do more than bob her head, Kai moved down the hall. Part of him was disappointed Jane’s arse was nowhere to be seen, while the other part of him was glad the temptation was out of sight.
His dragon spoke up again. Remember what I said before. Kiss the human and forget about the other one.
He entered the room and lost the ability to speak. Jane was bent over the table with the map and he had a clear view of her breasts encased in a black bra.
Looking up, Jane smiled. “Do I have your attention now, dragonman?”
~~~
Jane bit her lip to keep from laughing. Kai blinking with his mouth open wasn’t a sight she’d soon forget.
Since she needed him to think with the head on his shoulders, Jane stood up and placed a hand on her hip. “Can you speak now?”
Clearing his throat, Kai clenched and unclenched his fingers. “Tempting an unattached dragonman is a dangerous thing to do.”
“Maybe with a regular dragonman, but not you. You’re Mr. Self-control, after all.”
Kai’s expression turned neutral. “You put up a tantrum
